hi everyone! i hope you all had a fabulous valentine’s day – mine was very low key, which was perfect. sam insisted on staying in and making me dinner, and i acquiesced – i’m so used to cooking for the two of us, and stubbornly set in my way of doing things in the kitchen, that it’s really hard for me to sit back and let someone else take the wheel. fortunately we recently re-organized our furniture, so our sofa has a prominent seat in the kitchen (i finally admitted to …

Piper
Wearing: Miguelina lace jumpsuit (Net-A-Porter Sale or on Shopbop), Star Mela embellished clutch, Windsor Smith sandals (similar here), Jennifer Zeuner Mini Eye & Hamsa Necklace, Tai Infinity Necklace, Elizabeth and James ring, Jennifer Myer ring. There is no denying that my wardrobe has recently become a jumpsuit only zone. I find that playsuits and jumpsuits have much more personality and functionality than any dress. Although this lace jumpsuit isn’t the most versatile piece away from the beach or poolside being sheer crochet, it was my personal favourite…

Nourish
Cold Tuesday mornings… not a lot can tempt me out of bed at 6am unless it’s the cookbook launch of fitness guru Lorna Jane.

A cookbook is packed with delicious recipes firmly focusing on nourishment rather than dieting.

What I Wore | See Me Like This
WhatIWore: Today I feel so good – about myself, about my pregnancy and about life in general. I’m developing a personal theory about what makes for a good day for me. It’s a three pronged approach – I need to feel confident about myself, do something productive and spend time being creative. Together those three things always fill up my tank. // <

The long black veil
Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures It’s natural to balk a little at the image of models posing amidst gravestones and – in this case – imposing stone mausoleums. Maybe there’s an irreverence to it, an impiety; to tread foot where the dead lie buried, especially for a cause as flippant as fashion. Let’s face it though: it’s not about disturbing the peace of the Sleepers, who are truly too far under to stir. It’s the living who take offence. And …

it’s beginning to look a lot like. . .
hello hello!well, believe it or not, i am STILL nursing this cold, and starting to forget what it feels like to have a nose that isn’t runny, and a head that isn’t almost too heavy for its neck. one of my readers, lauren, pointed out that i shouldn’t nap in the afternoon, and i think she’s right – unfortunately i’ve become stuck in this awful cycle of wake up super early & tired, work for 8 or 9 hours, become exhausted, go home, nap, wake up for dinner and find myself unable …
