My window display, which featured in Style at Home magazine The shabby chic look – with it’s vintage aesthetic and romantic charm – is still a hugely popular theme for the home. While I love the quintessentially British cottage feel with a hint of opulent […]
Now Spring and it’s beautiful weather has finally arrived I’ve been able to put away last season’s bed throws and blankets and lighten the bedroom up. It’s usually this time of year when you realise what home improvements still need doing, and I definitely know […]
In one week’s time my 31st birthday will be upon me – yipee! A time for indulgence, treats and personal gratification. I like to milk my birthday for what it’s worth and I allow myself guilt-free requests such as magazines, pampering, new clothes and anything […]
Recently I said January is the month for fresh starts and new experiences and so a few weeks ago I placed my first order at vintage inspired Dotcomgiftshop. I’ve been visiting the site and receiving the emails for quite a long time but I just […]
