Shopping Haul: What I bought at H&M Home
So it's no secret that I'm a massive fan of H&M Home. Every season, they come out with incredibly gorgeous collections for the home and they are so reasonably priced that I simply can't help adding loads to my basket when I tentatively peek at their website....
Introducing Insect Mandala China from The Curious Department
This is such an exciting post for me today. For the first time ever, you'll be able to get your hands on my very first collaborative design!!! EEEK! For the last few weeks, I've been busy behind the scenes, working with The Curious Department to bring you a limited...

Marks & Spencer Are Killing It At the Moment and I’m Thrilled
After living in this country for the last 15 years, I have come to appreciate Marks & Spencer for the national institution that it is. I can't think readily of a comparison in the US. Perhaps I can compare it to Target or other department stores which sell food,...
The Natural World of The Curious Department
I adore bringing the outside in when decorating my home. From botanical prints to plants to animal prints and motifs, I'm a big fan of designs inspired by Mother Nature. So when I was contacted by The Curious Department who take these motifs and create gorgeous glam...
Shop in the Spotlight: Oliver Bonas, Manchester Piccadilly
New interior shops seem to be popping up left right and centre in the Manchester area recently and as someone who complained just earlier this year about the lack of great interior shops, I'm absolutely thrilled at their sudden proliferation. The latest shop to grace...
Shop in the Spotlight: A Visit to OBJECT, Chorlton
As I mentioned over the summer, there are times when I feel - considering how great a city Manchester is - it sometimes comes up lacking when trying to find interesting independent interior design shops. Well, it appears the universe has heard my complaining because...
Shop In the Spotlight: 17 Patterns Wallpaper
It's been a while since the last time I was absolutely blown away by a wallpaper collection. I love the odd pattern here and there from lots of different places and as a bit of a pattern obsessive, I'm surprisingly choosy with what I end up putting in my own home. But...
Shop in the Spotlight: A Visit to Rose & Grey, Altrincham
Let me first start by saying that while I may often complain about our weather, Manchester is still a pretty great place to live. I love that I live 10 minutes from a bustling city with amazing theatre, music, restaurants and bars. That we have some top notch...
Shop in the Spotlight: Urban Outfitters
Hey I'm back! Sorry about the radio silence last week - I came down with the most rotten cold and was just completely out of action for a few days. As a freelancer, I don't really get any paid sick leave (!) so I still had to get the writing I do for my clients done...
Shop in the Spotlight: H&M in Blush and Gold
As I've been churning out the Christmas content for clients, obviously I'm checking out lots and lots of different retailers to see what their offerings are for the holiday season. Well, I've always been a fan of H&M Home for their incredibly trend-led and...
Shop in the Spotlight: LOVEThESIGN
I came across Italian retailer, LOVEThESIGN recently and with a myriad of design-lead products in their range available in loads of different countries, I thought I really must share it with you. With over 200 brands and designers represented, there's plenty to choose...
Shop in the Spotlight: Out There Interiors
Ya know how sometimes you come across a really cool online retailer and just think 'OH MY GOD CAN I PLEASE LIVE IN THIS WEBSITE?' Well, stumbling across Out There Interiors was for me this kind of experience. When they say 'out there' they really do mean that and with...
Shop in the Spotlight: Sueno Boho Beds
I'm sure that years ago the only beds you could really buy were either made of wood or metal. The choice of an upholstered bed wasn't something I even knew existed to be honest with you and it seems that the upholstered kind only came back on the scene in the last 10...
Shop in the Spotlight: Mia Fleur (plus a discount!)
Well, it's my last Shop in the Spotlight post of the year and boy is it a good one. Not just because Mia Fleur is run by three amazing women - mum, Jacqui, and her daughters Hollie and Amelia - but because they are also just nice, creative people with a business I've...
