Take Me Away: A Weekend in Anglesey, Wales
While I will always enjoy an exciting city break or jetting off somewhere a bit more exotic on my holidays, sometimes all we really need is to reconnect with nature and take a break from the noise and stress of every day life. So when Wayne's birthday rolled around,...
Take Me Away: A Weekend in Edinburgh
Firstly, I know I was supposed to put this post up on Friday but with Wayne being off all week, well, I decided to give myself a break from the normal schedule! Sometimes your loved ones have to take priority and you want to go to the cinema or watch Harry Potter...
On Fridays, we wear pink… and navy blue and white.
So on Wednesday, I shared with you my holiday snaps of our glorious holiday in sun-soaked Menorca and in that post, I said how I am often inspired by the colours, patterns, textiles, architecture et al. of other cultures. Well, if there was one thing that I adored...
Take Me Away: Menorca

LivingEtc House Tours with AO: Vintage Boho Brights

LivingEtc House Tours with AO: Eclectic Boho Glam
So as you may know, I used to work at AO as the Editor of AO at Home (now AO Life). I still write for their blog as a contributor and I still do some consultancy work with them as a freelancer and so when I was contacted to see if I might help out whilst they had a...
Kirsty Mitchell Photography (revisited)
It was back in 2011 that I discovered photographer Kirsty Mitchell and I've been completely entranced by her work ever since. The art you love is such a subjective thing, I realise, but when someone's work captures you, when you feel an emotional connection to it -...
Ideal Home Show, Manchester Christmas Event 2014
You may recall that last year I went to the Ideal Home Christmas Show down in London and while I admit to not being terribly impressed at that show, when I was invited to attend the Ideal Home Show in Manchester this year by sponsors Go Compare, I figured the 10...
Shop in the Spotlight: A visit to Abigail Ahern, London
So if you've been reading Swoon Worthy for a while, you may already know that I'm a big fan of British Interior Designer Abigail Ahern. Her love of dark paint colours and her fearless jumble of eclectic accessories and stand out pieces is forever inspiring me to take...
Shop in the Spotlight: A Visit to Live Like the Boy!
If there is one thing I am loving about going part time (and honestly, there are SO MANY THINGS) it's having the opportunity to get out and about and actually do things! One of those very fun things I got to do recently was meet the very lovely blogger, interior...
Take Me Away: 3 Days in Historic Bath
I was lucky enough to be able to fill last year with a number of different visits to some cool destinations - Barcelona, Amsterdam, Stockholm and closer to home, Lincolnshire and Shropshire. This year? Aside from a trip to London to visit friends a couple of months...
Ideal Home Show Christmas 2013 Event
So as I said in my last post, I attended the Ideal Home Show Christmas Event a few weeks ago, my tickets and travel costs courtesy of the lovely folks at Magnet. I met up with my friend Sarah who'd recently moved from Manchester to the big city of London (sad face)...

What Happens in Amsterdam… Gets Blogged About (Part I)
I can't believe it's been over a week since I was in Amsterdam for the Meet The Blogger conference. It was a completely crazy few days and while I enjoyed it, I kind of felt like my fuzzy brain was in a little bit of meltdown afterwards.It was fantastic seeing...
Take Me Away… Amsterdam
First, I just wanted to say a big thank you to those of you who voted for me in the Apartment Therapy Room for Colour contest - a big push at the end meant that my bedroom was at the #4 position in the International Division when the competition closed so thanks so...
