Visit Western France...

Whilst waiting for the tube the other day, I noticed these really sweet posters advertising holidaying in France... Tres fun festivals, superbe sea food, cycle rides to discover, vineyards to visit, picnic in the apple orchards, Monet's water lilies! C'est bon!

Kishi Bashi...

Also, to make things that teeny bit better... My favourite song of the moment.
Kishi Bashi with Bright Whites.











Hay there..!

Strewth! I have not done a post in the longest time... 

My only excuse is that my time has been taken up by stupid house hunting, what a bore! Needless to say, I have been going out of my mind, and my eyes have started to melt from looking at GumTree for too long. Turns out finding a flatshare in East London is easier said than done. The hunt is still on, I shall not be beaten!

In the meantime, to distract myself from my imminent homelessness, I'm going to revive my eyes with images of beautiful Danish furniture, from Hay... 

Now, if only I had somewhere to put all these lovely things!

Oh yes please, Do...

During my little Spanish adventure, I came across some beautiful shops selling a whole host of delights. So many wonderful things caught my eye... I had to tear myself away, as I feared that I wouldn't have enough euros left for tapas and wine! One such place was the amAzing concept store Do.

Well now, where to start... I could literally live in this fantastical place. From the moment I strolled past the window and spied the wooden hut framework, housing the cash register and impeccably dressed staff, I knew that I had to swiftly spin back round and have a look inside.

'Do' can be described as a 'concept store', located in central Madrid, with a philosophy focused on the creation of a space integrating Art, Fashion, and Design as seen through the same lens. A store that is constantly shifting, open to collaboration among disciplines, in which to share a similar vision and lifestyle. 











I'm mad for Madrid...

I've been in Madrid the last few days, for work. It was all quite last minute, but a very fun adventure, I had such a good time! I only had a short time to wander around and see the sights, but here are a few of the things I saw...

Hooray for Herschel..!

Whilst strolling around the shops along Church Street on saturday afternoon, my boyfriend and I had a little peruse at the delights in the lovely Hub. The beautifully selected collection consists of pieces from independent boutiques, curated in separate spaces for the gents and the ladies... 

One such brand that they stock is the bag and backpack company, Herschel. Their Spring 2012 Lookbook is stunning. Let's grab a bag, a blanket, and some pals and go play in the woods!
