I’ve been spying these kinds of awesome ear cuffs around the net for a while. (via Pinterest/Who What Wear) I waited faithfully for a long time for them to start appearing on the British high street but, alas, they didn’t come (or at least I didn’t see them). So it was one Saturday, before I [...]
As summer approaches, I love adorning my wrists with racks of colour. These bright bracelets take minutes to knock up, you can get that festival feel by wearing several at once and they will go with virtually any casual outfit – all you need is the right coloured cord.
I’ve seen quite a few DIY cake stands around the internet with various items used as the base – glasses, vases, candlesticks, you name it! For my version I went for cut glass and used a plate and dessert glass both picked up in charity shops for a few quid. I decided to give my [...]
I was proud as punch a couple of weeks ago when one of my favourite blogs, Florence Finds, featured one of my DIY projects. It was this destination print-style wall art that I made for my travel-loving brother and sister-in-law, when they finally moved into a house they owned and which they could settle in. [...]
Embellished collars have been around for a while now, either as stand-alone accessories or attached to shirts, and I always like the look. I’ve also seen some fab DIYs around the internet – this one and this one are worthy of honorable mentions. I picked up this shirt in a charity shop with a view to adding some [...]
The other day I was getting ready to go out and the black jumpsuit I had on was sorely lacking something. I could picture in my mind the necklace wanted to wear but sadly it wasn’t in my jewellery box. So I made this! The great thing about this technique is you could use it [...]
Over the last few months I’ve been coveting pieces of jewellery the likes of which have not crossed my trinket box before. They tend to be described as “handlets” or even “slave bracelets” (I prefer the former!) and loop around a finger and your wrist. I like a touch of boho in my spring/summer style [...]
In yesterday’s outfit post I wore a khaki green jacket that I’d given a mini military makeover, by adding studs to the collar. You could easily use the same technique on a shirt if you wish. The key here is straight lines – as if your angles and spaces were being subjected to a kit [...]
Those with eagle eyes who read this post on my new geometric cushions may have also seen one of my latest DIY creations. I’ve been yearning for a sunburst mirror for some time, as any regular reader of interior design blogs must. But these mirrors – whether antique versions or modern replicas – sell for [...]
Early in 2012 I started blogging on this domain and diversified my content: as well as weddings I began writing about fashion, interiors, local events and places and a little more about me. As I said at the time, blogging is often something of a personal journey and I enjoy reading blogs when the writers [...]
