A few weeks ago I shared a little video about how

A few weeks ago I shared a little video about how I was struggling to get dressed, and over the last year, feeling a bit lost with my confidence and personal style. But! I am desperate to have a spring and summer feeling joyful and excited about my wardrobe and all the frippery and frills that live inside of it. So, if you've ever felt uninspired or overwhelmed getting dressed- this is for you (and us)! I'm on a silly little mission to rediscover the joy of dressing, one wardrobe sort at a time, in my messy old sentimental wardrobe. I'll be delving into my style pillars, most worn, moodboarding and trying to find the gaps- and mostly, how I can shift my 'jeans and a nice top' default (god, as much as I love it).

The wonderful Jess from @made.by.sundae has worked with me on a series of amazing video introductions for this series; her work in video, collage and design is some of my absolute favourite and I'm so excited to be sharing her beautiful work too- do follow her if you also want an enormous dose of creativity. Let's go!

Happy Easter folks! I hope you've had a slow, bun

Whether you're planning on curling up on the sofa

Whether you're planning on curling up on the sofa with a tower of toasted hot cross buns or lucky enough to have a free long weekend stretched out in front of you- I thought I'd pop together a little list of five glorious things happening in London this weekend in case you need some last minute ideas. From plants and garden tours to shopping with some of the best independent sellers in the U.K.- there's some gorgeous things happening! But please do add your plans below for other lovely ideas (or just some glorious film suggestions for Bank Holiday viewing too)... 🌼

Yesterday we packed our lunches, crayons, and enou

Yesterday we packed our lunches, crayons, and enough pocket money that meant that a 3ft long puppet snake joined us on the train home, and headed to @kewgardens. With promise of the Octonauts making a half term appearance (for him) and a forest of blossoms and magnolia (for me), we spent the afternoon admiring the daffodils, swan watching (to the point where Arlo said 'that's enough now mummy!') and exploring the glasshouse and enormous children's garden area (which I'm pretty sure you could spend hours in in itself)! With a 200 year old oak tree surrounded by an aerial walkway, space to sit and draw (and play 'what's the time Mr Wolf', which seems to be a current favourite)- for an afternoon that initially stretched out in front of us with no plans, it turns out a very special day out can indeed start at 12pm after a morning of indecision... (plus the promise of an afternoon ice cream is always a bonus)!

P.S Arlo watched me write this, and said 'can you write that we had fun'- so, in the words of Arlo (and me)- we really had fun. (ad/press tickets)

If you know me, you'll know I'm partial to rushing

If you know me, you'll know I'm partial to rushing. It's a personality trait I am desperate to shift but my most used phrases are regrettably, 'we might be late!!' and 'we've got to go!’ during the school week. So this half term, as much as there are glorious things going on in London and across the country, I just really don't want us to be dashing about. I want room for slowness, a little bit of spontaneity and space to say yes more rather than ‘oh I don’t think we have time’. I miss the days between nursery where each day felt like a small adventure; even if it was just to the swings unplanned and getting a pastry on the way home. So here are a little list of lovely things I'd quite like to do this half term, because truly, as long as I'm not bellowing 'it's time to brush your teeth!!' for the fifth time in a row, I know we’ll have fun whatever we do- in the front room or on the train to town (but if you have any Easter craft ideas *please* share kindly)!

Good evening lovely people! If like me you’re wo

Good evening lovely people! If like me you’re wondering if you’ll get a food slot for tomorrow and also realised it’s half term so you *possibly* should have been more organised- I have you! I thought I'd share a handful of the recipes we all lean on week to week, and the dinners we seem to have on repeat endlessly (we’re a big pasta household, if you hadn’t guessed)!

🧀 Mamma P's Mac and Cheese (a Purvis classic- available on my blog!)
🥫 Gnocchi Traybake from The Roasting Tin by @missminifer
🥔 Halloumi and Butterbean curry by @boldbeanco (this is *so* good)
🍝 Julia’s Turkey Bolognese by Mike’s mum Julia- FODMAP friendly and so delicious! I can share the recipe if anyone would like it!
