As promised, and despite the fact that I've now moved in with a boy (hence the title 'girly flat') here's the long overdue tour of my (old) kitchen. To see the before when we first moved in to the flat check out this post. We faced several decor challenges with our kitchen. It's a long narrow space with only one low window so the lighting isn't ideal and we only have lower cabinets, one of…
Hello lovelies, I have some exciting news which explains why there’s been a bit of a lull on this here blog for a while…. I’ve moved! That’s right, again! I moved in with L last week and we’re currently in the process of unpacking (and boy do I have SO much stuff) and making this house our home. I’m shattered and achey and seriously questioning why I own SO MUCH STUFF but I’m so, so…
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of being invited to an evening of crafts and fizz at the press launch for The Handmade Fair, which will be coming to Bowood House in Wiltshire in June. The launch was held in The Forge Bristol which is such a beautiful setting, after following them on IG for a while it was nice to have a chance to explore. I was a tad obsessed with…
If, like me, you find Valentine's Day pretty cringe, and your relationship is built on teasing, playful insults and a healthy dose of sarcasm rather than soppy declarations of love, then finding a card for the one you love can be pretty tough. This year I've been looking for funny, sarcastic cards that remind my man that the girl he fell in love with has a pretty twisted sense of humour. After all, I don't…
Ok, so the idea of me giving life advice to anyone (even myself) is totally cringeworthy and frankly laughable, but I just turned 27, which feels scarily adult for some reason and it's got me thinking about my journey over the last few years. I think when I was younger this always seemed the age where you should probably have your shit together and big adulting steps are on the horizon. Of course, I do not…
Is anyone else taking January as a bit of a warm-up month? Like many people I get all fired up at the beginning of the year to be productive, achieve goals and set resolutions and goals for the year ahead. But despite having the best intentions the glow of Christmas fades and the gloom of January sets in, and with the long dark evenings my productivity ends up tanking. But this year I’ve decided not…
Hello lovelies and happy new year! I hope you've all had fab Christmases and new years' and that January hasn't been too much of a shock to the system. For me January is a time for planning, goal setting, getting organised in all elements of my life (hello clothes clear-out 🙌🏻) but also reflecting. I like to take time to look back over the past year, remembering the good and not so good times and acknowledging…

As many of you know I'm a bit of a bullet journal addict, and I have a love for beautiful, quirky, colourful stationery. This gift guide is for the BuJo lovers in your life, whether they're seasoned pro's or just starting out, there's something below that I'm sure they'd appreciate.
