Homegrown Flowers.

The only thing better than getting flowers from the Sunday Market is having flowers fresh picked from a garden. My lovely friend Hianta has a little allotment and this weekend she harvested her Dahlias which we arranged on her windowsill in the evening.

A Case Study.

Last weekend i was introduced to Tunnock's Tea Cakes for the first time. I'm a total sucker for packaging that looks like it hasn't ever been changed, and this does not disappoint. They remind me of a cake version of mallo cup in a domed form. They're almost too pretty to unwrap and devour.

Bouquets.

It's always funny in a house the little things that make all the difference. For me flowers are key. I was sent on a flower buying mission for work, and got to pretend for just a second that the budget i was given was for me. Walking down the street with a massive bouquet of flowers amused me, wondering what the passersby were thinking they had come from. Purples, blues and pinks bursting from brown paper waiting to be arranged and placed in corners and on tables.

Today feels like this.

New House, Pt. 2.

Moving into a new flat is always stressful, but the feeling you get once you're settled is unbeatable. For the first time since i've been in london i'm really happy with where i'm living. And on top of it, i feel like it looks like me.

New House, Pt. 1.

Home.

Dilly's.

Dilly's. Where to begin. I've been going to Dilly's since i was little, and not much has changed since then. A tiny shack that serves all varieties of hot dogs, burgers, fries and milkshakes, it sits next to the river happily, and is always packed. After ordering you get given a playing card, anxiously awaiting your number to be called. After eating whatever you've chosen, depending on age, you go to the canal or the river and try your luck at catching some tadpoles. After the tadpoles are caught you go back for a malted milkshake. It's a place that reminds me of being a kid, and how sometimes simplicity is key.

My New Favorite Ingredient.

Lately i've been getting more and more obsessed with sanbitter, and lo and behold, in bucks county, pennsylvania i found a case. Not only is the packaging beautiful and the color amazing, but it's also delicious when pour over ice with a slice of orange. And if you're feeling like something a bit sharper, add a bit of gin. This has quickly become my late summer summer cocktail of choice.

After a Brief Respite.

Well, now i'm back to London after a brief sojourn to the United States. It's a strange reversal to be in a sunny london and know that my house in pennsylvania is being pummeled by a hurricane. Having moved into a new flat, made a four hour long trip to ikea, put together an entire living room with the help of ikea directions and an allen wrench, two bottles of champagne and a bottle and a half of gin and working jet lagged, i'm tired to say the least. But i'm back! And i'm going to be better about posting. Promise!

Kate Moss + Vogue + Wedding = Amazing.

Kate Moss' wedding, shot by Mario Testino, and now hitting Vogue this month is all a match made in heaven. Looking like an editorial the entire way, the day looks magical, and Kate Moss, as usual, looks stunning.
