Would you?

Wednesday 31 August 2011

Whilst browsing through hundreds of pictures of interiors over the weekend, I  came across a couple of bedrooms with baths in them. This got me pondering my own bath/bedroom situation and whether or not I would want to put a bath in my bedroom. Aside from the obvious practical issues of moisture on the walls and wet carpets, there is just something incredibly old fashioned and romantic about having a bath in a plush bedroom. I have got to admit that I am undecided! I love the concept in boutique hotels and B&Bs but they have an army of cleaners to ensure the room looks fresh and new every day.  So my question to you is – would you?

Change of Season

Tuesday 30 August 2011

If you were in London over the weekend, you would know that I was more likely to kayak around my garden rather than catch a tan! I hate to say it but I think that Summer is truly over this side of the pond. On the plus side, it means that I can start stocking my wardrobe (in my head of course) with gorgeous tailored jackets, cute boots, wooley scarves and earthy accessories. Polyvore helped me created my Autumn wishlist for this season... *hint* *hint* really love those suede booties... just saying!

Do you have a bucket list? Things that you absolutely have to accomplish before your time comes? Not surprisingly, my bucket list revolves mostly around travel! Over the last 6 years I have been ticking off the countries that I spent my childhood dreaming about but every time I tick one off, another must-see pops onto the list! On the top of the list at the moment is a camping trip through the French countryside – and since you can put anything on your bucket list (no matter how unbelievable), I want to stay a couple of nights in a beautiful French chateau. Maybe one of these? I just can’t decide which!

My Fair London – Summer

Friday 26 August 2011

Each week Friday comes around (naturally) and I start to panic about what to post about for my London adventures. Then I start to get panicked about whether or not anyone really reads them and if it would really matter if I skipped it. And then London goes and surprises me, the skies brighten up and I get the perfect photo opportunity and then none of my worries really matter. It’s a bank holiday here this weekend so I am hoping to catch the last bits of summer in our garden! In the meantime, here are some pics that I managed to snap around the city this summer. Have a lovely weekend all!
