pack your bags

Hurrah hooray! I'm off on holiday! I tend to get very upset if I don't have a flight confirmation in my name at any given time, and I'm the sort of person who needs to plan a new trip within a week or two of arriving home from the previous one. It's been an absolute age since I've been able to get out of the country due to having had a pretty crummy past 6 months. So I'm taking a very well earned little break to Lisbon for the next few days where I intend to wonder the streets and get thoroughly lost, seek out curious shops, gorge myself on seafood and custard tarts and bar hop till the early hours. Apparently Lisbon is a city perched on seven hills, so I suspect despite all the aforementioned good living I intend to do, with any luck I'll come back to London with with buns of steel too!

    Flight confirmations are crucial to my wellbeing as well. Ditto the crummy six months - even more reason. But oh dear - Lisbon will be great when you get there. Lucky I didn't actually book my ticket to the south of France next weekend. It feels somehow...exotic to be stranded by a volcano rather than a cabin crew strike though...

    I know...just want to re-schedule NOW rather than this endless limbo of waiting for the skies to clear. However on the bright side this past weekend in London was beautiful and it was chucking rain in Lisbon - so if and when I get there I'm hoping the sun gods will be smiling.

deco lust

Hows about a little bit of interior décor porn to start off the new year? Love the light, the floors, the monochromatic scheme and quirky features in these rooms although I'm slightly woeful about the fact that I barely scratched the surface of the endless list of jobs I have to improve my own little abode over the holidays. Never mind, I'll just pretend this is my flat instead. Images B&B Italia via Marcus Design

a break

Image
I've been away in a pretty little seaside town for what I hoped would be a relaxing weekend with friends but for various reasons turned out to be less so. Unfortunately you can't always enforce serenity just because you're on holiday, but I do find watching the sea is always quite a meditative experience so here's a quick snap I took as a sliver of blue sky snuck through the gloomy clouds which were lurking about for most of the weekend.

etsy love: iviemade cushions

Image
I love discovering new blogs and talented people through comments left on posts, and that's exactly how I discovered Elizabeth of E tells tales  who hand makes these charming cushion covers, available at her etsy shop iviemade . I've got a huge crush on the Eiffel tower pillows (eventually you'll work out I basically have a huge crush on almost anything with an Eiffel tower on it) . If you hurry over to her blog right now, she's running a competition to win a pillow in celebration of her blogging birthday.
