As you have probably noticed, I do loads of styled bridal shoots – I love collaborating with fellow creatives in the wedding industry, and it’s loads of fun pushing my creative boundaries to create pieces to go with a particular style, theme or colour scheme. You can see some of my previous styled shoots here ,…

Over Easter, I spent a glorious week back on the Eastern seaboard of America. We had great weather, great food and a wonderful time with family and friends. While I adore London, and the life and home I have built here over the last 8 years, and at this point certainly wouldn’t consider moving back…

“Everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal, suggested Adams. Anything created between birth and the age of 30 is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it.

So, another Valentine’s Day behind us. To be perfectly honest with you, Mr M. and I don’t 100% buy into it all anymore. Queueing up with 30 other people to buy mediocre chocolates, spending £5 on a card because all the £2 ones are really lame or dripping in awful sexual innuendo (do they do…

But most importantly (and excitingly), I was preparing for a styled shoot with a truly fabulous team at the amazing Fetcham Park in Surrey. We had Louise from…

I spent Saturday morning this weekend surrounded by Ikea chaos. Bolts, allen keys, boards, screws, those weird things that go on the other end of screws that Ikea seems to have invented to enable us to put together shelves with zero carpentry experience (hurrah Ikea!)… but at the end of the morning, I had a…

So, 2012 is now well and truly upon us. The mince pies have been replaced by chocolate Easter bunnies, the mulled wine stashed away until next autumn. And with all excuses for excess and indulgence as out of date as the Christmas turkey, it’s time for some resolutions. Typically, this time of year for me…
