Welcome to my new favourite city in the U.S (sorry LaLaLand). I’ve been wanting to go to New Orleans for so long but when it actually came down to it, I didn’t actually have a vision in my mind of what I expected the city to be aside from the cliched photos of the French Quarter and jazz bars. And as someone who tends to live in my imagination when it comes to travel, this is kind of unusual for me. I’d heard lots of of different things before we headed out there, a lot of people raving about how it was their favourite city in the world (Yep, I get it) and a few others flagging safety issues ..read more

The island of Milos has been on my radar for a couple of years now and it’s always nice to finally tick off one of those bucket list places you’ve been eyeing up for while. Like finally getting to kiss your crush if you will and my first embrace with Milos was 100% worth the wait. After the thrill of the chase, it actually took me a couple of days to really warm up to Milos as the reality of the fantasy was a lot windier and more barren than I first anticipated. Relentless wind (not a trait anyone wants in a crush let’s be real) is a bit of a perennial problem on Milos and tends to batter the ..read more

  The wait is finally over. For me, rather than you! My new jewellery collection designed in collaboration with Missoma has been in the works for almost a year, a plan hatched whilst in L.A together last October, so it really does feel like a bit of a baby I’ve slowly been hatching behind the scenes… Although thankfully no painful labour involved hopefully!  Having been working with Missoma since 2014, this is our third permanent collection together and without doubt the most personal collection I’ve designed to date. Called 1987 after the year I was born (a vintage year I like to t ..read more

This year’s been a funny one with regards to trips so far. I try and do two proper adventures a year, and by adventure I just mean further afield and over 10 days to explore a few different places. We were close to booking Tokyo and the Philippines for May (still way up there on my bucket list) but sadly my boyfriend couldn’t get the time away so we canned that idea and decided on some smaller getaways until this winter when hopefully we’ll be able to get a proper long haul trip sorted and scratch my travelling itch while producing some great content and tips for you guys while at it. Given w ..read more

I love travelling further afield from my London-base. The white-washed atolls of the Maldives; the vast bushland of East Africa; the vibrancy and colours of Rajasthan, and of course the neck-straining tall palms and golden light of southern California, all some of my favourite places in the world and all hold that can’t-find-anywhere-else magic. But I’ve come to realise, when it comes to that easy-breezy, sand between your toes summer feeling, it really is hard to beat Europe, namely one of my favourite islands just about anywhere, Ibiza. To me, it isn’t really summer until I’ve been back to ..read more

I think it’s long established I’m a sunny weather girl. I love leather trousers, thick tread boots and massive bomber jackets yes, but nothing gets me excited like summer threads. Sunny days in London suddenly have me thinking beyond jeans and boots and just like that, I feel like I’ve got my mojo back for getting dressed on a daily basis. So in addition to the two outfits featured, and incidentally two of my favourite current colour combinations (tequila sunrise cocktails and terracotta against a blue sky), I thought I’d make a little favourites/Spring wish list compiling everything I’ve spo ..read more

  It’s been almost (emphasis on almost) twenty years since I was last in Cape Town and I was really excited to see how the cities changed since I was last there a train-track wearing gawky tweenager. I’d heard tonnes about the amazing food scene in Cape Town (make the reservations well in advance – it’s like New York in terms of getting a table at some places) and was excited for more beach time, wine and culture over our last two days. Being a beach bum, it’s unsurprising I chose the cliffside Cape View Clifton as our base camp. Compared to London and L.A, Cape Town is quick and easy to ..read more

From Franschooek, we headed South East for a few days exploring the cape peninsula before finishing off in Cape Town itself. I really wanted to get at least a taste of living like a local for a couple of days at least and have our own space so loved the idea of renting somewhere right on the beach. My sister, a Cape Town regular, recommended the small, surfy beach town of Kommetjie (Komm-uh-kee) about an hour outside of central Cape Town as a place to base ourselves and the beach house we ended up renting really was a dream. I found it via Perfect Hideaways, an amazing resource for renting be ..read more

  I was last in South Africa aged fifteen with my family so needless to say, the country’s beautiful wine country and vino it produced was kind of lost on me. While I was just entering that phase of life where you’re continually trying to smuggle a Smirnoff Ice, I was most definitely not yet old enough to appreciate a really good Sauvignon. So when Faithfull the Brand, as you know one of my favourite go-to labels for holidays, asked me to go to South Africa to shoot their new collection for them, I knew I had to tie-in a trip Franschhoek, a world-renowned wine region less than two hours ..read more

Frosty mornings and multiple layers can really take their toll on your wardrobe. It can be hard not to end up melting into the sea of other people shuffling around in various shades of black, brown and bobbly scarfs. Goes without saying winter is 10 times harder to show some personality when you get dressed but it’s by no means impossible. Don’t be wrong, I love to shuffle around in a big, black parka and beanie myself while walking the dog and running errands, but too much time in my beloved ugg boots and hoodies can end up making me feel like something of a sloth. So I feel like I have some ..read more
