What I want most

Yes, this is a unabashed materialistic post, but having just clapped eyes on Preen by Thornton Bregazzi’s pre-fall frocks, I’m quite literally salivating. Is it wrong to will on *winter? I think not.… Read More

Finding peace

Peace can exist only in the present moment. It is ridiculous to say “Wait until I finish this, then I will be free to live in peace.” What is “this”? A diploma, a… Read More

This weekend: The Vintage Event double whammy

Rumoured to be the warmest days of the year so far*, this weekend brings more than just sunshine – it sees the return of The Vintage Event on both Saturday and Sunday. On… Read More

It ain’t all about eggs

Thank you Easter Bunny, for a gift that’s become the soundtrack to my weekend.

A life led less seriously

I found myself toe-tapping and wishing I’d worn a cocktail dress on my commute today. Why? The Dick Tracy soundtrack and in particular, Madonna’s madcap ‘More’ which catapulted me back to my yesteryears… Read More

In the nick of time

I’ve been wanting to see Juergen Teller’s Woo! exhibition for longer than I can remember. I finally made my way over there last Saturday, on the show’s penultimate day. When I got there I was… Read More

A look to love

  Socks & stilettos. Need I say more?

“A copper. How do ya like that, boys? A copper.”

In a bid to keep the weight off after being ill, and of course, to keep fit, one of the things I’ve found myself partaking in lately is a ‘lunchtime’ run. It enforces… Read More

In need of a name

A belated post of sorts yep, but I was lucky enough to be given this beautiful vintage record player as a Christmas gift. She was generously given to me by someone special whom… Read More

Breakfast of champions

Yesterday I took to the kitchen to recreate M1lk’s/Salad Days, Offal Nights Kurdish Baked Eggs. Daunting though the task felt – thanks to a gazillion ingredients and it being something entirely new –… Read More

Hey lovers, Hey haters

May today bring you sunshine, smiles and togetherness. Happy Valentine’s Day, tinkers x

Fresh outta the frying pan

Sunday morning. I’m hungry. The boy? ‘Hungry’ doesn’t even touch the sides. In order to satisfy our rumbling bellies, we headed to M1lk in Balham, the one-time greasy spoon ‘Bistro’ which I’d tried,… Read More

“Sometimes love isn’t firecrackers, sometimes love just comes softly”

The focus of my recent admiration has been well and truly honed in on one brand and hush now, don’t tell anyone, please, but it’s a wedding brand – The Lane. It’s their… Read More

To new beginnings

This post happens to feature one of many firsts: the first of the year; the first published (or at least, written) from my phone; and the first created using wifi – and at… Read More

Love to one and all

It’d be fair to say that the last couple of weeks have been testing. I’m hesitant to say “rough” but little things known as ‘challenges’ have come thick and fast. Perhaps it’s my… Read More

It’s the grand finale: Bakemas day 12

The great bake has reached its pinnacle! 12 whole days of indulgent treats have passed and it’s fair to say that our belts are now being fastening a little looser. Ahem. Bringing The… Read More

Bakemas has not been forgotten…

…merely its coverage paused due to illness; yuck. Here’s what been happening in the Eco Office while I’ve been away (I think – no, I know -  I’ve been sorely missing out). Day… Read More

The 12 Days of Bakemas – we’re half way there

Following on from yesterday, Charlotte,  the Eco Office’s PR Guru, crafted Pesto Palmiers (much neater than mine, I must say). Lilly, our buying assistant extraordinaire, whipped up festive-hued “I Have No Ideas” – we… Read More

Bakemas – Day 5

As we march towards the half-way mark of The 12 Days of Bakemas, today saw Zoe and Yours Truly as the girls with the goods. Zoe went for a savoury number – homemade… Read More
