Aww, Happy Valentines Day everyone! I thought that I would celebrate this lovely day with one of the sweetest weddings ever from 100 Layer Cake! Ruth and Ed’s beautiful Maine wedding is beyond perfect, it’s so full of love (I’m a little smitten with the giant heart balloons!!) and happy moments, it’s been styled to perfection with the softest of pastels, the brightest of colours and of course the most incredible barn reception ever – it’s truly divine! I hope that everyone is has a wonderful Valentines Day and you’re spoilt rotten by your loved one! xo

Oh my, does everyone else agree that every Wednesday should be a public holiday, I hope that everyone had a wonderful day off yesterday with their friends and family – the weather was far too perfect for words! I’d like to introduce you Alice Stephenson, she is the very proud (and lucky) owner of this stunning apartment, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it in the latest issue of Adore - isn’t her home beyond amazing?! I’d love to decorate our home like this one day, it’s so colourful, cheerful and inviting! Alice styled her lovely new abode with the help of her sister-in-law Claudia Stephenson and was beautiful photographed by her good friend Hannah Blackmore - I love how there are so many wonderful pops of bright pinks, oranges, patterns and textures, it’s styling at it’s very best! You can read more about Alice’s beautiful apartment on page 130 in the latest issue of Adore! x

Oh, Happy Friday everyone from today it’s officially the summer holidays and Christmas is only a few exciting sleeps away! Is anyone else still franticly trying to organise everything for the holidays, I hope that this lovely collection of pretty pink Christmas ideas from the wonderfully talented Fete Press will help – is anyone else a little in love with the idea of a neutral Christmas with pops of bright pink?! I love how homemade and personal everything feels, and that by adding simple thoughtful detail (like oh so cute washi tape around cutlery and pompom place cards!!) can be all you need to help make your Christmas celebration that little more festive. x
