Spring is nearly here!






As a lover of all kitchen and food related objects Whittard of Chelsea is without a doubt one of my favourite Shops out there, (and also a former employee of mine!) I loved going to work there and sampling all of their fine teas and coffees! I have just looked at their new ceramics and their delicious Easter range and must say Iam very impressed I love the sweetheart and lady bird range and their confectionary choice is wonderful, I cant wait to start buying all the delicious Easter treats on offer!!

Old Skool!!!



Looking for a watch for myself I came across this old favourite, Iam so excited because I used to have a flik flak watch and Looking at them now I noticed that they have lost none of the originality or excitment of when I was 4 year old. Being quite partial to multi and bright colours I find this strap very pleasing to the eye and I love the tutti fruities!!! I will be placing an order for my (nearly) 3 year olds Birthday!

With Project Valentine well and truly underway... I have found these unique salt and pepper cells designed by New Yorker Alberto Mantilla, I think These are a good place start on my hunt for the perfect Valentine's Gift for 'Him at home!' Together they make Ying and Yang...arrrr how sweet! They are available from Zest Gourmet. and cost $28 (around £14)

doooo wooop!


This little retro gem is not only a fab 80's inspired purse but it also has a speaker you can attach to your MP3 player...How cool is that...Such a great idea for those Girly beach holidays...oh mental note... they went out the window 3 years ago when I had Daughter number 1.... None the less I would be the Hippest Mama at Tumble Tots with one of these! It is also a snip at just £10...woooohooo!!!! I found it at www.lunacyboutique.co.uk.

Along with this stunning 'Sybil' Art deco themed necklace, This is an exclusive to Lunacy boutique and costs £55.

And of course I had to add a picture of their Shabby chic (and red pom pom!!!) Mushroom purse - I cant get enough of the colour clash and with its devine Vintage print I think I may have to add it to my wish list... it costs £13.50.

There is good news :) and there is bad news:(

Handprinted Paisley merino wool cardigan...so chic!...And they make them in Lil' Gal sizes too...so Me and the girls could get the same!!!
Green Burmuda Shorts...I wish they would stop using my body for all these advertising campaigns it so exhausting...*sigh*!!!
Oh I would love to place my make up bag and mobile phone neatly in here, rather than stuff an sicky muslin square and a half eaten cereal bar into the bottom of my bag only to be found in tiny crumbs 3 weeks later!
Gorgeous...the Pom Pom theme seems to be quite strong at the moment! Love the colour for the summer!
I love these Elegant heels with the turquiose bow detail.

Good Lord...I have died and gone to heaven...Well J Crew at least, As if finding the most adorable Children's shoes at pediped was not enough, I have found somewhere that sells matching for Me and the Girls...I have just found the most phenominal range of women's shoes, bags, knitwear and those gorgeous green Burmuda shorts...D
The down side is they do not deliver to the UK Yet...BOOOHOOO, Although I have just joined the queue -there is a contact button so that they will notify me when they start international shipping! YAY!

Rebel Rebel...



As a avid user of all things Benefit, Iam intrigued by the new 'You Rebel Lite' I have been using the standard 'You Rebel' for years. I have been told I look like I have been Tangoed when it is first applied but it does soak in to the skin to become a great glowing base, I think I will stick to my radoactive glow for the time being...its my comfort zone! But I may have to invest in some of its lighter little sister for the days when I need extra SPF coverage as the original 'You rebel' can only be applied sparingly!...perhaps I will mix the two!
This is their new face high lighter although Iam quite happy with my 'Moon Beam and High beam' I am quite tempted to try this new pearlescent stick ... As always benefit get 10/10 for packaging and presentation...Just like this sexy little pink face powder...It will certainly be on my valentine wishlist...

Shooozy wooozies....




Oh Dear..I just stumbled across (like what I did there?) the most glorious shoes for my (no where near walking yet) baby girl, I adore the new range by pediped, I dont know how easy they are to get in th UK or their shipping costs but they are absoluty exquisite! and at a reasonable $30 a pair (£15)...I only have to wait until 28th Feburary for their release date!...plenty of time to Butter up 'Him at home!'

<3 I love My 'Omlet 'Eglu! <3


I love my 'Omlet' Eglu; we keep 2 chickens (Higgle and Dora...you'd never guess they were named by a 2 year old would you!) I think the best thing about these glorious Chicken houses is that they are sooooo low maintence, and they come in the most amazing colours (there is even a pink option!) We have this green one as it matches our seaside inspired shed and fence panels which have been painted stripy in Green and dusty blue.
On average we are getting 11 organic free range eggs a week.... I am sure the novelty will wear off soon but at the moment Iam savouring the devine soft poached eggs for breakfast.
Prices start from £360 (without chickens!)

Oh My GAWWWWDDD!

Petunia Picklebottom Boxy Changing Bag....
This is sooooo the way forward if your wanting to be the most glam mother ever!!! It is not only the most Scrumptious Changing bag ever ,but it also has a range of matching totes and other luggage in the same devine prints...How cool is that? This is serious Nappy bag envy! It costs $158. (roughly £79)

They may look like adult toys... but they are actually night lights!


These are just toooooo cute...They are such a great idea for parents of Little people... I know my 2 year old will go crazy for these night lights from Candeloo Candles. The colours are great and the shapes are wonderful, I found them at Mirengue Boutique.
Candela Night lights are $55 for a set of two. And the best bit is that they are Rechargable so You dont have to worry about changing batteries...Genius!

Pom pommery!


I am soooo appriciating Nicky Grace's website with all their fabulously Vintage pickings, They have adorable knitwear for children and Babies and vintage inspired soft furnishings, I am really feeling the cushion selection...I love shabby chic and would love to have a really girly play room with gorgeous things like this in it and maybe this rug /bathmat from Bombay duck while Iam in pom pom mode! ....

Mental note ...Invite the Neighbours around for a drink!




I found these wonderful personalised hostess trays at Iomoi, I just adore the idea of the Anchor and crown and you can choose from a wonderful selection of patterns and even change the font - so it looks extra posh! At $100 (Roughly $50) each they are certainly a splurge but then again who wouldn't want to entertain with one of these!...The best thing for me is that you could almost get away with one of these as a valentines gift for 'him at home' and still get the pleasure of using it yourself!!!
