How are we all going on our new year’s resolutions? Great? Smashing it? Totally failing?! Yep That’s me.
Every year I have a resolution to drink more water. Every year I fail. I just forget. I have too many things to remember to also get up seven times during the day to refill my glass.
The evenings have drawn in and the weather is showing us all kinds of damp and grey, winter isn’t coming, it’s already here!
At this time of year I have to force myself outside and only then, when truly necessary. I love a lazy lay-about and cosy time at home, but it can be so easily sapped by social media, devices and a general continuation of the hectic ways of day-to-day life.
Shopping for statement pieces is fun, sure. But what really floats my boat is when I buy things I know I will wear on almost a daily basis. My uniform, if you will. Even more so since having my second baby, fashion has become something that is all about making it easy to get dressed in the morning.
Recently I’ve been growing an obsession for black wall lights. I have just moved house into a very different place from my last one, and in our new home there are more period features and opportunities for picture walls. This is very exciting, but I have been looking for ways to introduce lighting on the walls alongside artwork or as a feature on itself.
I’m not sure, but I think my parents might have had an inkling of my future career when I announced at the age of 8 that I wanted a bamboo hanging chair for my birthday. Like all great parents of a strong minded 8 year old girl they gave in and my Mum only just got rid of it two years ago… Damn how I wish I had stopped her because the latest trend in interior furniture is all about rattan and bamboo.
