Today we’re picking up the keys, potentially arguing with our delivery driver and breaking our backs moving boxes.
Tomorrow we’ll fill you in on how it all went but for now wish us luck and look out Tooting Broadway – we’re coming!

#gifted | Ever since we moved into our flat, our spare bedroom has been a bit of a no-man’s land. It’s where we hang our washing and store bits and bobs. Fed up with giving the few guests we’ve had to stay eyemasks to sleep in, it was time to get some blinds. Enter @couture_living, who we’ve worked with to create a room that’s less spare and more special. Head to our bio link and check out our latest blog to get the scoop on Couture Living and their vast collection of fabrics - including how we picked the blinds we wanted and how simple they make it. Now, form an orderly queue, houseguests…

Happy Sunday fine folk! We’ve been busy styling an exciting partnership today in the spare bedroom (stay tuned) and are now cracking on with some blogging 💪🏼. After some time falling a little out of love with writing we feel like we’re getting our blogging mojo back 👊🏼. Big blog energy you could say. Anyone else find this?

In other news, we wanted to share our new prints we’ve put up from Scandi design brand @kunskapstavlandesign [gifted]. We went for these sweet monochrome star sign prints which look super cute in our bedroom reading nook. The plan is to fill this corner with plenty more black and white pieces so holla and tag any brands if you have any other good recommendations of companies who do cool prints, we’d love to know!

About not last night but the night before 🥂🥴
.
We MAY have been nursing a mild hangover yesterday. Why? Well it was the @amaraibas silly and there was plenty of booze and teeny tiny beef wellington canapés that were absolutely delightful but a canapé does not a meal make. So sore heads we’re on the menu instead. Alas, it was a really fun night and so nice to catch-up with our fellow party people @the_colour_file @alisonaddingstyle @fabricofmylife @swoonworthyblog @borealabode @msginevrab @amylouisecutmore @theababingtonstittjourno @lovetherevision @tjedoyle @welovehomeblog @decorbydelali @thatssogemma @lifeofaninteriorstylist @woodyjen @pureprlondon @thecrapflat @almost_everything_off_ebay and anyone else who we had a Prosecco-fuelled gab with and can’t remember, it was great to see everyone and meet some new faces too!
.
Also, huge congrats to all the winners including @paperthinmoon and @_soonafternoon_ who won the Best Newcomer category which we had lots of fun judging! Well deserved winners and blogs which everyone should check out.
.
Thanks Amara for the gorge evening!

Happy @amaraibas day everyone! 🎉

We can’t wait to see who nabs the trophies for all their amazing blogs tonight. Here’s a little throwback to a few months ago when we judged the Best Newcomer category with @borealabode. There are some seriously amazing content creators out there bursting on to the scene so keep yours eyes peeled for some killer blogs.
.
Right, now time to choose our frocks and wash our locks for tonight’s award ceremony. Head to our Insta story if you fancy seeing some drunken antics later on 🥂🥴

Let’s talk Pinterest📍
We won’t lie, we’re pretty shit pinners. We go through stages - suddenly we’ll have an influx of pins from our blog and we’ll create lots of boards and get addicted to the Pinterest world, then we just give up and go back to binge watching The Good Place. Today we headed to the gorgeous @ennismore sessions house for a day of talks and discussions from @pinterestuk. From vision moodboarding with @thy.self (who are launching brother brand @thy.selfmen - holla 🙌🏼) to tips and tricks from @vixmeldrew and influencer insights from @thecameronlee, it was jam-packed with everything you need to know. When we heard @the_mothercooker and @be_lavie talk about how 40-60% of their blog traffic was from Pinterest we started to understand what all the fuss was about! So maybe we should get in on the act?
.
Do you pin? And if so, do you see a benefit?
.
Anymore hints and tricks would be hugely welcomed 💪🏼

ART ATTACK | we’re all about gallery walls at casa Forward Features. After getting over the fear of hammering into the wall, we’re now nail and hammer-happy and are slowly making our way around the flat gracing every wall with art.
.
Here’s our living room gallery wall. After a game of Tetris we finally landed on the perfect composition. But if you’re a little stuck on how to get started with hanging art in the home, head to our bio and click the link for our latest blog post. We’re sharing all our tips and tricks!

🚨 BASIC BITCH ALERT 🚨
.
As many of you know, we’ve been on the hunt for a rug for the living room since we moved in and it’s been tough to find something that’s right. Then the other week, the temperature dropped and whilst stuffing an Honest Burger down our throat and binge watching Sex & the City we knew we had to get something cosy underneath our tootsies asap. The result? THAT @laredoute_uk rug. We all know the one. However, now that it’s here we totally get why everyone has it. It looks nice, it’s a great size, it feels great AND it’s cheap as chips. Ideal!
.
Now come on, hands up if you have the rug. Or even better, what basic bitch interior product is lurking in your home? We won’t judge, promise 👀.

[AD GIFTED] BREAKFAST TIME 🥯☕️
Since moving we’ve been toaster-less and to be quite honest, it’s been leaving us feeling a little undercooked. But now mornings have been made much simpler with our shiny new @cuisinartuk toaster. And as well as that, we’ve upgraded our kettle too. Both of these are new style designs - we opted for the Frosted Pearl colourway, which goes perfectly with our kitchen but there’s also a Vintage Rose and Light Pistachio colour too! AND the kettle is proper whizzy. It’s got preset temperatures so depending on what tea you’re having, you can make sure you make the perfect brew. Ideal! Now pass the cream cheese, we’re making bagels.
