Fashion: time for sunshine Add a pop of colour to your Winter wardrobe with this watch from Alessi. Interiors: A roller coaster ride… Literally While this space is usually reserved for a the something special we find during the week, we couldn’t ignore this genius way of showing a house – courtesy of a very…
Read MoreHow to raise a glass in style this Christmas
This time of year we all want to be the great entertainer, but what are the staple things we all look out for at a party? Alcohol. Let’s not even try and lie about the situation – December is for indulgence and try as we might, we always end up eating and drinking far too…
Read MoreBinned boxes
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure – in this case, it’s very true. As David was throwing away some rubbish in to the bins as he left the office one chilly evening last week, he came across this wooden wine box quietly balancing on top of some bin bags… Immediately adopting it we were…

Fashion: the perfect Winter boot We’re loving these Halyard Boots from Sebago – stylish and practical, if there’s any boot we’re wanting this Winter, it’s these! Interiors: pretty pots Meet the new stationary from Silkie LLoyd – isn’t it cute? Available in 5 designs, the pots are ideal for adding those extra details to your home…
Read MoreGet your baubles out
What comes to mind when it comes to dressing a Christmas tree? Those baubles out of the storage box (keeping in mind one is always broken), candy canes and the tired looking angel at the top. Yup, Christmas is predictable, but we’re not saying there’s anything wrong with a little bit of nostalgia. We just…
Read MoreFather Twistmas
When big Christmas trees don’t fit in to small London flats and flashy decorations are out of the budget, it’s time to think of some alternative ways to bring the festive season in to the home so we’ve found some great little twists… A Poinsettia, with it’s red and green leaves, make for the perfect…

Designers such as Eleanor Bolton, Silken Favours and Katherine Pont will be selling and it’s a great time to pick up some fab Christmas goodies. Only a £1 to get in (and with that you get…
Read MoreSpringing forward with Urban Outfitters
With Christmas just a few weeks away, we’re not unfamiliar with the fact that brands are already thinking about Spring Summer 2015. It seems a little weird to be thinking about summer products in December, but it’s not as weird as the infamous ‘Christmas in July’. We were recently invited to Urban Outfitters SS15 Press…
Read MoreGetting streetwise…
If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know we *love* a freebie. So, when David spotted this quaint little coffee table on the side of the road in Notting Hill we were over the moon. Having had buying one on our mind for a while, we thought this must have been fate! However, being the cheapskates…

Fashion: get organised We’re loving these portable organisers from Knomo, ideal for taking to a meeting and keeping your life in check! Interiors: noted. Everyone loves a notebook, and these from Tom Pigeon are rather swish! Food: or more so where you put it… How novel are these Christmas pudding bin bags? Amazing!…
Read MoreA touch of theatrics
David’s mum is rather good at this one – bringing theatrics in to the home. David recently was pondering what he’d do if he had infinite money for homewares, Mark’s answer was one of worry and doubt… “our flat would turn in to your mum’s house”, he cheekily said. However, he’s right. At David’s mums,…
Read MorePutting some funk in our trunk…
You may remember we found a cute little trunk on Gumtree a while back? You know, the horrid black painted number with the weird Chinese Dragon? Anyway, we’ve finally got around to giving this little piece a lick of paint and a complete makeover. Over the past month of being in the flat, the trunk…

Fashion: Miss Janet, if you’re nasty… Mark is a HUGE fan of Janet Jackson so you can imagine the hysteria when we were introduced to Ted’s Draws, in particular this tee. There is, however, David having a tantrum in the corner because there is also his ideal t-shirt – his spirit animal, miss Wednesday Addams…
