Before the dreaded move, those lovely folk at Houzz came to our Tooting flat for a peek around and a wee chat.

Trust No Bitch (or Letting Agents)
We’ve been slightly M.I.A lately, but as many of you know it’s because we’re packing up and heading off to some new digs. It’s no secret that we loved our little flat and when we received the news that we had to move we were gutted. However, all was not as it seemed.

Fashion: Percival for Traidremade We definitely support sustainable and ethical fashion, so when we came across this latest collaboration with fashion reuse charity Traid we couldn’t help but rave about it. Traid do some amazing work and support initiatives looking to spread the word on sustainability – much like their involvement with EMG. Their ethical clothing…

Greetings everyone! We write this with a cup of tea whilst sat at the kitchen table in our new flat with big smiles on our faces. Firstly, you’ll have to excuse us for the delay in posting – moving, unpacking, heading back to work and a lack of internet has meant that we haven’t been…

If you follow either of us on Twitter or Instagram (and if you don’t then why ever not – details here), then you’d probably have noticed that we have been up to our eyeballs in boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… and more boxes…. Once we had moved in to the flat we took much delight…

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! David & Mark x

Fashion: weekending Packing for Glasgow, David experienced the biggest annoyance for city getaways – his weekend bag zip broke. This got us searching for an ideal holdall. If you want to truly invest in a good quality weekend holdall then we’d suggest heading to Selfridges, Harvey Nichols or Liberty. If you are on a bit…

Two workstations have been introduced to us this week, one from Cult Furniture and another from Ikea. Both lovely, we had our sights set on the little orange number and were planning on buying it in September until we noticed this cutie. En route for cocktails with a friend, we were walking passed Oasis in…

En route back from a much needed power nap on Wandsworth Common we were deep in flat planning thoughts when we spotted a lonely lamp with a little disclaimer… Now, it’s not the most desirable of shades, however, David weirdly was mentioning how we needed to get a floor lamp for the new flat so…

On a sunny Saturday morning, we went to the estate agents to sort some admin out for the new flat. On the way we had to make a pit stop at Tooting Bec’s new addition Imperial Durbar for a much needed iced latte and pastry following a rather boozy Friday night with friends. The Imperial…

Fashion: Thicker than water We’re loving Lanvin‘s Autumn/Winter 2014 campaign. Take one amazing British model (Edie Campbell) and chuck in the rest of her family including mum Sophie Hicks, sister Olympia and grandmother Joan Campbell, plus some dapper gents (dad, grandfather, brother, and even Edie and Olympia’s boyfriend’s, Otis and Mateo), and you have yourself…
Read MoreThe search ends!
It’s so strange – when we started the blog back in April actually coming to look and find a flat seemed like a million miles away. We always said that when the beginning of August hit we’d begin the search to find the perfect abode and it just so happened that on Saturday we decided…

So after nine months of waiting and four months of blogging it was finally time to go on our first viewing – scary! With one appointment booked in and the best intentions of going to as many other as we could, we set off for Tooting Broadway early on Saturday morning. However, it didn’t quite…

Trying to find a sofa that’s right for you can be a long and expensive process. However, if you look hard enough, sometimes the sofa will find you. David spied a bit of a find on Freecycle (one of our favourite resources) which might just fit a temporary bill in our new flat. Originally from…
