Happy Friday

I sometimes listen to classical music when I’m driving, it’s super relaxing and I feel a bit classy, even driving my 23 year old, much loved Mazda. Everyone should do it!

Illustrated beauty and the Art of Afternoon Tea

The other day I spotted Alexandra Nea, The Art of Afternoon Tea, a delightful space with gorgeously creative illustrations and delicious recipes. Alex is a fashion designer, collector of beautiful things, an illustrator of food, fashion, bridal and still life, and her work has been published in many high profile magazines and websites (who doesn’t love a bit of Downton Abbey-style[read more…]
