We have just been lucky enough to take, what feels like, a sabbatical from our two year old son. The destination was the island of Bali in south east asia and we were hosted by the luxurious boutique hotel group Alila Hotels and Resorts. T-rex was conceived in Bali and so it was quite poignant that we were able to make our first long haul ‘parent escape’ back to this
I’m getting quite good at this selfie business aren’t I?(!!!?) I just need to learn how to do photoshop so I don’t have weird pipes sticking out of the top of my arm. Anyway, I am so excited to see these multicoloured faux-fur coats in at the moment because I bought mine last year at a market in Valencia and I love it! It’s the one good reason for cold dreary
Just a quick little post and some pics on this cute area in Singapore. If you want a bit of 1930’s Asia, art deco architecture, cool cafes and bookshops plus a colonial style bar, then come to Tiong Bahru. I’m not saying it’s outstanding – it’s a quiet residential area but for me it’s a reminder of the old Singapore that I grew up in. It has enough to keep
T-Rex’s little package from Postcards Home was timely as I have just moved him into his big bed. Having some new pyjamas and a cute pillow was the perfect addition to his settling in. I found Postcards Home on Instagram and have been obsessed ever since. It epitomises my ideas of shopping and travel, bringing back something that you love and you know, will look amazing in your home. It is a
It hasn’t ever really been on my agenda to give advice on this blog, I’m more about ideas on stylish accommodation and fashion. When it comes to holidaying with kids, I am a big believer in just giving it a go and learning what works for you. Recently, however, I have had a few people ask me for tips on how we have gone about our travels with T-Rex. I am
I recently bought two new denim skirts which I wouldn’t normally do in winter. I always associate denim skirts with summer but I’m sick to death of my jeans and leggings already so thought it was time to get a bit more creative. I like a denim skirt with tights and trainers or an ankle boot works well. I personally think long boots look better with longer skirts as opposed to shorter or knee length
There are two VIPs (very important pigs) down in Hampshire. One has its very own theme park and is of large pink cartoon proportions – yes that’s you Peppa Pig World. The other is a country hotel – The Pig – serving up delicious food to tired guests who might have spent the day visiting our wonderful Peppa. Friendly Hampshire Pig Sometimes you just have to do things that will make your kids happy. I was dreading
Ok, sorry I might have oversold you on that title – I think I’m having a midlife crisis early and am under the grand illusion that I am a rock chick. Clearly I am not. I was asked to be a godparent this weekend and so I decided to wear (shock horror) JEANS to the ceremony. Actually it was a naming ceremony so it wasn’t in a church and therefore slightly more
A couple of months ago, The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel in Suffolk invited me to spend a day trying out their facilities and a couple of their spa treatments. It was a hard decision but I obliged. Can I just say I LOVE SPAS!!! I know everyone does but I think I am obsessed. I have been told my bathroom looks like a spa – it did before a token
I decided that we had probably reached the limits of T-Rex’s age 6-9 month sleepsuits (he is almost 2) and it was time to invest in some new sleepwear. The reason I have been holding off is because most of his sleepsuits are zip- ups which I bought last year from Bonds in Australia. Popper sleepsuits should be banned – they are the most difficult things to try and do up when you
