Mooching around for Shibori shawls, I visited a site I hadn’t been onto for a while: Artful Home. Pleased to see it still up and in working order, I was pleasantly reminded of all the fabulous designer/makers that display their wares here. There’s so much to look at for both home – especially if, like […]
MoreI’ve been reading a little about Israeli designer, Kedem Sassoon, this past week and, looking him up on Google, I like his style. With a plus-size wife, he apparently designs with her in mind and what’s not for the rest of us plus-size peeps to like about that? Sadly, his own website seems a little […]
MoreLocked in my bedroom by lift malfunction for the past couple of days, frozen by the persistent cold weather we are having, I have blown off some frustration looking at lots of Fall 2013 Youtube videos. Love the collection by Mary Katrantzou for its’ synchronicity of fashion and art. The shapes are architectural and the […]
MoreMy life is over. I am seriously beginning to look at these slippers – velcro and all – and think, “Ooh … comfy … I want.” £55! Against £2000 for my painful bespoke shoes. If you are going to have no style, better to pay a lot less for it, no? Mentioned it to D. […]

Finally, a demystifying of the process… My inability to find well-designed footwear for my swollen feet is a subject I have come back to again and again. My one attempt at a bespoke […]
MoreQuick newsflash if you’re anywhere near The Business Design Centre, Islington, London, over 20-24 March 2013 – that’s this weekend. Habibe is selling existing and new designs at The Country Living Spring Fair so, if you like her style, make the trip, take a look, have a chat and buy/order from her. Habibe-London is her […]
MoreReading Saturday’s How To Spend It – like I need the help, right? – magazine from the FT, there was mention of jewellery by Grazia Vozza, a shop on the island of Capri. Googled it. Love it. Especially the earrings above … so me … but from the 2012 range sold by Bergdorf’s so probably […]
MoreBrowsing one of my favourite interiors magazines this week, Elle Decor I think it was, I snapped this picture because I love, love, love this top, the trousers, the shoes. It is so how I see me in my mind’s eye still. Isn’t the fabric, design and colour of the top just too divine? And […]
