ad Who else could make summer dressing more joyful than @cathkidston? Ditsy florals, vintage shapes that echo some of my favourite thrifted blouses, doily-like-collars and hand drawn prints with stories threaded through in their careful detail. No bud, petal or stem is spared from a new piece here. Although admittedly I am not the most green fingered, if repotting, watering and tidying up the garden can be an excuse to parade in my favourite summer pieces from one of my favourite brands, then maybe my garden has some glimmers after all... 📽️: @wishwishwish

Hello, hello!!! It’s another kitchen renovation

Hello, hello!!! It’s another kitchen renovation series nobody asked for but regrettably, my chat is currently limited to kitchen cupboards, the new CMAT song and how good The Ballad of Wallis Island is- so for now, it’s a video on the former which I hope is okay.

Having never done any work on a house other than paint a wall, which felt so momentous I joked about starting a painting company with @gemmakatie (never ask us the name of it please)- I quite naively didn’t realise anything that it would actually entail (despite forever having my nose in a home reno reel/carousel on Instagram- forgive me!) so it’s been a WEEK of dust, walls coming down and not realising quite how much there was to think about (thankfully we have employed the help of my amazing amazing friend @s.latham_interiors who is nothing short of wonderful when it comes to interiors, which has helped tenfold- we would be lost without this woman!!)

Anyway! Because it’s nice to have these things to look back on, and oversharing/being nosey is my professional forte- I thought I’d try and document everything as we go. I’ve got inspiration coming out of my ears (I’ll tag all of the accounts below that featured in this briefly) and am very excited, so stay tuned!

ad Where pretty meets practical, the frothy meets the functional and everything in the new Per Una at @marksandspencer collection means I can have my billowing bohemian summer whilst also still doing the nursery run or grabbing a pint of milk. A collection that marries dreaminess and ‘70s detailing whilst also acknowledging that while most of us do have days
picnicking in parks and frolicking in fields (mentally, at least); have a lot of the everyday to tend to too- and truly, why not feel wonderful doing both? #MyMarks 📽️: @beatricerigby

I know I'm a tiiiiny bit late off of the mark with this (does anything say unorganised parent like a guide to things to do over half term halfway through half term??) BUT incase you needed some ideas (which I promise are fully useable and do-able outside of this one intergral week) then I've popped together a bit of a mammoth post (with a link in my bio/on stories) with some of mine, and little A's favourite things to do in and around London. I've absolutely unintentionally missed out things here so please feel free to virtually shout any gaps at me, but hopefully it might be helpful! I've categorised it by weather because living in the UK, that's what I'm best at! As I mention in the piece, I think it’s always worth saying that often the free things are the most satisfying and important. You don’t need to spend a penny to have quality time together (even if your imagination for made up games can sometimes wane like mine) and the most cherished times are often those sat on a park bench with soggy wellies and slightly damp sandwiches. So try to take the pressure off if you can too. I haven’t made any grand plans (even reading through some of my suggestions made me think ‘Liv, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER WOMAN’) so see these as some gentle ideas you can take for now, and save for later too. For rainy days, and far far beyond. Enjoy 🌞
