Lavender hearts

Just a quick Sunday evening post to share these lovely lavender hearts. I was given a couple for my birthday last week and they're just gorgeous, I've put mine on hangers and my wardrobe is now scented with sweet lavender. You can buy them online at Retreat Home along with lots of other tempting things! Love Carrie xx

Birthday love ♥

Images - Peonies and Polaroids

The countdown to my birthday has started and I'm terrified! Sorry that I haven't posted for ages - it's been pretty busy here in London! To make it up I found Peonies and Polaroids via Marley and Lockyer - the most lovely photographs for celebrating Spring (and Birthdays!!). Enjoy and I promise I won't leave it this long next time!

I would do my potting here...

Spring is on the way and I spent most of Saturday gardening. I love seeing the bulbs coming through and can't wait to see the daffodils, hyacinths and tulips that we planted back in the autumn. It was a lovely sunny day today - Spring makes everything seem so much more positive! I always forget how much I love being in gardens, living in central London I don't have my own so rely on being in my mum's, my lovely boyfriend's out in the countryside or one of the beautiful parks in London. This blog is me dreaming if I were to have my own... C XX

Happy belated Valentine's Day! I've been in New York for the weekend which is why I haven't posted for a while. But thought I'd do a bit of a themed post all the same... I love Valentine's Day, a great chance to spoil anyone you love (and yourself!). C XX

Love your walls...

I found this wallpaper on one of my favourite blogs, An angel at my table, and just loved it. These would look great on a feature wall or as drawer lining! CXX  

Dreamy places to blog...

Lovely Springtime ♥

All images - Herz-allerliebst

Aren't these the most stunning shots? I stumbled upon Herz-allerliebst and had to share! The dusty pink roses at the top are my absolute favourite. These images make me hope that spring is just around the corner despite all the snow! Check out the other amazing shots via the link above. C XX

♡ Long Island iced tea

This is fantasy bridal party for Mell idea number three.... sipping iced tea on Long Island. Mmmmmmmmmmm. The image above is Tricia Foley's Long Island pad. I can feel the sunshine just looking at it - especially since we're completely snowed in back in London! C XX

♥ Girls' night in ♥

Snow is falling outside the window as I write this blog. A thick white blanket has covered central London - it's so beautiful - but soooo cold, so I decided to hibernate away from the cold this afternoon! This weekend was lovely - I spent yesterday baking cupcakes for a girls' night in at my sister's. They were divine - so sweet to look at with butter icing and baby pink edible glitter from Daisy Cakes Bake Shop - a frothy pink piece of heaven in Greenwich Market. Maybe I'll make cupcakes for a living one day... Also had tea with my friend Lucy in Primrose Hill, such a pretty place, nearly as many pink buildings as Portobello Road! Then this eveing I finally got round to organising my wardrobe following my cupboard love inspiration! I have to say it's looking all neat and tidy now - with lovely labelled Nostalgisk boxes from Ikea - I think I know where everything is..... C XX

silje-sin

I found the most lovely new blog this evening - Silje-Sin, full of such gorgeous photographs - a new favourite! I've also found Daisy Pink Cupcake which is just fabulous! I'm fed up with January and can't wait until it's over! So thought I'd find some nice images to welcome February in! C XX

☆ Birthday season!

Images - Sia

I can't believe how many birthdays there are in January! It's my sister's boyfriend's birthday at the weekend so I've offered to host a birthday lunch and plan to give him the whole birthday treatment - sparklers et al! The White Company do the most gorgeous mini indoor sparklers which we had at new year...

♡ Chillax with bridal option two..

Mmmmmmmm, Puro Beach... Lounging in the sun in the daytime and girly chat over mojitos in the evening - dancing the night away to the rhythm of Puro Beach. Step on a plane in rainy London and awaken in the mediterranean sunshine.

A hen-do from heaven...

Image - Bamford

Image - Daylesford Organic

I've been given the very important task of planning one of my best friend's hen-do in April. So, what are our options? Thought it might be fun to dream... 

OK option one is a visit to the Haybarn Spa at Daylesford Organic. I have to admit I've been dying to write about Daylesford Organic again! The spa at Daylesford has everything from yoga classes to a two hour relaxation treatment - just the thing to calm those pre-wedding stresses and strains! And after all those treatments what better to wrap yourself in than some Bamford cashmere? 

Restful white ♡

Images - Slettvoll

I've been away with work for the last week so haven't had a chance to add to my blog. It's Sunday evening so I thought I'd end the week on some more white sitting rooms - these shots are by Slettvoll - aren't they just divine? You could spend the most perfect Sunday afternoon perched on one of these immaculate white sofas with a throw draped over you....mmmmmm. C XX PS. I'm a week into this blog now - I'd love to hear what you think of it and what you'd like to see more of.

Just a quick one this evening as I have an early start tomorrow. The shot pictured here is Marrakech's Dar Seven, and this is called The White Room. Looks like the perfect place to kick back and relax! Enjoy! Cxx

Laundry love

I would happily do my laundry all day long if my laundry room looked like this... Cxx
