White haven

Images - Beach Studios

Isn't this place amazing? I love the combination of the pure white with the sun-bleached wood - no wonder it's called the Boat House. Check out Atlanta Bartlett's fabulous website Beach Studios If you're a fan of the interiors I feature on Love from Carrie you'll be in heaven. And...the best news is that you can hire them as locations. CXX

Bathtime bliss

I've slipped back into my old habit of not writing enough!! I found this dreamy bathroom on My Lovely Four Seasons and thought it was just gorgeous. I have three of knitted baskets like the one beside the tub - they're fabulous Cx

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 ♥

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...

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

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
