Christmas gift guide

Christmas Gift Guide according to lovetomtom  Ok so the title may be a bit misleading. Yes this is a Christmas guide but you're not going to find Santa here. This time of year can be a rather odd time. Everything is so sparkly, people seem to be extra busy and there is the added pressure … Continue reading Christmas gift guide

Rain, horses and afternoon tea

It has been an eventful week here and I have been fortunate enough to go to some fun events. Even more fun is dressing for them. Some of you may already know what I've been up to if you follow me on Twitter and Facebook but let's just say I have been exploring what Dublin has to … Continue reading Rain, horses and afternoon tea

Scrapbook

This weekend for me is about work (and a bit of play) so while I'm working away, here are some pictures that you may have seen before , some that you may have missed and some that didn't make the cut (but are still close to my heart). Enjoy!             … Continue reading Scrapbook

Apple and raisin sponge

It's a bright crisp day here, my favourite kind of day in autumn. With a chill in the air there is only one way to warm the house (and fill my belly); baking! My apron is on, I've scoured the cupboards for inspiration and today I'm making apple sponge. Food should not only taste good but also look good, however … Continue reading Apple and raisin sponge

The world of skincare

The world of skincare according to lovetomtom Since the recent additions to my wardrobe (see 'My kind of luxury') I've had nothing but luxury on the brian.  Makeup and more recently skincare falls into that catergory and to tell you the truth I didn't always see it that way. The world of skincare can at times be daunting. … Continue reading The world of skincare

My kind of luxury

The past week or so I've added two very special pieces to my wardrobe. Pieces that to me are pure luxury. Luxury, like jewels (see How do you wear yours?) doesn't necessarily imply wealth or richness. I like to think of it more as an indulgence in some way and these are my indulgence! When I saw … Continue reading My kind of luxury

Boooo to winter!

You guessed it, I'm not a fan of winter so before the dark days seep into my skin I thought I would share some of my winter favourites. For those of you on the other side of the world enjoying blue skies and long days, spare a thought for those trying to stay warm by a fire with … Continue reading Boooo to winter!

Is it really that bad?

Yes is the answer to that question, it is that bad! I am speaking of my bathroom. The most detested room of my house. It has taken me almost 3 years to find a way to make it, well less ugly and still to this day I'm not sure I've succeeded. As I rent I am limited … Continue reading Is it really that bad?

What! You want to take my picture?

  My trip to New York is seeming more a distant memory rather than a recent adventure but thankfully I have enough inspiration and goodies to keep me going. This has sparked my next project. I'm hitting the streets of Dublin and looking for inspiration a little closer to home. So if you me see don't … Continue reading What! You want to take my picture?
