A freelance Editor and Blogger, Harriet has a slightly irrational love for detective fiction and can often be found getting caught up in the somewhat tame tales of Miss Marple or watching Midsomer Murders on a Sunday afternoon. A country girl at heart, she loves nothing more than whiling away an hour or two in a coffee shop reading a good book, feeling inspired by street style and pinning to her heart’s content on Pinterest. If she’s not out walking her beautiful Sprocker Spaniel, Hallie, then you’ll probably find her rummaging for vintage fashion finds at the local charity shop or car boot sale!
