We thought about time so differently growing up. We would wish our lives away waiting for that birthday party, that holiday, or that Christmas for that present. We would be wishing we were older too. Old enough to buy makeup, to vote, to buy alcohol or be able to go out and party. I always...Read More
I remember writing a post last year just before I turned 29, all about the prospect of turning 30. It feels as though that year has gone terribly quickly and before I know it, I’ll soon be 30. It seems such a milestone, doesn’t it? The big 3.0. Growing up, it always seemed like such...Read More
I’ve spoken before about my love for second hand. Those preloved items someone else no longer wants that catches your eye. With the undeniable facts surrounding materialism and the devastation over-consumerism is having on our planet, the demand for vintage is on the rise.

You may have been given a pretty pendant for your 18th birthday, or perhaps a special gold ring for your 21st. Then, as we get older, priceless items may be handed down to us – brooches, engraved bracelets or well-worn watches that fittingly show their age.

Sentimentality is such an evocative feeling and yet, I don’t think we truly experience it until we grow older. As children, we often lack the empathy to really appreciate memories and belongings – we may miss our favourite forgotten toy but it rarely goes deeper than a few tears before we become attached to another...Read More
I always look forward to bank holidays – not because the Sunday night dread is removed (although that is pretty nice), or because working a four-day week brings the next weekend that little bit closer, or even because you get an extra lie in, but because of the good old British car boot sale. As...Read More
We’re all too familiar with the saying, time flies when you’re having fun. Throughout my childhood, it was a phrase used much more frequently as I sat longing for the summer holidays to last just one more week, or wishing that the school disco didn’t have to end on the dot at 9pm.
