Monday kitchen Interiors with HomeSense

With the Great British Bake off starting in two days time I thought I would do a little kitchen and baking inspired post for this Monday Interiors. As some of you may know I love to pick things up for a deal and we are very lucky to have a large HomeSense in Cardiff which stocks some amazing things for the home and really is like a treasure trove, you have to look through a fair amount but we never leave empty handed and have purchased many things from there over the years and they currently have some wonderful kitchen accessories in store. 1. Pink Oil Bottle £16.99 2. Marble chopping board £7.99 3. Striped tea towels £4.99 I really love all the pastel and soft hues paired up with that vintage look, such as the simple but stylish striped tea towels and cute oil bottle which is perfect decanting infused olive oil into. For those who are into baking and fancy trying out some the dishes from The Great British Bake off themselves this Blue Loaf tine for £4.99 would work a t......

Best Luxury Hotels in New York City

John has been to New York three times and is so far his favourite city, although Tokyo, LA, Moscow and Helsinki are still on his list so he may change his mind but for now he loves to vibrance, action and creativity that is found in the big apple and has been making plans to visit again soon so we thought we would share a list of the best luxury hotels Manhattan has to offer. Langham Place Check into Midtown with upscale accommodations at Langham Place . You certainly can't beat the location near Macy's, Grand Central and the Empire State Building. Swedish-designed beds, Italian bed linens and marble baths make this accommodation a blend of global styles. Langham place, New York Peninsula For those who love Fifth Avenue, nothing beats a stay at the Peninsula in Midtown East. At one of the most enviable addresses in the city, the Peninsula has swanky stylings like luxurious Italian bed linens and flat screens installed above soaker tubs. The amenities in......

Street Style Sunday - Rainy Bay baby

One of the many pleasures of having a baby is the fact that you can out cute clothes on them without any problems because as soon as they can make up their own mind that is it, like Mr A who has two favourite t-shirts and would live in them if he could. There is also an amazing array of independent makers and talented designers out there and we love to support homegrown talent when we can. So today's Street Style Sunday is all about these beautiful alphabet t-shirt hand finished by Rainy Bay and sold on Not On the Hight Street - they are so cute and well made i'm thinking of getting one for Mr A as well as they go from 6months to 6 years. I have paired up the tee with a cute pair of starry unisex leggings from Next as we are all about patterns, whites and pops of colour at the moment and of course making sure that Baby G is comfortable. I just wished they made such cute clothes in adult sizes! Someone is a happy monkey in his Rainy Bay tee I hope......
