I’ve been a Notting hill girl for some years now, for a while nestled in the heart, then in the middle and now canalside (all with faithful pussas by my side) and have seen changes aplenty.
Suzy Hoodless is one of my favourite hip locals who is creating heavenly houses and lucky me, I’ve had the chance to do instalations amongst some of her cool designs. Hers are wish list musts.
Take a looksie at her fab work…can we rock these looks in a french barn?

A mad dash week of work over and it’s time out time.
Floristry scissors lost – four pairs
Oasis toppling in to the canal – one box
Laurel deciding to go crunchy – two wraps
Couriers arriving during a downpour – 3
Feminine mummy hands ruined – 2
I have some days off with lovely Harper in which we will prettify, work on a project with Brissi, sort out baby jabs (ouch) and try and convince Arnold the cot’s not such a great idea. All to the tune of a goose loose on top of Anny and a whingey woodburner.
Petal pleasures for an October week, these are some of mine what are yours?
This weekend we swapped flowers for fashion shoots, for film and The Woman in Black with a spec of victoriana for a well to do parlour.
So so much fun, cue roses, pepper flowers, all the rage floral pineaples and love lies bleeding. I’ve never been nervy about living next to a graveyard but researching the original definitely resulted in scary movie musings for a monday and a wizardly fascination for Gypsy Rose flowers from HP fans.

Today has involved a wonky wheeled shopping trolley full of pumpkins, hurtling Mabel around Chelsea, leaving Harper with her lovely Grandma, buying flowers I’ve never used before (burgandy fluffy giant blooms, more soonski ) and being soothed by paper urns of lovely in a fave shop window.

Back to work this week it’s been all about fashion shoots and October flower fodder. Other stars have included:
A Mirabelle jam called Black Crow.
Harper smiling lots…(we love).
Captain blushing over Nigella in Portobello.
Bouquets for Burberry.
Victoriana flowers for a film set.
A tale of twenty pumpkins.
And Mabels return to the flower market.
Happy wednesday

Every girl needs a bit of fru fru la la and with a cosmetic job coming up I’m digging out the flower girls staple of red lippy and seeking inspiration from a vintage era.
These cool 50’s and 60’s ads are telling me it’s time to dust down my dancing shoes (btw check out Captain on Cazza’s new pics), fluff up my marabou feathers, pouff some coral powder about and get rocking a trivette look.
Flowers? Peachy pink roses and a few daring dahlias ofcourse.
