The Wool BnB: Decorating with wool

The Wool BnB: Decorating with wool

Talk about cosying up for autumn. This amazing house in De Beauvoir Town, London, has been completely decked out in wool by The Campaign for Wool. Everything is made from wool, from the interiors to the fashion. I got a sneak preview earlier this week – the colours are bold, the design is vibrant and striking (this wooly world was designed and curated by uber interiors stylist Karina Garrick), and the best news is that the Wool BnB is open right now to celebrate Wool Week 2016, with a whole host of wooly events and activities bookable via EventBrite, from craft…

Styling the Seasons: June

Styling the Seasons: June

I’m sneaking in at the very last minute with this month’s Styling The Seasons post for Katy and Charlotte. I’ve had a bit of a styling block this month – I feel like I’m running out of surfaces to style and I was coming up blank when I tried to think about what June means to me (I think this year, June means going 100 miles an hour and the month disappearing in the blink of an eye). I needed some inspiration so I turned to the twins for some ideas. When we asked them what’s special about June, they…
