The Sneaky Magpie

The frost is here, which makes me think (and hope) there might be snow! There better be snow, I bought a nice wooden sledge for the boy and I am itching to use it.

The leeks and one lonely caovolo nero are looking rather pretty today.

In warmer and cozier news I have gone all peachy with this year’s make up and also, even more important make up news – Stila is back! There will be a counter at Harvey Nichols.

Above, Essie Tangerine nail varnish, Stila Major Lash mascara (the best mascara ever) and Stila blusher in Petunia. Cath Kidson hair accessory because since my son was born I have not been to a hairdresser and am now sporting a pony tail or a bun.

The interior got also bit orange-y with Orla Kiely’s cookie barrel and baking with strange rose petal macaroons. I am experimenting with red food colouring and rose petal essence.

We did a fair bit of decorating over the last couple of months, the staircase is looking very nice and is nearly nearly there. Here is a sneak peek – staircase in Charleston grey by Farrow&Ball, the Bloomsbury group’s favourite colour.When we moved here everything was badly painted including any brass and metal details. We started to uncover it all and it adds so much detail to the space.
