A Peek Inside Selina Lake's New Book
How fresh, girly and gorgeous is this space? It's from stylist Selina Lake's new book, Pretty Pastel Style. I love the pop of bold black breaking up the very sweet pastel palette. The book is not out until March, but you can pre-order a copy here

A Dingle Drive
The folder was unlovingly called "card dump". I was looking for something else in the hard drive when I came across it. In it were shots I had completely forgotten about. Looking through them, they transported me right back to that windy walk and that gorgeous Kerry scenery

When Ben and I first started going out, it was early December. I didn't have a clue what to get him; we really didn't know each other that well. As it turns out, we both knew each other a little bit better than we thought. Come
