walala x play (and a weekend in London)
Being a pattern junkie, I’ve always loved Camille Walala’s work. Her super bold patterns are just so playful and pleasing to look at. Jack and I decided to come down to London and coincide it with the London design festival last weekend, and we had wanted to see Villa Walala too. Things didn’t quite go […]
Homeware at Asda
I had no idea Asda did such nice homeware! I’d imagine I’m in the minority not knowing about this but I just got so excited about it.
Monthly Favourites – August
I thought I’d start a Monthly Favourites series as I love watching them on youtube. It won’t be focused, I’m just going to throw everything and anything in there – from books to food, design and music. So here’s a selection of things I’ve been loving this month…
Portishead Pool
Recently I revisited Portishead open air pool – the perfect spot on a hot, sunny day!It’s located next to the estuary in Portishead, and you have to drive past the lakes where people are driving their miniature remote controlled boats and having picnics. So you already feel like you’re on holiday as soon as you […]
Being a Graphic Designer: Tech and Stationery I use
My desk is super old and definitely not what I’d choose now (90s silver legs – ew) BUT it is huge and so I thought I’d put up with it for a little longer. It’s actually a really horrible orange laminate wood colour so I covered it in sticky backed white vinyl which works wonders! (I got mine from the Bristol scrap store for pennies but Wilkinson sells a similar version here).
Morocco – Agadir
The hotel we stayed in (read my post about it here) is located in the coastal town Agadir. There isn’t much history because they had a massive earthquake in the 1960s and everything had to be rebuilt. You can see there is still major work going on, and I’m sure it’s all changing rapidly. This […]
Morocco – Marrakesh
As I mentioned in my previous post (part one here), Marrakesh is somewhere I’ve aaaalways wanted to go, and part of the reason we chose this holiday.We were staying in Agadir, so Marrakesh was a fair drive away (3hrs and a 6am start eeeek) but I’m so glad we did it. The weather was a crazy 45°C, […]
