FFG interiors: My Little London Flat Part 2, The Rest...

While the living room is the heart of the home, in my home at least, I do believe the soul is found in the more personal spaces - the spaces where you relax, sleep and just generally decompress on the solo. So today, I'm sharing my bedroom and my second bedroom, which I've turned into a dressing room of sorts. Yes, I know it's all rather decadent. In reality, this space started as an office. But, I found I was doing all my writing on the sofa, so I decided to make this space a place where I could either play dress-up on a regular basis and/or sit and read a book.  Oh the importance of redefining a space. And may I just say that designating a space to sit and contemplate your day has completely changed the day from start to finish. Like some character from Hitchcock, I sit in my bay...

With James Bay and Sam Smith strongly on our minds and a whole weekend full of promised sunshine, it was the recipe for success. We arrived at the happy and hectic fields, I decided...

Camera Girl Print

Hi Fifi Fans, I've been so busy this week I haven't even had time for even the incy-est shopping trip. The main reason is I took delivery of a whole pile of delicious new prints and have been signing, photographing, collating and tapping away at my MacBook to get them ready for my online store relaunch mid September. I'll be sharing a few of the newest goodies before then like this lovely print 'Camera Girl' which is one of my faves. I have new charms too and ...drumroll... the brooches are back! Hope you love everything as much as I do. bunny kisses Fifi Lapin xxx ...
