Highlights from Chelsea 


What a glorious few days we had last week at the House and Garden Spring Fair at the Chelsea Barracks which is now in its 4th year and runs alongside the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
 
I was so honoured to be invited back again this year to host a pop up in their chic potting sheds alongside other  British movers and shakers from the world of interiors.


We showcased our new Ibiza Eye collection, our woven placemats and new table linens which are great ways to instantly update your summer tables.
And  being Chelsea, we had a fabulous focus on our teal collection of ceramics which echoed the verdant foliage all around us. 

Florist Elizabeth Blanck worked her magic filling our pitchers and bud vases with a wonderful mix of summer blooms including peonies, roses and sweet peas. Check out her lovely insta @elizabethblanckfloralartist.

And I even managed to teach a bubble glaze workshop - a technique I've spent many years perfecting for my signature bubble ceramics. It was a joy to share the technique with others  and create some lovely personalised bud vases.


I also introduced my fern and gold leaf platters which are some recent bespoke designs I've been working on and they were literally fresh out of the kiln!
It was wonderful seeing lots of you there and we even enjoyed some blue skies.



I absolutely love this new tinted SPF50 from Australian brand Naked Sundays. It superlight and glides on giving you the most radiant looking skin while protecting from UVA and UVB. And it comes in an excellent range of colours. It's a winner


Rae Feather knows how to make a great tote. I've loved her monogrammed designs for years and this summer's crochet Marty bag is no exception. The pretty raffia panels with floral motifs are offset by lovely braided handles. And the monogrammed pouch is super useful for popping in your phone and wallet.


This nautical stripe bandeau bikini from J Crew manages to be flattering and practical (as the straps can be removed for seamless tanning). If these bottoms are not your thing they also do a more classic lower cut classic bikini shape. J'adore!


This 16 piece bamboo cutlery set from La Redoute is such a great find as it's so brilliantly priced - it's currently half price at £42.49 from £84.99.  You can't beat bamboo cutlery for al fresco summer dining as it adds a wonderful riviera chic to any table.


I have fallen in love with Colours of Arley's beautiful outdoor fabrics. You choose a colour combo and they come up with a great range of co-ordinating options from bench seating, classic cushions and pretty mini bolsters. I'm obviously now planning a refurb of my outside cushions! They also make the smartest dog bed.
