SPRING HAS SPRUNG
🌼
Springtime is definitely on its way here in the French Alps, we’ve been basking in the sunshine and the snow hanging on in there on the mountain tops.

Looks like the UK will be feeling the sun too this week 😀

I’m feeling optimistic, hope you are to

FASHION STYLING...
👗
My posts for months now have almost entirely consisted of interior related styling and no fashion.
👗
Thats because I’ve just not had the enthusiasm for fashion for obvious reasons and I make a point of only posting:
👗
A. what I’m feeling and
B not posting anything for the sake of it..
👗
But I am now getting itchy for a fashion shoot and I’d love to be back doing some fashion styling again soon.
👗
I miss the great feeling of being part of a creative team working together on a shoot and producing something beautiful.
👗
This is a lovely shoot I did with @londoncollegeofstyle @timcopseyphotography and the beautiful @amanda_a_farnum
👗
I loved pulling these looks together, my concept for this shoot was ‘urban Prairie’ and it was shot on location @kempshottlocation How gorgeous is this green bathroom?😍
👗
I’m hoping to doing some more shoots in the future, when the time feels appropriate, combining my interest in both fashion with interiors.

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY.. who doesn’t love a pop up restaurant?
🍽
This time last year I was styling an intimate pop up dining space for my sister @helenbriscoethomas and her friend @anushka_eats both @leithscooking chefs who came together to create @babushka_and_lel
🍽
It was a fabulous evening .. but what made it really special was that it was food cooked from the heart and made with love.. and as diners we all felt and shared in that sentiment, this is to me is what the true art of cooking and eating is really about
🍽
and that’s why I love a pop up .. it takes a lot of hard work, planning, not to mention the physical lifting and transportation involved in getting one of these events together, so it has to be born of passion and love or you wouldn’t bother..
🍽
Hopefully they will bother again and are planning more in the brighter future.
🍽
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate ‘unlocking’ than getting together with lots of lovely people and sharing food made with love, can you ❤️
🍽
Follow @babushka_and_lel and keep badgering them for more details 😜

My French Mountain Home. A LITTLE VIDEO TOUR...
🛏
The other day I posted some shots of the bedroom and explained how this bedroom has been slightly raised so as to allow access to the balcony.
🛏
Here’s a little video tour showing the full room with the open en-suite.
🛏
It’s worth pointing out that this as all of the rooms on the upper floors were never in existence pre reno, it was a vast void.
🛏
The inner roof structure and main beams were all repaired and remain but the rest is all fabricated in old local wood, which demonstrates the talent of local wood craftsman.
🛏
When designing the en-suites in this house I was keen to keep them as open to the bedroom as possible.
🛏
Here I created an open cattle style partition, in keeping with the history and original purpose of the building. This creates some screening to make bath times more cosy.

Warm dusky glow..
🔥
So here we are on 1st February, one step closer to the Spring we are probably looking forward to more than any other year I remember.
🔥
Whilst I’m looking forward to lighter longer days I still find comfort in cosy darker evenings.
🔥
It’s 5.45pm here so an hour earlier than the UK so it’s darker in the mornings which is the bit I don’t really like 😖
🔥
I feel if we can snuggle down for February we can emerge energised and optimistic in March.
🔥
How are you feeling about February?
