Riiiiiiiiight Royal

Love these bottles by Royal Apothic with their grey atomizers and a lovely delicately drawn map of kensington gardens on the back. Got my mind harking back to a childhood of blowing merely air on my face with an abandoned one in my house,but clearly still thinking I was the height of sophistication!
Would very much actually BE totally sophis if i owned something like this one here below...

...swoon!

Location, Location

Had the pleasure of prancing around an amazing edwardian location house today... and I can't stop thinking about the beautiful forms and flora on display. Whilst sitting in front of this fireplace for most of the day my eye was drawn to the multitude of feline and owl decorative pieces-probably the fave the two mini teapots stage right here! The house was simply full of (often scandinavian) gorgeousness alongside a magical garden... (complete with summerhouse) 
ahhhhhhh...
Anyway funnily enough I realised mid flicking through the latest copy of the mag below-that in fact the house on the cover was the very one I happened to be sitting in. Slightly surreal moment... and definitely prefer the cats n owls to the flower theme but totally understand why it made the cover-tis a beauty!!
