APRIL
It began with an idea late last year - the thought that something I’ve always enjoyed could grow into more than just a pastime. I’m still finding the shape of it, but it felt like the right moment to begin.
Think of these monthly wrap-ups as a space to share inspiration. What I bought, what I’m eyeing, where I ate, where I travelled. As time goes on, I’m sure it’ll evolve into whatever feels right, but for now, here’s everything from April.
THE APRIL MOOD LIST
FROM MOOD TO MINE
Paired with the shorts to the right, I have a trip to Indonesia planned and think this will look so chic with a tan but also both parts are versatile - I can style them together or seperately
These were a Madrid purchase, they are limited edition and I love the colour. We ended up buying like 4 pairs!
A wine bar/delicatessen.
Truly immaculate vibes - especially on a sunny day when you can sit outside.
I love an orange wine in the warmer months, we went for the Cantina Marilina Sketta Grecanico, which I would highly recommend.
THE MOOD, SERVED
I have been here for both lunch and supper recently, if you can get a table outside for lunch in the sunshine it’s a stunning suntrap.
I believe it’s walk-in’s only, but if you manage to get a table the pasta and flat breads are a true winner.
It’s also worth trying to go upstairs for a night cap and some live music.
Another birthday trip, this time for my boyfriend.
We spent a night at the most wonderful, Heckfield Place, where every bite is made from fresh, homegrown produce, the spa is blissfully phone-free (with views over a field of sheep, no less) and all 453 acres felt like our own.
This really is the kind of place that redefines slow & intentional luxury.
Heckfield Place
Living for a polka dot at the moment, and a wrap scarf so given both combined in this one piece, it felt like a no brainer - and such a good price
Personally loving a retro sneaker at the moment and the tan suede is very different to what I already own
Technically a men’s jumper but I bought in an XS. I’ve been looking for a preppy-vibe jumper like this for a while. I love the subtle touch of colour. I’ve already worn it so much.
These are mini-short, the black ensemble is super flattering but also would be so cute with a baby tee and some socks and loafers for the city
Opened a while a go but a solid favourite of mine - it is still incredibly difficult to get a prime time reservation.
It’s a Greek restaurant with the most incredible dips and flat breads, with a sharing concept. I cannot even put into WORDS the chocolate cheesecake pictured left, total heaven on earth.

The Mood I Landed In
This was a very special trip; my Dad was here on business but turning 60 at the weekend so we flew out as a surprise, it just so happens my birthday is the day after so it was considered a double birthday trip.
I’d have never had a urge to go to Madrid, however I’d say it is now up there with one of my favourite cities in Europe. The shopping is amazing, the city itself is so clean.
We booked last minute so we did 2 nights at The Madrid Edition and one night at Villa Magna Rosewood, you can read more here
