CS Lewis Nature Reserve A tucked away spot in Risinghurst, you can walk to CS Lewis’ house and then venture to this peaceful woodland.

Next weekend my lovely friend Grace is getting married and I’m on the hunt for something to wear. As per usual I’ve blitzed through my wardrobe to see if anything will work but alas I’m on the hunt for something new #ivegotnothingtowear. In my messy room (and with no make up on, gasp!) I snapped some of the contenders but …

Another month, another market. Today was the monthly Magdalen Flea Market. The sun was shining, the stalls laid out and special guest spot this month was the Annie Sloan Shop. I was volunteering for Emmaus Oxford and our stall had a range of furniture, bric-a-brac and homewares. It was a busy, buzzy day and I bought a handmade box from Emmaus …

The weather did not let down the Oxford Instagram meet up. 11am at Modern Art Oxford cafe we met up, drank tea – or in my case Diet Coke…. We had some chat and then went for a walk around Oxford, taking over every beautiful door way as we went! I don’t think there is a more beautiful place for …

Gazebos up, sun shining and boxes and boxes of ‘stuff’. Today I had the pleasure of volunteering for Emmaus Oxford at our first Magdalen Flea Market at the Maggie Arms, on Iffley Road. There’s about 10-15 stalls, each with their own style. From Hilary Squire flowers to Sarah’s Home Comforts and retro style children’s clothes; so much to choose from. Emmaus …

I have to confess – I have only bought one thing from this Oxford vintage shop. It was a black sparkly jacket and was a gift for a friend. However, I do love the mannequin displays in the windows at Reign on Cowley Road and the layout of the shop makes it easy to browse. However, It just doesn’t have …

2016 is set to be a great year in Oxford and I’ve scoped out some of things I want to do and see – from vintage clothing to art. As much as I love sitting in my onesie with a gin… this year I plan to get out and about more and explore Oxford. It’ll be my fourth year here …
Witney Warehouse is a home furnishings palace! It has a mixture of new and vintage pieces spread across a vast warehouse space. From the outside it could be any old unit but the interior was inviting, and as I visited just before Christmas – a Winter Wonderland feel. The pieces ranged from small candle holders, clocks, mirrors, upcycled coat hangers and …
The Old Flight House is possibly the most beautiful shop I’ve ever visited. In the small village of Weston-on-the-green in Oxfordshire you can find this vintage, antiques and interior haven. It’s a big site with many different units within it and also a cafe for a quick break in between the browsing. Each corner I turned another gasp came out of my …
I’ve been with Emmaus Oxford for just under six months now and things are really starting to ramp up with the development of our new shop. The shop will be on Barns Road in Cowley replacing our current superstore in Marston. I’ve also purchased half the shop in this time and think my house could be used as the Emmaus …
