Happy almost-October! We're about to start October, which means we're into the heart of Autumn, and so I've decided to make a moodboard to hopefully share the excitement I have for it. It encapsulates almost everything I love about October: cosy evenings in, fiery florals, pumpkins, steaming hot drinks, walks in the rain, Halloween, …
Another month, another moodboard! September is kind of a "me" month. There's my birthday (today!), which means celebrating with friends, stuffing myself with sweets and cake, treating myself, and generally just being a whole lot more relaxed. The things I put in my moodboard reflect that. I've been buying myself flowers, and over the weekend …
How is it almost August already?! For me, August has always been a month of sunshine, and sightseeing. When I was younger, I used go on family holidays during August, and now I’m older (and without my travel being limited to the school holidays), I still think of August as a time for adventure, albeit …
In July, the (mostly) sunny skies make it a bright and colourful month! Due to the weather, it tends to be busy month too: the light evenings lead to drinks after work, the warm weekends call for Pimms in the park, and visiting new places around town sounds so much more exciting when you're not …
April is when Spring really starts to take hold. The muted tones of Winter grow into the soft colours of Spring, and around us we start to see fragile pinks and lilacs forming, and the morning sky turning a delicate blue. To me, April is another month for new beginnings: the spring cleaning sessions being …
With the end of Winter comes the start of Spring in March, where all the greys begin to die out and slowly start to be replaced with hints of colour. I always think of March as a month of cool, clear mornings, buds of flowers getting ready to bloom, and morning walks along the Thames …
It's almost the end of January, meaning we're on the cusp of a calm, quiet, cold February. It's a month that always makes me think of my commute to work: the biting cold, the frost on bus windows, and the soft blue skies. A lot of the photos I chose fit in with this theme …
Everything seems so slow in January. Probably because it's just such a long month after Christmas. When we reach January, we're in the depths of Winter, meaning lots of grey, foggy mornings ahead. A lot of things come to mind when I think of January. Walking to work in the dark mornings when the sun …
When I think of December, I normally see a forest of greens, reds and golds thanks to it being the month of Christmas! But for this moodboard, I felt like adding in some gorgeous teals and greys. I've found their addition has created a more calming combination of colours, and still fits perfectly with the theme …
November for me has always been a kind of month of purples and reds with twinkling lights: perhaps it's the reds of autumn waning into winter nights, or the walks home from work through a sparkling city lit with streetlights and shop windows, or the anticipation of Christmas decorating the streets? Who knows. But I …
