This & That (And Mother's Day Musings)...

Random things and thoughts gathered throughout the week, and my feelings on motherhood and Mother's Day.

Happy Friday!
The Chloé gold shell bag lookalike for approx £3k less than the original, rugs on my radar, chicest (high street) woven ballet flats, prettiest pot holders you never knew you needed, flora and fauna, and a few thoughts on Mother’s Day…

Ok, so it made not be the closest (*coughs) of dupes (urgh hate that word…), but when you consider you’re saving approx £3188.00 (yes really), I’m fully prepared to drag it around the garden a few times to dull down that gold a notch or two…


Rugtastic…

La Redoute Milas Jute-Effect Indoor/Outdoor Rug
Zara Home Shape Print Rug
M&S X Fired Earth Jute Patterned Rug

I tend to gravitate to plainer rugs in my own home (as much as I love and appreciate a patterned one in other homes and spaces), but a few have caught my eye this week. Lucy Williams’ beautiful collaboration with Pelican Home really drew me in. My favourite style is the Dune, an homage to the beaches and sand dines of Wales. I just love this print.
The La Redoute one is a great hybrid between plain and patterned if patterns aren’t necessarily your thing. It’s great value too.
