Mojito Mints
A big yes to you St Germain Mojito because here in the UK it’s finally summer!
Heather Landis
I’ve just come across the work of illustrator Heather Landis and I’m smitten. They contain heady mixtures of vintage adverts, photographs and illustration and each has elements of fairytale wonder, vintage eclecticism tempered with a dash of surrealism. Heather currently lives in LA and you can buy a selection of her prints from Society6.

Elizabeth I, above, is my favourite – can’t you see her commanding the stage in a boardroom? Below are King Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, William Shakespeare and Admiral Lord Nelson.

Ellen Verbeek
More shoes, I hear you say. And so soon? I know, I know but I just had to share these vegetable-tanned leather beauties by Belgian brand Ellen Verbeek. The thoughtful design, the muted palette and the thick wooden heels give this shoes serious character. See more images from the lookbook below.
