thank you JP loved this how lucky are you, I have several duvet sets, cushions and throws of Kelly's they are so classy, exude quality and are classic, but at the same time contemporary. Really enjoyed this post.

She’s iconic. I actually only have one Hoppen piece and that’s a champagne bucket from 1999.

Oh that did make me chuckle - what a treat to be on this list and the invite. I love Kelly’s style, both her own and interiors wise, a great partnership, so will be checking all. Loved reading about your day.

So it’s taken a couple of days to catch up with your musings, but wow! Do you have plenty of storage when you change up your new bits & pieces? Do you change up every season? Loved that KH holds on to old and new. So many questions JP. Hope you’ve sorted your tighty whities.

See you Sunday ❤️

I’m just about to start decorating and furnishing a bedroom and I’m going to be shopping my home for the whole thing and not buying anything new. X

Honestly, I barely change things up at all. I love reporting on the new seasonal collections, but in reality I have enough stuff and don’t feel the need to buy them. Although that throw might get purchased. Most of the things I love are antique or preloved, but I might change it up with a new cushion or two. I do have a lot of stored cushions!

Ooh that’s classy! My friend’s Portuguese villa is full of KH furniture. Great move on M&S’s part. Looking forward to seeing the collection in person.

This is the first collection where she actually said she basically copied her own intrinsic style, but she plans many more collections for them where she said she will bring in colour too. Excited for that.

Glad you had a great day JP. I’m not into the monochrome homeware really but a few of those vases were really gorgeous! I preferred the terracotta colours. And I must say I really loved the men’s clothes, in fact I wished they did a lot of them in women’s fashion too 😃

The men’s clothes were awesome. The women’s collection was quite a bit more glitzy I must say.

So excited for it all Alison, but first there’s a little late summer styling, hopefully this weekend, before we start on the true autumn/winter joy. 🍂

That little number might have to be purchased Moira. Pretty isn’t it!

Yes, I was thinking how gorgeous it would look with gentle yellow spring blooms.

Oh what a fabulous day you must have had, and how funny the studs popping on the train 🤣

I get so very nervous, but once I’m in the swing of things I always have fun. Felt quite surreal being in the same room as her and filming her!

Just a little bit jealous 😉 and I’m sure you were fabulous!
