Sarah's Blog
A freelance journalist from Sydney, Sarah lives in South East London with her husband Dave and three children, Phoenix, Cassian and Leon. She likes raspberries, stars, lilies, butterflies, Blondie, Jack Bauer and the smell of coriander and garlic when it hits the pan.
She loves motherhood and sings a mean nursery rhyme but can’t help but wish that wearing Louboutins to soft play wasn’t considered bad form. Her favourite online stores are NetAPorter.com, Waterstones.com, SpaceNK.co.uk, & Plumo.com.
A Spring in my Step
Published on Tuesday 16th March 2010
Despite the less-than-encouraging temperatures, I'm rather doggedly channeling Spring at the moment and relegating anything in a wintry palette to the back of my wardrobe - and with daffodils just about to appear (so full of promise!) I'm paying homage with a bit of peppy yellow.
I'm not kidding myself that it's time to break out the sundresses but this Jigsaw cardigan is the perfect stepping stone to the warmer days that are (they are, I tell you!!) on their way.
Dubbed the "I Love You cardigan", it features in the new British Rom-Com My Last 5 Girlfriends, which opens for an initial week-long run in cinemas across the UK this week and on which my talented husband was the Director of Photography.
So, with a spring in your step and some zing in your wardrobe, that's your next date night sorted.

Two Thousand and Zen
Wednesday 27th January 2010
Almost impossible to believe that 12 months ago, I was expressing my intention to dub the year ‘Two Thousand and Wine’. Things didn’t exactly work out that way (hello, baby Leon!) but this year, I’m determined that nothing – not even a new baby - will stand in the way of having a...
A Very Cashmere Christmas
Tuesday 22nd December 2009
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. As a vegetarian, I’m not much bothered about the goose – but let me tell you about some things that are getting thin: 1. Me. Well, relatively speaking. Compared to my 9-months-pregnant self of a few months ago, anyway. Oh, leave me alone. I’m...
The Trickiest Dinner Guests
Friday 27th November 2009
It Girl. Socialite. Party Girl. Truth is, none of these epithets can be applied to me, much as I might sometimes wish that I had a designer wardrobe and function-crammed Smythson that begs to differ. Nonetheless, I do rather love a party, regardless of whether it’s my own or someone else’s...
Heels Away
Wednesday 28th October 2009
So now I am a mother of three! Just two months after my first turned three, and just two months before my second turns two, Leon Magnus was born at home weighing a healthy 8lb1. He’s heaven. It’s hectic, but heaven. And if two children weren’t enough to make me feel...
Preparing the Nest
Wednesday 23rd September 2009
With less than 2 weeks left until my due date, preparations for the arrival of baby number 3 are well under way here – but the poor wee thing has barely merited a purchase in my spending efforts. Phoenix and Cassian both scored beautiful new moses baskets when they were born but since...
