Natural beauty

Like many other artists and designers, I find endless inspiration in nature 🌴 I’m constantly amazed by the beauty of naturally occurring patterns, colours and compositions 🌸 Being outside in nature is also one of my favourite ways to recenter and recharge myself and I’m constantly bringing new plants home to add to my indoor urban jungle 🌵 Over the past year I started photographing flora and plantlife up close and these images provided the starting point for several of the patterns of our new collection 🌼 Here are some of my favourite photos from the past year which were taken in a myriad of locations from Antigua to London to South Africa 🍃 Hope you enjoy! xo

The LNS Foolproof Guide to Enjoying Valentine’s Day in London

- - - - - E A T - - - - -

£££: Gallery at sketch

A restaurant decked out in pink is a restaurant after my own heart. Treat you and your sweetie (or your bestie) to a special dinner or afternoon tea at the Gallery at sketch. Designed by acclaimed British artist, David Shrigley, be seated in an upholstered pink chair while tucking into menu items such as the Arborio risotto with gorgonzola and sliced pear in Marsala wine. Check out Valentine's Day options at sketch here.

£: Smith & Sinclair pastilles

Send the children to bed and break out these tipsy gems crafted in the UK. Alcohol-infused pastilles from Smith & Sinclair—currently stocked by Harrods, Harvey Nichols and other locales— come in flavors such as Gin & Tonic (violet-infused gin in a lemon sherbet coating) and Mixed Berry Daiquiri (summer berries, dark rum and a pink peppercorn-infused coating). These puppies pack a punch so enjoy in moderation.
