JAMIE CAMPBELL WOW-ER

Be still my beating heart. I never used to be bothered by this little scamp but something about his face has changed and he's exuding an aura of loveliness. Especially in the sneak peek shots of the new Burberry campaign. Shining bright like an angel amongst all the other homegrown talent that the fashion label have offered up to us for SS14.

Look at that face. Meltier than a Lindor.

The full Burberry campaign and collection will be flying in your face from 3rd January.

BLENHEIM PALACE

So I've not blogged in a while, guess I was enjoying the hot summer we had (WHAT?), but I'm now back in the game. Task for the Autumn/Winter is to have more productive weekends, and this started last weekend when I went back to the parental cocoon and they took me to Blenheim Palace for a wholesome day out.

The word 'picnic' was bandied around so I went full throttle and made a Mediterranean Picnic Loaf to take with us. So delicious I almost cried. We picnic-ed in the freezing cold/blazing sun (a curious combo), took a look round a house that's too big for its own good and drank coffee that we queued half an hour for and drank in two minutes. We also got lost in a maze but I don't want to talk about it.

The day was concluded at a lovely little Turkish restaurant in Bicester where I ate haloumi and lasagne and taught the waitress how to do polka dot nails. Thanks parents.
