AG Stevie Cords, Orange: Anthropologie – £39.95 down from £128.00
Regular readers will know of my enduring attraction to all things tangerine. I have never seen bright orange cords – I guess they could be difficult to pull of sartorially – but I LOVE them!

Many, many years ago in the London sales, we bought an Yves St Laurent orange bath towel set from Selfridges. They were beautiful, soft & fluffy when we got them; but now, with constant use and laundering, they’ve become a bit faded, thin & threadbare.
We’ve been looking for replacements for a while now – but the ones we’ve been seeing in the shops have all been the wrong shade of orange. You know the hue – a bit salmon or terracotta – not that knockout tangerine that we love.
Now, just like the proverbial buses, we’ve found three shops that have examples that are just right!

It was my birthday on the 24th of November and when Justin asked me what I wanted, my request was met by, “Are you sure?” He thought it was a bit functional or mundane for a birthday treat.
It’s something I’ve wanted for quite a long time, and thought that it was no longer available. But, when I noticed it for sale once again on the Selfridges website, I didn’t want to miss out a second time
I blogged about it a while ago – it was one of our weekly Wednesday Wish posts – you may remember it! It’s a bright orange Dualit toaster exclusively available from Selfridges.
We’ve had a similar one that we’ve been using for years, a purple 3-slot combi that we bought at Liberty when we lived in Brighton – which was over a decade ago! We used to have lilac walls in the kitchen in that house and it looked great. It doesn’t work so well in our current home though – in fact it’s jarred on the eyes for years – a purple toaster in an orange & cream kitchen. I don’t know how we lived with it for so long!
I’m sure this Dualit will last as long as the last which was used every day and never let us down – virtually indestructible!
And romance isn’t completely dead… after our morning toast, we went for a lovely birthday lunch at the Old Bore in Rishworth.
orange staple free stapler: cbs – £5.85
We’ve got a few different staplers knocking about in drawers & baskets in the house – all taking different sized staples. And have we got any staples? This bright, beautiful example puts paid to all that – it’s staple-less… staple-free!
