If you work from home or have a particularly dull office space, purchasing office supplies with personality and color is key. Everyone can order the standard pens and stationary from their office manager, or waddle down to Staples or Office Max to purchase some plain yellow folders and paper. However, considering most of us spend the majority of our lives at our desks working, why not make your work space just as awesome as your home?

Alas, September has arrived, and having pitifully squeezed out only a handful of sunny days, the British sun has said 'fuck it', and pissed off back to California for another year. Well fuck you sun. We're looking forward to autumn here anyway, and the increasingly chilly weather is a perfect opportunity for a bit of delicious soup!

I’m all about supporting women who are doing it for themselves, and Molly of the glamorous cupcake bakery, Molly Bakes, is no different. At the beginning of 2009, Molly lost her job just days before her 24th birthday. After a few months of Unemployment Boredom and after she had “seriously run out of things to do”, Molly remembered she had a secret recipe for cupcakes in her mother’s cook book.

Hallelujah! This week is National Cupcake Week in the UK, and while it may seem that every damn week is National Cupcake Week, for the next five days we’ll be celebrating all things related to the cakes of the cup variety. While the fetishization of these little cake and the concept of baking has become a bit Stepfordy and obsessive – there’s no denying the popularity ...

There’s nothing I love more than being over at someone’s house who has the neatest little kitschy things sprinkled here and there and everywhere throughout their home. More often than not, people will say, “Oh, I got that on holiday...” or “Oh that? I found it at a neat little flea market in Helsinki...” and then you start to feel terribly uncool that you don’t have fun little treasures scattered all over your domain, too.

Did you know that you can buy a packet of smoked salmon trimmings in Sainsburys for 88p? Well you can! They have not even paid me to say that (though Sainsburys, if you'd like to, don't be a stranger), I just couldn't keep such a bargain to myself!

When I get bored of biscuits, brownies, or even cupcakes with two inches worth of frosting on top - I love nothing more than to make these lemon drizzle poppy seed cupcakes. I found the original recipe for these cupcakes in The Guardian about a year ago. The recipe is by Dan Leopard, except his recipe calls for almonds, instead of poppy seeds, and is baked in a loaf tin as a full cake, rathe...

It may not shock you to learn that I fucking love cooking shows. With Nigella currently off-air, and having tired of Come Dine With Me (something I didn't think possible until I set it to series-record on my freeview box), my attentions are turned to Levi Roots' (of Reggae Reggae fame) BBC2 show, Caribbean Food Made Easy.

While you guys have been feasting your eyes and hopefully bellies on a plethora of my delicious recipes from the past year, I have been finding time between Estrella guzzling, and beach sleeping to cook up some local ingredients in Spain.

I’m definitely opposed to boring dinnerware, and am easily bored with department store and homewares shop selling the same sets of plates, bowls and cups. It seems difficult to find dinner sets that are creative, and not something that you’re going to find in your best friend’s kitchen when you go over for lunch.
