Richmonds are coming to stay! For a week, the usual routine will be put on hold while we keep three sassy little girls entertained, fed and happy. No doubt a trip to Smiggle will be involved, at Auntie Nessa’s expense, of course! For a ‘holiday’, it’s going to be exhausting, but memories will be made and I’ll come out the other side with a fresh view on life. If your summer’s going to be equally hectic, I hope you manage to carve out some time – preferably on a sun lounger, with a long, cold drink in one hand – to savour this issue. It’s packed with stunning real homes, stylish ideas and savvy buys, to fuel all kinds of plans and dreams… SEND US YOUR STYLING SNAPS ON INSTAGRAM…
