About Me – The Writer Behind Pancakes & Peonies

Everyday Moments, Elevated with Beauty & Joy

Welcome to Pancakes & Peonies, a space where everyday moments meet a little extra beauty, style, and adventure. I’m Clementine Harrow, a 26-year-old writer, dreamer, and brunch enthusiast based in London. I started this blog as a creative escape—somewhere to share the things that bring me joy, from beauty tips and fashion finds to weekend getaways and heartfelt reflections on life and love.

I believe in celebrating the small things, whether that’s the perfect fluffy stack of pancakes on a slow Sunday morning or discovering a hidden flower-filled courtyard in the middle of the city. Pancakes & Peonies is all about finding beauty in everyday moments, embracing personal style, and living life with intention (and a touch of indulgence).

So, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s talk beauty, fashion, food, travel, and everything in between.
