Wish List

1.Polka dot  jersey playsuit £30.00. 2. 'Kosy' Black studded slippers £55.00. 3. Semi Precious stone ring £12.50. 4. Black satchel Bag £28.00. 5. Sleeveless tie front shirt £24.00. 6. Floral high waisted denim shorts £34.00. 7. Floral Bow collar top £24.00 8. Black sporty maxi skirt £30.00

Oh How I do miss working in Topshop and having my (dangerous) staff card that got me 25% off. It's bad how quickly I can get to Oxford circus topshop (about 20 minutes on a bus from my house), I feel the pull to go in all too much. Pay day needs to hurry up so I can buy myself some treats.

Trunks and Cases

Still dreaming of a holiday reminded me of some dressing I did at work a few months ago.....
The theme was a 'European Tour', I got some vintage trunks and cases and placed some old-style holiday stamps on them to age and give the feeling of fun travel memories. I also got some lovely real second hand postcards from a market (Spitafields market in Shoreditch sells lots of these).

Monday Morning Wish List.


I am wishing for this book from Mulberry celebrating their 40th anniversary. It's a behind-the-scenes peak into their world filled with some beautiful images from their past two years. At £55.00 it's a little pricey for me at the moment (damn those bills that need paying) so for now I will have to make do watching the flip-book version on their website (whilst clutching and polishing my beautiful Bayswater I got for my birthday....). Watch it here http://www.mulberry.com/?gclid=CNvmh-PV2qgCFQRP4QodNg1HAQ

Thinking about a Jolly Holiday


After spending the day/night in the sun in Bexhill (sea side town on the south coast) I have got the holiday bug even more. I will do the most of my summer. Infact I'd even go 'glamping' (sorry, only way is essex reference- for those not in the know 'glamping= glam camping'), I would like a stay in this caravan designed by Simon Costin. Thanks.

Friday Inspiration Post.




I always love Set Designer Shona Heath's work and this 'Starsigns' piece she did for British Vogue last year is a favourite.

Shop full of Horrors


So I braved Primark yesterday. That may seem like a weird way to put it, but if you're not familiar with Oxford street Primark you won't know how it is hell on earth. I had heard some right horror stories about the mess and the manic crazy people who shop there and it had put me right off going- in fact to the point where I'd managed to avoid going in there the last 5 months I have lived here. But alas I am a bit poor at the moment yet had a need to shop so I took a deep breath and went in. It was horrific, considering I went at like 6pm on an evening I have never seen anything like it, it paid off though as I picked myself a right treat of a bargain.This (what I think is) very cool and fun summer dress with flamingo's. I know probably me and about 50,000 other people in the country will have it but I don't care for £9.00 (!) I couldn't really say no. I'm debating maybe change the buttons on it but it depends if I can really be bothered, and even if I don't the little gem buttons on it aren't too horrid. I'm going to wear it with my new brogues from asos, some white lace-frill socks from urban outfitters and hopefully a TAN on my legs, as right now they're so white they're see-through.
