What I wore/bought today!

I just snapped my outfit of the day after a long night of erm.. curling up on the sofa and trying to nap through my boyfriend and his parents hollering at the football! So if I look a bit sleepy it's because I am!  I wore this Topshop butt-skimmer to work today (with shorts underneath) with the DM's I got c/o Very a while back. Do you ever get it when you're wearing an item that feels...

Kitty quickie

Two cat-tastic things that have caught my eye in the last fifteen minutes. Erin from Calivintage's amazing cat-print frock. God, I want this girl's wardrobe. (I spy a DIY..?)And the most intensely adorable video I have ever seen.Oh, how I miss the days before Roxy was a barren old hag*.Back tomorrow! ♥*Joke, I heart her, womb or no womb! And the kitties were very...

Tuesday Tips: More cute re(tin)vention ideas!

Howdy!Last week's tinny tip went down so well, I thought I'd make it a tin trilogy with these little ideas! They were all photographed a few weeks ago for my uni project. The benefit of creating a book of tips for my FMP is that I now have tips ready every week rather than waking up on Tuesday and thinking 'WTF am I going to do this week?!?!' and having to ransack my cupboards for inspiration! The...

Summer fruits

Guten morgen!This could be a bit incoherent as I haven't had my coffee yet. It's right in front of me waiting to be swigged!These are some outfit posts Alex snapped before I went off to work yesterday. Due to the hurrying, I didn't have time to think about changing poses! So I give you one pose, with and without a jacket attached:(Not sure where sunnies are from... I found them!)I haven't worn this...

Unfinished business

Have you ever had a piece of clothing or pair of shoes that you didn't buy at the time and have never forgotten?I do. The Emma Cook for Topshop creeper boots, A/W 2008. I can't even remember why I didn't buy these originally. I think I didn't really have much money (do I ever?), and these were about £150 which seemed absurd to pay for some shoes I'd probably not be able to walk in... Plus...

New Look Style the Nation party

Last week I went to London to attend a couple of events, one of which was the New Look Style the Nation launch. I met up with the lovely Lily (am not just being polite, she is truly lovely company), and we had a funny day including getting interviewed for Radio 1 about driving legislation changes,  me popping the boob button off my dress and having to grovel to a hotel receptionist...

Tuesday tip: tin lanterns!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I handed my FMP in today and it is such a weight off my shoulders. Although, after 2 all-nighters in a row, I am feeling decidedly dead. We're going for dinner with Alex's parents tonight which is giving me the will to survive. I have had a few hours sleep now so hopefully I won't fall asleep in my dinner!This is the first in a series of tin crafts I've been loving lately! I...

Breaking my back but it's all good

Eurgggghhhh kill me now PLEASE.My Final Major Project is in on Tuesday morning and I am feeling the pressure. SO much still to do, and I'm sure I won't get it all done, but I'll just have to do my best. Whenever I'm feeling under major pressure, this song gives me some motivation. Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone from Lykke Li on Vimeo.FMP, YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME! I know there's a lot of people with deadlines and exams coming up, so maybe...

No place like home

I am attempting a scheduled post today, as I'm off in The Big Smoke (London) attending a couple of events. Keep up with any goss on my Twitter!I wanted to show you some photos from a lovely feature in the brand new issue of Cellardoor magazine of blogger/crafter Claire Donovan's fricking delightful home. Minty painted walls, adorable bunting and fresh flowers... It's all I dream my own home might...

Getting shirty

*** This is my 500th post! Eeep! ***I've acquired three new dresses this week, and there's a theme emerging. They're all shirty.I'm not sure why I'm having such a button-y collar-y moment, as these styles of dress usually gape at the boobs, but I can't resist. I'm even planning to buy my first minimiser bra so I can full embrace the trend! Any recommendations?? Ignore my awkward appearance...

Tuesday Tip: No-sew bunting!

I'm not sure what the point of bunting is exactly but I've been seeing it evvveerrryywherrree at the moment, and finding it seriously cute and summery. _uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker(); I decided to make my own the other day out of paper and a bit of pretty fabric. My little sister Shannon was coming over for her 17th birthday (hence the '17' on the bunting!) so it all kind of tied in with...
