LOVE this girls style!

She kinda reminds me a bit of a cross between Jenna Malone & (Princess) Kate Middleton...

It's been 18 days. 18 long tiresome days without coffee.

Ahhh coffee, no not coffee. Triple shot, skinny vanilla (sometimes toffee...) latte.

I never used to be a coffee snob -spose I can't reallyyyy call myself one as what I drink really isn't coffee after you've added the syrup... but I MISS YOU coffee.

I am absoluely head over heels in love with Boucheron Jewelry's Cabinet of Curiosities collection. MUST HAVE THEM ALL.

So detailed and sparkly!

Marco Mazzoni -Coloured pencil brillance.

Cause things to happen

Don’t wait for them. Be a creator, an instigator, a collaborator.

Ok while I'm on a role... one more post! Fav images from my Europe travels....

P A T T E R N ME

Inspiring patterns from Europe! All from my travels of historical monuments and buildings around Western Europe.

oooo different! Wax seal inspired jewels from Pyrrha, available at Liberty's...

I'M IN C H A I N S

Love this new rage of body chains coming out. Kinda kooky but keep thinking of some seriously cool things you could do with them! Simple two strands that cross at the front/back or a major design piece! oh so pretty.

O R E L I A

WANT. Delicate, simple and sweet. Jewels by Orelia. (Also available at Topshop).

D O U B L E

Ottoman Hands -Now available at Topshop, Turkish inspired jewels.

Below -Extremely similar High street designs Aamaya by Priyanka...

S E S S U N

Another wonderful designer found on my travels though Liberty's today. Sessun -French label, garments are timeless, modern with vintage flare. WANT.

H E R M I O N E

Went for a wonder through Liberty's today -walked with confidence but am pretty sure all the shop assistants knew I didn't belong! Came across a designer I'd not heard of before -Hermione de Paula. Beautifully floral digitally printed garments! Silky and lux with a price tag to match, but oh so worth it!

W O O

Just received an Alumni email newsletter from my old Uni and discovered a couple of girls from the fashion degree group have started up there own label -Hutchinson Sisters. Well done to them for collaborating and getting it off the ground! Am always super jealous to hear when others from my course have made names for themselves but of course super happy for them!

Other girls who have made it from Uni include -Why Who & Surface too Deep.

Beautiful stuff girls! congrats!

Oh boy! I think I've caught the travel bug! Where to next?!

Short and sweet the trip was great! Wish I could've typed each day but very limited access to the net which was both shockingly scary and amusing to realise I can live without it for 12 days! (ok I went on it once... but only for 5 minutes! ).

Still catching up on sleep so until I can handle keeping my eyes open long enough here's a piccy of the charming Eiffel tower taken by your's truly!

Warning! there will be excessive posts to follow!

E X P L O R E

That's what I'm doing! yes indeed have finally caught the travel bug, only taken a year of being here! Set off tomorrow at the ungodly hour of 6:30am to join the ranks of the coach tourist.

7 Ccountries, 12 days.

Ready. Set. GO!

Will tell you allllll about it when I return!

(I hope the bus does cool stuff like the one above... though judging by the price it will probably be more like 87 to Wandsworth...)

IT'S A

Went to sleep last night in Clapham to the lullaby of sirens and helicopters... if they were my children they wouldn't see daylight for the next 10 years or so.

Happy note: brill to see the amazing number of people who showed up to the cleaning riot today in Clapham Junction but they shouldn't have needed to be there in the first place.

Stumbled across a very neat blog this morning! Deapapa by Veronica de Arriba. Love her illustrations and her wonderful fresh take on printed totes!
