Toast. Yum.

I like the kind you eat for breakfast with strawberry jam or home-made marmalade, or lunch with butter and scrambled eggs on top, I also like this kind of Toast which is inedible but equally as yummy...

Knit one, pearl one...

Lovely, cosy looking cardi from Topshop's 'Highland Fling' collection. I like the dusky pink colour. It also reminds me of The Edge of Love quite a lot, so at the moment, I'm thinking about it with knee socks, a tea dress and my navy wellies...!

Noa Noa


It's raining outside and I've just been on another fantasy shopping trip, ie. adding lots of pretty clothes to my virtual basket and pretending that I could actually afford to click 'proceed to checkout' afterwards...ahhh...Anyway, I thought the photographs from Noa Noa's Autumn/Winter 09 Lookbook were just lovely and needed sharing. (Oh, and if you needed any inspiration for layering pieces this winter, then look no further!)

Totally addicted to...

Floral print! I just can't help myself! Here's another new dress I got from a vintage shop in York, I'll do an outfit post sometime soon because it's got the sweetest peter-pan collar.

I must however, make a concious effort to work some more casual pieces into my wardrobe. I could start with a couple of t-shirts. I have blouses, but not actual t-shirts...well, I do have a few basics, but these ones from Urban Outfitters are perfect because I can't bear to be in anything too plain, and they always have some with pretty motifs and details.

Here is the little cat I drew today, I was quite pleased with him, so I thought I'd post his picture on here :) I used to hate working with soft pastel, but i used a cotton bud to neaten this up a bit after I had finished and it turned out to be
quite a good little trick!


Oh, I also wanted to post a picture of this adorable purse I got in Accessorize (like the earrings, in the sale!) the other week, I've liked the various union jack printed tops and totes that appeared in Topshop and Boden this summer but I felt this little purse was just right for me because it was made from a patchwork of my favourite type of print...floral! hehe..


Ok, last thing...Why oh why has it taken me so long to discover this new type of Vaseline?! Its so yummy smelling and gives your lips a nice pinky tint. I love it!

I can't help but think I probably need a head of wild, wavy hair to carry off these beauties (which are almost brushing my shoulders) but for 1/2 price in the Accessorize sale, I couldn't just leave them hanging there...!

Pretty Things ♥


Another fairly pointless post...just some lovely floral fabric I found in the charity shop, the ruffley neck detail on one of my jumble sale dresses and some perfect little brogues I picked up in New Look (of all places!) for £15, success!


I've being feeling a little uninspired recently and wondered if there's much point in keeping this blog if I can't even be bothered to post regularly, but I have been busy altering some things for my future Etsy store and I took pictures the other day too, so I've got a few ideas for some more interesting posts now.

lovely lovey and so comfy!

Dresses






I found these two beauties at the last jumble sale I went to, I just love both of the prints, although I'm going to have to shorten them a little bit! Apart from that, they're perfect, just the kind of thing I dreamt of finding...(I got the bags from the sale too!)
