wishful thinking

if i ever got married (read:IF) i think i'd like to have a dress a bit like this. its just so gorgeous.

from very (£120.00)

bohemian rhapsody

1. from me to you // 2. stockholm streetstyle //3. spell & the gypsy // 4. ME

i really didn't want to use the word 'boho' but i didn't know how else to describe these dresses, they're not to everyone's taste but i just love them & how effortless they are to wear. i always get compliments when i wear mine (even if it is from 5 year old girls!)

aubin & wills lookbook

i am completely in love with this lookbook from aubin & wills, i had to stop myself posting all the photos, it does help that they feature the lovely alex james though.

spring thing

1. olsen's anonymous // 2. tuula //3. screengrabs from 'beginners' if you haven't seen it you must, anna wears the prettiest kimono robe i've ever seen

reasons to be cheerful

yes another new pair of boots // £4.99 from thames hospicecare 

pepe jeans denim jacket // £4.50 from sue ryder

in other news i'm going to paris bitches! well in march i am. i haven't been in about 10 years and eurostar have a £59.00 return deal on so i thought why the hell not? 

mia christiana /// stylelikeu

see her video & the rest of the photos on stylelikeu website. i don't really know how i feel about some of the videos on the stylelikeu website, as much as i love nosing around people's wardrobes when you hear the people talk, most of the time they just end up sounding really pretentious and contrived. or maybe that's just me.

recent buys

sorry about quality of the photos, i don't have anybody to take them for me and my camera isn't very good inside without flash

rubbish stories by roseanna clare

you know when you begin telling a story to someone and then halfway through you realise it's actually really boring and you wish you'd never brought it up? well roseanna clare collected a load of stories her friends made her suffer and wrote them all in a sketchbook and added artwork to them. i'm ashamed to admit that the second one was my contribution..

the one's that got away

these are just three many pieces of jewellery i wish i owned but alas are too expensive and/ or are sold out. 

exhibit a) tom binns safety pin earrings (too expensive)

exhibit b) iwona ludyga skull bracelet (too expensive & sold out)

exhibit c) low luv x erin wasson bone hoop earrings (went down to £15 and sold out, i'm kicking myself)

p.s. apologies for my awful picture editing skills, i dunno i kinda like it scrappy?

lazy weekend

lots of cat snuggling, cosy jumpers and grey's anatomy. one of my news years resolutions was to take more photos for my blog so here's a start! other resolutions include reading more books, to get a new job and to finally make it to paris to see pauline! 

because brown elbow patches are so last year

made in chelsea

i love a pair of boots, (i think its in my genes - my mother is a self confessed boot whore), but more specifically chelsea boots. My housemate would grow increasingly frustrated everytime i acquired a new pair as his small boy brain failed to comprehend how this pair was so different to a pair i already owned (heel height! this pair go further up my leg! they were on sale!). at this point in time i am looking to add a patterned pair to my wardrobe so here's a few pairs that have recently made me drool (not really! maybe a bit!)

velvet pair / asos / £85.00

black & leopard print suede / office / £95.00
brocade (i'm aware these aren't strictly chelsea boots) / asos / SALE £35.00
pony hair leopard print / ebay / £27.99 - i would genuinely buy this pair if my size was in stock

please please let me get what i want

i want this dress from jarlo so much! if only i had £60+ to blow on it, i would pair it with lacey socks and my office frightener clogs.

summer now?
