Paper Hermes Jewellery!

Now we can all afford a little bit of Hermès in our lives with these amazing paper cut out bracelets on their website! Ok, so maybe not quite as chic and fabulous as the real thing but a fun little project...

Happy Bank Holiday!

Hello lovelies!

At last my Diana Camera has arrived so I'm off out today to take lots of dreamy shots of my lovely Camden. Hope you're having a good bank holiday weekend!

Here's what has been inspiring me this past week...

Amazing Diana Photos (like the one above)

mmmm lollypop pies

Anyone for Brunch

padded frames -A cool way to store my brooches

I want this Woman to decorate my flat!

I'd love to receive a letter with these chocolate stamps

Beautiful old church conversion

Umbrella skirts - Wacky or Cool? or Both

A room for my clothes to be happy in...

I'm loving this room so much! it reminds me of the closet that Big makes for Carrie.


I can't even decide what I love most about it:


The shoe compartments?
The velvet chair?
The Chandelier?
The slick white fittings?


I want it all and now!




Swoon....

This makes me smile from ear to ear!

My first blog love...

Many Blogs give me so much inspiration and ideas, it's safe to say I'm officially addicted to this world! But I wanted to share with you one of my favourite sites (which also happens to be the first one I followed).

My Life - My Loves continues to amaze me on a daily basis. The very talented Sharnel is the hostess with the mostess and is most definately the queen of cupcakes! Her parties make me want to host one myself immidiately. Every detail is thought about and presented with the greatest love and attention.

Today with great excitement, I learned she also has a cupcake blog, 'The cupcake company'. If only I lived in Brisbane, I'd be her best customer! oh well, at least the site alone is a treat for the eyes.

A weekend of R&R

Well my attempt at getting fit this week has left me with many pulled muscles so this weekend I plan to take it easy and enjoy doing nothing! Prepare for many many posts.

I think I'll indulge in a Mad Men marathon...

I'm so in love with this show. It's oozes coolness. I want to be Joan, or Betty, or Peggy! Or just all of them rolled into one.

Bell Jars

I've always found bell jars fascinating. There's just something creepy yet beautiful about them. Maybe they just remind me of old victorian houses and things being trapped inside. Anyway enough of me being grim! this was supposed to be a nice post. I think these images below are beautiful.

Happy Friday

Friday at last! and hopefully with a bit of luck the sun will shine. I'm going to spend my weekend rooting through my local charity shops for records I can make into bowls.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend whatever you're up to.

Here are just a few of the things that have been inspiring me this week...

I can't wait to send my first Benevolent Postcard.

Another beautiful garden party wedding.

This Wedding blog reads my mind

Isn't everygirl's favourite colour Tiffany's blue?

I'd love to paint a blackboard on a whole wall in my flat.

I love the idea of using old photographs as wall paper.

These cushions would love to live in my flat.

Let's paint everything pink

There's certainly no hassle in making these delicious hasselback potatoes

A cool way to divide the space in my studio

How cute are these cards by NattyMichelle?!

Yummiest treats i've seen all week!

We all need more macarons in our lives! and these ones come in such lovely packaging.

Staycation in a Beach Hut please...

Summers nearly over (when did it start?! I hear you say) and yet i'm still day dreaming about getting away for a holiday. Vacations are out apparently, everyone in my office is talking about the 'Staycation'. Which got me thinking, if I was to holiday somewhere in the UK what would I do? Well, hiring one of these lovely beach huts would be one fabulous idea. I just love their kitch charm. If I had my own it would be full of Kath Kitson style florals, bunting and seashells. Lovely!

Hmmm but I just learnt that Huts can cost as much as £160,000! now as much as I love the idea of owning one, even I think that's excessive for what is actually little more than a shed with a view.

Oh but what a view it would be!

Chair lust...

Oh how I'd love a retro velvet lounge chair in my flat. There's just something so 'boudoiresque' about them. They remind me of all the 1960s films I love, I can just imagine Holly Golightly having one in her appartment. One day I'll get one, but in the meantime I'm lusting over these gorgeous little gems...
