Doggy delights

I am a total magpie, anything shiny grabs my attention like noones business. Sequins, glitter, precious metals, if it glints in the sunshine, I'm on it. I have a particular pechant for teeny tiny gold necklaces and I have slowly been building my collection. Of course, nothing will beat my name necklace as my ultimate fave but Dogeared comes pretty darn close. I have been collecting these cuties for about 18 months now and I could buy the whole collection up! I lost one last year and I was much more upset than I really should have been. Still am. Makes me well up just thinking about it actually...

I am a Spoiled Brat

Sometimes I like to try and channel that laid back L.A look. I think mainly I am let down by my hair as a glossy mane seems to be a key aspect and I like to wear mine a la Britney mid breakdown and pre head-shaving, i.e, I don't really bother. However, I get by with the clothing and have found no better website for LaLa labels than Spoiled Brat. Thinking waaay ahead to my Bestival wardrobe, Wildfox Couture T's and the CC Skye saftey pin necklace (A-maze) matched with some slashed leggings and and a checked shirt would be my outfit of choice.



Want them all...

Houses not homeware

Spending far too much time looking pretty at homeware, I have just discovered Selettis Daily Aesthetics. Amazing! Top of my list is the milk jug and the cake stand...

If I was a cake, I'd eat myself...

What a lovely weekend. Saturday morning was a blissfull meander around Selfridges Food Hall where I needed no persuasion in the purchase of a couple of Lola's cupcakes, followed by a visit to Liberty. I absolutely adore everything about Liberty, from the fresh Wild at Heart flower stall in the main entrance to afternoon tea in the beautiful ground floor tea room. Much of my delight comes from browsing the accessories floor and the other day was no exception, with the object of my affections being this truly stunning jewellery by Lucy Hutchings.

With another entry on my ever-expanding jewellery wish list noted, I spent the rest of my time indulging in sponge and fondant, reading about how generally wonderful Brandon Flowers is and watching back to back episodes of Gossip Girl.

Up and away!

I am in the process of looking for a new job. Lots of upheaval in the next month or two. However, instead of trawling through the ads to find my dream position I seem to be pouring over a ridiculous amount of design pages finding my dream positioning of bedroom furniture...

These beauties are from the LivingEtc website. I really like uncluttered and simple rooms with a few focal pieces like some beautiful fabric or a statement chair (one of my life ambitions is to own an Eames chair, materialistic, I know).

I'd pretty much be happy with anything from Graham and Green, especially these amazing Jan Constantine cushions and throws.

My first post!

Well, it's taken a while but I have finally got around to making my blog. I'm hoping this is going to be the cyber equivalent of an inspiration scrapbook for myself as well as something other people may stumble across and take pleasure from. So I guess there there is no better place to start than with a few images of things that float my boat...

Firstly, I am truly obsessed with fashion magazine and books. There are few things better than getting your grubby mitts on a new copy of Lula, finding a quiet spot and delving into the deliciously crisp pages of sartorial treats.

Oooh, they're pretty! Anything pink is fine by me. Anything that smells good is equally fine. And of course, it goes without saying that anything that comes out of Luella or Diptyque is more than fine.

Shoes! I'm definitely a shoe girl. Through and through. Of course, there is a huuuge space for bags in my life, but there is just something about a shoe that makes me go weak at the knees.

So there is a little bit about me to begin with.
