LISTENING TO #17

 Great song and great video.



I went to see The Maccabees last year and they were brilliant. This is just the audio of Pelican.


Radiohead. A lifelong love.

COVETING #5

Love Hearts and Crosses is a jewellery shop I discovered through twitter and I'm often on there scrolling through the latest pieces. They're reasonably priced and there's a good mix of simple but quirky items (such as the ones below) and cute, kitsch pieces, ranging from button bracelets to strawberry earrings. My personal taste tends to sway towards big dress pieces which will make an obvious statement but there's definitely something there for everybody. Here are the things I'm currently loving:

HOME SWEET HOME #3

My latest addiction is Pinterest. It's a site similar to weheartit.com and tumblr where you can 'pin' particular items you like and this saves them to several 'boards' on your profile. At the moment I have boards for style, home, places, thoughts, beauty and food. I like the idea of finding things and saving them to look at later. Unfortunately, I like the thought of it so much that I now have three picture accounts for the same kind of thing!

I use Tumblr for art and literature type things but fashion inevitably creeps in.
Weheartit indulges my girlie, daydreaming side and has tons of pictures because it's so easy to 'heart' things.
Pinterest is a more grown-up version of both of these and lots of people tend to use it to get inspiration for future dreams or events. I love looking at interior design on it!

I thought I'd share some of the gorgeous pictures from my 'home' board. You know, for when I win the lottery...

After Eight

My eight favourite finds from Lavish Alice. As you might be able to tell, I love print, polka dots and patterns. All of these tops could easily be worn with skinny jeans and heels for the weekend or smartened up with a pencil skirt and black cardigan or blazer for work. Obviously the sheer red top with sparkly collar might not be quite so appropriate for work but you could put a layer under it and embrace the sparkle if you so wish!

I think if I could only buy one item then I'd have to go for the tribal shirt (top left) because it could be worn with so many things and the print isn't so stand out that it would look odd. It would be nice in summer with denim shorts and tan sandals.

I've been looking for a dropped hem skirt (like the polka dot one above) for ages! I've seen loads of people wearing them on blogs and they look really stylish but also pretty comfy to wear.

Fashion dreaming done for this evening. The blog title was also a little nod to the fact that I've been desperately craving chocolate for about two weeks now and so far I've managed to hold off, apart from the occasional biscuit.

I don't know where this picture originally came from but I do know that it looks tasty! I'm tempted to make some of these brownies as a treat...
