Wu me.

I seem to be in the mood for incredibly cheesy puns this evening. Have you seen the beautiful pieces created by Jason Wu? I'm in love. Don't blame me if the same happens to you. 

If I was a creative designer type this would be the type of thing I'd love to do. The colours, the cuts and the textures are gorgeous. Let's call it ladylike with a twist. Not entirely convinced about the fishnet gloves but those can be ignored when there are big sparkly blue dresses to catch the eye.

What do you think?

I like big books and I cannot lie

Winter weekends are so appealing when you know you have nothing to do but get cosy with a cup of tea and a big cardigan wrapped around you. I quite desperately want ALL of the items from this post. The 'big books' bag is just too cute to say no to.

Time to snuggle up and read a few pages of The Book Thief before a ridiculously early night. Life is good.

Is it too early to say it?

I thought I'd share a little secret with you. Well, two actually. Now don't tell anyone but I'm already excited about Christmas. That's right, I said it. I think it's totally acceptable as soon as Halloween and Bonfire night are over with. Now my second secret is a little bit more beneficial for you because it's one of my favourite websites full of goodies...

Mydeco.com is full of so many gorgeous trinkets and presents for the house that you could easily spend an hour on there scrolling through it all. It makes finding gifts much easier for those people who just don't have the time (or patience) to trawl the high street. There's nothing I hate more than a busy street in Winter full of people barging past and coughing in your face! Here are a few favourites taken from the website:

Combining two of my weird loves... teatowels and birds. Odd I know.

Everyone needs a good mug for tea in the winter.

I would put a tealight in this and have it as a cute decoration rather than drinking from it!

Beautiful world map with coloured butterflies.

Wintery glasses

If you know someone who is a bit of a homebody like me and loves to get warm and cosy in the winter with some tea and cake then definitely head to the site and see what you can find. I'd also recommend Urban Outfitters and Matalan for some pretty but quirky pieces.

Which other websites are good to buy presents from?

I'm living on such sweet nothing

I can't stop listening to the new Florence and Calvin Harris song. Pretty sure I'll play it on repeat until I'm sick of it. Something in the lyrics just seems to resonate with me at the moment.

Anyway I've been a busy bee on Polyvore creating some sets of things I really, really want. I think I'm going to need to prioritise or find some much cheaper versions of the things I want.With winter creeping on us, everyone needs some warm boots so I've included some studded lovelies that should do the job. I'm also in need of some flats for work as mine have been ruined by walking through every single puddle I find. It's not big and it's not clever.

And then you have Topshop. I have a love/hate relationship with this shop and always have. You can find much cheaper versions elsewhere on the highstreet but they never seem to be quite of the same quality. Sometimes Topshop is filled with beautiful treasures, quirky pieces and the most lustworthy shoes. However, I've also been in a few times to discover items that only size 6 models can wear successfully. At the moment I'm fully embracing them and all of their offerings. The pieces below are taken from the American shop (dammit Polyvore, do a UK version please) but I'm pretty sure most of them will still be available in the UK. It's like someone asked me what my perfect outfits would consist of and then went and stocked it all in Topshop. I want to own ALL of the things below but I might have to find some cheaper versions or beg Santa for some epic presents this year.

Can anyone direct me towards a UK version of Polyvore? Or cheap versions of the clothes above? Help a damsel in distress! x
