Via Meticulous Ink

 Happy National Stationery Week! This is possibly, one of my favourite weird retail weeks' ever!

I have mentioned on more than one occasion that my love of stationery is second to none. I love sending letters to my nearest and dearest and receiving them is always a joy (hint, hint!)

This set from Meticulous Ink, is so cute I could cry.
Using traditional letterpress and printing techniques their note cards, greeting cards and correspondence cards bring the fun back into your letter writing.

My favourite piece is the Honey Bee Correspondence set. It is cute and large enough to send a quick update to your nearest and dearest all over the world.
The paper is heavy, so it is suitable for all pen types and feels luxurious. Who wouldn't want to get one of these beauties in the post?

I am already halfway through all of my letters for the month so I am definitely on my second order!

Until Next week!   

Happy 100!!

YAY!! 100 posts! I cannot believe I have been able to write 100 (well, over 100 if you count all my other pages... go on, check them out here, and here!)

So I thought I would to divulge my favourite style crushes of all time, The chic tastemakers who influence the way I dress, The things I buy and hell, even the way I live. 

I am  going to share my favourites with you so you can agree, disagree, comment & get tips simultaneously .

It'll be a wonderful way to loose yourself in 15 mins of fashion and shopping!

So I may have been a little pre-occupied with getting my house in order of late. I have spent an obscene amount of time lusting after shelves, painting furniture and up-cycling like my life depended on it. I am desperate to have the perfect house and it has slightly taken over my life. 

From Rifle Paper Co

As the need for a perfect home is now a fully fledged obsession; I have spent more and  more of my weekends in Ikea, because I am not made of money and I have to make savings where I can and there are plenty of Pinterest Ikea hacks that make me feel like Martha Stewart on steroids. 

The last time I ventured in (last weekend, I won't pretend) I was on the hunt for a large photo frame to fit this 'London' print from Rifle Paper Co I have been lusting after for months. I left with several clip top jars, a vase and an amazing hallway table. 

The other piece of furniture I saw BLEW MY MIND. 

I have never wanted a piece of home-ware so much in my life

Lacquer Up: Glitter Fade

So, spring has sprung and I fancy some neon glitter nails. 

I love a good glitter fade. They are so much easier to do than an ombré and are just as beautiful. I thought, as it has AGES since my last Lacquer up  I thought I would go for this easy tutorial to get your ready for spring. 

First, after filing and prepping your nails ready for your polish apply your base coat. 

I have used the Save The Nail 'Bridge The Ridge' filling base coat. Apply two coats and allow to dry fully before continuing.

High Street Heroes: April

The sun is out! HOORAY!!

What better way to celebrate than looking at my pick of the early summer finds this month on the high street. I must confess (it's not really a confession) I have been looking forward to the warmer weather for months and months! I am so excited. No more thick woolly scarves, heavy coats and a frozen fingers... I CANNOT WAIT!

I love this skirt from Urban Outfitters. It's light, airy and perfect for spring. I would pair this with an oversized t-shirt (if your are feeling brave try a bright pattern or a contrasting stripe), bare legs and a pair of well loved converse.

The vertical stripe is flattering on all shapes and sizes and perfect to carry you through to summer. This would even look amazing on your holiday, paired with a kimono and your bikini or swimsuit.

 A wonderfully easy and casual outfit for spring... where is the nearest park? I am ready for a picnic in the sun!

Get them before I snag the lot!

From Urban Outfitters 

It is actually warm enough to leave your coat at home... This makes me happier than I care to admit. 

It is an absolute joy to me that spring has FINALLY sprung properly and I am going to celebrate with these beauties from Urban Outfitters. 

It's time for your toes to get a much needed dose of Vitamin D and these are a great addition to a casual wardrobe.

From Browns

When it comes to fashion, sometimes we all take ourselves a little too seriously. Sometimes something comes around that re-enforces the fact that we just need to chill the hell out. This headband from Maison Michel is one of those accessories that brings the fun and frivolity back into fashion.

I love these cute little cat ears. How can you not? Having already established myself as a crazy cat lady (alas, without the cats as my flat is too small - so I guess that just makes me crazy... oh.)  These are the perfect witty addition to any smart and serious outfit.

These would look great with a chic Parisian pixie cut, it would look just as good with an chignon too.
To be honest I think it'll look good and add a touch of whimsy to any outfit!

From Topshop

It's getting warmer and therefore I am actively thinking about sandals, lighter dresses and thinner cardigans.

Because we all need warm thoughts right? These shoes from Topshop are the first on my list! 

Metallics make everything feel summery. Pair with an oversized cardigan and a paper-thin dress with a collar. A winning combination!
These are sandals are perfect for the Easter weekend activities like supervising egg hunts, languid bank holiday brunches and general spring merriment.
