Float on

Woke up this morning to the sun streaming through my window.... makes a nice change to the blare of the alarm clock! So glad that the weather is finally warming up which means Summer is on it's way! 

I'm pretty lucky that I my office is so close the Southbank so my lunchtimes are usually spent sitting by the river and soaking up the sunshine and after work drinks are spent sat outside with a glass of wine. On Thursday we decided to start this tradition early and found a cute little bar along the river and braved the nippy air with a glass of champagne and admired the view. 

Sometimes I love living in London. 

Style Paparazzi Twenty Two

I couldn't resist posting this street style of the girl below... pretty much just for the trousers. They're just perfect. The length... the colour.. the polka dot print! I love how she's teamed it with a matching blue jacket and those cute peep toe sandals. Now hurry up spring - can't have my ankles catching a cold!

Bookworm

So after a long arm of paperwork and references - I'm now officially moving house. I love the little flat I'm in now, but there comes a time when a small single room is not enough. We're also on the ground floor, so moving into a three floor house with all it's stairs is actually getting me quite excited... who knew.

Now for some inspiration for that said room. Wouldn't it be great to have a room just for all your books!

Come and save me

I can't get enough of the debut track from Jagwar Ma. It's got that retro summery vibe that's made me all excited for warmer weather and all those inevitable BBQ's. Please come soon!

Style Paparazzi Twenty One

Ever since I saw that candy coloured Spring/Summer Mulberry campaign, I've been coveting Spring and it's gorgeous pastel palette like nobody's business... I'm drawn to everything from peppermint green to lemon sorbet. (Sounds sickly - but I assure it's not!)

These three girls caught my eye immediately. That fresh minty green hue is right up my street. Whether you team it with neutral basics a la girl one or with trusty denims a la girl three, you're guaranteed a winner of a look. Sweet dreams!

Tyrannosaurus

Every season Sophie Hulme launches a new collectable charm with each purchase, and I was really excited to find out this season it was a dinosaur. The little Jurassic creature also appears in the jewellery pieces as well as a really fun dinosaur lace. I'm in love.

Hollywood Hills

Recently came across these vintage movie posters... with a difference. Illustrator Peter Stults has created alternative posters for some modern days movies, if they had been made during previous Hollywood eras. Stults asked “Who would be in it? Who would direct it? and here's what he came up with....

Introducing...

Just thought I'd share the latest issue of Cellardoor that i've been working on. A lot of late nights and hours spend slaving on indesign have paid off once again. So take a peek and let me know what you think...

Tanked Up

Absolutely love this editorial shot by Viktor Vauthier for Tank magazine. It's making me lust after that floral blazer... badly. I'm also longing to cut off my locks again, that long bob is perfect.

Three's company

I've been an avid reader of Company magazine for a long time, probably long before I should have. I first read it for the grown up articles, seeing as I slowly grew out of the cringe stories from Mizz and the school disco make up tips from Bliss. Other than Ellegirl (RIP!) there wasn't anything else out there satisfied my urge for a good magazine, and all my copies sit proudly amongst the other hoards of mags I have managed to accumulate over the years. 

Last month saw them launch their new redesign, and after getting over the shock of it shrinking in size (I like something to hold on to!) I have to say I'm loving it... from the fresh new feel right down to the new textured paper. And when the March issue was posted through my letterbox  last week it brightened up even the coldest evening. That bright pop of turquoise had me dreaming of my new spring wardrobe!

Are you a Company reader.... what do you think of the new re-design?
