get in the mood

I had a huge collection of mood rings when I was younger - I thought they were magical. So seeing these new lipsticks from Urban Outfitters made me extremely happy. The set includes 5 pastel shades with names like temper, Melancholy, Clarity, Vain, and Lust to correspond to your mood. The lipsticks goes on sheer and then slightly changes colour. They sort of remind me of My Little Pony, and what girl didn't love them.

Merry Christmas

Wow... I've not been on here for a while and I've gained a few more readers. Merry Christmas to you all. 

I've had a quiet one this year, but who doesn't love spending time with the family watching crappy TV and eating your weight in Black Forest Gateau! 

I was a lucky girl this year as Santa brought me a little iPod touch as well a cute vintage looking watch, a cable knit jumper, tan satchel and a new portable hard drive. Thanks big guy. 

What did you all get? I Hope you all had a great day and stuffed yourselves silly.

I'm loving the latest video from Topshop, especially that red lippy. They've gone for a decadent look with beaded dresses and toughened up with chunky knits and lace up boots and I adore all of it. 

I know where I'll be spending my money come the January Sales. 

Moomins

After seeing that silly facebook game where everyone changed their profile picture to an image of their favourite childhood television character, it got me thinking back to who mine would be. 

I was a bit of a TV junkie and would watch pretty much anything that was on, but usually favouring a bit of Nickelodeon - Rugrats, Sister Sister or Aaaargh Real Monsters anyone?

However, one programme that really got me excited was the Moomins. Those strange hippo like animals - what even were they - used to have me fixed to the box. I even had numerous videos and a mug to match. 

What was yours?

Let Them Eat Cake

Those Wildfox girls are geniuses. I love all their look book images and this one is no exception.... it may even be my fave. The Marie Antionette inspired shoot is so perfect, I want to be a Wildfox Girl. Please. 

Chelsea Magazine

I received the fabulous second issue of Chelsea Magazine in the post a few weeks ago and I can't tell you how happy I was. It's everything I had imagined it to be and they even sent some cute badges and some postcards.

This issue includes some cute illustrations of cats wearing wearing Luella and Miu Miu and there's even a 'Heathers' inspires accessory shoot. I suggest you go and get your own copy too.

Leighton I love You

I am completely in awe of her in these images, she looks stunning. I'm definitely not jealous... not one little bit...

Atlantic City

I recently stumbled across the following song from Emma's blog and haven't stopped listening to it since. The song originally by Bruce Springsteen is performed here by Kyle from Typhoon and and Danielle is from the band Congratulations. There's just something about the dreamy vocals and tinkling guitar chords that draw me into my own little world. So just press play and enjoy.

Oh my clumsy heart

I'm a sucker for cute hand made zines so after seeing these on Sophie's blog I fell in love. She's even holding an amazing giveaway so you can win the chance to own one along with a limited edition gocco screen print, badges, handmade confetti, two pinhole art cards, and a customised moleskine cahier notebook. I need these all in my life. So what are you waiting for...

Cellardoor

The new issue of Cellardoor is now out and I think it's my favourite so far. Each issue is based around the new season and Autumn for me is the one I love more than the others....

Whilst studying journalism at uni I discovered I really loved designing the pages more than writing copy and I love that I get to spend most of my time doing just that.
