Don't sit down cos I moved your chair

I came across the Kiwi designer Juliette Hogan and instantly fell in love.  Her new collection 'The Morning After The Night Before' has a cute sixties feel with a fresh neutral palette. It's like she's got inside my dreams and created my perfect wardrobe.

Book Worm

I love these embroidered Penguin Classic covers by Jillian Tamaki. She's one talented lady, I'm so in awe of the intricate craftmanship.. they're beautiful.  I guess sometimes it's ok to judge a book by it's cover...

Style Paparazzi Fourteen

A bit of a departure from the spring outfits I've been lusting over recently, but I couldn't resist this girls gorgeous skirt. Not only is it the perfect shade of green, but I love the unusual textured pattern and the pointed edge. It flows really well with the all the different shades of grey ... and is that a cow on her jumper? Oh and who says you can't mix gold and silver, eh. 

Skinny Love

Can't stop listening to this cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love by Birdy. It's simply beautiful. Nuff said. 

you look nice today

Everyone loves getting a compliment, it helps to keep a smile on your face... it's the little things. Which reminds me that I found this DIY bunting from How about Orange It's a really nice idea... especially if you're like me and you're not-a-crafty-person-but-want-to-be. 

So what are you waiting for.... go and tell someone how great they are!

Summer heights high

After spending the last few lunchtimes soaking up the sun - it felt more like August out there today! - I've been dreaming up my wardrobe for the summer months. Then I came across these images for the new Primark collection and know where I'm going to head first!

They've got all the new season trends covered from colour blocking to fruit prints. I've got my eye on that lemon print dress, which is a dead ringer for this Moschino number.  

Style Paparazzi Thirteen

Spring has well and truly sprung, I've even ventured out of the house without a coat on this week! So when I came across this snap of Sunday Girl over at Jills blog, I got excited about all the new spring/summer trends all over again. I don't think I'm brave enough to wear this floral trousers, but gosh doesn't she look fab! I love the muted colours of the outfit, they're just on the right side of colourful without being too in your face. I'm now coveting a lilac shirt!

Typo

I'm a bit of a typography geek, so was really inspired by these prints by Teagen White.

The first one is a little bit creepy, there's just something a bit weird about hair... but it looks amazing! One very talented lady!

Style Paparazzi Twelve

Just a quick one this week, and it was quite an easy one to pick. What first caught my eye was her gorgeous lip colour. I've always been a bit too scared to try a daring lip colour, but I've recently taken the plunge and bought a lovely cherry/plum colour much the same as hers and am just waiting to find the perfect outfit to pair it with.  Now on to her dress, and I've only got one thing to say. The colour is just perfect and look at those pleats. Ok, that's two things. Get in my wardrobe now!

The cult of beauty

I am in total awe of these photo's from How To Spend It and can't believe I haven't come across them sooner. Shot at the V&A’s Green Dining Room,  I love how this editorial captures the beauty of Rosseti's paintings and how grown up does Ginny Weasley look!
