Birthday Wish List

It's my 18th birthday in a matter of days so I've put together this wonderful (an unrealistic) wish list. I know that I am definitely getting one or two if these items because I was with my mum when she bought them for me, but they've been tucked away until my birthday. I've had my eye on some of these things for a while and I'm hoping to get them with any birthday money I get.

1. I tried this out in the shop and it works like a dream! Plus it smells delicious.
2. I am crazy about backpacks and love the detail on this leather one.
3. Recently I've really been into map and globe prints and I like the combination with the leather strap.
4. I love the handmade look of this ring and it's unique design.
5. Another Datter ring, I really like the detail in this ring.
6. Combining my love of butterflies and accessories.
7. I would love to own a polaroid camera one day, and I'm really into the look and magic of instant photos.
8. For the days when I want to be Lana Del Rey.
9. This etsy shop has the most beautiful flower crowns with gorgeous detail.
10. Forever searching for the perfect summer hat.
11. Eager to try a smock dress (perhaps with a small belt) and this one is adorable! Too bad it's currently sold out.
12. I have fallen in love with tiny, delicate silver rings and this moonstone ring looks so beautiful especially with the details.

I have plenty more blog posts lined up, and I've also written a guest post for Georgia from For The Love Of Thrift, check it out here.

P.s. Thanks for the comments on my recent little blog post, I had an amazing holiday and can't wait to share the photos and tell you all about it!

I'm disappearing again...

Hey everyone, I know blogging's been slow again recently, but I just want to let you know I'm going on a road trip to North Wales with the besties for a week. I'd hoped to have had a blog post ready for when I go away but been busy packing and running errands. Anyway, I will definitely take lots of photos and we're bring a camera recorder so hopefully make a little video montage of the trip, it's going to be the best holiday ever!
Until next time xx

P.s. as soon as I get back I'll have to start planning my birthday, which also happens to be my blog birthday too so I'll sort out a little giveaway to celebrate!

Hello again! First of all, a quick but sincere thanks for sticking by me while I took a break from blogging (I'm now on my summer holiday - woohoo!) and thanks for the lovely feedback on my last blog post!
This blog post is about a fellow blogger and illustrator, Anna, who blogs at Annarack. I bought a print from her Etsy shop last week (because I simply couldn't resist the discounts!) and wanted to show you all. Anna was also kind enough to send me an extra print of different yin and yangs - what a treat! Out of all of Anna's illustrations, I particularly love her celestial prints and I could really connect to the quote written with it as I can often underestimate myself and think I'm not good enough. I really love the immense detail in Anna's illustrations, but also the simplicity of them - a black and white print in the middle of a white page, they really stand out on my wall and I'm always glancing up at them.

Go and check out Anna's Esty shop 'Annarack', full of prints, jewellery, and scrunchies, below are some of my favourites.

Let the wild rumpus start!

Happy birthday to Maurice Sendak who would have celebrated his 85th birthday today. He was an illustrator and the author of "Where the wild things are" which happens to be one of my favourite films for those days when I wish I could be little and wild. The film has a perfect combination of nostalgia, childish fun, playful music and, of course, monsters. Besides, who wouldn't want to escape to a far off island and be crowned king of the Wild Things?

Stay with me!

Hello! Remember me? I've been really bad and not blogged in over a month (gasp!) but this is a little note to say that next week I will have finished my exams so please stay with me. Revision has been going badly but then I'd feel guilty if I did blogging instead, so I've been pretty unproductive but from next week onwards I hope to make that up to you and blog my little heart away :)

Thank you
xx
