Summertime Sadness

I can't believe it's now September. Summer has well and truly passed me by. Felt like posting some much needed prettiness here, to cheer me up.

note to self - festival favs

Festival season is well and truly upon us! Wheeeey. I'm off to Lovebox, thanks to my ever so wonderful bestie, in three weeks time. Lovebox for me, is the perfect festival - because there is no camping required. I'm not a massive camping fan - well, I like it, but I don't like it if I am required to look festival ready. Camping to me, means: roll out of tent, and embrace the non showered, no make-up, unkempt look. This is not the look one goes for when attending a music fest.

Anyway! Lovebox is a two day-er, in East London, which means plenty of time to get ready. I love working out my outfits for this kind of thing - I love a bit of festival crazy. Or any given chance to look a bit peculiar.
I've been scouring Etsy for some gems, as I am trying to avoid the highstreet shops as much as possible, in order to not look like a clone. Having said that, I've seen a really awesome feather gilet from Topshop I really want, but I know for a fact at least 82 other people will be wearing this at Lovebox, ha. Damn you Topshop!
I've ordered an awesome statement necklace from the USA off of Etsy, pretty excited about that, will post a picture when it arrives.
I'm thinking I might make a real flower headpiece, but I feel this look is a bit overdone these days? I've also been searching high and low for the perfect two piece, they're perfect for festivals. I haven't found the right one for me (I am a 5ft 11" giant) so might have to go with a playsuit - I'm loving these this summer! As for make-up, aren't these eye-looks beautiful! Why can't every day be a festival!?

So exciting :)

note to self: home details

What is with all black and white everything? The Scandinavians do this look so well and I want to too. It's just timeless and classic, and you can apply this absence of colour to your wardrobe too.

I need these in my life. Until I actually came across gold "silver" wear it hadn't actually crossed my mind that pretty much all eating utensils in the world are silver in colour. How awesome is this gold set? A necessary quirk needed in every kitchen, I must have! I can't find exactly where this particular range is from, but I've fround similar versions by Anthropologie, Cutipol and Bibe Odette.

I am lucky in that my lovely other half is a very skilled Electrician. Because of this I am currently dreaming up all sorts of extravagant and peculiar lighting arrangements, which he'll very kindly put in to working order for me. Lighting can be dull (ha ha - good one) so why not hunt down some crazy bulbs and be a bit wacky with it? I love this silver dipped one shown above, but I love these Crystal Cut Glass Bulbs by Lee Broom even more. £100 for one bulb is a tad excessive and said Lovely Eliectrician may refuse to have anything to do with them...

Ah yes, this beloved little bandwagon. Last year I bought some beautiful little cactus and succulents from a man at Newbury Show. He didn't understand my enthusiasm, but was very passionate about his little gems and was happy to see they were going to a good home. Having said that, I attempted to re-pot a few and they promptly died. How rude. 

What home details are you currently loving?

hair inspo.

I do love a bit of hair inspiration. I used to change my hair colour/style literally every month when I was younger (see evidence here and here!). I'm not sure whether this personal fad has diminished due to age or maybe because my hair couldn't cope with it anymore. Actually, thinking about it - it would be the latter. Given half the chance I would go pink again.
I went to my friends salon at the weekend, had a trim to a just past shoulder length, which saw the last of my colour go. I now officially have no dyed colour in my hair, my hair is a natural light brown/my own hair colour for the first time since I was 14. Crazyness!

I'm already itching to go back to being blonde.

let's stay home.

Excuse me while I empty my "interior inspo" folder that's sitting on my desktop. Just dreamy.

Do you dream in black and white?

Monochrome will always be winner. Everything is just so gorgeous in black and white! I think most of the prints in my shop are heading this way, I just can't seem to will myself to add colour! Maybe it's just a phase.
I am also loving the backwards cap look. Á la grumpy teenage boy. I think I'll going to rock this look on holiday. Cocktail in hand. Tres chic. haha

Drink More Gin art print is all up in my shop. The perfect summer gift! - to yourself. ha! go on... :)
