Batchel

I'm very much in love with the Cambridge 'Batchel' (£93.00) from the Cambridge Satchel Company
With Spring/Summer (eventually) coming up i should probably be looking and brighter more bolder colours but i cant help but think how classic yet chic the black batchel with my initials embossed on the flap in silver (£5 per letter) would look dangling from my arm, eeeeeeek i get giddy just thinking about it! the only off-putting thing is, it takes an estimated 30 days for it to be delivered! i appreciate it takes time and effort to craft such a beautiful thing ;) especially as each bag is made to order but come one, when i want it need it i want it right there and then. Le sigh.

Ps. Is it just me or does the Vintage Brown look 'blacker' than the actual black batchel? hmph

Stay out and we'll live forever

I was a little bit ditzy this morning, i thought id take some quick snaps before braving the snow so there i was clicking away when i went to check the state of the pictures when i realised i hadn't replaced my SD card in the camera!... big waste of time. However, luckily for you, you missed me sporting a shockingly jokerish mouth! i purchased ELF's classy hoping for a dupe of MACs Angel, I'd heard and seen great things but well now I'm very a little sceptical, I've owned Angel but lost it (more than likely amongst my floordrobe!) hence the purchase.
 When i applied Classy i somehow managed a purpley pink hue even after using a lip primer? how others were donning the baby pink colour after using this is beyond me. I quickly replaced the monstrosity with Rimmels Nude Delight a much loved favourite and a swipe of Rimmel Stay Glossy in Non-stop Glamour.
Anyhow, this wasn't supposed to be a review of Classy, proof i can ramble even on a laptop... so on with the OOTD.




Shirt (just seen) - Republic
Cord skinnys - H&M
Wax Jumper - H&M
Faux Fur Coat - New Look
Rings -  Green stoned ring / Market & Button ring / Pepper Pod Designs (Owned by my mother dearest)
Nails - Bio Sculpture Gel / Marshmallow

Denim shirt: DIY (Once upon a time was a Primark shirt dress)
Jeans: Topshop 'Kristen'
Loafers: Topshop

Hi lovelies
I'm cheating a little with this OOTD as it was taken a few days back when it wasn't absolutely freezing (I cant believe we've actually got snow here today!) but i never got the chance to upload it!
I know I've been slacking on the blogging side of things,  but after working all day at a computer its understandable that the last thing i want to do is whack on the laptop right ? forgive? :) Anyhow I'll try to be better (and not post for the sake of posting!)
I hope you all have a fabby weekend x

In love with pearl

 


Images: Weheartit.com
Seeing Laura's post over at buy now, blog later slightly rekindled my love of such delicate and pretty jewellery (especially pearl rings) and Etsy is definitely the place to seek out such beauties!  You can almost definitely find something on there to fall in love with. Although i very rarely buy from Etsy, (apart from a gold plated side-ways cross which i adore) i usually trawl through the pages of OOAK pieces of jewellery mainly to swoon over but then i spotted these

 Ive seen similar pieces in Magnolia but in my opinion they can sometimes be seriously overpriced for what they are. These are both so pretty and at around £30 surely i cant be denied of them?
Which do you prefer, if any at all?

Birdsong

I'm quick off the mark to label Eddie Redmayne my 2012 all time crush! Move over R-Patz (well, not completely... just make a little room)
I can assure you I've never changed my Iphone wallpaper so quickly! Gah total swoonage ;)
Apart from Birdsong gracing my screen with total hotness, its a gripping drama that sent me a little weak at the knees! I cant deny that I'm a sucker for an epic love story and with it being set in the First World War, plenty of tears are assured.
Sunday is officially the day to fall in love, you need to watch this.

Insp. #Cut offs

Thats it now, im over it... having dodged death by rain pour today i've decided im ready for summer, heck i id even settle for a bit of Spring time.





Bit of a grouch today as it was my first day back at work after 2 weeks of lazing around, eating lots of yummy food and watching old movies. I really didn't want to venture in to the rain/sleet/hale blizzard that was going on outside! but hey ho the day went by pretty quickly even if i did spend it looking like a drowned rat sporting a quiff gone wrong hiding in the corner!
Anyhow, much to my delight i arrived home to a pair of light wash vintage Levis which i oddly enough ordered mid december time.
I guess sunshine aint coming anytime soon, so, I suppose for now i can pair them with thick tights and cable knits whilst i patiently await the arrival of warmth created by the SUN!... remember that kids? I assure you, its amazeballs.
