Mini haul: One can never have too many handbags...

  Whilst browsing in Zara today, I kept going back to this one bag. Which obviously meant that I had to make it mine.

Oh, and some lovely shoes as a bonus.

I bought a few other bits, including a beautiful grey chiffon blazer and a feather design bracelet cuff, which I'm sure you will see in upcoming OOTDs shortly.

Do you have a favourite Zara bag? The ever-popular mini shopper, maybe?

Tourist in my own City: Westfield Stratford & Liverpool Street Station

Just a few photos I managed to take a midst the hectic chaos that is Westfield Stratford City and the lovely Liverpool Street. It's not even a weekend! However, I had a wonderful time with my best friends and hope to catch up with them again soon as they're back from uni for the Summer!

DIY Floral Scatter Cushion

Hello sparkly creatures!

Anyone that knows me will know that I have a very creative mind. In other words, I'm not interested unless it's artistic! So, whenever I get a day off from work, I like to reallt make the most of it with some arty adventures!

Since getting my new double bed, I've been left with loads of gorgeous linen for single covers and nothing for it to go on! That's where this idea came in. It was so easy, and only takes some scrap material (such as old bed sheets or pillow covers), a basic knowledge of sewing and a dash of patience thrown in for good measure.

All I had to do was cut out the shapes I needed (slightly larger to make room for hemming) and get sewing! For the stuffing I used the inside of an old scatter cushion that I found in my airing cupboard.

Everything was done by hand as I prefer the final look, and also just knowing how much effort I put in to it. The embroidery isn't essential, of course. I was just feeling very creative, haha! Here's the finished product for you to feast your eyes on (with a little Boo thrown in at the end!).

I had lots of material left over, so I may make some bunting! Goodness knows I don't have enough already...  Oops!

Have any of you got creative this weekend?

Love and sparkles,

Lingerie Autumn/Winter '13 collection favourites...

Fantasie's 'Elodie' in fashion colour Teal. I adore the Elodie and feel like a temptress when I wear it. So believe me, when we get this at work, I will be all over it like a fly to jam.

Freya's 'Ooh la la'. Need I say more? I'm in love. This is a definite Christmas time treat!

Gossard's 'Felicity' in Aqua. Not very AW in terms of colouring, but stunning nonetheless. My love for Gossard is creeping back, the Glossies seem like a distant bad dream.

I'm sure I'll add to this list, but these are the first three that spring to mind. Very Eveden dominated as you can see, but who doesn't love a bit of Freya/Fantasie?

What are you looking out for this AW?

Love and lingerie,

Green hair, don't care...

Some of you may have noticed that my hair is slightly... different than normal. Let me start by saying it was a total mistake. 

I wanted a pale lilac dip dye, and from previous experience with crazy colour, I've found that my hair doesn't grasp it very well. So I chose a bright purple- violette -and hoped for the best. 

To my dismay, the colour really held, leaving me with electric blue hair. I've washed it and washed it to no avail, leaving me with turquoise mermaid hair. However, I'm beginning to grow quite accustom to it.

What do you think?
