Daydreaming...

I'm not currently earning a wage until my job starts in September, but that doesn't mean a girl can't dream, right?
When I'm not working on my online shop, I do tend to daydream about clothes...shoes...bags...and more clothes! The ever revolving cycle of 'I'm bored of my clothes, I'm bored of my style', which is insanely frustrating :) So I thought I would vent some of that frustration into a very pretty blog post.


This super cute feminine chiffon top from American Apparel

These mega skinny high-waisted jeans from American Apparel

Ahh so cute! This is one of those 'I need it in my life' garments.
Bunny print dress from Topshop

I've been toying with the idea of getting some more sophisticated looks in my wardrobe.
This gorgeous drape dress from Topshop is perfect.
And for those cooler summer nights, this cosy angora-mix cardi from Topshop.
A nice change from the nude-coloured shoe trend. 
These gorgeous caramel patent heels from Topshop.

I love these boots with summer dresses and ankle-length trousers!
Great leather ankle boots from ASOS.
This awesome wee briefcase from ASOS!

I'm considering starting vlogging after reading some articles about how many people blog versus how many vlog, and how big the audience for vlogging is. It's something I think I might experiment with over the next few days and see if I can stand the sound of my own voice!

Dream Wardrobe - Workwear!

Firstly, I have some super awesome news - I've got a job! From September I will be working in the Christmas Shop in Liberty's in London - amazing fun, I can't wait to start! I thought I would put together my professional wardrobe 'staple' pieces (...and clothes I want) as well as a few accessories in celebration - and also to somewhat feed my lust for shopping!









I've always wanted a Paul's Boutique 'Maisy' bag, especially the hot pink Barbie one! But I felt the grey was fun yet professional :)
I'm also going to put together a make up look as make up is another one of my passions - and something I can't wait to spend my wages on, hehe!

White Rabbit Threads Promo Video!


Check it out, folks! My awesome boyfriend helped me shoot/edit this wee promo film for my Etsy shop - isn't it so sweet? The song is 'We Are Going To Be Friends' by The White Stripes - it also heavily features in Napoleon Dynamite, I thought it was such a lovely message for my wee shop :)

I've been working away to much on the shop that I've brought my wrist injury back so I'm taking a little day off from crafting and spending it on blog work! Also, I have a couple more items to list so keep an eye out for them later on today.

Re-brand

This weekend I will be working on rebranding my blog/etsy. Things have gone a little stale while I've been at uni the past year and now that I'm (almost) officially a graduate (just waiting for those results!), I've got a lot more time on my hands.
I've got a vague plan in my head of what I want to do with the blog, I've actually started making a list of post ideas so I shouldn't go more than a few days without an update (yiy). The biggest new thing will be some videos, my boyfriend is a cameraman so we thought it would be really fun to incorporate our passions, the videos will be "instructional" videos about cooking, baking and crafting. I'm thinking about working my way through the projects in the pattern magic books, which will be challenging but fun!
I've also got some cute little ideas for my etsy, I'm looking at branching out into clothing, and perhaps even opening a second shop for vintage clothing, so keep an eye out for updates on that!


For now I'll leave you with some of my favourite inspiring images from this week;

I love the collar/neck bow <3

Just love the shape, and the subtle clash of floral print on stripes

Organisation! The colours and details are gorgeous.

Billie Turnbull for Select Model Management

Love the creepy/cute factor

Graduate Collection!

Hello Blog! I have seriously neglected this little space of the web over the past few months, but the good news is - I've finished my degree!! Out into the very scary world now :)

Here's some pictures of my collection from Catwalking.com -







It was inspired by the Riot Grrl movement and is made from a mixture of silk, latex and (well-sourced!) leather. I doubt I've worked harder in my life than I have in the past few months, but amazingly it has just inspired me to start up my own label - so watch this space! My initial plan is to get a job which will pay the bills and work hard on my Etsy again, I would also like to do a masters degree. There are so many things I want to do but now I'm going to relax for a few days before I make a plan!
