Stunning Colour Inspiration

Posted by Lucy on May 14th, 2013

How beautiful is this image from Style Me Pretty? As soon as I saw it I knew I had to pick out some of the stunning colours and create an inspiration pallette. This would be a lovely wedding theme or an interior design idea for your home, and it just looks fabulous as a bouquet just as it is. Plus, don’t these colours just make you crave summer along with all its florals and colourful shades?

Gabrielle Aplin on this Monday in May. This new song, Panic Cord, is just lovely and I highly recommend Gabrielle and her new album, English Rain.

And here we are in mid May, and every now and again we’re starting to see some warmer, sunnier weather. Here is what’s been happening over the past month or so, according to my Instagram photos.

Style Saturday: Leather (or Faux)

Posted by Lucy on May 11th, 2013

Leather, or faux leather, is like denim in that there is at least one item in every store you go in that is made from it, and it’s another super versatile fabric that can be used for most pieces. Dresses, tops, trousers, jackets, it comes in all shapes and sizes and is often paired with other materials to create the most unique and gorgeous things. I know some people are likely to be a little afraid of adding leather pieces to their wardrobes, as it can be a bit edgy, but the examples below are a more subtle selection of choices. Today’s Style Saturday is in celebration of leather in all its clothing forms, as I’ve picked out some of my favourite pieces from a few online stores.

Style Saturday: Leather

1. Black PU Skater Skirt; 2. Snake Leather-look Dress; 3. Imitation Leather Biker Jacket; 4. Black v bar flapover clutch; 5. Trousers; 6. Nails Inc Leather Effect Nail Polish; 7. Black Cut Out Peep Toe Block Heel Ankle Boots.

500 posts

500 posts

Another day, another fabulous milestone that we’ve achieved with this little blog here. This is our 500th post guys! Gosh, that seems like such a big amount, especially thinking back to 2 years ago when we were just starting out and didn’t know where this would go. We’ve seen the post numbers go up, along with our readers, and we are super happy to be at this point two years down the line. We now manage to post every day, weekends included, so hitting a mark like 500 posts means we’re obviously heading in the right direction. I hope you’ll stay with us for the next 500 posts, and the next 500 after that. Who knows how long this place will last, but we plan on sticking around for a while yet!
