hello darkness my old friend

I've been knee deep in all things DIY related this week. Places like B&Q and Homebase feel like home now, and I know more about laminate flooring than any 17 year old girl should! All in the name of making a great shop! I did get some funny looks from builders/plumbers/etc whilst floating around Wickes' in girly skirt and big daisy earrings.

I've been watching old movies and have decided that I would like to be Katharine Ross in The Graduate. Please? Isn't she perfect? I love her innocence and weird sideburns. Anyway, she inspired this outfit. I bought the peasant blouse from a Charity shop, it's a maternity one! You know me, anything loose and embroidered and I'm there. My daisy earrings and belt are vintage things that have been passed down to me. My skirt is also from somewhere like Age Concern. Have I mentioned that a percentage of the profits from my shop will be going to charity? Anyway, lots of love as always. X.

P.S.

I would really love if you entered my giveaway - here! I'm already planning the next one! Roll on 1000 followers I say!

Rainy days

It was rainy and windy today and I had the day off. So I chillaxed in my room watching films, worked on a skirt I'm making and went a little crazy with a lamp and my camera.

And here are a few random facts about me, (because I really haven't told you much about myself):

1. I speak 3 languages (english, french and spanish) - I was brought up all over the place.

2. I am a Gemini and share the same birthday as Bob Dylan (we have the same initials too, freaky non?)

3. My black cat Wink and I have a routine in the morning. First I feed him, then we nestle up together and I stroke his chin.

4. I am starting to collect Sylvanian Families after having repeated dreams set in a life size Sylvanian Family Windmill. The Golightly cat family is my favourite.

5. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to chewing gum.
