TUESDAY WISH LIST #1

001 the hand written letter project | this book is basically a collection of hand written correspondence and who doesn't love a hand written note? i do.

002 viktor & rolf flowerbomb | i absolutely adore this scent, the bottle is super pretty, agh i just need it on my dressing table! it was the perfume i was wearing in london when matt & i got engaged so it reminds me of that amazing rainy day.

003 korres lip butter | i've never actually tried any of the korres products but i always hear such good things about them and my carmex is due to run out so i need some kind of lovely lip balm to keep on my desk.

004 cath kidston spray flowers beaker | i love these little plastic tumblers for drinking water, pink milk & juice out of, they're so perfect for picnics! hooray for summer!

005 pink sharpie | as an illustrator i'm always in need of a pen of some sort, this pink sharpie is perfect as the colour is super pretty & it writes on everything! even glass! not sure when i'll be writing on glass...

FRIDAY LOVES : GIRLY STUFF

001 Alexa's debut book, IT is everything you'd expect, with it's darling pink cover, pages of selfies, gorgeous illustrations & fashion tips. Go. Get. It.

002. Bobbi Brown, this has been at the top of my wish list for a while now, and although I don't actually own it, it's a high end replacement for my beloved Supercat eyeliner by Soap & Glory, which I still adore, but I'm a girl always looking for the slickest, most liquorice eyeliner.

003 Essie's cleverly named Boom Boom Boom is the sweetest most sugary pink and looks almost as amazing on the nails as it does in the bottle. Like the application and the brush that comes with it.

004 Bobby pins, they are seriously scattered everywhere in my house, even in Matt's car. They disappear and then reemerge as if by magic. But they're so handy and keep my locks firmly in place when I'm drawing or after a vintage inspired 'do.

IT GIRL

Alexa Chung, a favourite icon of mine since my late teens, I'm reading and rereading her pastel pink book 'IT' religiously. Here are some illustrations inspired by her, they're postcard size and lovely to slip into a copy of the latest book by the muse and wrap up as a present, or pop in pretty frames.

MELANCHOLY SKY ♥

Two lovelies I received in the post, I had to add them to my Kirsten Dunst collection. I've wanted to see Melancholia on blu ray for so long and I'm now re-reading The Virgin Suicides, such a beautiful book ♥

quiet time♥

this is the book that fills the early hours of the morning, quiet time where i can slip off into the place where tents are bigger than you think & pretty necklaces aren't always what they seem♥

♥ pretty things

♥ still alot of sticking down but we're nearly there! but what i really want to do is just curl up with a book!

♥ i've been looking at pretty things to start new things for over the summer when all the university work can be put away & forgotten about for abit. i really want to start an etsy shop, i just have to do it, hmmm but what to sell?
