WE SINK




Hello lovelies, just a quick update on life lately, summer days, always carrying a huge bottle of water around with me, family barbecues in the sunshine, wedding plans, exciting emails and being asked to be a bridesmaid for my best friend, it's been quite a week! I'd love to share some advice & wedding planning posts over at natashalikestea so definitely keep an eye out on there for updates.

Hope you're all having a wonderful summer, looks like it's here to stay! I can't lie I am totally looking forward to it being socially acceptable to wear tights with dresses, I'm in no way a summer person, but I am thankful for all of the light nights, the open windows with floral breezes coming in, the fact you can eat ice lollies in bed, pretty sandals & teddy bear ice cream cones.

FRIDAY LOVES: BLACK VELVET

Untitled #50


It's Friday, hooray! It's another long weekend which is super lovely! Lots of catching up to do, I feel like I need to go on fast forward and speed everything up to be on top of everything. These are all the things I'm coveting this sunny Friday.

001 This is totally out of my price range, cos it's Meadham Kirchoff, but I adore black velvet dresses *especially* when they have an added Winona-Ryder-in-anything-Tim-Burton-esque look about them.

002 Barbie plasters, sooo '90's and I love them! I like to switch up between Disney Princess & all the cool ones you can get from UO.

003 Super cute dolly shoes, I like that they're white as I'm really into the monochrome wardrobe atm, but I fear I would get these so dirty so quickly, a girl can dream.

004 Black velvet cherry lip scrubb, 'buff said.

005 Vitamin water in the colour of all my weheartit collection, haha.

SHE LAUGHS LIKE GOD, HER MIND'S LIKE A DIAMOND


After seeing all the amazing gowns at the Golden Globes this year I had to illustrate my favourites. I had to include Jennifer Lawrence in Dior as she's one of my favourite actresses and after seeing American Hustle this past weekend she confirmed how awesome she is.

Here's a clip to one of my favourite scenes from the film

What were your favourite looks from the Golden Globes?

WE MIGHT BE HOLLOW, BUT WE'RE BRAVE


Loving all the dresses worn by all the beauts at the Golden Globes, did you lovelies have any favourites? I adore Kaley Cuoco's floral gown, Jennifer Lawrence's simple but elegant attire, gorgeous sequin detailing on Zooey Deschanel's dress and the vibrant super girly number worn by Lena Dunham. I've started a collection of illustrations inspired by all these lovely ladies, including a few more and they may even appear in the shop.

LOVELY DRESSES ♥ ♥ ♥





some of my favourites from Topshop at the moment, which i'm ordering monday when i get pennies- Mustard dress with beautiful vintage embroidery is adorable and effortless, a nautical navy t shirt dress would be perfect for ice lolly eating and pebble skimming on hot summer's days and the fifties style chambray dress with leather belt is super lovely for late drinks after work when the sun is still peeking over rooftops. The pretty coral nail varnish is called No Love Lost and it's a colour I'd wear all summer long ♥

i spent my halloween indoors, after a short walk amongst the loveliest autumn leaves. we had sweets, pop and a huge stack of halloween films to get through. eventually we sifted through the over gory ones and the day was filled with sleepy hollow, edward scissorhands and to finish off practical magic. hope everyone's halloween was lovely! ♥

♥ monday ♥


I didn't make any drawings today because I was preoccupied with being ill. I stayed in bed til late this morning, the light was still left on so I must have been tired- I never sleep with the light on. I need another big bottle of botanical strawberry and aloe vera spring water, it was probably the best thing I've bought this past week. I still have some left, can't bring myself to throw it away.


♥ I watched Hallam Foe this morning, it was weird and I especially hated the whimsical little title animation where the little bird starts eating up all sorts of nasty little things. I didn't like that. I found some more pearl earrings today though which made up for it. I'm going to order some more tea- some english breakfast tea. I had earl grey earlier while I was waiting in the chair that I can't curl up in.
I have my new brief which I haven't really looked over yet, but it doesn't seem that complicated. Matt bought me a lovely hello kitty with a pink dress and pink bow I've wanted for a while now. And he gave it me this afternoon. That cheered me up. Ness gave me a lovely tin sign that says 'Cheer Up Honey Pie' I keep smiling everytime I look at it- it's magic, it really works! I need those kinds of little things in my life, they mean alot to me.

♥ old fools project illustration ♥ twenty tiny fingers illustration ♥ jollity farm illustration
♥ I hate living here right now- I want to take Matt and move out to somewhere that has a bath and sash windows. That's all. And a little study to do my work in at a proper desk. That would be good. The computer is a monster it takes over and I just can't cope with a little tv table anymore.
♥ I'd really like to sleep in this tonight


♥ And then slip these shoes on and do the housework tomorrow morning



♥ but i can't stand in heels

♥ iridescent sparkles






Since being quite poorly I thought I'd post some things that have cheered me up these past few days. Tuesday night I watched My Bluberry Nights with Matt in the flat all wrapped up and then we had some leftover chocolate torte- yes I know it wasn't blueberry pie and homemade vanilla icecream but it did sort of fit in with the theme. I liked the soundtrack so maybe I'll buy it in January when I have enough money.





This is a sample of one of the shirts I've been wanting to get from Norwich when I go again, to wear with some comfy black jeans that I already have and it'd be perfect as there's no loose sleeves to get in the way of drawing and making things as I do this everyday. Artbox have got some gorgeous stuff on their website and there's a little shop up Steep Hill that sells all these little artbox nicknacks and other lovely little things that prove hard to find. It has a little blue door and blue windows and Me and Ness can't resist popping in there to have a little peak whenever we have a spare five minutes ( or in our case a spare afternoon!) I'm in the middle of designing a sublte little card to congratulate Ness on moving to a new house and being all lovely and grown up.



It's breaking my heart that there's so many pretty dresses at the Topshop online sale and they're only size 6 or 8 or worse Out Of Stock, three little words I hate. They make me all tearful. I don't think am gonna post any now that I like. Shoes, perhaps? Shoes are a safe option but all the ones that fit as the magic slipper seem to disappear from sight too- I think I should maybe order some Irregular Choice ones in the New Year and that shall be my New Year's resolution- to walk in heels! To grin and bear it! However ridiculous that may sound. There were some beautiful Cinderella glass slippers I found on a fancy dress website- quite cheap, but decent for a night out when I want to feel all princessy, like am in fairytale. It's a healthy medicine.



Films of the moment that have been helping me get through being all tucked up in bed and sniffly are: The Little Mermaid- that has been a strong favorite since I was very little, I love it, it never ceases to disappoint me.

Ever After- this is such a lovely film, but it's an acceptable fairytale that dips in to Cinderella but because you've got the lovely Drew Barrymore it seems abit more grown up and you don't have to come up with excuses like why you wish you were there and wearing that fantastical ball gown with all that lovely iridescent glitter.



To try and get my sense of smell back I bought a nice little pot of solid fragrance called American Cream from my local Lush shop- I couldn't resist! It's just a little vanilla dream all whipped up in a pot and I have the conditioner! Ohhh smells gorgeous! It makes me feel so much better.



♥ handed in the biotechnology illustration yesterday. it's a book of fawn girls but didn't turn out like i wanted. redo natasha!



♥ could do with another night out, but want ness to come too :(
