I DO #1

So I've been super busy planning our wedding and thought I'd share some ideas for bridesmaids because who doesn't love a pretty dress with pastel nail polish and candy pink lipstick? Unfortunately this dress just sold out but there are so many pretty ones to choose from and I adore mismatched bridesmaid dresses, they're so individual like disney princesses. 

Peach & nude dresses are darling and they will suit a spring wedding, pretty lace and florals with neon pink cheeks and glitter nails. 

I can't wait to go cupcake testing with copious amounts of tea & giggles. There's so many fun things to do when you're planning a wedding, it doesn't all have to be super stressful. 

If you'd like me to share more wedding related inspiration and posts just leave a comment below and I'd love to do a wedding series. #ido

JUST PEACHY

PEACH

Happy Wednesday lovelies, hope you're all well and had a super lovely weekend! This week, well month actually I've been admiring the colour peach, it seems my drinks and cheeks have all been stained this pastel-orange hue and it's made me want summer to hurry along!

I wish I was brave & beautiful enough to wear this shade of orange in my hair, like the super gorgeous Rachel McAdams. I totally fell in love with this shade as soon as she wore it, making a bubblegum pink lip pop and pretty eyes glitter

This darling Topshop blush in Do It Again is a pretty powder that would be just perfect for summer walks down flower scattered country lanes in a sun dress. 

Georgia cheek colour by Benefit is also super fresh, I love the pretty box it comes in and the tiny brush applicator to sweep along cheekbones or dot on the apples of cheeks. 

Homemade peach pie, this reminds me of America and of Pushing Daisies, if only I could bake in happiness like Charlotte Charles with her little droplets of euphoria and giggles. 

The rare peach, or rare at least in our house, I never eat them because I forget how lovely they are and so forget to buy them, maybe next time I'll scribble them at the top of my little shopping list. 

Smucker's peach preserve, or peach jam is something I've never tried but I bet it would be super tasty, especially in the sunshine or in miniature tarts. 

Snapple drinks look delicious, I've seen them on American tv shows like Friends and felt a twinge of jealousy at them being in their fridge and super hard to track down here. I love the glass bottle and design. 

Peached & Cream nail colour by Topshop is just so sweet, I love the pastel shade, it's not yet in my nail polish collection but it's definitely on my wishlist. 

Bobbi Brown limited edition high shimmer lip gloss in the sweetest shade Bear Peach would make a charming edition to any makeup bag. Nude lips with a subtle shimmer are always fail safe and super pretty!

Oh Lola, now I know this isn't technically peach but it reminds me of summer time and so do peaches, so that's the logic I had?! Anyway, it's a  really cute size, perfect for slipping into your bag and handy to keep your summer scent topped up all day.

Peach & glitter flags, what's not to love? They would look super cute on any slice of cake or amongst the decadent delights of an afternoon tea. You can find these little beauties from Pelemele on etsy. 

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE

Hello lovelies, hope you all had a gorgeous weekend. Mine was spent sipping wine, hanging out with family, taking glitter bubble baths & wishing we had climbing roses all over the house. What did you lovelies do? Have you seen all of the beautiful pastel colours Bleach London have brought out? So many different hues I'd love to tint my hair with- at the moment it's sea foam green ombre, but I'm getting pretty bored with that and wishing for rosy pink or a violet colour. 

My illustrated a4 prints are still on offer, if you treat yourself to one you get another of your choice for free, perfect for stocking up on early christmas presents, or just as a little extra something for yourself. I've been putting some in vintage frames and they look really lovely, the pastel colours and pencil are compliment so much by a thrifted frame (especially in gold, I love gold ones, don't you?) 

So anyway, I'm off to catch up on American Horror Story and Supernatural, really love these tv shows, especially this time of year when you can throw on a jumper (or three, in my case) and light some pumpkin spice candles and watch them in the dark (or, if you're like me, definitely with the light on) 

Bye for now sweeties x x

strawberry tart & tea

it's not fair to be inside on such a lovely day.
still plodding through the last of the uni work & keeping going with a nice cup of tea.
i knew that if i went in fourty four i'd end up spending on more stationery. new lovely books to draw in though, it's deliciousness. i really fancy a strawberry tart, a cold one. but when i went home last week i did have a gorgeous strawberry bubble bath with glitterrrrr x
