the simple things





Happy Friday lovelies, hope you've all had a darling week, full of mini milks, sunny afternoons & midnight bubble baths. This week I've been illustrating, drinking lots of tea as usual, picking out sundresses & floral collared shirts to wear, playing with our little rabbit and constantly checking the progress of our grass in our back garden, all of this sunshine has meant it's actually grown! Hooray! 

I'd love to do some progress posts & advice for complete beginners of how to actually keep things growing in their little space of floral loveliness, a place to sip strawberry drinks in the summer, host barbecues, relax amongst honeysuckles, roses and picnic blankets, a place to dream about the future and laugh until your sides hurt, a place to look up at the stars and wonder what's out there, thinking about how amazing it all is. 

It's so strange, I feel that nearing my twenty sixth birthday I'm actually catching up with myself, feeling more and more like I did on my fifth birthday where I told my dad that I absolutely did not want to be a six year old and crying about it. But then as you grow older you're totally thankful and sometimes amazed that you've reached another year older, thinking about all the wonderful things, no matter how small that you've done and achieved and wondering about all the amazing experiences that will fill your life as you move through it all. 

This summer has been so lovely so far, and I'm so looking forward to all the summers to come, especially next year as Matt and I will be married and that is a new adventure! So the rain is here now, which is the perfect opportunity to make another tea! 

What are your summer plans? Future plans! I'd love to hear about them.

I'M STICKING WITH YOU

FEBRUARY LOVES <3


It's still February, the month of love, of sending sugary pink valentine's, cinema dates, the only month where it's totally justified to want to wear clashing pink and red, heart earrings and heart nail art, bake tiny cakes in the shapes of hearts and dot pink blusher to the apples of your cheeks, (wait, no I do this every month) I coveted this collection of blush coloured delights that are perfect for any month and I want them all as they gleam and shimmer on my wishlist. 

This blushing pink journal from Tea and Kate (such a cute name) is right up my street and I love the plastic cover (yeah, I'm a spiller, like Chandler's a dropper, actually I'm both, very clumsy indeed) It's the perfect little companion to write down notes, ideas, dates, meetings, ahh I just love journals. 

I'm loving these simple but oh so pretty pencils, they're functional and you can always slip one to your sweetheart to remind them to write you some sweet notes. I wish people still wrote love letters, perhaps they still do. That should be a thing. 

This darling 'love you' cushion is one I'd be super happy about having on our bed or in our living room, it's just so lovely! It would make such a thoughtful gift too!

What can I say, I'm a 1997 Titanic fan! I've been obsessed with the film ever since I knew it was being made and Jack & Rose are like my favourite couple ever. These super cute pink earrings from the darling Gabriella at Pixie and Pixier are just amazing! 

Pocket mirrors with compliments, now this is something that is genius. I love the idea of sending it to friends and it's designed by the super lovely Nicola from MsSpanner


What have you been coveting this month?
