I've been writing letters today. Well two but that's amazing considering I haven't been able to in so long. Not because i'm lazy, i'm the opposite of lazy, if I can do something i'll jump at it (with my camera in tow). Long health story that I won't go into but I adore writing to people. Having really pretty paper helps too. If you do one thing this weekend, write, whether it's to a relative or simply in a diary.

When I get into something, I really get into something. Like when you know what to look out for , you see it more. Here are a few wonderful blogs you 'll fall in love with,
-noodles dream of teapots
-fancy treehouse
-me myself and shoes
-pepas room
-trend and mode
-the wanderlusters

I hope you've had a lovely Saturday. I'm dying my hair tomorrow, my roots are atrocious. I can't wait to bring together the ombre post, you still have time to email pictures/tips/etc , click this link to find out how.

Today I had another vampire come round, who managed to take my blood on the first go, which is always cool with me. I also met a really really lovely dentist (apparently I still have two of my milk teeth!) and filled in a question sheet for my soon to be feature in my local library. All fun and more jewellery making. Taking lots of photos tomorrow, can't wait.

If you haven't already, make sure you enter my giveaway.
Happy nearly Friday sexy!

A few photos from my birthday. The shoes, oh the shoes. I've been searching for Pierre Hardy for Gap shoes literally forever. Nearly bought them online for 64$ plus every packaging and shipping charge. Resisted urge. Then my wonderful mum was in London and found them. For 2.99£. Dude. That would even translate for under $5. They will never come off my feet, ever (even if that leaves me toddling around at 6.2ft).

Happy nearly Friday. My shopbop order arrived early, so happy.

*I dislike Kate Moss

A bit of a disclaimer to start with... I dislike Kate Moss. A lot. Nothing specific, just her BUT I was looking through the Vogue Models book I got out of the library and I was really impressed with one photo of Kate Moss (the cover actually). I didn't realise it was her to start with and a bit of googling later (i'm a nerd, forgive me) , I came across a few more photos.
A series of different editorials,
Kate Moss by Craig Mcdean...






Beautiful. The chemistry is perfect. I officially dislike (note how I haven't said hate throughout) Kate Moss a little bit less now.

Firstly, happy burns night!
Secondly, thank you for all the entries to my jeffrey campbell giveaway , it's exciting and overwhelming all at the same time.
I attempted to have my blood taken today. Due to rubbish health, they come here. Four stabbity rip stab stab's (hollywood undead reference for the cool kids) and no blood later (literally, no blood , not even a teeny weeny bit) later, they left. Maybe i'm actually a vampire. Even though they failed, I felt extra awful after. Mum also lovingly did this action of a needle moving around and failing to find blood that just was not necessary. Thanks mum.

I've found a few amazing blogs recently that might interest you...
Stop Making Sense (if you like breath taking photos), Sea Of Shoes (if you like dreamy-ness & Rosa-Fiona Bettina (if you like the tv show Skins).

p.s - A big thank you to S from Done With Conformity for the lovely feature!

A very lovely girly told me I should go in to hair accesories. Et voila, I've decided to go there and in the process also make a few other cheaper pieces. These and more will be up for sale soon. Lots of crystals, especially pyrite. If you're curious, go check out my etsy for other pieces.
