High Street Picks: Topshop

Once again Topshop is responsible for the draining of my bank balance - although shopping in Dorset is severely limiting and incredibly frustrating I managed to find something to buy (it would have been wrong if I hadn't...). ALSO, they are now selling French Sole's on their website. Love these jazzy gold ones, and at £98 I'm going to think of them as in investment....!

Home Sweet Home....

Have been away for the last month gallivanting around Nepal having the most incredible time (blog posts to follow!). I have to say though, it is nice to be home, to be reunited with my western comforts and to be able to drink tap water again! So much to catch up on - Downton Abbey is back, Gossip Girl and 90210 have started and my sister tells me there is a new Inside Natures Giant's Episode on the giant turtle (yes I'm a massive geeeek!). Here are a couple of nice things I came across while trying to make up for a month away from the internet!

Weekend Wishlist...

Daddy.... if you really love me....??? 

Nope. Never going to happen... gonna have to find me a rich husband to purchase me Lanvin and Anya bags..... oh well... in the mean time I can afford good old Topshop and YSL beauty products. Off to Zante (or Zakynthos as my mother keeps trying to call it in a bid to avoid the 'lads on tour' association with the island) so should be able to have a good old spree in duty free before jetting off to sand, sea and a small handful of appallingly behaved/dressed fellow brits... larrvly.

I love it when an advert creates something that is really beautiful and these designs are a prime example.

(Unsticky by Sarra Manning)
Grace is dumped by her awful bf in Liberty's right by the Marc Jacob's handbags, yet almost simultaneously she is swept of her feet by an rather pushy yet strangely intriguing older man... The twist lies in the affair that he proposes and the lengths to which Grace would go for love and money... 

Have just DEVOURED this and now unfortunately have a Grace shaped hole in my life. If your mourning the lack of summer here in England or jetting off to somewhere where summer translates as heat you HAVE to read this.

LCC artwork

Being interested in going into book cover design after I leave university I have been researching some courses in Graphic design at the London art colleges. I came across this while having a cheeky look at some of the artwork and I LOVE it (the small version didn't do it justice so have had to cut it into two!). Its by Yu Ping Chen. Also have a look at some of the other stuff here.
