I would love to have a tidy workspace, however the effort to 1. create it and 2. maintain it is almost too much for me to bear. Shopping with having that space in mind is much more fun.Washi paper masking tapeOOU!

As Peacocks Hat mentioned on my last post, everything was a little on the pricey side. I suppose that's why I put them in the Gimme Gimme Gimme category, because they're more aspirational than anything. So I've put together another (equally covetable!) version that is a lot more appealing to me, and hopefully you, pricewise!Uniqlo: Cotton crew neck sweaterDylon: White fabric paint John...
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in borrowing these if the occasion arose.

There's no fixed Gimme Gimme Gimme theme today, it's simply bits and bobs that caught my eye over the weekend. Philippe Roucou: Objet Trouves Polaroid Scarves These Polaroid scarves by Philippe Roucou blew me away the first time I saw them. To be honest I'm surprised no one had made them earlier because of the square format fitting so well. Each print is...
It's a tea and cake themed gimme gimme gimme today.

I spotted this on Daily Candy this morning and thought it was such a cute idea that I had to blog about it.I'm not a greenfingered person at all, many an Ikea pot plant has perished at my hands but I think I could manage these little desktop gardens (you can't kill cress can you?!).PostcardenAnd whilst I'm on a gardening/floral theme...1.

To be honest, I'm far from peachy today having fractured a rib. But cheering myself by looking at pretty things always helps.

The colour with no name is one of my favourite colours, any pointers on what it's called? Sonia and Robert Delaunay often used it within their work, as does David Hockney and although I can spot it on the colour wheel I'm still clueless as to what it's actually called!Vivienne Westwood: Anglomania dressPriestly's Vintage: Deb hatHolly Fulton: Deco necklaceDries Van Noten: Fall 2010...

When ever I see bows I am always reminded of Clara Bow, the silent film actress and original "It Girl" of the twenties. Her life story isn't as cheering as the bowtiful bows below but intriguing nonetheless.

I'm all about prints today. Maybe it's because the sun is finally shining and I'm seeing colour everywhere...and just a wee bit of history for you, printing on plain fabric developed in response to the popularity of "chintz"(which were textiles imported from India to Europe) in the early seventeenth century. I do love a good bit of chintz!Vivienne Westwood: Ebury flower bagLanvin: Printed...
