By LittleDoodles - 3:59 PM

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.

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 sweater
Dylon: White fabric paint
John Lewis: Bow tie
ASOS: Suede brogue shoes
Topman: Grey marl jersey cardigan
Emma Ferguson: Tattoo brooch
New Look: Mens hooded duffle jacket
Ally Capellino: Tate shopper

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in borrowing these if the occasion arose. And by borrowing I mean permanently moving them into my wardrobe.

Mad Men

By LittleDoodles - 11:32 AM

I've started watching Mad Men and it's slowly infiltrating all areas of my life (not to mention the fact that the theme tune seems to be stuck on repeat in my head)

Gimme gimme gimme...a mixed bag

By LittleDoodles - 10:24 AM

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 a found polaroid, hence the name, which is what I really love...turning a random found object into a piece of wearble art.

Beau Coops: Frankly shoes

I'm always on the hunt for heeled shoes that actually look comfortable so I tend to stick to wedges (mainly because I can balance in them). Plus I'm really digging the Yves Klein blue.

Cake cake cake!

By LittleDoodles - 2:35 PM

It's a tea and cake themed gimme gimme gimme today. I used the bird design above as a Mother's Day card for my mum, it's the standard conversation that goes on between her and my dad when cake is involved...

Lanvin: Miss L anvin 17 Doll
Miu Miu: Tea cup shoes
The Berkley Hotel: Prêt-à-Portea
Daydream Nation: Birthday cake necklace
PNUT Jewelry: Cupcake rings

A big thank you to EJ & Steve of Style Salvage for featuring some of my doodles today. I highly recommend their blog and not just because they say I'm lovely (trust me, Oscar the Grouch has nothing on me when I'm in a mood)

Secret Garden

By LittleDoodles - 9:52 AM

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?!).

Postcarden

And whilst I'm on a gardening/floral theme...

1. Merci for Liberty
2. Paul Smith: Floral wedge
3. My Sugarland: Vintage floral tapestry bag
4. Topshop: Orange blossom crochet dress
5. Alex Monroe: Tag necklace from The Gardener collection

Laura Tabor

By LittleDoodles - 5:03 PM

I've been given an exclusive preview of Laura Tabor's sweet new collection and I can assure you it is as lovely as the sweeties it draws inspiration from.

Made of up pieces inspired by traditional sweets of childhood, who could resist teeny golden sugarmice?!

Just Peachy

By LittleDoodles - 11:11 AM

To be honest, I'm far from peachy today having fractured a rib. But cheering myself by looking at pretty things always helps. Just don't make me laugh please, it may cause me to explode :)

Linda Farrow: Jeremy Scott sunglasses
Lizzie Fortunato: Spring Summer 2010 bracelet
Kurt Geiger: Dandy shoes
Benoit Missolin: Latex Betty Mars headband

The colour with no name

By LittleDoodles - 8:58 AM

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 dress
Priestly's Vintage: Deb hat
Holly Fulton: Deco necklace
Dries Van Noten: Fall 2010 ready to wear

Bowtiful

By LittleDoodles - 10:05 AM

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 thinking a flapper fashion post is called for very soon!

Elizabeth Lau: Annie bleach chambray dress
Marc by Marc Jacobs: Linda bow embellished clutch
Bena: Mirrored perspex bow brooch

J W Anderson: Bow bracelet
Jigsaw: Bow fascinator
Monsoon: Pearl bow brooch
Dazed Dorothy: Nude leather clutch

Gimme Gimme Gimme

By LittleDoodles - 1:12 PM

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 bag
Lanvin: Printed hightops
Topshop: Watercolour silk scarf
Christopher Kane: Sunset print dress
Mulberry: Fuzzy floral bangle
