Have you been naughty or nice?

Spitalfields Market

I love London , there is always something to do and discover in this city! These pretty gems caught my eye and I got a sneak peak at the behind the scenes of a fashion show that was going on for the day.

Stopping by Stockholm

I went to Stockholm the other day (and fell in love). That city sure has style. A simple, understated, gorgeous style. I loved the shoes there. The ankle boots, cable knits, simple coats all = amazing! Here are a few snaps from our road trip.

Bargain Buy - Bed Cushions

I love little critters. A few of my favourites are rabbits, deer, birds and foxes.

I am embarking on this new "phase" in my life where I am only buying things I just absolutely love and not because they are on sale. (Goodness I am a sucker for a SALE sign!) However, I find it is not always a bargain because half the time I only half heartily love it and would probably not have loved it, if it had not on be on sale - do you know what I mean? So it hit me when I realised I wanted to start only buying key pieces I simply loved instead, that I must now be a grown up... At the age of 24 I felt old for the first time!

So back to my bargain buy! I wanted to add a few woodland critters to my bedroom decor and looked everywhere for something I would just love! And that is when I saw these two cushions - on Ebay of all places! You have to love an Ebay find! The rabbit cushion actually has a different design on the back with a dark grey background and a white rabbit which is nifty. There were also other stag head designs and I thought they were very reasonably priced.

Bargain Buy - Vintage Handbag

My very first proper vintage buy is in the form of this little number. I bought it from Rokit, click here to see where their stores are located. They also do gorgeous vintage ankle boots, I just couldn't bring myself to buy second hand vintage shoes - that just seems gross.
