Currently Craving Cupcakes...

I've been rather busy of late, what with final year exams, preparing for my trips to Gambia and Poland and sorting out the house ready for the big move back down South... and all this stress is driving me to cupcakes! All I'm craving right now is a pretty little cake smothered in butter icing! I've recently started up a Tumblr blog and there are so many inspiring little blogs out there filled to the brim with gorgeous, and tempting photos. If you're on Tumblr please drop by and say hello! But in the meantime I thought I'd share some of the lovely cupcakes I came across on Tumblr...

Florals Set My Heart A-Flutter!

I love a bit of floral almost as much as I love polka dots. Today I was a big colourful, floral and polka dot explosion - I always am when I go on train journeys - with my red polka dot case, blue floral laptop bag, blue polka dot Cath Kidston bag, green cardigan and red dress! I do like a splash of colour, it makes me smile. Whenever I get the train at morning or evening rushhour it always strikes me how many people commuting to their city jobs wear nothing but black and grey... just because you've got a high-flying job doesn't mean you have to deny your wardrobe of colour! So I feel like I almost make up for it with my colourful outfits! Here are some floral and colourful Polyvore sets for you to feast your eyes on...

Vintage Style Jewellery - Clocks, Carousels, Owls and Cuckoos!

On my recent escapades in the lovely city of Brighton I bought myself a few pretty things, it's the summer after all and come the next academic year I won't be able to afford to! I bought two polka dot dresses (which will no doubt feature in my next blog) and these two gorgeous necklaces! The white heart necklace has a cute fully functioning clock too...
