Things I’ve Seen
Vivienne Westwood shoes <3
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes by Vivienne Westwood for Melissa, I want them all! I think if I had to choose I would go for the nude ones in the middle, yummy!

Matty’s shiny new blog
My darling friend Matt has decided to update his blog, it’s now a lovely handwritten little number.
A weekend with the fam <3
I had a lovely time this weekend, went back home to see Cinderella pantomime (starring my stepdad as the Baron!) and spent some time with my family. It’s so nice being in a house where I get fed and don’t have to wash up, oh, and a house which is nice and warm throughout the winter, amazing!

On Friday night my friend Abby came over and we attempted to learn to crochet so we could make some cute hair bows I saw on this blog. My Nan gave me an old book with lots of crochet instructions in, I’m sure my boyfriend would be thrilled with this lovely crochet tie!
Saturday morning I made some yummy lemon cupcakes so we could have tea and cake when all the family arrived. I don’t tend to use recipes for my cupcakes, I just use a basic sponge recipe my Nan taught me years ago…weigh the eggs first then make sure everything else weighs the same, easy! For this batch I used 3 large eggs which made 20 cupcakes. To make them lemony I added the zest of 1 lemon into the mix and a few drops of the juice, then a few more drops of juice to the icing.
I had a horrible journey back to my University house, but this lovely little package put a smile on my face once I was home…
My new Lazy Oaf sail boat tee, only cost me a tenner in the sale, bargain! I was extremely tempted by the lovely sailor sweatshirt too but thought I better save my pennies, off to The Big Apple at the end of the month.
Oh, and if you’re going to do one thing today (other than read my blog) download Elviin’s new single ‘Good Books’ from iTunes, it’s immense…I currently have it on repeat!
Hope everyone has a lovely week,

Nail Polish
I just found out American Apparel do these cute nail polishes <3
I love ‘Office’ and ‘Coney Island’.
Off to bed soon, night x
Tea <3
I love the cute packaging on these teas, especially the Clipper tea, hand drawn text is a massive turn on! The middle pack (Clipper ‘Sleep Easy’) is really yummy tea, it’s got cinnamon in and is really warming and makes you feel all cosy when you drink it.
I live in a hard water area and I massively hate it when I get those scummy bits floating on the top of my tea, so I thought I’d give these hard water tea bags a whirl and they’re actually pretty good. They taste good (although maybe not the best tea I’ve ever had) and they get rid of the scum, so I’d definitely buy them again!
I must dash, have work soon.

Carnaby Street Christmas Decorations
I saw the Christmas decorations in Carnaby Street yesterday, I think they’re nice but I must admit I wasn’t as impressed as previous years. I thought they might have been a bit Jeff Koons inspired but I think that’s probably coz I’d just seen Pop Life at the Tate Modern and I’m writing an essay on Koons for uni. The pink reindeer did have a bumhole though…
Create a font from your handwriting…
Was just browsing the net to pass some time and I found this awesome looking website: FontCapture where you can make a font of your handwriting, or anything handwritten I suppose. I’ve not been able to try it out as I don’t have a printer or scannner right now but I will give it a go soon and post the results.
Love Love

Just browsing the web to pass time and I found this poster which managed to put a smile on my face on this extremely grey October’s day.

Duvet Day
Had a pretty lazy day today and spent a lot of my time browsing the web and the rest making cupcakes…then eating the icing and feeling sick! Anyway…found a couple of cool websites, one is gofonturself - a must for any type lovers! The other is Doodlers Anonymous which is packed with awesome illustrations, it would take days to look at everything on there!
