A Home from Home.

Being a part of the Homeware team and sparked a an urge of everything within these four walls.

What a wonderful world in the furniture blogosphere I have discovered.

You should really check some of these sites out if you're looking to fulfil your living room love or your dining room desires.

Take these pictures as some food for thought. Some metaphorical skittles if you will.

How hung? Novel solutions to a student flat staple. 

That's right. You-Es-Be seeing this.

Don't rabbit rabbit, I just love my quirk

From Gold Galore...

...to gallantly Green

Hope you enjoy my little discoveries. Let me know of any thing that inspires you.

Apologies from the MIdlands.

Hey everyone. Well. It's been a while hasnt it. Sorry is all i can say but is for a good cause. You'll all be happy to hear that im now a Trainee Buyer for Next!! Woop!

As you can imagine it's a very exciting time and I have moved to leicester where the head office is. I'm so lucky as I have been put on the Home Furniture team who are so wonderful. I can't wait for what the future is going to develop for me.

Before I left home I made a parting gift for a friend who has an obsession with cushions. Her exact words to this were. "oh yeah, i forgot you could make things and stuff"

What a lovely statement.

Check out these Guns!

Ok, only one gun to mention but one very lovely one.

It's Harriet Gun-ner of course!! I sent my delightfully styled blog pal a lil pressie in the post and she featured it on her BLOG and chictopia profile. I'm so pleased she liked it and honoured that she posted it. So much in fact i've made two more just like it and you can buy it from my Etsy Store.

Here are the pics below Harriet posted.

I'll be making a few more things, branching out into more accessories and other nic nacks. I fancy making some light pendents and actually maybe something cuddly. If anyone ever wants to suggest anything then please let me know.

Thanks to Hazza, I'm looking forward to meeting up so we can discuss more fashion and bands whilst having a few cheeky drinks.

im Hip, hipstamatic.

I'm in love with hipstamatic. I'm now duty bound to take a few snaps here and there just sunnying up life and documenting "yes i was here today" or "i saw this, cool eh"

I have a few rules.

1. I try not to set up a composition myself, structures can be lined up but I won't place anything if its not necessary

2. I never choose the lens. Random mode with shaker might make me look like a serial twitcher but I'm enjoying the pot luck, living dangerous.

3. Titles! If and when possible i've got to try and be Attila-the-pun about the photo.

Here's a small selection of whats now up in my hipstamatic series on flickr. Check it

I hope you enjoy. Share with me.

Fancy some mood lighting?

Now, I'm all for a bit of mood lighting, but i came across these de-lights and didn't know what to make of them.


Actually i did...and I'm simply dying to have one.


The design was created by Ji-young Kim. I think it has a quirky poke at death. I Mean dont get me wrong there is nothing funny about suicide itself, but i like how the boundaries of lighting have pushed. 

There is something slightly terrifying yet adorable. Perhaps a small rag doll has had enough of playing house..."goodbye cruel world!!" Oh wait...now your a lamp.

In any argument it's a matter of personnel taste. And whether your think its vile or something quite beautiful, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Then again, your might go for something a little more arterial... 


It might be pumping in your veins but it also seems wto be pumping out of your lighting fitting. I find this red liquid pour lamp quite seductive. You can imagine what you like of the dripping red, i prefer to believe its the cause of a turmoiled love that perhaps left one of the parties heart beating a little more...frequaent shall we say. It was geniusly designed by Kouichi Okamoto. and bravo to you! 

Another design thats i am just dying to hang...poor taste? Is featured below. The hole structure is made of fluro tubing as if to suggest the idea of an illuminating rope.

Designer uncredited...well would you want your name put against that...YES I WOULD!! It;s purely disturbing in the most fantastic way. (if anyone knoes who designed this please let me know.

Currently-style nymphs

At the moment I'm awash with nuances of fashion and interior expression.

With regards to style junkies and people with a bite i am a big fan of cityofbugs star Harriet and the highland wonder that is Morven.

I first took an interest in these girls whilst working for Dahlia fashion. And with some wonderful sweet talk and very little persuasion they soon become two thirds of the new Dahlia girlfriend blog team. They both have such individual styles but equally demanding looks in their own rights.

Harriet, a chictopia devotee, has such a true to form style that lifts a lot of its inspiration from the music that she listens to. Bands like the smiths and solo artists like debbie harry have intrigued the era of fashion that Harriet feels most comfortable in yet never to be labelled a copy queen there is aways an interpretation or a sense of evolution thats follows her style choices.

Delightful there's no doubt, with a sense of home grown charm also. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Harriet. Currently studying fashion and with dreams of becoming a stylist you can bet her influence will touch many more than the thousands it already has.

Morven, equally as stunning, is a fashion of two faces for me. You can't deny there is a very strong hard edge style that she demands yet her look seems so effortless and almost ethereal. If you dared imagine the fashion goddess of war, Morven would be it. Saying that thought i have not spoken to a more charming and wonderful girl. Like me she shares a love of cat (this i will blog later about) and her friendly nature just warms your heart.

Being law graduate by day i can exude nothing but glorious envy for this naturally stylish soul. Make sure you get a chance to look at there blogs (linked) and check out the girlfriends blogs your can read on the Dahlia website also.

Where you can find me.

As well as on here I have started to create an internet presence of my own.
