perfect summer bag

(from Zara)

A little twist on the blue and white breton stripes everywhere this summer. Apparently Zara will soon be opening an online store! Good for me, bad for my bank balance.

London Guide

Feel very inspired by the Lo-Fi Guide to London from This is Naive. Even though I live in London now, Streatham is a bit of a no-man's land compared to all the lovely areas in this comprehensive guide. I miss living in central London and I also can't wait to move further out to Kingston, where I can go explore little shops by the river and have lunch at the Polish Cafe in the Antiques Centre.... two more months to go!

Bag? Shoes? Jewellery?

A friend staying recently asked if I was more of a bag-person or a shoe-person when it came to accessories... After some thought I answered neither- I'm a jewellery person! Which are you?

Here is a list of my some beautiful examples of each to help you decide (or maybe confuse you further?!).

Option 1:

(via TheLeatherStore)

(also available in brown)

Option 2:

(Pied a Terre - Hugo shoe)

Option 3:

(via st Kilda)

So what's it going to be?

Bike Antlers

(via design sponge)

Work of art or amazing practical piece?

and to stamp to those letters...

(via Royal Mail)

Beautiful Classic Album Cover stamps from the Royal Mail. My favourite is the New Order cover (main picture above), from their 'Power, Corruption & Lies' album. I love New Order AND pretty pink flowers!

Raise your hand if you like sending letters

Isn't it so exciting when you get a personal letter or postcard through the post. I love sending and receiving mail, and often make my own birthday and Christmas cards (especially now I have a wonderful Gocco machine).
It's always a good idea to have a stash of ready to send cards though, and wouldn't these 100 Book Jacket Postcards from Penguin make the most original collection!
