Autumn Love Affair

I am in LOVE with vintage capes

The weather is getting a tad chilly so I am on the hunt for a cosy cape
to snuggle up in
and look a little stylish

My hands have been crazy busy in the last few days 

I cannot wait to show you some projects, thoughts and new creative avenues that I am pursuing

Happy Friday

My favourite Chick

Sometimes a tricky sad situation needs chick with your favourite chick

Chinese battered chicken - a little sauce and rice - gossip and the company of my little sister this evening

Just what I need to turn a frown upside down

My shoes (that I have been putting on every time I walk past them) and bag await

Dress - just about to be hung up where I can keep my eyes on it from my bed

and lots and lots of jewellery that I will have so much fun
popping on and off choosing my accessories that feel right tomorrow morning

So ..... night night to you all

Facepack, Fake Tan and Fingers

Today is pamper day mixed with chores and lots of new products that I am popping into the shop

I have just about taken photos of EVERYTHING
which was my September plan - so that I can continue to evolve ;) my Dommie Shop

My biggest downfall/upfall has been that I can acquire tonnes of vintage products
with a vision for their presence in my shop and in someone's abode
but - always remember, yet never lose your excitement,
that - each product takes time and love
so - like I have done - be careful that your hoard does not stack up awaiting their premieres

Oooooops !!!!! >.<

So - courtesy of A Thrifty Miss
I am gonna make me a simple facepack
that will be gentle on my uber sensitive skin

Come Join Me !!!!!

You will need

Half a small teacup of warm green tea (around 40-50ml)
5tbsp of Bicarbonate of Soda (plus some extra to have on hand)

Boil your kettle and make up a teacup of green tea.
Rest, relax and drink half the cup of tea.

Whilst supping your tea pop on over to my fab new blog love - A Thrifty Miss

Pour the rest of the tea into a small bowl and add 4tbsp of the bi carb,
mix in with a small spoon or spatula until it forms a paste.
Drain off any excess liquid and add the last tbsp of bi carb,
stirring quickly (you may need to add more on top of the last tbsp of bi carb, it's a fussy mixture).

Smooth onto face avoiding the eye and mouth
(keep stirring the mixture as you apply or it will become sloppy - add more bi carb if it does)
and allow to dry - no more than 2-3minutes.
Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Fake Tan - eeeeek I have admitted this many times

I tend not to sunbathe mainly as I get bored

I have tonnes of freckles so my pre event fake tan application
makes me look sunkissed
and stops me having to apply too much foundation which can look cloggy
plus
tomorrow is going to be sunny
so it will be great to have a more natural look - with my fake eyelashes - ah well ha ha

No7 Made Made Foundation is one of THE most genius products I have heard of recently

I simply cannot wait to give this a try !!!!!

Wow - I can remember the days when it was nigh on impossible to buy foundation for my skin colour
coupled with the fact that it had to be hypo allergenic

How times have changed for the better !!!!!

Nails !!!!!

My sister has gone proper crazy for nail action - toes and fingers

The clouds on her chum, Stef's nail are waaaaay too cute

Flowers on Lolly Bebs' toes and gold on turquoise on her nails

but I have to say that the flamingo is my utter favourite

SO

with that inspiration - which colour will I be painting my nails today ?

Cream - ooooops - not very adventurous I know
but
I am cream/nude obsessed at the moment

I must go pamper - have a lush morning

Ooooooh Nude !!!!!

Today found me shopping at a leisurely pace for shoes, a bag and accessories for my wedding outfit

I fancied making the illusion that I am a classy chic deep down
well
ok
I can scrub up quite well I guess

I had my look in mind and my dress hanging up in my dressing room ready to be adorned by pretty things

I wanted NUDE shoes - I even asked a random lady in the shop what looked best
holding up one patent nude shoe clad foot and one patent red clad foot

NUDE - she said - CLASSY !!!!! ;)

So nude it was

Plus - I will let you into a secret

I was about to buy a pair in a department store
and a spotted a HUGE Tesco just over the way

Into Tesco - and guess what - they had the same nude shoes at a fraction of the price !!!!!

Bought

Also - I matched my shoes perfectly with a bag from a charity shop

So - more monies for me to spend on accessories
earrings I love and a ring - plus I will dip my hands in my bowls of jewels in my dressing room
to add another much loved ring

So - although my dress may have been full price
and I adore it
it pays to shop around
to accessorise with bargains
that makes my wedding look far more fun, secretly cheaper and more personal

Cannot wait now for my friends' BIG day

Martha Stewart Stationery Organising My Life

Image courtesy of lovelossandlacquer

I did it - and I went in calm ..... had a little excited wobble - and left the shop,
purchases in my hand
without the need to remortgage the house

One of my biggest weaknesses - heck - my BIGGEST weakness !!!!! is stationery

I have been coveting Martha Stewart stationery for myself for a while
purchased it for my sis and some friends
and yesterday it was MY turn

As a connoisseur of stationery - it is simple, beautifully made and feels oh so good in your bag
and all the little extra bits - like the beveled post it notes and index labels !!!!!!
make it all feel super special

My usual ritual now - is to sit quiet - like I will later this evening
and write my first neat words in my new books

eeeeek

My shop is now full of new accessories that have a vintage/boho chic feel that you will love

Today sees me supping coffee and getting really excited about getting
MY ACCESSORIES for the wedding

I have just tried on my dress and did a twirl in it with a whoop !!!!!

Now - that is how a girl should feel in her clothes EVERY day ;)
