Fan Art

After yesterday's post, I got not one, but 2 comments, linking me to some incredible artwork that a couple of my readers have been lovely enough to draw of me. Aren't they amazing?

Thank you Anna for this beautiful piece, which is based on this outfit.

And thank you Elena, for this gorgeous portrait.

I still can't really believe anyone would want to draw me, but thank you both so much, you really made my day! I hope everyone else enjoys them as much as I did!

OOTD - Lace & Velvet

Dress - Littlewoods // Cardigan - Next // Shoes* - Zalando // Bow - New Look // Bag - Vintage // Watch* - Old England // Belt - ASOS// Key Bracelet* - Benita Blue // Alice in Wonderland Bracelet(actually a necklace) - Gift from a blog reader, thank you again Rosie♥!

Do you like my bag? It used to be my Mum's, but she had a clearout recently & I stole it off her, haha! I love things that have a little history behind them!

This outfit is really similar to the one I wore the last time I wore this dress, oops! I need to remember to experiment more! Also, do you like my new shoes? They're from Zalando, who kindly sent me a voucher to try something from their site. I picked out these suede maryjanes by Rocketdog & they are lovely & so comfortable! Suede does seem to attract every little speck though!

Odds & Ends

This last week has been quite dull outside, & cold. Snapped a few pics from my bedroom window of the snowy street & also lots of seagulls? They were all swooping outside the window & then settling on a lampost, rather odd behaviour I thought! Don't normally see seagulls, I don't live near the sea, but especially not lots of them flying like maniacs outside, maybe they don't like the cold either?

Been spending much too much recently too, placed a Topshop order & got these lovely sorbet coloured socks & old fashioned shoes. Even managed to snag a oversized pastel flecked snuggly cardi & it fits perfectly, in a 16! First thing I've ever bought from Topshop, clotheswise. Shame I can't buy anthing I like, have to stick to the stretchy oversized stuff for now! Also got a pretty peach lace dress from New Look Inspire, which suits my current love of candy colours!

Things still aren't great for me at the moment, but chin up I guess. Have been distracting myself not only by shopping, but by working on some new pieces for Dolly Darling. I am a little in love with my new headband, I've made one for me too! So expect to see it in an OOTD post soon :)

Anjolee Review

When Anjolee, an online jewellers specialising in anniversary rings for women & bridal sets rings, among other things, offered to send me something to review, of course I jumped at the chance. I don't own much "proper" jewellery, only a few pieces & only one other ring! The bridal set ring I chose was the prong set diamond band, but set with topaz instead. Even though I'm not a bride, nor about to be, I still think this ring is beautiful. Why do couples get to have all the fun?

I chose topaz & gold, because it reminds me of my Granny's engagement ring, which I love, especially how the blue & gold look together. It's very delicate, but still sturdy & well made. If you are lucky enough to have someone who wants to buy you jewellery, or fancy treating yourself this Valentine's day, I'd definitely recommend Anjolee. There might not be quite enough time to get it before the day, but even shipping from America to the UK only took 6 days to get to me, another plus!

OOTD - Snow & Fur

Coat - ASOS // Bag - ASOS // Wellingtons - Wellibobs // Mittens - ASOS // Collar - Handmade Bow - New Look

Skirt - Littlewoods // Jumper - ASOS

Made this cute matching collar to my mittens yesterday, so thought I'd coordinate an outfit with them. Had to make the collar, because I find the ASOS ones a bit small for my liking! :( Anyway, it didn't take long, only about 15 mins, so I might make more of these in different faux furs. I was originally also going to wear nicer shoes (black suede cut out mary janes) , but they were definitely not snow friendly! This past week is the first time it has been properly cold this winter, & I hear more snow is on the way.

Thanks also for your lovely comments on my last post - still having a hard time, but your messages were lovely! :)
