The weather is still pretty good here, so I got to wear my summer oufit, finally! I made this crop top/bustier ages ago (those of you that follow me on instragram may have see it before, haha!), & haven't had a chance to wear it out before. I paired it with a lace skirt from ASOS, & my "Dorothy" shoes to finish it off. Still haven't done my roots, so please excuse those, eek!

That's all for now, see you soon ♥

P.S. Remember to enter my Cheap Frills giveaway, it ends tomorrow!

Dorothy shoes - Next Kids



Necklace* - Oddyssey

The weather has been so changeable lately, last week it was raining & this week it is brilliant sunshine, & 30 degree heat. I have the perfect outfit planned for the weekend, if the weather holds up that long. I can't wait until September, when I will be off to North Wales again & have a garden to laze around in. That's one thing I miss most about living in a house, gardens are so underrated! I'm so desperate for one that I've asked Mum if we can turf our balcony, haha!

♥ Black, Red & White

Dress - ASOS Curve // Top - ASOS Curve // Shoes - Doc Martens // Bag - Suzy Smith //  Necklace* - Cheap Frills // Rings - ASOS // Bow - New Look

This is what I wore today to pick up some supplies from Hobbycraft. The dress I've worn before here, it really does not photograph well, I swear it didn't have so many creases irl, haha! The top is new, courtesy of my mum, as a thank you for the doll I made her ♥ It has little dogs on it, & a really adorable collar, so even though it is similar to my raccoon shirt I still wanted it.

I am also wearing a fab "Prince Puss" necklace that the lovely Georgia of Cheap Frills sent me, which I really love. My sister Charlotte has already tried to steal it, haha! I have a Cheap Frills giveaway coming up, so do check back tomorrow, if you want a chance to win some cute things! Also, if you use the code CUPCAKE, you can get 20% off if you order anything!

♥ Black Sparkle Nails

Barry M - Pink Iridescent // (Ring Finger) Paul & Joe A Midsummer's Night Polish - Faerie Queen

Just thought I'd you you all my current mani, a bit darker than I usually go for, but I read somewhere that iridescent glitter shows up best on a dark base, so had to try it out for myself. It does seem to, but I think I still prefer the glitter over pastel polishes instead! What do you think?

♥ Dolly

At Christmas I showed you the dolls I made for my cousins (who loved them, btw!). My mum loved them too, so just recently I made a smaller version for her, who is about a third of the size of the others I made. She didn't take so long, around 3 hours, & my mum adored her. She hasn't got a name yet, though with her red hair she reminds me of the little mermaid.

♥ Lollipops & Rainbows

Dress - Handmade // Shoes - ASOS // Socks - Topshop // Crown - Remixed Primark // Bag - Primark // Deer Brooch - Dolly Darling // Blue Flower Ring - Primark // Panda Ring - Dolly Darling // Stackable Gold Rings - Evans // Cardigan - Dorothy Perkins

All that talk of Spoonflower in my last post made me want to dig out a dress I made with some previous custom fabric. I haven't worn it since last summer, where I wore it as part of a Lolita ensemble. I wore it sans petti this time, but it still has a lovely shape. I still have some other custom fabric in my stash that I still haven't made into a dress yet! Should probably do that before I order even more fabric haha!

Also, how cute is my bag? I saw in Primark a while ago, but didn't buy it, & then regretted it.  But the last time I went in & it was on sale, so I got it for the princely sum of £3! Not bad. I decorated it with my Dolly Darling deer brooch, it's not easy pinning things to wicker, but managed it in the end.

♥ Kittens, Biscuits & Tea

One of the things that is coming along nicely in my room redux is my picture wall. My grandparents have their stairway wall covered in lots & lots of family photos, & I've always admired it, so I decided to take the concept & put it to use in my own room, with artwork instead of photos. It has a few original pieces by me, a couple of Kris Atomic prints, & other random bits & bobs.

The latest piece to be put on the wall is a canvas, kindly sent for me to review by a company called Bags of Love, which I had printed with a piece (above) I had just finished working on! I am pretty impressed with their service, it was printed that same day I sent over the .png & arrived a day later! They usually print out photos, but my illustrations printed pretty well, with only a minor difference of colour shades (which can be tricky to get right, after all no printer is the same, & when printing out the work myself managed to get 2 different copies just by selecting a different paper!).

They have a lot of different items available on the site too, from bags, chairs, even quilts, alongside the regular offerings like canvases & calenders. I think the prices are pretty good too, I haven't got much experience, but just before Christmas my Mum got a canvas not much bigger than this one printed up at a local store, & I think it was about £75-80? This one came in at £45, excluding the message I got printed on the back, which was a further £1.99. Plus, 2 days wait time, compared to the the week or so my Mum waited for hers. So definitely recommended!

I also played around in Photoshop with the imagery & designed a fabric, which I really want to get printed at Spoonflower when I can afford to, & make myself a pretty dress!

Also, whilst I'm on the subject of biscuits (kind of!), I thought I'd show you these cute brooches I bought last month. They were only £2.99 each, & are handmade & painted. I couldn't decide which biscuit to buy, so I went for all available! I discovered the brand up in North Wales (you can also see my thimble cats in this pic, by the same pottery), & found the website when I got home. They are made by a pottery based in Devon called Merry Field Pottery, you should check them out if you like quirky, handmade ceramic items! They sell other things, including little cake & biscuit trinket boxes, which I'm sure I'll be back for soon enough!

Dress - Style 369 // Bag - Primark // Petticoat - Domino Dollhouse // Necklace - Handmade // Shoes - Le Bunny Bleu // Cardigan - Very // Belt - ASOS Curve // Hair Bow - Primark

Ugh please excuse my windswept hair in these pics! I also really need to do my roots, eek! Hair dying is such a pain, especially roots. Anyway, I wore this outfit last week, when the weather was a little better. It's currently torrential rain where I am. So much for summer, haha!

I really can't get enough of these bunny shoes, I've worn them at least 3 times the past week, so cute! And my £9 bag was another pretty good purchase from a few months ago. I actually used this bag to colour-match my bedroom paint, I loved the shade that much. I think I can safely say that mint is my current favourite colour, for  decor, bags, shoes & clothes, anything really!

OSP Summer Style Trial

Jumper*, Skirt*, Owl Ring* - Onestopplus // Bag - ASOS // Shoes - Office // Bow - Starry Eyed Bowtique // Necklace - ASOS // Teacup Ring - Dolly Darling

A while back I was contacted again by OneStopPlus (I did a review for them back here), with an invitation to take part in a style challenge with 4 other bloggers. We all had to pick out a top & bottom, plus accessory to show our take on a current trend. Originally this was going to be a spring challenge (we were contacted way back in February!), so I picked out my outfit with early spring in mind, hence the thick jumper!

I did also pick out a jacket (here), for my outfit, but it's honestly not suitable for summer! I was kinda dying of heat in this alone! I am a bit annoyed about this, if I had known it was going to be changed to a summer trial, I obviously would have picked something more summery. Oh well! The trend I was going for is pastels, which you probably know is one of my fave trends ever. I added my favourite bag, some shiny mint shoes & a cupcake bow to finish my look. Just imagine it's spring, not the middle of summer & this would be perfect!
