...Friday I'm in love

Getting ideas...

Ragwork always seems to retro to me, but it reminds me of snuggling up in the massive blanket my mum had lying in front of the fire when I was little. I love the patchwork colours in this design.

What lies beneath

I have been lusting after some beautiful lingerie from Hopeless Lingerie for absolutely ages. I am a huge fan of their blog and often drool over their beautiful inspiration photographs and the styling for their new designs. This is my ideal lingerie - part Alice in Wonderland goes burlesque, part Marie Antoinette! It is girly and frilly, with seriously sexy details. What makes them stand apart from the mainstream brands such as Agent Provocatueur is that all their items are entirely handmade! You can buy their designs on  their website, and I love that they often blog about the process behind making the many bows and frills! Basically, I want.

If you want a chance to win two pieces from the shop, you have to either leave a comment on their blog, tweet about them, write on their facebook page or write a blog post. I want some of their lingerie so badly that I am doing everything I can to stand a chance!

Blue skies are coming, but I know that it's hard

Over the last year or so I have been adding songs to Spotify playlists that are specifically designed to suit different moods. The Happy Happy Love Love playlist is so self indulgent that it could have been put together by my 16 year old self, which says a lot about how I've matured over the years! But here it is , designed to help me indulge all my angsty tendencies while at the same time reminding me to put a smile on my face and get over it. Let me know if you like it!
