Crystalized Chic

I recently discovered and fell in love with a wonderful new collection from Swarovski featuring customizable charm bracelets with lots of different cute and sparkly clip on charms : )

I particularly love anything with aurora borealis crystals as they have a wonderful mesmerizing holographic/rainbow feel to them.

The collection also features a range of kawaii/japanese style charms such as the 'Erika' Charm (in photo above) which is a cute robot-character studded with AB crystals- the body of the character actually moves too!


I bought the Erika Charm, light blue crystal whale charm and the AB heart crystal charm on the silver bracelet.

I now know what I will be getting for my next birdthay/christmas's for a while!

Cruising, and Cocktails, and Cakes! Oh My!

I have just come back from a 2 week cruise sight-seeing around the Mediterranean. (Slight shock being back in the not-so-sunny UK weather!!!)

I saw so many beautiful places and architecture- including Park Guell in Barcelona by the famous Antonio Gaudi, the stunning Colleseum in Rome, The Church San Giacomo in Santa Margherita- Italy, and the pretty and quaint town of Toulon in the south of France.
I particulary adored the architecture on the traditional houses, with beautiful shuttered windows, window boxes and opulent facades.

New illustrations March 2011 ♥

A little sneaky preview of a couple of new illustrations I have been working on...

On another note I would like to send out my deepest sympathy and thoughts with those affected by the earthquake & tsunami in and around Japan today. For those of us who are lucky lets appreciate being safe, warm and dry.

LCF ♥ The Body Shop

Check out this super gorgeous new limited edition range of make up
I discovered today in the Body Shop!


The Body Shop has collaborated with The London College of Fashion to create 'Brush with Fashion' - a new exlusive make-up range comprising of an illuminating face highlighter, high-shine lip gloss and cheek tint, and two eye shadow palettes.

The stylish and fashionable collection was launched with a catwalk show, showcasing designs created by former students William Tempest and Jena. Theo. Meanwhile the products were put through their paces by another LCF graduate - make-up artist Nikki Palmer, who created the look for the show.


And not only does it look very pretty but it's also a sustainable and cruelty-free make-up range, yey!




I bought the eye-shadow palette which comes with a small eyeliner pencil and make-up brush. The colours are perfect shades if you want a contrasting dark and light eye shade.
I usually like a dark outline with white to highlight the corners of the eyes. Extend the eyeliner out for a cool, cat-like shape and add some fanned false eyelashes for a pretty geisha feel.

Happy Bunny New Year!

A person born in the year of the Rabbit possesses one of the most fortunate of the twelve animal signs. The Rabbit, or Hare as he is referred to in Chinese mythology, is the emblem of longevity and is said to derive his essence from the Moon. Rabbit symbolizes such character traits as crea...tivity, compassion, and sensitivity. Rabbits are friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others. They also prefer to avoid conflict. In confrontational situations, Rabbits approach calmly and with consideration for the other party. Rabbits believe strongly in friends and family :)

Check out loads of new jewellery in the boutique including the Bunnycakes Brooch and Ring!

tales of tinsel

As you may have already probably guessed I LOVE christmas!
I'm kinda obsessed with ornaments and objects which give a memory- of childhood or of the time you discovered each object and fell in love with its glitter sheen or pretty detailing.
I have quite a large collection of decorations for my christmas tree and each year I love re-discovering them and admiring their beauty.
I hope you enjoy this sweet snippets of my tree as much as I do : )

Hey! Check out some new illustrations I've been working on for a brand new Roxie Sweetheart collection!
The drawings have a hand-drawn fairytale feel, inspired by children's toys from the 80's,
vintage illustration and sweet Tokyo fashion like Gothic Lolita and Anime characters.
