Santa Came...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I realised it has been too long since i wrote my last blog! So here i am :-)

Firstly, I hope you've all had a really lovely Christmas! A white Christmas at that, a day late for us but snow is really pretty! Although, im not looking forward to driving to work...

This year, i got truly spoilt by my friends, i love them all to pieces! So i thought i would share with you some of the lovely gifts i received :-)

I spent my Christmas relaxing watching Christmas films as you do. With my beautiful foot spa ;-) Although, i put in too much bath cream so i had constant overflowing bubbles! (by accident) Which i had to do something about before dad saw! Oopsie! Afterwards, i used Soap and Glory Heel Genius foot cream, which made my feet feel baby smooth! ;-) I love it! Huge thanks to my lovely friend, Stefi, you are a doll :-)

I received these top two super duper pretty bracelets! L O V E them!!! 

Thanks Jo! ;-)

I'm not sure if someone is trying to tell me something but i seemed to have received quite a lot of smellys! :-P But i don't care, because i love smellys! I have dedicated a whole shelf in my wardrobe for all my bath and shower creams, face creams, etc, etc, etc!! Lush, i love! the only problem i have, dad knocked our bath out and replaced it with a shower... Looks like i'll be paying visits to my brothers to use his bath as i love a good bath bomb! ;-)  Here, i received some body and butter creams, soap and glory! Can't be unhappy with that can you really?

I adore snow fairy! Just saying...

I received this lovely leather handbag from my brother and his beautiful fiancée! It's my favourite! Feels so nice and really nice quality inside and out! 

Thankyou!

 And while I'm at it, i thought i would share with you, what i usually carry around with me in my handbag! Starting with a bit of make up, obviously. Concealer and  my Katie and Maybelline Lipstick are a must! I wear red for days when im making a real effort and my soft light brown for every day use! You don't know who you may see when you nip out! ;-)  Secondly i have my very horrible hairy barrel brush!! It's horrendous but good and handy for a bit of 'Oomf' to your hair! Carmex... my lips are terrible for being chapped, so its a must that i carry this around! I have my new perfume that dad bought me, bless his cotton socks! ;-) Britney Spears, best of both! Midnight Fantasy and Fantasy! It smells so Lush. Phone Charger.... i'm always on my phone so the battery doesn't last long and it makes you a hero for if one of your friends needs to borrow it! ;-) And last but not least, obviously my lovely brown leopard print leather purse from Barcelona! minus the money.. :-/

So here are some of my favourite goodies! I feel super duper lucky and really loved! 

Thankyou to all my beautiful friends!

Hope you all had a fab Christmas!

Dee!

Heads Scalfs

Lately, I've seen a lot of girls walking around with head scarfs on... some are different to others but im loving it! Here are a few examples...

Feeling 'Hippy' Inspired

Summer Inspirations!

Lace Inspiration

There is so much inspiration when it comes to summer wear. One thing im loving this summer, is lace! Which is often made from cotton and is designed with open holes, some of different sizes or shapes! Here's some favourite's of mine!

I feel like this dress has a bit of a hippie look about it, adorable!

 

 

Lace shoes! Look girly and super cute!

 

My Pinterest Addiction.

I used to really get upset with myself when i struggled to find inspiration for a project at College or University, But then Pinterest came into my life!

 

On pinterest, i found so much to do! It's basically a Social Networking site, similar to Blogging! I spend hours on it, just looking at images and idea's. It really is fantabidozie!

This is my main page, where i find new things to inspire me, These are images people have 'pinned' to their boards. If i like something, i normally tend to 're-pin' it onto one of my 'boards' so i can look back at it but to also show my friends what i've found.

This is my 'Boards'(theme/group) page. Full of my different interests, from fashion, food, to things like architecture, etc! These are where all my images are, some that i've added myself, some that i've 're-pinned' from what other's have pinned. It's all just about sharing inspiration and inspiring others!

I find myself on this website for hours, really is a good cure for boredom! There is many things to look at, if it's not in the mains list, your more than likely that you'll find it if you put some key words in the search box.

So yes, im totally addicted, I'ts constantly giving me new idea's... being a fashion design student, i can get a lot of idea's from the images i come across, including sketchbook inspiration to go with it! 

I CAN'T STRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE IT!

Hippies, Gypsies Fashion Inspiration

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but most of the time we can tell the personality of a person, by what they are wearing.

 

Today there are many styles out there. But one that I personally like, is the Hippy/Gypsy sort of look. It originated back in the 60's and 70's, which seems to be making a comeback as 'BoHo-Chic'

 

I realised this when doing a 60's project last year at University, I found myself spending hours just researching and collecting images as the mix of colourful patterns, materials and accessories caught my eye and ever since, I still find myself doing it. 

 

Hippie's had a different meaning in life, they lived for the freedom and had a big influence on music.

I just love everything about this Culture!
