the past week

well, i've had a hectic few weeks recently! had all of my university year 1 work to hand in and after the deadline i went to London for a few days with my friend Abby to visit our friend Leigh in Kingston.

we visited the David Shrigley exhibition and it was so fantastic! accidentally laughed out-loud at one of the videos which was quite embarrassing as nobody else did laugh...

I had a great weekend! although for the past week i have felt really unproductive... just found my mum's old sewing machine so i might start that and make it my hobby.

anyways, recent star buy!

a gorgeous typewriter in a turquoise colour! majority of the keys work except one, and one of them is missing which isn't really a required key. but i love it! i decided to buy it to re-brand my business and hand-type each envelope to clients :)

a bit of DIY

as i have developed a 'little' obsession of obtaining and owning film cameras, my room couldn't accomodate the amount of space they were taking up. for weeks i bugged my dad to put shelves up in my room, and i promised him that it'd look fantastic with all of the quirky and gorgeous cameras i owned - he finally gave in!

i think the white shelves look fantastic in my room :) it contrasts nicely with the black frame of my print seen by my computer. i'll probably end up replacing the photograph as my room looks a bit messy on here...

anyways! i'll upload a few more close up photographs of the shelf and a more detailed post on which cameras i own soon as my university work dies down :) i have a deadline on friday for literally everything i have done in the first year - talk about pressure aaaaaah.

hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

a long awaited package finally arrived...

my new pair of vulcanized burgundy vans!!!

i have waited a year and a few months for these - i'm a size 5 and they ALWAYS sell out my size first :( each time they came back in stock i was either a bit short of cash or they sold out. the 3rd time they came out recently all of the websites had already sold out except amazon - thankfully I now own my pair and I don't wait to take them off!

recent purchases

So my boyfriend's sister Emma is incredibly talented with sewing and generally just great with creative ideas. she makes sock monkeys, she made me one last year and my family loved it that much they asked her to make another 3 which you can see below! :) the colours are gorgeous, and i love the buttons which match each monkey's theme.

the cute little bag each one arrived in!

they always look so happy and vibrant, if i could have a room full of them then i totally would!

my favourite one out of the 3 ;)
