things i've seen #5



Well hellllllllo sunshine! Hasn't this week been gorgeous! Even the threat of my impending english exams couldn't keep me locked inside!

Whatcha been up to? 

My new Hand of Phatima bracelet (no, I'm not obsessed!!) // little sis looking cute after a charity shop rummage // me and my besties eating veggie-burgers-to-die-for in the sunshine // OOTD // tootsies on the beach // me and molly lapping up the sun // holographic philadelphia // jubilee loot at Sparks Yard, Arundel // jubilee bunting causing excitement!

PS: check out my union jack onesie and Jedward mask and tell me I am not a true patriot! My eurovision party at the weekend was a success even if dear Englebert Humpedink was not!

you need this



Love this Recommended Reading Tee from Mercy & Wild, not only is it just a cute shirt for anyone who's into a bit of literature but 25% of the profits go towards Dyslexia Action. Add to cart.

etsy update: purple shmurple shoppe

One of the greatest outcomes of the explosion in internet shopping in recent years has to be Etsy.com, you can find pretty much anything on there, from beautiful bespoke jewellery to vintage and hand-made clothes. I am an etsy nut, I admit it. 
 

For me, its the jewellery found in the many boutiquey-esque shops. Coming across Purple Shmurple Shoppe was pure chance, I believe I saw a tweet about it and decided to check it out on a whim. Am I glad I did? Helllll yes! Jeanne Silverio's designs are nomadic enough to fulfil even the most wandering of spirits yet so piquantly encapsulate the current trend for aztec, tribal and native american motifs that they suit almost any outfit.



spanish style


Denim jacket: vintage
Floral blouse: Topshop
Jeans: H&M
Flip flops: Havaianas
Basket bag: vintage

Taken last month in this beautiful village near Seville, perched on a mountain side where the houses were so tiny and looked so precariously balanced; it was both breathtaking and unnerving at the same time. I also realised, halfway up the mountain, that maybe my flip flops weren't the best option...

things i've seen #4


Again, a fairly average week filled with the delights of revision hell and all the guilt and fatigue and general blues that come with it. A week of comfort pj-ing and floods of orange juice (for the vit c!) ensued.

Did anything actually happen?
