Starry Eyed

I enjoy this dress immensely. I didn't think I would be getting on the star wagon but I can't deny the charms of this one and priced at £70 from Oasis it is well within my reach. I'll probably just wear it with...

My white Converse

OR

Purple Louboutins to add a bit of colour.

These platform wedges from Carvela could also be an interesting accompaniment, £150

Throwing a jumper over the dress to make it into a skirt could also be nice.. Just thinking out loud!

Russian Dolls

Since I played with my cousins Russian doll when I was little (another blog with a childhood throw back) i've been a big fan of them. I must of spoken about my love of  Russian dolls quite a bit because people keep buying them for me...

Eugenia

Laura

Hailey

The Golden girls- I need this one in my life!

Robyn in her Russian doll playsuit, you can't really see the print in this picture but they are definitely there- I had to buy it!

Pippi Langstrump

Ever since I sat in my aunts room watching the films when I was little I have been a big fan of Pippi Longstockings. I mean how can you not be? This is a girl with pig tails that stick out as if a pipe cleaner has been stuffed down them, a house called Villa Villa Kula, a monkey... A horse= amazing. Oh and she has super human strength, what more could you want?!

On a recent trip to Stockholm I was able to indulge my love of Pippi at the Astrid Lindgren (author of Pippi and lot's of other children's books) museum, thanks Eugenia!

Lulu Magazine

I stumbled upon this magazine when looking for a back issue of Lula Magazine online. I'm not sure what it is (I think one site said it was a 'humor magazine for men only') but I LOVE this illustration by cartoonist, Don Ulsh. I need to find more!

The 'girl of my dreams'- High waisted shorts with scalloped hem and mules, so pretty.

Pulp

Pulp by Byredo Perfums is expensive even by perfume standards but smells like it's worth every penny.

I first spotted this Swedish brand on a recent trip to Stockholm. It smells quite sweet but clean... It's so hard to describe scents.

Available in two sizes- 50ml (£88) and 100ml (£130)

Also lovely, a very floral scent.

Office Ballet Pumps

Is it too late to embrace the studded ballet pump? I'm not sure but these are the best high street ballerinas i've seen. Office, £55

Peyton and Byrne

I have just been given the Peyton and Byrne cook book, British Baking. I love to bake and there are sooo many recipes in this book I want to try out... My waist line might not survive this one.

The book

Carrot Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Icing, exciting!
