For my love of Tea.

I have recently purchased a La Cafetiere teapot which i'm rather excited to start using! It arrived today, a lovely cream modern teapot ready to brew the finest tea!


I have also got some lovely white peony, lychee red and silver needle loose tea on its way from JING tea ready to experiment how tea should be done properly :-) 



For my love of tea!

Children in Need National Treasures


Loving these from the amazing Liberty store :)

"The traditional yellow Pudsey has been recreated in an array of different fabrics from suede to leather; in a rainbow of different colours; from silver to blue, and in a variety of different patterns; from tartan to floral. Each Designer Pudsey is unique and will allow fans of both the Bear and the designers the opportunity to own a piece of fashion history.

Giles Deacon used his Spring/Summer 2012 collection as inspiration turning Pudsey into a silver leather vision; Patrick Grant, Henry Holland and Jonathan Saunders have all gone for varying shades of tartan; while Erdem's 2012 spring collection has been a huge influence on his creation and Pringle have gone for pure cashmere, with 1 carat diamonds to finish off Pudsey’s cardigan. These Bears are not only beautifully designed, but also offer an insight into fashion trends for 2012, straight from the designers themselves. We've even created our very own Liberty Print bear! "- Liberty.co.uk














Absolutely love this idea of taking something so iconic and being creative with it for charity, I want to make my own pudsey bear!!

Great British Bake Off....

Well i got absolutely addicted and definitely obsessed with this year's Great British Bake Off... such stunning bakes were produced, from cupcakes to pies to creme patisserie. What a colorful and amazing opportunity these bakers had with this competition really made me quite jealous of their lives. I am not a great baker i try my best but I definitely struggle! Really please Jo won, she developed and created some amazing flavour combination. Her last challenge was beautiful in that amazing cage with flowers! Here is to baking :)

Topshop's 214 magazine...

I was in London today and had the opportunity to pick up the new A/W 11 issue of Topshops 214 magazine. I have to say it didn't excite me as much as i thought it would. Usually it has some really creative pages like still live shoots in exciting ways but this time it was mainly 2D and quite basic.
It's a magazine i'd always love to work on, but this time round it has slightly disappointed me! The shoots however do look strong but there's something not so inspiring about it this time.

It's the little things...

I love when you have those moments where everything feels dreamy and you actually feel your head is in a little lovely bubble. Those moments are rare these days, with a 9 to 5 office job listening to stroppy customers the little things in life are becoming more significant, i treasure my weekends, i love breakfast, moments to myself having a cup of tea become a little delightful, Sunday evenings sat on the sofa watching Downtown Abbey are some of my beloved dates of the week! I may sound silly, but sometimes I look back at the last three years and think how great the little moments are, those are the ones I remember. Time is going really fast and it does actually scare me to my very soul! But along with my boring nine to five job I have had to let my creative juices flow so this blog is just a little collection of my thoughts, big or small! I wear my heart on my sleeve and i love to dream.

Still love her since day one..

Since day one her music has been so touching and honest. I just love her in this film, there's something so real and so endearing about Adele, she wears her heart on her sleeve and I love every track she produces, especially Someone like You, everyone can relate to this situation and I just think its a gorgeous track.

PLUS! absolutely loving her in the new issue of Vogue, wow what a stunner, shes real shes curvy and she is just so real! Amazing :)
