1. A real BB cream. My sister bought this for me from Korea, be careful if you order from Korea as a lot of the creams contain bleach which isn't great for skin. BB cream was originally used for people post surgery as such the Korean brands are actually better than our British replicas which are more often than not just tinted moisturizer. I really like using this product, it's very light, not sticky or claggy. It also has a decent SPF to not bother with sun cream on a general day to day basis. 

 

 

2. Just popped into Miss Selfridge after a tip off from a friend to look at their jewellery and came out with this, added bonus? It was a measly £5. It is actually pretty fancy, lots of detail and thought obviously went into it. And I am a sucker for any jewellery that looks a bit Egyptian.

Iphone case: I was starting to feel a little foolish going to a grown up job with a phone that only had a variety of animal cases to chose from- all with ears might I add. So when I saw this cutie-patootie come online on ASOS, it ended up in my bag. It has the queens guards on it. Pretty cute. Very British. I can only find the ipad case now, see it there, but Beta have other sweet ones online.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

DIY Miu Miu Cady Shorts

One day I was dream shopping on Net-a-porter and came across these babies, cute! But let's be honest, £1,250 for shorts, no matter how many beads on might not be worth it. I'd rather buy a fancy bald sphinx cat. So yeah, DIY time.

You'll need:

1 pair of plain shorts, mint in colour if you are into copying the Miu Miu ones completely like me
Lots of beads, seriously, a lot.
Scissors
Thread
Hand needles

I got my shorts from Forever21, they were a cheap £12, is everything in Forever21 £12? Anyway, they were the perfect colour and the perfect price if I messed them up.

My beads were a hobby craft special. I think they were £4 for the large size tub and the beads are all randomly mixed so I could pick ones that were different colours and tones, I put in a few golds and browns to make the colours a bit deeper.

Now, I am sure that I don't need to offer instructions on to hand sew beads onto something but I shall leave you with this gem. Be careful with how many bead you sew on the insides of the legs. I went down to just one bead so it wouldn't look weird like it would have if I left it bare, but when wearing these shorts they still congregate in a rather alarming way.

Favourite Things

1. Sandal Weather. Cracking out the gold Swedish Hasbeens for a day Natural Trust garden tours. Sincerely, these shoes are the comfiest things in existence, the leather is so soft it is like not even wearing shoes. They also make your feet look small which is a blessing for my less than feminine giant, skinny feet. These are all very positive points without even considering the fact they are gold.

2. My sisters hair. Well, she has had purple hair for maybe a year now but it looked very pretty today and with a purple field full of foxgloves I kind of had to take a picture of it. She is ridiculously good at predicting, whether accidentally or intentionally, things that will become a new trend before they actually become one.

3. My mum's super cute outfit for our day out! She looks amazing in a dress and hopefully acknowledging how great she looks will mean she will wear them more. You look great Mama.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend full of sun and family time!
