Birthday Wishes

It's my birthday in a few weeks, and I've spent ages trying to make a list of things I’d like for my mum. I mainly just like surprises though. I desperately need a new camera and a new phone, but I cant seem to find one that I like enough. I think there is a huge market for more feminine looking mobile phones.

As for little bits, I’d love some t shirts by Every Little Counts, a pair of lightning bolt earrings from All Saints, my favourite shop. The Vanity Fair Portraits book by Grayden Carter and Fashionista: A Century Of Style Icons by Simone Werle looks brilliant. I’d love to get my hands on some Tokyomilk products, the packaging is just beautiful. I found this great necklace on the trashandluxury website, shaped like a cat’s head and it has “The Cat’s Meow” engraved on it, a 1920’s slang phrase that i have always loved. And then just make up, underwear, books, baking accessories and of course silver bangles to add to my collection.

Raspberry & Coconut Love

I'm feeling very weary at the moment, i just want to curl up with a blanket and watch old movies. I'm so disappointed with the summer weather, i had hoped to be out enjoying the sunshine, which makes a November trip to California sound even more appealing. On Friday i enjoyed a lovely sunny day in Brighton, shopping and having lunch with Kelly. We then got raspberry and coconut Shakeaways and sat by the pavilion people watching. I love watching children play. I defiantly want to raise my children in Brighton, it has the best of everything, it's so cosmopolitan and laid back, it's where i feel most at home.

Anyways I've ordered a bunch of DVD's in case the weather doesn't pickup, "I Capture The Castle", "Seven Pounds", "My Summer Of Love" & "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist". Now i need to sit down and organise my birthday celebrations and make a birthday list!!

Happy Birthday Auntie Farn!

Today was my Aunt's Birthday. I haven't seen her for a while as she went to Santa Cruz to visit my cousin so i sent her one of my hand made cards to wish her a Happy Birthday. I love making things for people, i think it's so much nicer when people have put a lot of thought into a gift. My favourite things to make are cards, mix tapes and collages with photo's and bits from magazines.
