My May looks to be turning into a month orientated around fabric, florals, sewing tools and a dash of polka dots for good measure. I've got little left of two months to finish my year at university until September with two finished garments to be completed, styled/ photographed and modelled, so no pressure then?
I've just started my new job at Cath Kidston (eeeee!) so thats going to be brilliant for inspiration but terrible for my bank balance! (I already have a new outfit) See above.
My new Paperchase organiser you can see also, is yet to be unpackaged as it only commences from July this year. I am constantly trying to find ways to keep myself organised in the most efficient way possible and this beautifully patterned diary should do just that. You can probably also make out a cheeky box of Viennese truffles, these were a little treat for myself from Thornton's and absolutely gorgeous and the box has conveniently doubled up as a holder for my rings (well thats my justification for buying them anyway! ;])

Hello 2014

I've tried to not buy much after Christmas because I splurged on gift buying. So far I've not done too badly but some stuff has sneaked through onto my bank balance, above as pictured are some of the things I couldn't resist.

- Iconemesis is a wonderful little online shop for your much needed iPhone case covers. They work with independent artists to produce these truly lovely and unique accessories for your mobile. Artists such as Sarah King, Cat Sims and Fifi Lapin all feature in the designs available. I couldn't resist the sale online at the moment and got my hands on the Fifi featured above, being a fashion design student seemed appropriate in a way and its so cute.

- Deborah Lippmann should win an award for making nail paint look so yummy, this leading to worry that maybe I will start biting my nails more as a result of purchasing her "I'm not edible" polish despite the name acting as a deterrent for such actions. I found it online at a reduced price and at the time was torn between this one and the Illamasqua "Scarce" which is similar for the flecks in the paint but more of a nude colour than lilac

- Delilah Dust is where everyone should go for gorgeous pieces of jewellery, handcrafted and individually made and packaged for the customer, the shop sells beautiful Rings, Necklaces, top finger rings, bracelets and even iPhone cases too! A lot of the items are made with rocks such as Amethyst, Agate & Crystal Quartz. The pieces really are gorgeous and I couldn't resist the Druzy Fuchsia ring with the edged silver ring, the colour is amazing.

I'd like to say for the sake of saving money this was everything I've ended up buying in sales this month but unfortunately i'd be lying. I've had the second few hours of my tattoo done it's still yet to be coloured in, I go to an amazing guy in Chester city centre who I've been going to for almost a year now and his work is immaculate. Check him out here. On the ASOS sale I found a lovely Paul and Joe make up bag I NEEDED and have had a few lovely items from Crown and Glory, which I will post about soon enough separately :3

Best Wishes,
