Ruby Rockcake

Whilst away on holiday we ended up in Lyme Regis again like Weymouth on the coast and with a bustling little town with one hell of a hill to climb up!  I'm not too much into fossils so was on the hunt for stuff to bring back from our trip.

Ruby Rockcake  is located on the main street in town and is full of lovely household items and accessories.  Selling everything from novelty lighting to tea towels me and partner found at least five things in there we wanted within five minutes of entering the shop! (The flamingo lights above I'd been on the hunt for since last year!)  I came across a super cute white rabbit night light I couldn't resist and a heart pin wheel (can never have enough pins!)

My boyfriend loved the Blossom and Bill tea towels so I bought him the pink one for when we are in our new home later this year! :) I still have a ton of wish list items from the RR website including the Rob Ryan egg cups, Dolly girl retro lunchbox and the Rice Gnome candles.

I adore shops alike to that of a Aladdin's cave of items and this store is just that, nestled into the high streets pretty line up of shops this is a must for any kitsch creative with home styling and love of unique pieces. This is only my second trip to the shop (first time I bought my pastel dotty bunting!) But it's on my list to go back to next time I'm down south.

Check out the store HERE they are also on Instagram  which is packed with images of the shops lovely items.

Flamingo lights- £14.99

Blossom and Bill tea towel- £10.00

Heart Pin wheel- £2.50

Bunny light up night light- £4.99

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,

Christmas Haul 2013

Merry Christmas 2013 everyone, hope lots of lovely things were delivered Christmas morning for you all :3
I really had a lovely Christmas, my favourite part being buying the gifts for everyone, I love spending the time debating the best stocking fillers, cards and ribbon and am pleased to say everyone was happy with their presses on Xmas morning!  So now I want to jump on somewhat of a bandwagon with the Christmas haul posts and share with you a few things purchased and some things I got for Christmas in this post.

1.  Smashbox.  My mum got me a set of three primers from them, I've been meaning to invest in a new primer since my Laura Mercier one ran out a few months ago, they make such a difference and your skin is incredibly soft after.  The set consisted of a hydrating, photo finish and "luminizing" miniature trio. I've used all three and found the photo finish is my favourite and the most sleek. I'd definatly recommend smash box the products are lovely and last all day!

2. Bleach London hair products.  I've never used Bleach products before, I saw them on a 3for2 at Boot's and thought I'd stock up. The white toner and silver conditioner are always going to be good for me and regularly used as I always keep on top of a brassy free Blonde when my pink hair fades.  The Rose dye is semi permanent as they usually are, I'm very curious to see the colour result and will write a post when I have done so!

3. Sugar skull mug.  My Boyfriend got me this and I love him even more for it! it's been sitting on my wish list for months, I'm using it as a pen pot out of fear of smashing it!

4. Pink glitter hard iPhone case/ Topshop.  I got this after needing something to hold simply my iPhone and my credit card it's durable, tough, only £15 and covered in glittering sequins, need I say anymore?

5. Lush light star bath melt.  Soak in glitter.

6. Red or Dead pink glittered heels.  Again from my boyfriend,  love at first sight, these bad boys are for special occasions

7. White rabbit vintage fabric purse.  Christmas present don't know where it was bought from but I love the print and the fabric and its big enough to carry your change and your lipstick in !
