My birthday is next Monday and I’m really excited because Kurt and I have planned a lovely weekend to celebrate. On Sunday we are gonig to the Frock Me! Vintage fashion fair in Chelsea. I’ve never been to a vintage fair before so I’m really excited. I’ll be looking for new tilt hats and summer dresses. Then on Monday we are gonig into central london to do a spot of shopping at Vivienne Westwood and Irregular choice. And I’m hoping to pop along to the Laduree which is jsut around the corner from Alexander Mcqueen.

Last week I got a parcel from my lovley Mum in Australia containnig lots of goodies! Including this cool cupcake book.

Plus a gorgeous owl necklace from an etsy seller that was at a craft fair in Brisbane (bless Mum for supporting handmade). Lip balm, fabrics, texta pens, sewing patterns, a polka dot tin (perfect for storing buttons and bits) and this amazing shopper bag that she made! It looks like a strawberry with a drawstring and then it folds out into a shopper bag, perfect for putting in my tote. Mum used green and pink gingham and some strawberry fabric for the front. I need to show you pics its so cool!

Today I bought myself the hummingbird bakery recipe book. By golly there are some amazing looking recipes! I’m eager to try out the green tea cupcake recipe. YUM!

Well I have to go now, making Kurt a very special dinner, hes been working day and night on this new project and desrves something nice.

Will hopefully psot my flower belt tutorial tomorrow!

I got a tiny bit over-excited about my citron macaron

I went to Paris on the weekend and had the most amazing time. The city is so full of history and beautiful buildings. I nearly wanted to cry when a French lady said “Merci”, I was like finally I’m in Paris! The Eiffel tower was so much bigger than I expected, Notre dame was beautiful and of course the Louvre was everything you would expect. The best experience of course was going to La Duree. We had the most gorgeous hot chocolate and the most amazing dessert I’ve ever even looked at. I bought a box of macarons that came in this gorgeous box that I will keep forever and ever! Paris is the perfect romantic city!

My La Duree goodie bag

I’ve spotted a few adorable things online today, so thought I’d share!

I’m not a HUGE mushroom fan, but this journal and plume pen set is so cute!

We’ve already got the titanic and space invaders tray now I need more! These tiki heads would be perfect for silly luau parties.

This is so adorable!!!! Lollipop brooch, why didn’t I think of that?

This is so exciting! I’ve always loved with Jane Austen’s pride and prejudice, and this book puts you right in it! its silly, but totally cute!

This is definitely on my wish list for Christmas, actually I might have to go out and by one BEFORE then!

Its getting mighty cold London now, so I’m in need of a good little milk pan, this one looks perfect!

Got to go now, home time! x
