Happy New Year

bowbelfast — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:30:54 +0000

Happy New Year, did you have a good one? I spent mine with the boy and his family, it was a nice way to bring in the new year. This year one of the resolutions I have made is to try and embrace the way I look. I don’t know about you out there but I get hung up on the idea of perfection. My idea of perfection when it comes to me and my body is very tainted by what I see in the magizines and the memory of what I was like when I was 16. Now that I have ‘grown up’ I’m not massive but I am no longer stick thin, I have curves and sometimes I struggle to accept that I no longer have legs like Bambi. This isn’t right, I shouldn’t feel like this at all and yet I know I’m not the only girl who does feel like this. So this year I will strive to accept me as I am, stop trying to conform to fashions that will never suit my figure and develope my own sense of style that suits me rather than the catwalk.

This year I will experiment and learn to have fun with how I look. I’m super excited for 2010. Hope you are too.

Floral Fixation

bowbelfast — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:35:15 +0000

Recently I bought a beautiful floral scarf, it kind of reminds me of Russian folk art, The first day I wore it I wore it with a floral tea dress and one of my favourite coats, which is lined with floral material and is adorned with a beautiful floral brooch.

Today I have become enarmoured with a beautiful floral necklace, my obsession with florals is verging on dangerous, I may soon become a walking garden.

It’s a list of things that I want but prolly won’t ever get, it’s still fun to dream.

One of the things I want is a drawer full of beautiful hosery and little socks to wear with brogues. These beauties are right up my street:

So pretty and feminine. Betsy Johnson you always manage to knock my socks off (terrible pun definatly intended)

Lovely things

I have ‘the want’ big time. Look at these lovely little things:

1.Little toy boat necklace

I love this little boat for many reasons: it reminds me of Max’s boat from ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, I am kind of in love with the sense of adventure it conveys and it reminds me of the unknown and I adore the little wave. Yellow Goat

2. How insanely amazing is this diary?!

Stunning, gorgeous, fantastic. I want to keep an art journal/doodle journal/writing journal/inspiration diary. I adore this Moleskin. Amazon

3. Oh no… where will I keep it though… how about this amazing satchel?

This is actually great. I love the sunny colour. The Cambridge Satchel Company

All these things seem like props I will need for an adventure Life is a pretty unusual and interesting thing.

These Boots Are Made For Walking

This week I bid farewell to a pair of boots that I loved, I was going to replace them with the exact same pair but I’ve fallen in love with these Urban Outfitters boots:

I adore the vintage look and the fact that they are flats. I think I must add them to my collection. LOVE

Pretty Petals

bowbelfast — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:42:24 +0000

I am a big fan of the quirky whimsy head wear as anyone who has ever seen me rocking a massive bow will understand. I am a missive fans of these little bobby pins from Petals:

Such a pretty colour, they look so delicate and would look lovely styled into a wedding hair style were you that way inclined. I think they are simply smashing (and as we fast approach the festive season they’d make a swell present for your sister).

I’ll be back with gift guides this week, one for boys and one for girls. I love Christmas shopping, so much fun.

Get Knitted Out

bowbelfast — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:49:59 +0000

I have always had a thing for chunky knits. The weather this weekshows that we are flying into winter (where has Autumn gone!!) and just to prove it it’s been super cold. Oh how I would love to have one of these babies to wrap up warm in:

Yokoo‘s shop is full of wonder, if you like you’re knits big and making a statement check it out. She has amazing style as well, her haircut is awesome.

You Give Me A Frill

bowbelfast — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:31:04 +0000

There are awesome date dresses over at Nadinoo’s shop on Etsy, may i suggest to get you’re mouse over there and check it out?!

I love how feminine and pretty these dresses are. They are the perfect dresses to go out with the intention of knocking your boy dead… I love the texture and prints on the dresses, there’s just something very simple and sexy about these dresses, very sensory. Simply Lovely.

Frankly my Deer

bowbelfast — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:31:03 +0000

I have a thing for charming tea towels, and they don’t come more charming than this:

A) It’s green

B) It has a deer on it

C) It has a cute little message on it

All these things combined make it awesome. I would happily add this to my tea towel collection, though I don’t think I’d have the heart to dry anything with it…
