We're packing to leave come on let's go, no no not you! Books are always first you know!

Subtle Disney reference there. I'll let you work out which movie. Books were indeed the first thing a packed for university. Unfortunately everything didn't tumble into one suitcase like it did in the movie (another clue for you). I'm a little worried about where I'm going to put it all. everything I've packed is an essential... I promise.

muchos love!

Footwear for Frosty Mornings.

I have inherited from my mother two principle weaknesses in finance, the first is shoes and the second, handbags. Unfortunately I have not a great deal of cash in the old bank account to satisfy these two expensive passions. I have however bought a couple of pairs to take with me to university and make may appearance at early morning lectures a little less shocking. I am still on the search for the perfect brogues though. Too many women in the UK have my size and too few brogues are being produced!

Secondly I wish to further delight you with a new discovery I have made. To be precise, the recent collaboration between UGG and Jimmy Choo, perhaps one of the most exciting partnerships I have come across this year. Just check out these beautiful boots! I don’t care what people say, Uggs are absolutely the most comfortable footwear I will probably ever wear. Be it a little clumsy looking, you certainly can’t go wrong in a pair of these.

They're so b e a u tiful!!!

Things English Literature has taught me.

Life is pretty hectic at the moment, I enclose my deepest apologies for the lackage of blogage. I am off to university a week today so my days are filled with the hustle and bustle of working, reading, packing and saying farewells to beloved friends. I enclose a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago, its a little rough around the ages (I was experimenting really). As I am going off to study Law I regret I will not have the time to spend reading the classics that I have come to love, here are a couple of things I have learnt along the way though:

Never throw all your hopes and dreams, heart and soul into a case in the civil court.

Bleak House, Charles Dickens

Don’t fall in love with your best friend and then marry someone else for his money. The consequences will always fall on the children.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte

Books, no matter how fantastic they are, are just stories. The minute you try and place that drama in your own life, drama will take place and it won’t have a positive effect!

Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen

Feigning death was always going to be a risky affair.

Romeo and Julliet,William Shakespeare

NEVER shoot down an Albatross.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge

The job of creating life by means of science was never intended for mankind. We are far too selfish to play God.

Frankenstein, Mary Shelley

and one I cannot take any credit for in the slightest;

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife."

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

you may find me walking my German Shepherd.

Sometimes I dream of being a flower girl

I'm not a particularly artistic person, but I do have an undying love for beautiful things. Usually I buy them (when they are affordable), I never make them. When my friend came home from a festival this summer with a beautiful floral head wreath I just had to have one myself. So we took a trip to Hobbycraft and created what follows. I loved mine so much I made another.

I made this one as a gift. I love the colours.

So simple to make! Just time consuming..
