so i figured this week instead of looking at other peoples blogs and being jealous of how much they add to it and how frequently i thought why not just do it! i've made myself a kind of timetable of regualr things to add to it and on sunday i thought i would give a run down of what i've been looking at and doing.. hopefully people will find it interesting! so here goes the first of my "what i liked this week"

1. jasper james: people and places series photography! such a simple but effective idea! gorgeous photos!

2. illustration by robert maple gave me inspiration to 'have a go' myself at illustrating my favourite camera-my purple holga! it's no way as cute as his and i wasn't trying to copy at all but it's been a while since i used illustrator and photoshop so i thought i'd have a cheeky go! and it was soo quick and easy and made me really want to keep on illustrating but using drawings! probably about time i stopped talking about it and did it, huh?

3. jellyfishing, jellyfishing, jellyfishing! said in the voice of spongebob squarepants obviously! found these amazing images and fell in love with the colours! jellyfishes freak me out a little bit though so i am grateful for other people being that brave to go under the sea to take them for my enjoyment!

4. i am officially now a craftgawker!! a new addiction! kind of like pinterest with lots of pictures and ideas for a variety of d.i.y projects! you should definitely check it out!

5. making my own jewellery! i have been playing around with making things like pin cushions and phone cases but came up with some good ideas for jewellery and i'm pretty happy with the final outcome! i had the lime green coloured felt and thought mixed with the pink and purple it would look nice and fit well into spring/summer season! the lime is just a hint of neon and the pink and purple are just the right shade! i wore it with a shirt, not the denim one in the picture but it fits great just under the collar and think it makes a real statement! going to start making more when i can afford some supplies and hopefully they'll go down well!

so i hoped you liked some of things i did this week and i will be back next week to do the same! hope you've all had a lovely weekend and been enjoying the sunshine!

this blog needs some excitement...

i guess things are still new and well i don't think i have any follwers haha but either way i'm going to keep blogging and going to make it more of a just fashion related blog, i really want to put up some outfit looks and share my wish lists with you all too, just have to get in the swing of things and hire a photographer and pose!

as promised i've put up a picture showing my attempt at leopard print, i just painted one finger nail as i really like the effect and how much it stands out on the hand! i used avon's nailwear pro in pink radiance for the base colour and 17's fast finish nail polish in twist which i thought looked amazing next to the pink and really made the effect stand out more! i've taken the picture holding my cross necklace that i am a little obsessed with wearing everyday, i'm not really religious in the slightest but i've found myself wanting to wear cross jewellery all the time and have purchased some silver cross dangly earrings from ebay! i will hopefully be wearing them in future outfit posts so you will see them very soon..

think that's all for now!
