A Tatty Devine Jubilee Gift (For Myself)

Whilst I was in Birmingham today I spotted the cutest necklace ever in Selfridges and mentally dismissed it because it probably would cost a small fortune. I couldn't stop thinking about that said necklace and went back to ask the sales assistant (after she had given me a very clear look up and down) the price. You can imagine how far my jaw dropped and how quick my debit card was jumping into the machine when she said £25. A steal! Yay!

If you've seen Avengers, wasn't it AWESOME! If you haven't, why not?!

As a fan of awesome films and all things nerd I decided to go see 'Avengers Assemble' even though I had no idea about any of the back stories or any comic book knowledge whatsoever. Not only does it contain some of the best special effects since Inception and Dark Knight, it's actually REALLY funny.

Amazing cake I found on the Internet.

Cosy and Blue - Outfit of the day (9/03/12)

I bought this jumper at Spitalfield Market, London last month for a tiny £20.  I love that it's seriously warm and has tiny pieces of different coloured fluff woven into the blue wool. It's also perfect to throw on and (literally) run for the bus in the mornings without turning up to uni and wondering why the hell I picked out this outfit..

S/S 2012 - Marc By Marc Jacobs

Marc By Marc Jacobs has always been a favourite of mine. As a teenager buying TeenVogue instead of UK teen magazines, I always used to pick out the label's pieces as my favourites without looking at the designer.  I think it was the youthful yet design-forward pieces that attracted and still attracts my attention. For the last three seasons I have watched the MBMJ show live on marcjacobs.com religiously. Family members are pre-warned, my macbook is pre-charged and all of my friends are sent the link but this time, it was being shown at 1:30am UK time and it was date night!

At 6:30am, I vaguely remember trying to navigate the Style.com app only to fall asleep holding my iPhone.  At 8am I was awake again and I managed to find a youtube video of the whole show!  Rejoice!



My first thought was that I adored the 'pop' of the shoes!

Sadly, my first thought about the clothes was that they were 'too simplistic' but after a re-watch I realised that Marc has taken classic shapes and given them a new lease of life through the neon orange, navy and neon green.  It all seems very futuristic, as if he has taken a leaf from Celine and made it youthful.

The first look

As the whole show progressed, prints had an appearance and more formal pieces came down the catwalk. The bird print is sure to be a big hit in the accessories line and I'm sure I'll be standing over the laptop case resisting the urge to splurge my uni loan.

Overall I think it is a fun collection for this fun label, I know I'll want to be skipping around in the jumpsuit next summer!  I'll leave you with the swimwear that is going to fly off the shelves in the Spring

Marc Jacobs, do you read my mind?

Marc Jacobs owns my heart.

Look how beautiful it is.

How the hell does he know about my love for satchels and Marc By Marc Jacobs?  

It's even beautiful inside.

It would look perfect with EVERYTHING I OWN.  

Big enough to hold all of my everyday junk!

It would last me a lifetime and a half.

And it comes in BLUE!

Does anyone wanna invest £440 in this bag for me please?
