Back from my holidays!!!!!

Hi pretties! I'm back from sunning myself in Devon. Yay! Also I've travelled back with some loverly blonde hair.

It was George's birthday while we were away so I had to lug up all his presents and his cake and HIS BALLOONS!!! on the train. It was very nerve wrackings I kept thinking they were all about to pop but luckily every single member of the public is simply gorgous to you when you're carrying balloons. THANK YOU PUBLIC!!!

Also I bought a wetsuit. Yeah I look like a super hero, what of it?

Lots of Lovvvvve

Time to sell sell sell!!!

Hi there pretties

I don't have a job :( therefore saving for a Paris holiday is a troublesome thing indeed. So I got my thinking cap on and decided to make some money. So I stayed in the kitchen for about three weeks and learnt how to make macarons! Last weekend was my first sale. 

Doesn't it look snazzy!? I painted the sign and Georgie helped me make the little frame. Personally I'm mega proud.

This is the state of the macs after about an hour. Loads gone already! It was very exciting.

Anyway, long story short it went brilliantly. I've now paid for my ticket there! Wooohoooo!!! I've got a few more events coming up so I shall keep you informed. 

Viva La Macaron!!!

Time to expand the library

Recently I've become very Paris obsessed which has led to a great deal of research. Of course such a pretty city boasts pretty guide books so these are my current favourites.

Basically looks great. Available on amazon but for silly amounts of money. Much cheaper here http://www.indexbook.co.uk/libro.php?782

I am currently lusting after basically every book by this little japanese chain called Paumes which publishes the cutest books. Available here for really good prices http://www.paumes.com/book-e/book-e-booklist.html

MIAM-MIAM meets Oishi!

Pretty flowers in Paris

What more could you wish for? A book about happy people who are in love with beautiful apartments!

Macarons for your fingers!

Hi there!
I've recently become utterly obsessed with macarons due to planning a trip to Paris for my birthday! I cannot wait. Any way when browsing etsy recently I found this utterly fab jeweler who makes all kinds of treats.

 I think the macaron rings are my favourite, they are definitely the best I've seen, especially the 'feet'. Sigh I dream of them. Birthday wishlist perhaps?

Lets decorate our legs!

Hi there!
I hope life is well for all you pretty young things. In London right now we're going through a little shift; it's not quite winter but everyone is desperate to reveal the bright colours they've been holding back all winter. Que the amazing and incroyable tights from Queue des sardines. Here are a few of my faves. Enjoy!

However as usual the awesomeness of a garment and its availability are inversely proportional. :(
In England they are available at;
Selfridges (presumably in all Selfridges)
Luna and curious 24- 26 Calvert Avenue, London
Enigmatic 8 Mathew Street, Liverpool

If you're not lucky enough to live in the UK (woo patriotism) then a full list of stockists is available here as well as a look at the entire collection. http://www.les-queues-de-sardines.com/Stockists.html

I've also been mooching around etsy and have found some equally brills designs. First up the uber talented Tattoo Socks. Here are some of my favourites.

I can't decide which I like best! I'm thinking twitter for walking around town, the enchanted foresty ones for elegance and the octopus ones for when you're feeling in an octopussy mood... which is often.

All these beautiful designs are available here http://www.etsy.com/shop/post?ref=pr_shop

Next up is Pretty Penny designs
This is a new one for me, as I've never found this seller before but her designs are wonderful and very reminiscent of Lazy oaf or indeed queue des sardines (which is a huge compliment in my indie books). Here are some of my favourites but be warned as this shop also stocks lovely screenprinted clothing as well!

(I think the sailing boats are my favourites!)
All these designs (and many more) are available here http://www.etsy.com/shop/prettypennydesigns

Lastly are the amazing designs by Gal Stern. These really are worth checking out just for their elegance and sophistication.

These are available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/galstern in different colour variations too, so well worth having a peek.

That all for now pretties

Sunday 2nd January

Hey there everyone!

Happy new year! I hope you had an amazing christmas and you have lots of high hopes for 2011! I'm sorry I've been away for so long due to illness, christmas excitment and most exciting of all (because illness really isn't that exciting) I'VE BEEN CREATING THE PYT WEBSITE! It's all very fabulous and a little worrying how easy I am finding it. I am fully expecting it to crash and burn at any minute. I will upload screen shots soon.

Love Ally xxxxxx
