Tuesday 7th December

Hey everyone, the illness rages on. Sigh. Luckily I now have something to occupy my time. Today my brother sent me this text.
The streaming is in fact here http://firefoxlive.mozilla.org/ and should be viewed by everyone! Also if you download the new addition of firefox the darling cubs get a new toy! Don't deny the cubs their toys!
secondly, a couple of posts ago I spoke about the dr seuss fish and how I didn't like them because they looked like mammals. Well I've found one! It called a rat fish. This example is a stuffed one at the oxford natural history museum, which is by the way fab.
That's all for now guys, back to my duvet.

Saturday 27th November

Hey! I had a brilliant wonderful birthday despite being a bit ill and rubbish.
This is the cake my mum made me. Isn't it wonderful!? It has 17 penguins and 17 candles of course. My brother would like to point out the penguin at the side of the cake who throwing a snowball at the other penguins. He made that one. He is proud.
This is the moustachio necklace that zanny bought me! I love it so so so so so much, if i put it on my upper lip I look rather posh and gentlemanly. I am going to join debate club just so I can wear it when I make a pompous point.
This is the beautiful bracelet my mum made me, isn't it perfect? Each cupcake is different and perfect. My favourite is the dragonfruit cupcake, the one with little black dots. But they are all beautiful.
My favourite thing is pancakes with maple syrup. My mum also made this ring for me, isn't it sweet?
If you've never ordered anything from Paul's boutique you have not lived!!!!

My parents bought me a lovely Paul's blazer and a brilliant light pink dress with the classic sequins on the back. And look at that tissue paper!
My friend Jorj bought me this amazing rin because I love the video game Bioshock so much.
This is the pretty antique brooch that Guyguy bought me. Its ever so lovely, I think I might wear it in the middle of a bow tie, I think that would look really good.
This is what Georgie bought me. A DINOSAUR!! A wonderful silver dinosaur necklace, I love him. I don't think he has a name yet, but I'm sure he will soon.
George also bought me this amazing happy narwhal t-shirt! I love him so much, but then again who could dislike a happy narwhal.
I also love robots, so he bought me a robot hoody. It is great and snuggly and great. Thank you my darling!
AND on top of all these wonderful things my parents also bought me tickets to go and see LADY GAGA!!! I am sooooo excited!!!!!
I best go to bed now, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Tuesday 23rd November

My last ever day of being 16! Wooohooo!!!!
Today I have discovered the wonder of feathers. yay!
I think these ear rings are just gorgeous, and they're 14 inches long!!! I love it they must look like pony tails when you were them. They are rooster and pheasant feathers. I think it is the rooster feathers that have stripes, aren't they fantastic?
Aren't the colours beautiful!? I think these may be my absolute favourite. These, along with so many other amazing feathery creations are made by DartHeart on etsy. Have a look, they are inspired! http://www.etsy.com/shop/DartHeart
If you want to try making your own you really must look at the amazing shop Bearybox on etsy. Their feathers are absolutely beautiful and are available in the most amazing colours. I haven't seen dyed peacock feathers before but I think they are so pretty! Especially the pink. Even if you don't want to make your own, this shop is fascinating and well worth a browse. http://www.etsy.com/shop/BearyBox
Nightnight all, I'm off to turn 17!

Saturday 20th November

Hey saturday blogging peeps.

My first saturday post ever! woohoo! Today I had a lil bit of a Dr Seuss thing going on. Now I feel a bit guilty about this because I was by no means a Dr Seuss kid, like at all. To be honest I found the illustrations totally creepy... I still do a bit. Especially the fish, why on earth do they look like mammals!? But I love the rhymes. And I loved visiting Dr Seuss world in Florida so I think I'm converting... it's just those fish.

I love these guys. I loved them before I knew what they were. In fact before I even knew they were a thing I bought a thing 1 t shirt. So when I discovered that they had blue hair. I was sold. These brilliant ear rings are made by CREATEHAPPINESS on etsy. This shop is jam packed with amazing themed jewelry, check it out at     http://www.etsy.com/shop/CREATEHAPPINESS
I think this is what sparked my interest. This is the amazing Seuss inspired collection by the amazing Robert Kaufman, fabric designer extraordinaire. I love love love this collection and there is plenty more to see than this. They are available all over etsy, mainly in fat quarters but yardage is available. Get this set at http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyHeartandSew This is such a lovely shop with really beautifully put- together sets.
Its items like this that just make me want to have a daughter to wrap up in brightly coloured fabric! This fab dress is made by Hot Tots Cool kids 2, which incidentally has some amazing designs that made me go awww. Check them out here http://www.etsy.com/shop/hottotscoolkids2 and if you have a daughter for goodness' sake buy the lot!
Lastly is this pretty jug made by the uber talented Mary Judy on etsy. A load of their designs are brightly coloured and Seuss inspired and definitely definitely worth a look. http://www.etsy.com/shop/maryjudy
That's all folks

Friday 19th November

Hey guys
I really apologise for my erratic blogging. I hate to say this but I fear it shall continue a bit longer as I have come down with the lurgy. I have decided though instead of moping around the place I will dedicate my time to finding cool stuff! Yay!
Ok so today I discovered the wonders of Puppycatmeow. Her amazing shop is dedicated to creating hair extension pieces and clips and generally pretty great stuff. These pretty lil bun covers are simply placed over pigtails. ooooh!
I think this is really sweet. It a hair clip and that can placed just about anywhere on your head and still look amazing.
As a bit of a Lady Gaga fanatic I'm more than a little interested in this hair bow. I've seen loads of these things about but I think this example looks a lot bigger than others. Also I love the colour! Too few people can match their lipstick to their hair colour.
These are just so darn cute. Who doesn't want roses made of hair!?
Ok so this is the one I'm really impressed with. I love it when I see photos of people with this hairstyle. It's so perfect for proms and weddings and stuff. But it always strikes me that you need sooo much hair to even attempt it. However this braid can be threaded into short hair (she recommends your pony tails be about three inches) and give you this perfect up do! Love it!
I am so excited about this! I bought mine tonight and I cannot wait til it arrives! I bought mine dark brown, which I am a little worried about as it may not look as beautifully shiny as the reds but ahh well, I'm almost certain I will be buying one in the beautiful amber colour very soon. Fauxhawks all the way! All this brill stuff can be bought at                                       http://www.etsy.com/shop/Puppycatmeow
I'm gonna go spend some quality time with my duvet now. See y'all

Thursday 4th November

Hey everyone, here is my outfit for today. My gorgous dark green rag doll dress, pink tights and white bow shoes. Yay!!!
For no really reason I have decided today is unicorn day! So on the trawl for unicorn costumes I found these amazing unicorn horns made by che4u.They are made with glitter in them and can be worn on clear headbands, how cool is that? You should check out the entire shop, there is such a big mix of amazingly detailed horns and ears and things. It is perfectly amazing. http://www.etsy.com/shop/che4u?ref=seller_info
I really love these cameos, especially because of the cute little unicorn looking all sincere and sensible. I mean if i was a unicorn I would not be looking so serene. But they are and I love them for it. Made by glamasaurus (WHAT A NAME!!!) on etsy, sigh yet another amazing shop with so much to choose from! Make sure to check out the lego earrings! http://www.etsy.com/shop/glamasaurus?ref=seller_info
Last but by no means least, the amazing amazing amazing dress by the shockingly talented devaniweaver. This girl has such a future ahead of her, her designs are so fresh and new and deserve a whole feature just to themselves. Tomorrow possibly? Anyway, definate favourite of tonight. If you only check out one thing tonight make it this shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/devaniweaver?ref=seller_info#
Nightnight chickadees!

(actual) Wednesday 3rd November

Hey y'all! Today was hat wednesday and so I got to wear my new racoon tail hat bought at frontierland in Disney. I really love it, I'd been looking for a raccoon hat for forever but I couldn't find one that wasn't real fur :( but now I have so all is well.
So now that its getting so freezing I felt the need to find some amazing new jumpers from one of the best shops ever LAZY OAF! This amazing new jumper is designed for Selfridges and also comes in blue, I think I prefure the blue though. The mouth can be zipped open or closed and is suitable insane.

I really love the pattern on this jumper. Maybe it's because it looks kinda goofy and bright but I think it looks seriously kooky and cute. I know the fit is also amazing because it's exactly the same as my sailor dress. 

I think this is my favourite of the lot. I'm a bit of a sucker for things with eyes :D plus I really love the colour. This may be appearing on my christmas list!
Thi is one of the beautiful jumpers currently in the Lazy Oaf sale, a snap at only £20! The top kitten looks a little odd though.. kinda like an owl but I still love him.
 Wrap up warm all you Brits!
