How Cute are these!
I’ve wanted my own cupcake stand for a while now but haven’t got around to getting one, but now I can make my own teeny ones for less than $1 each apparently. Find how to here.
Found first at cupcakes take the cake.

D&G S/S 2011
I posted a dress from this collection here back in November, I love the whole thing, the checks, florals, denim, oversized bags and definitely…the shoes. These I think are my favourite, blue and natural raffia wedges with a pretty flower and ankle strap, I love the bright red toes too.
Bring on the summer!

Jonathan Saunders S/S 2010
Today I want Jonathan Saunders. I love the minimal crispness of his collection, this dreamy bleached skirt with white shirt sums it up for me.
There’s such a fresh feel to it all. I imagine a breezy day in early summer, grabbing a dress like this throwing it on and going out for a picnic by the river.
He loses me with colour a little, I am not a fan of brights (I don’t like this trend at all!) so I’m grateful that there’s still a big of nude in the collection.
This last one is my favourite! Candy stripes on a high waisted very pleated skirt with a bustier and mesh top all tied up with a big sash and pretty blue and white shoes.
There’s a lovely modern vintage feel to the whole thing, like vintage tennis wear someone has taken a paint roller to.

Paloma Faith
Another fiery red head with one hell of a voice. Paloma a massive year in 2009 and I hope she comes back with more good stuff for 2011.
Born in Hackney she learned ballet and went to study a degree in contemporary dance at uni, she hated this and went on to study at the prestigious Saint Martins where she worked as a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model and a magician’s assistant.
Track 1 is Upside down, I love this song, I first heard it on the Strictly ad and it’s so happy and upbeat it always makes me smile!
Track 2 is New York, I’d say this is Paloma’s biggest track and I still love it.

Remember
I think this is super cure and I love the fonts. The music is an apt. “addicted to love” from the wonderful Florence and the Machine, I love this song at the moment.
Today is a good day!

A Slice of Fashion
I don’t know why I haven’t featured this yet on my blog, it’s everywhere so really I’m just adding to the noise but I am in love with the Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection 2011.
“Marc went back to curves, the woman”
Buttery yellows, upholstery florals, baby pink, mint green
Flared skirts daring you to twirl around, pretty ballerina flats willing you to dance, nipped in waists begging for a pretty chequered pinny to be tied into place, leather driving gloves for the girl who has a driver, floppy hats, oversized bags, eccentric sunglasses, flowers, stripes, chiffon, tweed.
Fifties channelling seventies.
Marc Jacobs has won a place in my heart forever.

Inspirational
Here are some of the pictures I have saved, some of them I found more than a year ago so I’m not sure of all the sources.
Here is some dark and moody music from the lovely Laura Marling and the marvellous Mumford & Sons.
Forgive me Hera, I cannot stay, he cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say
Our skin is white, and I’m light as the sun, so holy light shines on the things you have done
And the waves came and stole him and took him to war
Love me oh lord, he threw me away, he laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay.
Rip the earth in two with your mind
Seal the urge which ensues with brass wires
I never meant you any harm
But your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearm
And force from the world a patient smile
Shoulder to shoulder, now brother, we carry no arms
The blind man sleeps in the doorway, his home
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won
But I gave you all
I close my eyes for a while
And force from the world a patient smile
But I gave you all
And you rip it from my hands
And you swear it's all gone
And you rip out all I have
Just to say that you've won
Well now you’ve won.
