Worn | The Lady Tie

IMG_4969



Christine from Flapper Girl was so kind to send me one of her lovely lady ties. I am going opshopping this afternoon in pursuit of more collared shirts and dresses to wear this tie with - I want to wear it every day! I have a habit of teaming colours together that shouldn't really work. In theory aqua and red sounds like a hideous combination, but I think I'm okay with it. Also, stockings and sandals - is that totally uncool? Oh well.

Just A Minute
...in April.


+ I did some doodling (uniball eye micros are my all time favourite pens).



+ We made quite a few visits to Milkbar.


+ Our friend Chris came to stay for a few days (that's his silhouette).


+ I sent some mail.




+ I reorganised my office space a little.


+ I got through a few more 100 ideas.



+ I found this lovely skirt and painted my nails probably a dozen times.


+ My coffee table got a new tablecloth.


+ I unearthed all of my badges and brooches and pins.


+ I went opshopping and came home with these guys.




+ I got bored at uni and took photos of my books and feet and paint pallet.


+ One of my neighbours houses got re-painted with this lovely red door.




+ Dexter was very photogenic. We also discovered that our little boy cat... is actually a girl. Dexter is a lady. Ps. Yes, her collar is too big - I've got to find her a new one until she fits this one.



+ C and I treated ourselves to a couple of cafe outings.

Watching: Game of Thrones, Angel, New Girl.
Reading: The Hunger Games.
Listening: Daughter, Miike Snow & Foster The People.
Consuming: A lot of tea, red velvet cupcakes, soups and cider (I actually found a type of alcohol that I don't hate! It's the only cider I've ever tried that I've liked - it's called Herrljunga, delicious sweet pear)
Loving: Having visitors, day trips, craft supplies, my lovely boyfriend and our little cat family.
Wearing: Bed socks, a lot of yellow, tights, stripes, jackets.
Spending money on: the official part of getting married (not too far away).
