wednesday wishes 10


Bit of a mish mash this week as I'm insanely sleepy at the moment. I've been wrapping presents for a stupidly long amount of time. Is it just me, or does wrapping your presents seem like a fun idea until you've been wrapping for two hours, still have  a bag left, and have suddenly lost the will to live? Buying presents and wrapping them is definitely my most hated part of Christmas. Moving onto the post, any of these rings would be welcome in my stocking and they're all from Topshop. I recently bought this one (it looks a lot nicer in real life) and I'm steadily developing my collection of rings. Topshop has got some great jewellery out at the moment, and as one of my New Year's resolutions is to buy more jewellery (what an indulgent resolution, I know), I might just start from there.

Up next, I wanted to draw your attention to a friend of mine who sells various things she makes by hand at Folksy. I'm not really very good with these kind of websites (Etsy, even eBay) but I love the pieces she's created. As I said, they're all handmade and they really remind me of Cath Kidston style homeware, which I love. The cushions are my absolute favourites at the moment, made from vintage lace and fabric the Union Jacks are gorgeous and look great in a modern home, yet fit in perfectly with the kind of traditional English, tea room style that reminds me so much of Kidston. You can buy them here and Ellie also sells bags, soap, tea cosys....a variety of great gifts. I realise it's now too late to make any orders for Christmas, but if you like them be sure to bookmark the page for presents in the New Year.





How's your Wednesday going? Today my boyfriend and I have had our 'pre' Christmas as we're not spending Christmas day together. After the manic last minute wrapping, I've had Christmas dinner, Christmas pudding, opened presents, and thought about making a snowman, but it's just too cold. I've actually taken a photo for an outfit post, boring as my outfit is today...watch this space, I might just put it up.

Happy Wednesday!
