Mmmm, eco-purchasings

Well, nearly bought (the website is playing silly bees with me):

People Tree jute cosmetic case - £4.50
My make up bags recently have varied. A while ago I was using a carrier bag from Selfridges and Co. After coming back from Berlin and with all my ‘liquids’ sitting in one of those free bags you get [...]

I sense a disturbing new addiction:

Ebay.
Just bought these for £5.50(including postage). I have been coveting khussa shoes for ages but they are nearly always made of leather as that is the traditional material. I don’t buy shoes made of leather as I’m concerned for the use of chemicals in the tanning process, and obviously the welfare of the animals involved. [...]

In out in out shake it all about

My Mum, as may have been previously discussed, is a bit on the loopy side. Last week she was consulting all her diaries since c.2004 to find out the exact day the postman delivered her Wimbledon ticket confirmations. She was even trying to calculate the impact of leap days and working days and maths is [...]

Easily Excitable.

Actually, you know how I posted about that Mivvy hoody by Howies? Well, me being the pathetic victim of card fraud and everything begged Leo to buy me it till my new debit card comes through and I am actually a little too excited for my own good. I literally cannot wait till it is [...]

Well, at least they were charitable criminals

Two crap things:
1. I’m not very well, and my head feels like its filling up with helium, and not tin the good ‘laughing gas at Leeds festival’ sorta way. The snotty way. I have nearly 10 hours at work tomorrow and refuse to call in sick. That is the stubborn capitalist in me. MONEY.
2. I [...]

Pah.

Normally I wouldn’t do a negative post, but just like Paxman is a-ranting about lack of support for his trousers addendums from M&S pants, I feel I need to address an issue. Rubbish-looking shoes.
First of all, I really don’t like these:

 Topshop
I get the simplicity of them, but they look bad. Like PE-gear from provincial middle-England [...]

Sunshine, lollipops rainbows.

Firstly, may I just say “HUZZAAAH” because I handed in my first term work today!
Secondly, some house porn: The Cheltenham Underground House
The above was featured on Grand Designs the other day and when it was completed I thought it was brilliant. You can’t really get the full view of it from the website gallery though. [...]

You look like Babe Ruth’s gay brother. Gabe Ruth.

Okay, I have to exhibit something and I’m pretty sure its nothing I could get arrested for. Its not like streaking, thank ze lord.
Hadouken, brightly coloured synth-wielding lords of the imaginary ‘nu-rave’ scene. They hooked me in with ‘That Boy That Girl’. Then they released Liquid Lives. Some people have called me ’roundabout’ in the [...]

J’ai baisé beaucoup de grenouilles (I haven’t really)

‘Smack’, by Draco
 
I love this new Threadless design, it reminds me of something out of the old Diana/Twinkle annuals from the 70′/80’s that I have somehow acquired, despite not being born till 1987!
 

 
Anything that has robins on is made 10x better, hence why I chose to post the 1972 over any of the others (the [...]

Mmm, sweet sweet pie

Okay, so that isn’t meant to be the title of this post, but I unconsciously started typing ‘Mmm’ into the title box, and that is what came up. Previously, some pie-obsessed loon (probably my adoring boyfriend Leo) must have written something with a pie-based title. Or I had a relapse. Anyway.
I think this is lovely:
