i know i've said i should have things up and running soon, but i am so sorry i'm lacking on the replies and the posts right now. Working full time is so tiring! We've just recently booked a long weekend so in the next day or two i'm going to catch up with blogging and also! i made my first necklace today and it is so beautiful. So please please keep checking back here for my new blogshop, new posts and also givaways! <3

i've just came back from holiday yesterday night, and it was so nice to come back to so many wonderful comments <3 thank you so much! i'll get back to each and every one of you, and i really appreciate you reading! :)
The holiday was amazing! It was a cruise round the Mediterranean and we got to see some amazing places, including the leaning tower of pisa, the vatican (where also joe proposed!! xD & i said yes!), the coliseum, an amazing sunset, and some beautiful beaches. The places were just so beautiful. I'm sorting out all the photos and will be posting them soon, so keep checking back! The cruise ship was actually quite old fashioned, which while some people might not like this, was quite nice, with some really nice artwork on the walls which i'll be posting too.

Walking round the markets have also gave me some inspiration to start some jewelry making, including bead and thread work and charms. We picked up some beautiful handmade bracelets which made us think of this, so if you have any ideas of what you would like on a handmade bracelet, please let me know and i can use it as more inspiration. When this starts working and being successful, I'm planning to start an Etsy shop up where these can be bought. (and a blogshop for unwanted clothes, new and old coming soon)

Thank you again! <3
I hope everyone else's holidays have been great too!

I am an annual subscriber to ELLE magazine, which makes me recieve the official subscriber covers of the magazine. (i would never have dreamed of having a subscription, although a free elizibeth arden 3 piece set and £££'s off the cover price is a good deal! xD) So i was wondering who was on this months cover;

I though, whos that? shes quite pretty, looking at more photos i then thought, whoa she is really pretty and looks great, she must be a model or something (like a previous edition of elle a few months ago). It then occured to me, she looked slightly familar. Then i couldn't believe, that the beautiful woman on these pages, are the same girl. I've yet to read the article, but she does talk about harry potter, and getting out of the role which has defined who she is for her acting career. i'm shocked how different she can look, and i had seen the pictures of the BURBERRY photoshoot she had also done, so it's not as if i was unfamilar with how different she looks out of her steretotyped role. In my opinion, she looks amazing and so so sexy. Love the eyelyner look, but seeing as i'm not a night time person, i think it might be OTT for day...

Also with this months elle is their 'runway' edit, which gives pictures and tips on the looks used at the A/W '09 catwalk shows. Here is just whats on offer for the upcoming seasons...

Last but not least, here is a picture of this lovely bracelet, which although is abit discoloured, i think it gives a bit of a vintage feel to it, and not too shiny. Its an old piece of jewellery my mum used to wear, if going green is always this good, i think everyone will be doing it!

[i will be adding this v.soon! and more photos of the runway edit and new season trends. keep checking! :)]

Credit: All photos (but one - the one of the bracelet last) are from this months ELLE magazine, which features a free paul&joe sister vest top. (Next month is a free designer cover notebook! either made by v.westwood, j,galeno, or another)
