Pretty Halloween

Sparkling pumpkins and delicious black macarons make my kind of Halloween :)

(From here, here, and here)

Pretty hair

Pretty hairstyles, natural, wavy, and messy.  Gorgeous.

Good things this week:

Half term: lots of extra playing!
Getting excited for Halloween
Finding a jacket for half-price
Listening to Jamie read (so sweet)

Happy weekend!

Apple pie cookies

Autumn in one perfect mouthful.

Simple kitchen

A perfect kitchen.  I could definitely use some of those storage tins :)

Bag love

A simple, gorgeous bag from Bodie and Fou.  Swoon. 

Mini p+p: Pearl Lowe's dresses

Pearl Lowe's latest collection for Peacocks includes these oh-so-cute party dresses.  Love the vintage feel.

Triangle prints

Love this triangle print, especially on the tea towels :)

Pretty stationery

Simple, pretty cards from Tokketok.

Mini pretty + pretty

Tiny little dresses like this make me all mushy.  I love the colours on this one, so sweet and perfect for this time of year.  I can imagine it being worn with some chunky tights.

p.s. Mini pretty + pretty is going to replace Monday Mamas; there are far too many gorgeous baby / child things to keep just for Mondays!

Lovely things

I love browsing around Etsy, there are so many beautiful items.  I'm loving industrial-type things at the moment; these are a few of the finds that caught my eye.

Have a romantic weekend

It's definitely the weather for snuggling up to someone, right?! Making steaming hot mugs of tea, having some warming home-made soup for lunch and wrapping up and holding hands on a long walk are three of the things this chillier weather is for.

Enjoy x

3 gold things...

Gorgeous ballet pumps, a beautiful hairband, and a luscious eyeshadow compact.

Pretty florals

Pretty floral drawer knobs, from Urban Outfitters.  They'd be perfect for prettying up an old painted cupboard, or a wardrobe in a nursery.

Red lips

Love red lips at winter time, so glamorous and fresh.  (Doesn't Miranda Kerr look beautiful?!)  Apparently, the best way to apply red lipstick is straight from the tube, onto bare lips, blot, then apply some more.  Another tip?  You should always pair red lips with little or no eye make up.

My favourites are this one, this one in Heat Wave, and this one in Impassioned.  (Great names!)

Also, the new gorgeous lipsticks from Kate Moss.

H&M Home

A few of the pretty things I found on H&M's website, including linen bedsheets, cosy knitted cushions, and a beautiful table runner.  (They also have a fab selection of boys' clothes too!)

Have a yummy weekend

I can't think of anything nicer than being snuggled up inside when it's cold and blustery outside.  This brown sugar and chocolate baked pudding look delicious (even the name sounds yummy!)

Enjoy yourselves! x

Star ring

Love.

Betty

Recently I stumbled upon a blog, the gorgeous Le blog de Betty.   I'm swooning over her outfits.  This post is from 2008 and it still looks perfect now.  She makes me want to have a fringe cut again :)

Sweet Thank you

I'm a big fan of sending thank you cards, and these sweet ones would be so nice to receive from someone.  I think that postage stamp is gorgeous too!

Stella perfume bottles

Ahh, wouldn't these look gorgeous on a dressing table?  Such beautiful colours.  They'd make such lovely presents too...
