Cheers to April....

I hope you've all had a good month, how about a Mint, Cucumber and Vodka cocktail or a Cucumber Ginger Fizz to welcome in May? Cheers!

Interior Ideas - Cool Cloakrooms

I'm trying to decide whether to paint or wallpaper our downstairs loo, these are a few images I've been looking at for inspiration, I want it to be quite glamorous and am thinking greys and golds might look good, what do you think?

Thank You

My Gold filled Hoop Earrings have been featured over on Net-a-Dresser so I just wanted to say a big thank you to Helen and congratulate her on her great taste!!

Joking aside, she actually has got great taste so if you're in need of some outfit inspiration or style advice get yourself over to Net-a-Dresser and take a look.

Checks or stripes, which do you prefer? I do love a stripe but I'm going with Dries Van Noten's checks this time, elegant yet relaxed, a perfect look.

Sweets and Treats - Coconut Cakes

coconut caramel cake / chocolate coconut cupcakes / coconut almond bites / almond coconut cupcakes / coconut macaroons

I love coconut in pretty much anything, but especially in cakes. I tried to make some coconut macaroons, which you'd think would be fairly easy, but mine didn't turn out that great so I'm not going to show you any pictures, I'll have a go at a coconut cupcake next and see how I get on!

Jewellery

Just a couple of pairs of earrings I've added to the shop this week, the first pair are faceted carnelian beads on sterling silver hooks and the second pair are textured gold filled hoops on gold filled hooks. I'm really pleased with them, simple yet effective! What do you think?
