Cath Kidston.

I went into Waterstones a few weeks ago for a new book and I'd noticed that they had a new section of stationary from different brands and designers...  Sanrio, Cath Kidston, Pip Studio and I almost died.

I'm a HUGE stationary junky. I label everything and I also scrapbook.

This book was full of labels and stickers all in the typical Cath Kidston design. My house will be filled with her stuff eventually. It'll be a cute Beatrix Potter and Cath Kidston medley! Lush!

Not only were the labels so adorable... some of them also came off like this^. It was such an amazing, little touch! They look great on things, especially boxes and glass jars.

If you're like me and desperately need to become normal but don't want to because lists and labels thrill you... go to your nearest Waterstones or log on @

Happy shopping!

Luella's Guide to English Style.

I obviously didn't need to buy this book because I did grow up and still live in England.

I know how diverse our fashion is and I know how quirky we can be.

I'm proud of this... I love how eclectic our style is.

When I see Helena Bonham Carter or Kate Middleton... I feel at home.

Nothing shocks me in British fashion.

I bought this Guide to celebrate that.

Alexa Chung is quoted on the cover... you just know that gives it 100 awesome points right there!

The queen of British eccentricity!

I've always been faccinated by Vivienne Westwood. Her designs, her scents, her advertising campaigns.

LOVE.

I love Helena so much! She just doesn't care what anyone thinks.

The best is when she dresses in Vivienne Westwood. Match made is heaven!

I love the drawing in this book and the detailed descriptions of the various categories of style.

There are A LOT of celebrities and fashionistas that you probably wouldn't recognise if you weren't British but it's all about the fun of educating yourself on our style!

Have fun!

Do you know what else I love on a side note... Tim Burton + Helena Bonham Carter + Vivienne Westwood = sexual beyond belief.

The Cupcake!

I often wander into TKMaxx to have a look at their books because I seem to always find something I really want!

This time I went in looking for a new lamp and I got distracted by the little book section.

How adorable is the cover and shape of the book?! So sweet.

I love the layout of the recipe page and this images look so amazing! I can guarantee mine wouldn't look like this!

I cannot get over the pictures! They look delicious!

This one above is called the Neapolitan cupcake! Doesn't it just look like an ice cream?!

I really love when cupcakes have a little decoration on like a flag or a little ring!

I also loveeee fondant shapes! 

I was so happy with these little guides because I'll be using them a lot!

 The book is about A4 size and I paid £3.99 for it!

Bargain!

I'm not sure what it was originally but I'd say about £14.99!

It's totally in love Tuesdayyy!

1. Jenna Marbles.

What can I even say? I agree with EVERYTHING she says. She is a God(dess) to me!

I even (not lying to you right now) showed my boyfriend the above video to help him with a few things like laying on my damn hair. Ouch.

She's my current hero!

I'm also in love with this video! 

2. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

This book is truly amazing. It's happy, sad, enchanting. So lovely.

It's definitely not a trashy book and one that you can read when you're only half in the mood.

It really touched my heart!

How lovely is the cover too? It did draw me in at Waterstones.

It cost me £14.99 which is very pricey but the book itself is perfect to display in your house.

Love it!

3. My new bracelet!

My boyfriend took me to a beautiful little village near when we live and it's full of cute little shops! I loveee places like that... which he knows! He bought me this bracelet in one of those cute shops and I cannot take it off!

4. Relaxing with a magazine and junk food on my day off!

I love, love, love Skittles and I'm always filing or doing my nails on my day off.

I always do my nails once a week unless I'm super bored. These are my nails at the moment but I'm getting bored of them at the moment so they'll be changed on Thursday and I'll be doing some nail tutorials!

 And Glamour was £1 this month?! Yes, please!

Actually, everything in this picture was £1... I got 6 nail files for £1 and the Skittles were £1 too.

Bargain-hunting success!

Not a long one this week but I've been busy today so it took me a while to finish it, lol.

Recent buys that I love!

I did buy this stuff in Edinburgh! I guess it's a continuation from the other blog post.

There is more... this is not the last from the Edinburgh spends!

So I went into Zara (as usual) for the black bag with the rose gold latch! 

See it here!
I also went into the store for some black ballerina flats with little skulls on. So cute.
We searched for about 15 minutes but nope, all gone! I did ask the person wandering around doing nothing but she said they don't sell the bag anymore and that the shoes are only available on the website. Bah.
As we walked upstairs to look at clothes for my boyfriend... I remembered that I bookmarked a gorgeous bag on the website that also had a rose gold latch...
They had it! Yey!
It was £19.99 which is amazing for Zara. It isn't leather but I don't use or buy leather so I was so happy.
It's so spacious inside!

I also bought Cleopatra with Liz Taylor. It's one of my favourite movies! Amazing.
It cost me £5.00 from HMV.
Bargain!

Then we went to the Museum of Childhood and it was so cool! Lots of old games and dolls!
But the best part was the gift shop, of course!

This book is amazing! I love baking and I adore crafts and it's jam-packed full of all things to do with Alice in Wonderland.
I'll be using a lot of things in this book for my wedding when it eventually happens!

Hope you liked what I bought!
