When I'm not in the library I spend a lot of time working from my desk in my flat. I'm much more productive in the library but after dinner I like to blog or do my reading from the comfort of my living room. When WeWork got in touch about their "Show us your dream space" project I thought this would be a great opportunity to show you this little corner of my flat, even though it's not finished! Wework

There’s something about Autumn that makes me want to wear dark lipstick and long coats that billow behind me like a really awesome cloak.

I didn’t use a pattern for the top or the skirt, but I did use The Pineneedle Collective's crop top tutorial and her circle skirt tutorial for most of the steps.

I got my halloween costume sorted this weekend, and I'm going as an alien! What do you think? I made the top and skirt from a self-drafted pattern and I also made the eyeball headband. For my makeup, I'm wearing green eyeshadow on the top of my eyes and the Lush cream eyeshadow in Focus underneath my eyes and on my lips. I also stuck some googly eyes on my forehead. I was considering covering my two
