I wish I was classy enough to have fresh flowers in my apartment all the time but they're expensive and it seems kind of wasteful, so I display dead ones instead. Dead like my soul. Joking! I mean, I do think dried flowers look pretty cute and so I've arranged bunches with some sparkly feathers to create this pretty way to spruce up your living room.

Apologies for my small blogging break this week. There's no big reason for it, it just seems to be taking me longer to do everything than I anticipated lately! I thought it would be fun to share a garden update with you. In April I bought some strawberry, tomato and hot pepper plant and I've been growing them in grow bags ever since! The strawberries are doing really well at the moment. Because they

I really love crazy glasses. The bigger, and the more extravagant, the better! Nothing reminds me more of summer than a huge pair of colourful sunglasses. Most of the time, I wear big round glasses that make me look like a man from the 70's, but I also love cat eyes. I found these beauties looking bare and flowerless in H&M for just a pound, and they were dying for some embellishment. It's super
