Miniature Cuteness

Let me introduce you to the cutest shop on Etsy - Cute Ability, I only discovered it last night but I've added like 10 things to my wishlist already!!

The teapots & cups collection is my favorite. Blue + white is my all time favorite colour combo so I'm hoping to make this cute teapot necklace mine very soon :)

Need something to go with your tea? How about some dessert? Cupcakes maybe?

Worried it might make you want sweets all the time? I know I am! How about some "classic" hearts?

and the best thing? They are all very affordable! Now no one buy the blue teapot please, it is mine!! - only joking... I'm sure they have more than one in stock.

Vintage Friday: Look at all these vintage shoes!

looking for vintage bargains? then the Absolute Vintage shop in London is a must-stop for you! with more than 1,000 pairs (that's right, 1,000!) of shoes and boots to choose from, plus vintage clothing and accessories, it can easily turn into a day trip! The best part? all the shoes range from £15 to £65. Whenever the style and shade you're after, if you can't find it here then it probably doesn't exist anymore! I'm putting down "a trip to Absolute Vintage" on my must do list for 2009!

A vintage Dior and Gucci? Am I pushing my luck in wishing they'll have a vintage Chanel 2.55 hidden somewhere in the corners? ;)

loving the sofas too, if they serve food and coffee I'd never leave this place!

Bone Inlay Furniture

I am in love with the Bone Inlay range at the UK based company Graham and Green. I first saw these beautiful furniture at Absolutely Beautiful Things, as Anna's gorgeous shop Black & Spiro is a little too far for those of us in the UK, I was so happy to find something similar in London!

Check out the rest of the range (cupboard, table, chair, stool etc.) at Graham & Green's online website.

For The Love of Prints

For me, the best media of showcasing my favorite design/illustration/painting/photography is prints, it might be a little odd fashioned but I prefer my walls to be plain to bring in more light (so sorry wallpapers) and I prefer the fabric on my furniture to be plain too, but at the same time I love patterns and colours. Quite a contradiction isn't it, so prints are my saviors! Plus, not all designs are available as wallpaper, bedding etc, but you can pretty much always get them as a print!

And I always get excited when I discover a new spot to buy lovely prints! These are some of my favorites from http://www.designsupremo.com/

1. Airport 2. Flamboyant Forrest 3. Falling in Love Poster 4. Public Bath

and I love this one by Present&Correct,
