Great Frog Love

I have been thinking about my next The Great Frog purchase to go with my skull and garnet and although they are often bringing out new pieces, nothing had really jumped out at me until this...

I actually gasped.

As blue as it gets

As much as at first I hate the dark evenings and winter nights, I do love winter nights out. Last night we went to see Larry Miller, he's an awesome blues/rock guitarist. The music was brilliant and as well as his own stuff he threw in Voodoo Chile, Rock and Roll and Whole Lotta Love which went down really well!
My videos take too long to upload so I've nicked one from Youtube. If he's ever in a town hear you I throughly recommend you go and see him - you'll have a great night. 

Went to have my roots done yesterday and decided to tone down the blonde - it was getting a bit too artificial so I went for a load of darker blonde lowlights. I feel like it's mousey now! But I think I always think changes to my hair are extreme when they're not actually much different. My hair extensions are like bleach ends now which is quite fun. Please excuse my tired eyes, I'm way too puffy at the moment!

The New House

So we're all settled in and I'm now sitting in the new little office room with some sweets and some Stones :).

Here are some pics from the new pad. We've had a lot of fun shopping for it, particularly when we got the star lamp. We couldn't find a suitable coffee table for the lounge so we tried my flight case and loved it, it also works really well with the rug we bought. So now we're on the hunt for a bigger one. We also went to a little gallery in Reading and found they had a Ronnie Wood exhibition on - I wished I had a grand to buy one but then Dad had the genius idea of just framing the print I liked in the brochure and voila!

The Ronnie Wood print in its framed glory. This is not intended to look like a shrine to Keith... it's a random shelf bit on the way down the stairs of my room - there will be many many more frames there in due course (without pictures of Keith in them!)

Amy's nicked Incubus billboard poster - greets you on your way up the stairs!

Obligatory Halloween post

We're in - to our new house that is. Feel very overwhelmed by everything but having lived out of home for three years before I know that the feeling goes away soon enough which is reassuring. Pics to follow!

On Saturday night I went to a friend's Halloween/house warming party and it was a blast. Also great because for the first time in a long time I didn't have to drive/leave early for trains etc because they're only a five minute skip down the road! Jagerbombs all round then. 

I went as Cleopatra, very impressed with the wig I ordered on eBay. It was really good for a synthetic wig and so reasonably priced - I want to buy a load of different ones and change my hair every time I go out! My boyfriend always goes to town on fancy dress and this year was no exception - he went as Louis de Pointe de Lac from Interview With The Vampire. He looked rather scary but amazing!!

It was great that everyone at the party had made a great effort to dress up! There was the Hulk, Leela and Fry, Elliot from ET, the Mad Hatter - loads!

On the move

I.am.so.tired. For some reason I never manage to go to bed before 12, and that combined with working a late night event last week has seriously caught up with me. I feel (and look!) like SHIT! Which means I have been very lazy on the packing front for moving on Friday, but I made a feeble attempt this evening by starting with the books and DVDs. I can't face tackling the clothes yet...

Had a very fun trip to Ikea on Saturday morning to get some of the necessary furniture and bedding bits but I'm also on the prowl for some quirky old antique things to decorate with. We're looking at going to a car boot on Sunday to nose around for some bits n pieces. I've been hunting online but I still haven't found an old wooden chest :(.

Often look to the Vintage Vixen for inspiration, if you haven't seen her blog already check it out, she finds the most incredible bargains at jumble sales and car boots in the UK and I LOVE her house. Read her blog HERE.

Looking forward to finally moving, catching up on sleep and having cosy nights in with the girls (and lots of raucous pre-drinking before nights out dancing!). 

Little Wing in HUF Magazine

I answered this so long ago I almost forgot about it - and it also seems a bit old now, old products, old photos! But here's the Little Wing article in HUF creative magazine's October issue.

It's quite funny in a way, as really LW is a very slow work in progress but they're referred to it as the 'new must have jewellery' - thanks for bigging us up HUF :)!

Kitchens and Kurt

First up... a sneak peek at our new kitchen! Can't wait to start moving in next week. My skull salt and pepper shakers arrived today, they can take pride of place on our round wooden dining table. A teapot with a Union Jack knitted cover will also be gracing the kitchen tops!

Secondly, very old now but J'ADORE the AW Kurt Geiger campain images with the gorgeous Anja Rubik. Particularly the dancy sleeves hanging out of the black jacket, mm mm.
