I have really been slacking with my outfit posts recently, mainly because I have looked like a total tramp since last Friday, ha. I shall definately do a outfit post on Saturday, along with my first giveaway! I am vair excited. I went to Cath Kidston after college today to buy my mum a belated birthday present, as I just got my hands on some money (thank-you EMA!). Cath Kidston is one of my favourite shops, it's just so cute and vintage inspired, and the floral prints are lovely. Okay, so some things are rather overpriced, but it's good to treat yourself (or someone else) once in a while! I said in a previous post that my mum and I are kitting out our kitchen with Spray Flowers china, so I bought my mum a sugar bowl, some pretty tea towels and a blue enamel hook to hang them on. She'll be home soon, I hope she likes them!
My mum and I picked up this lovely vintage inspired Typhoon clock recently at our local charity shop for £4.99, which was quite a bargain as these clocks are usually priced around £20. The gorgeous colours of clotted cream and blue go perfectly with our kitchen, which we are slowly filling up with Spray Flowers china from Cath Kidston and other floral, candy coloured bits and bobs. I instantly think of Cornwall when I look at this clock, I want to go to St Ives so badly, it seems like a wonderful place. Have any of you been before?
i adore making collages, but i have been slacking recently, so i'm determined to fill up this a5 sketchbook by my eighteenth birthday, which is on the fifteenth of july. i hope everyone is having a lovely sunday, my mum and i were originally going to sell some bits and bobs at our local car boot sale, but it was raining when we woke up, so we have decided to stay at home in out pajamas instead! did anyone get any good bargains today? love, jazzabelle.

I picked up this lovely jewellery box at my local charity shop yesterday, it was only £2.50! Which was quite a bargain, really, as this particular charity shop is usually rather expensive. I mean, they sell old primark clothes for more then they are to buy brand new, which is rather ridiculous. I assume the reason why they sold it so cheap was due to all of the damage, but that is the reason why i adore this box, which i have already filled up with my brooches, buttons, and a lovely pair of lace gloves my grandma gave me. 
I bought these two books at the charity shop for £1.50, along with a Marc Jacobs S/S 2008 lookbook for a £1. The Cooking Clips book is just too cute, it looks very vintage and contains little pouches for me to put recipes i tear out of magazines, plus some notepaper at the back to write my own favourite recipes. What is your favourite/signature recipe? Mine is salmon, roast potatoes, honey roasted parsnips, caramelized onions and creamy leeks :)

My mum and I went on our usual sunday afternoon trip to the local car boot sale, which was lovely as always. I picked up two doilies for 50p (I'm starting to build up quite a collection!), a cute brooch for 50p, plus an old biscuit tin, a floral H&M waistcoat and an old frame all for £1 each. I'm back to college tomorrow, so I may not be able to post as regularly as I have been doing, though I will try my best! Hopefully I can get back on track with my artwork, as over the holidays I lost the inspiration and the drive to complete my work. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day, hasn't the weather just been gorgeous?

Today my dear friend and I went to the member's preview of the new Grace Kelly exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was a beautiful exhibition, though I think it could of done with being in a larger, brighter space. Despite that, the displays were wonderful, the clothes were glamourous and I totally recommend that you have a little visit, and maybe purchase some of the gorgeous things they have on offer in the gift shop. 
We also popped in to my favourite charity shop (oh how I love the 50p rail!) and I picked up this cute pink shirt, as well as an oversized cropped floral blouse. 
Gap striped shirt, 50p. Skinny jeans, I haven't got a clue. I have had these skinny jeans for so many years that they aren't actually black anymore, they are more of a disgusting grey colour. I haven't worn these out in about two years though, i just think i look stupid in them because i am so lanky and have skinny legs, blah blah blah. The last two years have consisted of me wearing anything but jeans or trousers, I am still looking for the perfect pair. But apprently I look nice in these, so I may just have to wear them out and look a tad awkward and lanky in them. Oh, and I need a hair cut, my split ends are DISGUSTING!

Once again, the weather was lovely in London yesterday, so my mum, her friend and I decided to have a picnic in Battersea Park. It was quite a perfect day, to be honest.
