This weekend I got down and dirty with a little diy project inspired by Design Love Fest. I picked up these cheap shelves from Ikea for about £8, painted the wood white and sprayed the brackets with copper. I love the way they look, but sadly they’re now filled with the boyfriends Playstation games. Not quite the chic display I had in mind.
This intricate vase by Korean artist Meekyoung Shin might look like your standard Oriental masterpiece, but visit her work at the Saatchi Gallery and you’ll be able to smell the difference. Meekyoung carves her pieces from soap. Yes, SOAP! My mum is a big advocate of posh smellies and my parents’ house is stocked full of them, so I’ll be taking her to see the exhibit asap. Guarantee it will smell better than this.
A couple of weeks ago I went to Seven in Brixton Market, a cool little tapas bar with a bustling, candlelit vibe and a graffitied upstairs with a maze-like set up. Cosy, indeed. And the best part? The cocktails are an even £5 (and the strongest I’ve had in a while) which makes it super easy to split the bill at the end of the night!
When I want a fresh beauty look with a hint of colour, the new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are lovely. They deliver moisture and a little bit of shine in lots of lovely hues - I already have 4! They’re £5.99 in Superdrug and Boots at the minute too.
This weekend I’m giving the flat a good old spring (end of summer) clean. I picked up some cheap flowers from Tesco and the place is looking cheerier already!
I dare you to watch this music video for the song Bom Bom by Sam and the Womp and not feel ridiculously happy. Even if you think it’s totally annoying, I bet you want to dance along, don’t you? I keep checking to see if they’re going to play a gig soon - I really want to go do some silly dancing to this song! In the meantime, I’m satisfying myself with watching their Live Lounge appearance.
