Puuuurfect

Oh man I am so sad Summer is over, especially now that these beauties have just come out. This super collaboration between Claudie x Vivetta have brought these wonderful Cateyes into the world. Maybe it’s time to be a vampire and wear these during Winter because they’re just too good!

Salvation Mountain

OH MY!! I’m so desperate to visit Leonard Knight’s Salvation Mountain situated in the lower desert of Southern California. The colourfully cladded mountain is covered in biblical scripture, flowers, trees, waterfalls, suns, bluebirds, and heaps of other super cool objects.I think my eyes would pop with excitement if I do ever get to see and experience this place in the flesh…

  Hopefully one day I will have an exciting adventure to the Mountain (fingers and toes crossed)

Annie

One of my ultimate childhood favourite films has to be Annie. I have so many memories of me and my sister dancing and singing around the house, we even once made fake sick out of peanut butter and water at a huge attempt to both get the day off school so we could both stay home and watch Annie together, sadly I think it failed and Mum knew exactly what we were up to.

Anyhoo with the new remake of the Annie film, in my eyes nothing will even come close to the original from the singing and dancing to the casting and amazing outfits, it’s just amazing! It’s my instant pick me up film that brings a smile to my face (and leaves me singing the songs for the rest of the week) I will of course check out the remake but lets not forget the original Annie, Carol Burnett who plays Miss Hannigan sure will be hard to beat (no pressure Cameron Diaz!!)…

At the moment i'm totally loving Lucky Dip Club. A super fun idea of personalised packages filled with surprises including handmade and vintage items. On the first of each month a new box is launched each time with a different theme. Only a limited amount are available at the super price of £15 per box.

I was lucky enough to get my mitts on last months tutti frutti themed box and it sure did not dissapoint! Here is a peek into what I recieved...

I was super excited when it arrived, everything was beautifully packaged and I couldn't wait to see what was inside! In my tutti frutti package I found: An apple 'A-OK' coaster, vintage pineapple patch, frutti playing card, cherries keyring, rilakkuma post its, watermelon 'enjoy today' badge and postcard, personalised pineapple name necklace, a personalised note and a cocktail paper apple. 

It took me back to being about 10years old and having a super cool pen pal it was just great!

The July 'Pet Parade' box has launched today so If you want that feeling of getting a present on your birthday or a package filled with fun stuff then hurry and buy yours before they all sell out!!

Get your Lucky Dip Club box HERE
