ello monki!

I just sat down to have a little whinge about the fact that it is time to put away my trusty espadrilles until next year. I have been battling on ignoring the soggy toes but I think today's torrential downpour finally has me beaten. That and the fact that the funny espadrille in decay smell is beginning to get a little embarrassing...Hmmm, maybe they should just go in the bin.

So I was going to check out my new shoe purchase options on the trusty old interweb, when I decided to check out Monki quickly before I did. And now I am just massively annoyed that there are no Monki stores outside of London (they opened a concession in Selfridges last week) and you can't buy online!

Monki is proper Scandi-cool. I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm definitely sure that cool Scandinavians would most likely be annoyed by that comment. Anyway, if you are going past Selfridges and want to get me a present here are a few suggestions. DO IT!

They have put together sets to help you part with all your hard earned cash. How kind.
You can sign up, become a friend and get a magazine. It's aimed at teenagers but who cares!
These little fellas are all over Monki. Ooooh.

Mmmmmmmmm

I am a lucky girl. I have just had my first taste of Creighton's Chocolate. I think this might be the start of a long and happy relationship!

Creighton's Chocolaterie make the best chocolate. They have all kinds of different things-  lollipops, edible gifts and fancy boxed chocolates. They are hand-made in house using traditional methods but use quirky designs and flavors.  It looks and tastes amazing! 

They do stuff for parties and events. The packaging is really cute so it makes a really good last minute present too (for girls and boys, check out the lollipop moustache!).

HEART SHAPED BOX £3.50

SILVER SPOON STIRRER £3.75

MR MOUSTACHE £2

CHOCOGRAPHY £2.50

little mistress

The last couple of weeks have been very unproductive. Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've been disctracted by one of the following:

  1. The sudden urgent need to make a cup of tea and eat jaffas.
  2. Doris (the cat) head butting my hand and walking on the keyboard until I give up.
  3. The realisation that my hair is past the dry shampoo stage and it really does need a proper wash. Now.
  4. A growing obsession with 'The Killing' (danish detective series) that seems to have seeped in to the dark recesses of my brain and makes me keep saying "Theis, Theis!"
The only thing I've managed to get done is to start looking for some new brands to get me in the mood to spend some money on some nice autumn clothes. Top of my list is a dress from Little Mistress. They are a London brand who are going from strength to strength with each new collection. They are very reasonably priced with dresses from £30. They have just launched a new jewellery collection too, which isn't online yet but I'll let you know when it is.
