Estonian designer Pavel Sidorenko has taken old records and made them into of art, from landscapes to chimpanzees and teapots! All for $30 each which can be posted to anywhere in Europe. See them for yourself here!

Learn something new everyday!


Did you know….

that Charles Dickens invented the word “boredom?”

or rockstars are twice as likely to die prematurely than us normal people?

or that scientists have already found alcohol in space?

I didn’t. At least, not until I discovered this amazing site, “Learn Something Every Day.”

Bunting Bonanza









Maybe it's the summer months, the festival season, or just that I'm becoming even girlier but I have suddenly developed an irrational obsession with bunting!! Decorating your garden to your office, put love heart bunting at the bottom of your bed stand, and create a bunting gift matchbox! Try using different materials, newspaper, paper and maps! I just can't get enough of it and will be dragging out the sewing machine and the pinking shears pronto!

Skull and Crossbones Mania!



Knowing what a sucker I am for all things skull and crossbones, my boyfriend bought me this funky air freshener! Everybody has commented on it, and it certainly looks more stylish hanging from your mirror than the usual christmas tree or pair of smelly feet!

Memoirs of a Geisha



I can't stop thinking about this book! I was totally absorbed in it, transported to the streets of Gion during a period when Geisha were at the height of their success. So beautifully written, I just want to read it again and again! Arthur Golden, I salute you!

Danbury VW camper-vans!







It is my ambition to go round the world in a VW camper-van, and, since the likelihood of me ever being able to get on the property ladder are slim to none I think I may just invest in one of these instead! Danbury build old school VW camper-vans with new engines! I know from personal experience how vital this is, as my last experience of a VW camper-van was it being brought back on the back of an AA van when it broke down 9 hours away from home! When I do EVENTUALLY buy one I'm defiantly going to Cath Kidson it up like this person has! Aren't they just gorgeous, although I'd personally prefer a split screen one!

Retro rude girl!



Perhaps this look would not go with my "Oh so Chic" bike, however I thought that these gloves were tongue in cheek fabulous and I may just have to buy them for driving in!!!

Velorbis Bikes





Oh how I have fallen in love!! I am going to start saving for the Victoria Classic Velorbis Bike. If I cut out my daily Starbucks Soy Latte coffee then in 209 sleeps (7th February 2011!), I'll be able to buy one! At £575 they aren't cheap, but oh so Chic!!

Rosie's Deli


Rosie's Deli
Originally uploaded by Lieutenant Tibs
Although TINY (there’s about 5 tables inside and about 4 outside) Rosie's deli in Brixton is perfectly formed, with a whole host of hidden gems scattered around.

You can buy organic olives, cheese and meat, as well as olive oils, sauces, jams, organic fruit juice, etc. It all looks lovely and quaint and tasty but at £3 for a bottle of apple juice, it ain’t cheap. The coffee is served in china cups with saucers. It also sells soups, quiches, meats and ciabattas.
