Spring vibes ♡

Hello beautiful people! Sorry for again the absence, so much life change & things to think about at the moment, Spring in Tokyo is just starting to get lovely though, and heating up nicely, the sakura will be blooming next week & the cold days are drawing to a close - make way for the crazy heat to ensue! I`ve spent my free time over the last few months taking up lots of new crafting activities, and trying to stay creative in new ways. I found the absolute craft shop of my dreams so am continually creating new hair clips, pom poms and other random bits and bobs. My first challenge was learning Japanese finger knitting with this gorgeous pink chunky yarn, heres some of my recent crafting anyway...& some yummy veggies I`ve been learning to cook♡

One of my favourite vegan cute places ♡

& super cute decor...

Vintage blythe heaven I discovered recently too (so many shops full of second hand blythes - I died) haha

& lastly some spring flowers from a recent appearance in a friends music video ♡

Hope everyones having wonderful weeks ♡ Lots of love x x x x

Asakusa / 浅草 ♡

So last week I visited Asakusa 浅草 for the first time with my friend Nat who was visiting from England. It's like a world apart from the main areas of Tokyo, and a step back into beautiful Japanese history. The area was absolutely bustling full of tourists and quite difficult to move (usually the kind of place I would avoid!), but the shrines were so so beautiful, and there was still some blossom blooming - a different kind to the main season - a much deeper pink, and contrasting against the red shrines glimmering in the sunlight, it all looked very pretty! I tried traditional Japanese dango (rice cakes coated in sticky soy sauce) and enjoyed exploring lots ♡

Hope your all having happy weeks! Lots of love xxxxx

お花見 Cherry Blossom in Yoyogi Koen / 代々木公園の桜 ♡

Spring really is such an incredible season here in Tokyo, spring has well and truly sprung and there are sooooo many flowers and blossoms blooming everywhere! - it's like a sea of white and pink (you can imagine my excitement!!).

On Monday we ventured to Yoyogi Park on our day off together for Hanami (お花見) (cherry blossom viewing and drinking) in the sunshine! It was such a beautiful day and the sky was super blue! - The blossom's looked so beautiful in their full bloom as well, Here's a few photos ♡

Lots of Love! x x x x

Miss Cherie, Blossom & Daydreams♡

This time of year is my absolute FAVOURITE (: (especially when we're blessed which such gorgeous sunshine!) The blossom trees are out in all their bloom and all I want to do is spend my days picnic-ing and drinking elderflower wine and fizzy pink lemonade in the garden and park <3.  Me and Craig had an epic picnic the other day complete with disney princess squash, and it was so hot I started to get sun stroke! (I have super pale skin!)


Every year at this time when all the flowers start to come out, and an array of blossom fills the lane by where I live I start feeling super happy that depressing winter is drawing to a close! My favourite perfume always comes out around this time too, as summer dresses are starting to get worn. Miss Dior Cherie is the ultimate girl's dream fragrance <3
I loved it when the first advert came of (Sofia fiend that I am!), but also fell completely in love with the Natalie Portman one last year - which the gorgeous images from are starting to surface in Spring magazines again. 


Natalie definitely has the finesse and delicacy of a Cherie girl <3 In my spare time over the passing weeks therefore I decided she would be the basis of a new illustration (: The perfect girl for spring!

Here's the beautiful ad...

Here's the pinboard from the beautiful ad <3, ah it's all so pretty!

& Sofia on the shoot of the first advert <3

& the original dreamy advert <3

Hope your all having a magical time enjoying the sunshine! Get some macaroons, put a floaty dress on and dance around to Bridgette Bardot <3 Enjoy spring lovelies!  Lots of Love ! x x x 

Girl of my dreams♡

Morning lovely's! Hope your all having wonderful Friday's! 

I'm feeling like today is incredibly sugary and rose tinted, I'm so excited for the weekend & am full of emerged in illustrating world with a extra large cup of chai tea with almond milk & some raspberries.

 Thought I'd share what I'm currently dreaming over, here's a little collage I made of some of my favourite inspiring images straight from candy floss world.... <3

Majority of images taken from various back issues of Lula magazine, and general nice tumblr's & things (:

Also thought I'd share the first of lots of new candy girls (she will be printed and available soon!).

She's drawn on sugar pink paper, and lives in a world of princess castles & high tea's with macaroons <3

Have gorgeous weekends darlings! More posts will be winging their sparkly way shortly! & keep a watch on my shop...Rose Petal Deer Etsy for lots of new things very soon!

Lots of love! x x x

Let them eat cake, a world of girly pink goodness ♡

Hi lovelies! So I've been working on so many bits and pieces recently, really need to get round to blogging it all! 

I did a couple of commissions for the wonderful Audrey Grace Boutique, a delightful little shop in America run by the lovely Jaclyn.

 This is the first, which I absolutely loved doing, a sparkly poster based on Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette is probably my ultimate style icon, and Sofia's version of her is just too lovely, ever since I first watched the film I've dreamed about the exquisite long lacy dresses and gorgeous shoes. The cakes and colours, and candy popping brilliance just is so hard to beat! <3

Absolutely LOVE Kirsten's hair when it's all peachy with roses, one of best bits of styling I've ever come across <3

Been watching the film lots recently (bit like a bible for me (: )  It's making me excited for spring to be able to wear long lacy things again and lie in grass drinking nice summery drinks and having picnics!...

Jaclyn has done some super lovely styling akin to the dreamy vibes of spring time too, I can't stop looking at some of her styling shoots, particularly this dreamy girl and flowers, so many pretty things!...It's all here..Audrey Grace Boutique..

I'm feeling incredibly candy-fied today. I've been working on a whole series of candy girls, lots of pink paper, glitter and pastel things and pencils were involved! My bed is looking like a big sparkly mess! Here's a little sneaky peak of one of the drawing's I've been working on!...

Hope your all having lovely week's! My mum told me today that some of the trees are starting to blossom in our village so think I might venture out and try take some pretty snaps tomorrow <3 Love Springtime! 

Looking forwards to the weekend too, when Craig is coming home and we're having a Japanese style picnic with fizzy wine for my birthday celebrations (: Happy times!

OO & In other exciting news, two absolute darling lovelies have featured me on their blogs,

The wonderful Natasha of 'The Secret Tea Party' ...The Secret Tea Party Blog

& lovely Poppy of Poppy Lauren Vintage Poppy Lauren Vintage

Both are regular reads of mine and are absolutely gorgeous! & they are both such nice ladies too!

Have a look (:

 Lots of love! x x x

lilac lovely & floral dreams♡

Hello lovely ones! Hope your all having a wonderful February, I keep meaning to post more (lots planned) but never seem to have a moment spare at the moment!

 Been a super busy week interning with the wonderful 'Sukie' & visiting some favourite lovelies in London at the weekend! My saturday & sunday involved lots of dancing to 90's tunes and visiting pretty antique shops (: 

I was loving the little bit of sunshine that was starting to make an appearance...too excited for spring!!

Been back in Brighton these past two weeks which has jut felt magical, so nice to go to all my favourite spots once more, and see the sea! So excited to move back properly in Summer, yay!

Thought I'd post a little lilac garden girl from my flower girls project last year (I will write about the whole project soon (: ), but the more flowers I see the more I miss having vases everywhere full of delightful petals and fairy like scents and colours, definitely need to draw some more flowers again soon! I loved working on that so much! & I loved sitting in parks embracing spring in various gardens, there are some really truly beautiful hidden gems around Brighton which are simply perfect in Spring time (: 

  Looking forwards to some more trips to charity shops and countryside exploring later in the week when I'm not working! I also went to Lewes today for only the second time today to help hunt for some maps for the beautiful handmade Sukie books.

That place is like an absolute dream, jam packed full of shops selling gorgeous old trinkets, antiques and yummy goodness. I found possibly the world's smallest cake shop, which had simply the most spellbinding cakes I've ever seen, no other word to describe them, the main one in the window was a proper detailed gingerbread house which was so dreamy! and it even had it's own nutcracker man at the door, felt like I was staring into candy dream world <3

Anyways, Hope you like her! Lots of Love x x x
