Autumn Baking ♡

Summer's feeling like it's completely flown by! Already in October, and making exciting progress as far as mine & Craig's big move is going! Recently I've got really into watching the bake off so decided to have a go at doing some of my own wintery receipes, here's a few of the results! - I'm still experimenting each week but was thinking of perhaps posting some with a few receipes up, what do you lovelies think?

Here's my vegan dark chocolate hazelnut cupcakes with pink sugar icing:

Homemade jammy dodgers:

Vegan apple and blackberry cake with fruits from the garden:

& finally some pretty roses my mum's been growing :)

 Hope you like! Have lovely weeks! Lots of love x x x

Sunshine & Curious Hendricks Times ♡

So I was looking through my (few) photos of the weekend and thought I'd do a mini post on my love for Brighton & the absolutely wonderful Hendricks gin tent that me & Craig went to as part of the Brighton Fringe. 

Cocktails made with rose & lychee were my favourite (three of my all time favourites in one glass...and it was pink?! heaven!)

There were so many wonderful interesting people to talk to and the sun was shining super bright! So good!

Heres me & my chap Craig enjoying our gin...

Above (some instagram photos): the bell jars of divinely delicious cocktails at the Hendricks tent mmmm!, some lychee juice I bought from the Oriental supermarket in Brighton, the pier at sunset on Saturday night, and raspberry's I had as part of a picnic.

Hope you've all had lots of lovely fun times, heres an utterly delightful little Hendricks Illustration I found of some interesting types in a boat, big love for Hendricks! 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 

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

Welcome to my wonderland

The past few days I've been hibernating, getting inspired, using lots of glitter and hunting through lots of blogs!


 Saw my wonderful friend Byng for the first time in ages the other night and we had a crafty sesh attempting to make antlers & pom pom's (neither are finished of yet!..the pom pom's ended up slightly disastrous and resembling small snails aha!) but it was heaps of fun & made me definitely want lots more crafting times!


 I thought I'd do a little post a picture of what my little world looks like..(and all the drawings are magic'd!) !.. Here's my bed (sitting on which I do most of my general crafting/drawing activities!), I always have lots of boards scattered around like the one next to my bed full of photos/inspiring things I love....

I also have a continual inspiring wall section on my wardrobe full of all sorts of pretty treats (:

And my bookcase where I store all my Jewellry/assortments of beads/sparkles etc..always gets incredibly busy!

I've been working on a few little bits. I decided I want to use more flowers within my work, so began by attempting a magical rose (inspired by beauty & the beast...of course!). I'm still getting used to crayon..so drastically different from the trusty rotring pen! But I quite like the initial result..what do you think?

I'm also part through a little Sleeping Beauty project of  drawings that I'll post about soon, but for now here's a little fairy type I did for two special little ladies Iola & Ursula (:

In my determination to not let the drab month of January affect me I've been keeping up my new years resolutions of small creative projects every day! (: 


The past few days I've been slightly battling with the process of making a peter pan collared shirt, so far not much has happened  except the cutting process but I'll keep you updated! Hope you all have wonderful weeks! Lots of Love
