Park Hyatt, Tokyo ♡

On Sunday evening after work for my birthday present Craig took me to one of our favourite places - The Park Hyatt New York Grill Bar on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Shinjuku (The bar in Lost in Translation) and we had a table for the night watching the jazz band with delicious food and drinks! It really is one of the most perfect places, the view is insane, the entire Tokyo skyline right below you, and the bar itself is so dreamy and moody, besides just pretending we were Scarlett and Bill for the night, ah can't wait to return again one day!

                             Hendricks, Elderflower syrup and cucumber juice special cocktail, I also had a sakura, sake and cranberry pink one ahhh! ♡

Vegetarian pizza they made for us ♡

Mixed Japanese vegetables

Sofia Coppola Rose ♡

Lots of love x x x

Brighton wonderland & ghostly girls ♡

Afternoon lovelies! Hope you've all had magical weekends! The last few weeks feel like a bit of a whirlwind of getting everything sorted and settled back in Brighton as I mentioned in my previous post!

New things are starting to appear in my shop though : MY ETSY <3

My room is now feeling a lot more like home & I feel properly back into my illustrating! Thought I'd do a little post with a glimpse into my world :) & a few of my newest little drawings of ghostly forest girls I'm working on. If you follow me on instagram @rosepetaldeer you might have seen some of it already <3

I love to surround myself with everything that inspires me so my room is always a continually developing big pink collage of taped up prettiness :)

Me & Tigerlilly Rose <3 My favourite thing I brought back from Tokyo...

The puff here was from a super cute little shop in Brighton, me and my housemates have since discovered how to make them and gone puff making crazy! I'll post a bit about our little house soon so you can see :)

  Pencil ghost girls..

Hope you like! Follow me on twitter @rosepetaldeer or Instagram for more of my pink and sparkly world! I love chatting to new people! Have lovely evenings! Lots of love! x x x x

Virgin Suicides ♡

So I had the exciting chance to be part of the beautiful Haunt magazine's second issue - based on the 90's. They are an online based magazine full of so much dreamy beautiful creative work.

After a thought I decided I would take the chance to create some poster's based on my favourite films from growing up in that age, and try and make them dreamy and pastelly. My absolute favourite film is Virgin Suicides so naturally I really loved drawing the Lisbon sisters <3

To see my other posters, check out Haunt Mag Issue 2, online now, thinking of making them all into mini posters available to buy once I re open my Etsy, What do you lovelies think?

To see Haunt Issue 2 Click Here...<33

Hope everyones having a wonderful weekend! Going to try and start blogging more regularly again now the holidays are nearly over :) So much to write about!

Lots of love x x x

Tokyo : Part One ♡

So I'm finally back from the what was like my ultimate dreamworld !!! (sorry for lack of blogging recently) Tokyo was ahhhh-mazing, everything I ever imagined it to be and more and me & Craig were both pretty sad to be leaving! (already thinking about our next trip!)

There was so much creative inspiration and beautiful places and things, and such a magical happy feeling everywhere, everyone we met was so super friendly and helpful, and the places we discovered were continually breathtaking, Tokyo I loooove you! Here's some of my favourite bits :)

Flying through the sunset on the plane ride out...a complete sea of pastel pink and mint green <3

In the first few days we explored the area we were staying - near Tokyo station, and discovered character street, an incredible street with a shop for every cute character in Japan (AMAZING), there was a Rilakkuma, Hello Kitty, Studio Ghibli.....if you get excited by such cute things like I do it was a major overdose <3, then our first proper exploring place..Harajuku, 

A maze of cute little streets, shops, very cute things and a sea of pink *wahh* <3

Here's a super cute little gallery we found which had lychee drinks and pastel pink graffiti.. 

One of my absolute favourite shops, which if your going to Tokyo you absolutely HAVE to visit was Kiddyland, floor upon floor of amazing adorable toys and treats....Blythe, disney, pastels, cuteness...all in one building....<3 A wall of Blythe I was faced with....(not sure how I coped)...more Blythe related posting will be following!...

One of my favourite things about Harajuku was just the wondering not sure what gems we'd find, there were shops that were something straight from the set of Virgin Suicides and just pink and pastel prettyness everywhere <3 Here's some cute snippets...

Not far down the road in Ometosando was an exhibition by one of my absolute favourites, Pip & Pop, you can't get more dreamy fairytaleland pastel than this <3 *wahhhh*...

Another incredible toy shop...so packed you could hardly move and about 7 floors high, just a mass of rainbow and sparkles <3...

A cat cafe in Shinjuku, something I'd always wanted to try, there were around 50 breeds of pedigree kitties who come and hang with you while you drink your soya latte <3, some of them were so super cuddly and being the huge cat fanatic I am it was amazing to see so many! The cute little Birman (left) was my fav, he was just so content and cute lolling about :)

Sofia Coppola is probably my main creative inspiration so visiting the New York Bar in Park Hyatt was probably one of the most exciting things we did, pretending we were in Lost in Translation looking at a super beautiful Tokyo skyline and drinking lavender gin...and then...Sofia Coppola Rose! Definitely worth a visit! If you go before sunset (around late afternoon) you don't pay to reserve a table although the drinks are pricey, the magical feeling and the enchanting view of Tokyo skyline is like nothing I've ever seen!..this was my lavender syrup gin....

Part of the view...

Part two will be coming soon! Thinking of starting another little blog with my ideas on a Tokyo guide, what do you lovelies think? Hope everyones having a wonderful week! 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 

Sunsets & sparkly collar's, Sofia & Marni ♡

So I mean't to blog about this ages ago, but as it was launched today thought I'd share my love for it!


Marni's H & M range is better than I ever imagined it would be, I was expecting something special, but all those polka dots, pretty sunset beach colours and then...the collars!..AMAZING!  I tried desperately to get one online this morning but they sold out by the time I got the page to finally load upsettingly!


So I had to be content with drawing one (:

I still can't stop watching the advert by the wonderful Sofia, everything she does it just a little slice of flawless dreamy beauty, and this is no exception. It just makes me want to be there and in that beautiful world <3 

Here's Sofia in one of my favourite pieces from the collection, super shimmery top and trousers <3

& the beautiful commerical...

A fantastic collaboration from all parts! Just a shame it wasn't easier to get hold of one of the lovely pieces! Did any of you manage? 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!
