Whilst catching up on one of my favourite blogs, The Online Stylist, I was introduced to Boticca.
I have obviously been doing an awful lot of online browsing recently, just check back over my recent 'wishlist' posts to see what I mean. So, I'm not going to post a huge long list of the things that took my fancy, I'm just going to show you my absolute favourite and then urge you to visit the site and take a look for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
Toosis three stones ring with pink quartz and purple amethyst.
Pretty yes?
I'd love to know what your favourite piece is!

Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my....
Thanks to a tweet from Katie (thank you Katie!) I was alerted to the fact that Louboutins are now available to buy online.
What followed was several hours of browsing and day dreaming, just enough time to select my three favourites.

Hoping and wishing...
That this Seville Chair from BHS will be back in stock soon and not sold out for good. It will look superb with my dressing table which belonged to OH's Great Grandmother.
Stamping...
When I saw this address stamp on Not On The High Street I knew I'd have to get one for our new home. We plan to be here for many years and now it's set in rubber (it doesn't have the same ring to it as stone, does it?).
Pinning...
I knew it was inevitable. I've been pinched. I can (and often do) spend hours looking at beautiful imagery and now I can to collect all my favourite images in one place - pinterest. It's a genius idea. I ❤ it.
Thrifting...
I am always admire the great items other people find. I don't seem to have much luck, never-the-less I spent a couple of hours thrifting on Monday. I found a lovely dress for £4.00. Sadly, it doesn't fit (see my luck?) I am considering getting it altered, it really is lovely.
Lusting after...
Tote bag, Sophie Gray at BHS and metal and glass necklace from Wallis (via a mention in Easy Living and Red magazine respectively) both a joy to behold.
Sadly, I can't find either online or instore. Yet.
Arranging flowers...
From my garden, I felt so twee but I was reminded, rather painfully, that real roses have thorns!
Saddened...
By the recent rioting. It's so mindless, so utterly without reason that I struggle to comprehend it. I hope that just a few of those involved go home and wonder what the hell happened and I hope there are those that feel deeply, deeply ashamed.
The rallying around, the support and kindness shown to others by strangers in the aftermath is a comfort. For every looter there are people willing to extend a hand of friendship and to help repair the damage. That is the real Britain and it makes me proud.

doing the Math...
Bunnipunch pointed me the direction of MATH, I've done the numbers and I love it. My fav pieces? This jacket and these draped shorts. A joy to behold.
Spending far to much time perusing the new Next Directory...
I should be painting, unpacking boxes and plumbing in my washing machine, but...
Bidding on eBay...
I placed my bid with 40 seconds to go. I had butterflies. I won.
Chuckling at this... on A Cup of Jo.
Which reminded me of this...
I have no idea where it came from originally, a colleague emailed it to me and it produced such a hearty belly laugh that I had to share.
How has your week been?

I had some fab comments on my shoes worn for Inspiration Monday last week. Those beauties were from New Look and sadly no longer in stock but these beauties from Dorothy Perkins are AND they are in the sale £25.00. So be quick!

Would you please open a store near to my home town, where I will happily and frequently empty my bank account into your tills.
With a love of the cute and the kitsch I have been noticing a number of these fruit themed pendants popping up here and there. Very summery and there is something to suit every purse too.
These final two really are a joy to behold... they just couldn't be any more perfectly formed. They also stock cherries, strawberries and pineapples... a fruit salad in jewellery form - delicious!
Which is your favourite? I love them all!
Just one word of warning though... don't type 'pear necklace' into Google. It's assumes that it is a typo.
which is also available in gold...
I love these enamel pendants, they look like sweeties!
