VW Dinning

Loving my Lupo and finding the vintage beetle beautiful, this car inspired restaurant in Austria seems like a different and darling place to dine. 

Strawberries and cream - Christmas time dream

Cookery isn't my forte- at all .. but even I can complete this cute Christmas craft. 

Santa when its seasonal or cream creatures otherwise - a fun food fancy fantastic for parties!

I am sure I wasn't the only one to have glow in the dark stars covering my bedroom as a child. 

I still find the night sky brilliant, big and beautiful. 

This hotel room as posted on Lifestyle and Fashion has a starry ceiling view, creating a perfect atmosphere for a spectacular stay.

Sunset, Santa and Stars

Beautiful image taken and sent by my Dad yesterday evening of our front garden with all its Christmas trimmings. With the added bonus of the sunset I truly love this picture. Magical. 

Festive fashion for the whole family

This is not a prezzy secret give away… but wish I'd seen them all before my big shop! 

Dad: 

Loves his knits and red!

Used to call her Pat Butcher… She believes- 'If God wanted you to have holes in your ears he'd have put them there himself'.

Sometimes you get that feeling

I don't know what made me read this …I don't usually even take a second look at things like this on Facebook … But I did …and as I write this I still have the feeling of sadness in my stomach and tears in my eyes. I am a sensitive person, but as my Mother says: 'I'm also hard', maybe this is the fashion influence inside me, I don't know. But for this post that is irrelevant.

Love is a funny thing that I believe no one can explain. But this exceptional piece of writing that had me gripped from the start is the closest thing I to a definition in my eyes. This covers all types of love and its tendencies in life. I don't know if you'll find it worthwhile, but for me the 5 minuets it took me to read this has definitely had an impact on myself and my views.

SIGNED FOR YOU next-door to me

This last week has been very exciting for our flat. One very talented flat mate of ours has been shut in her room working mighty hard in order to create merchandise for the rich and famous as part of a local competition. 

As if our University work loads were not enough, with Christmas deadlines coming up the ever ambitious Hattie Taylor-Gell has yet again surprised us with the sheer determination she has to get herself and her work known.

Hattie aged 19 has admirably set up her own sign design company

 SIGNED FOR YOU,

 of which the logo is shown above.

Hattie's description of the business:

About

I am an aspiring Graphic Designer with a soft spot for branding, typography and anything hand-made.

Description

Signed For You is a little business set in North Yorkshire providing personalised gifts/decor/stationary for all occasions, creating something for everyone. Looking for a visual re-vamp of your own small business? Thinking of a new typographic tattoo? Or maybe wanting your own unique wedding invitations? Simply send a message with your requests, big or small. I will try my best to meet your requirements however quirky they may be :) H x

Above shows the ingenious creations of the artist. Her entry into a competition, which is usually only entered by established local business professionals, comprised of individually framed posters for each celebrity which addressed their key characteristics. 

Looking fabulous, there is no surprise these posters got commendations by the stars themselves, including EXAMPLE and Elisa Doolittle on the brand's newly created twitter account:
