My creative journey

I mentioned in my last post that I have been living in jeans and tee's recently. Whilst I have yet to find the perfect pair of ripped jeans I have done quite well with my tee's recently and thought I would share some of my favourite purchases and things from my wishlist.

Over the last 2 weeks I have been sharing my favourite Etsy Christmas picks and so far  I have posted about Christmas cards and stocking fillers  and today's post is about the pieces that have made it to my Christmas list. Blanket // Tee // Cushion // Wall hook // Jewellery set // Faux Taxidermy // Llama pin // False nails // Wall Hook // Earrings // Clutch bag // Chocolate // Bone earrings // Bracelet // Makeup bag   I have been learning to crochet for a few months but I just cannot get into the swing of it and I am desperate for a crochet blanket for this winter. Jillian Holtzmann is my new girl crush - she inspires everyone to embrace their weirdness !! I think   Capybara are very cute and these cushions would just make me smile every time I saw them on my sofa. The wall hooks and faux taxidermy are small parts of a huge wall display I want to make out of my jewellery and accessories. I also have purchased from both sellers in

So last week I shared my favourite Etsy Christmas card finds here  so this week I am sharing my favourite stocking fillers. From art prints to patches to food stuff you really can find ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on Etsy . Next week I will be sharing my Christmas list but if your interested in seeing someone else's idea of the ideal Christmas present check out the   Etsy Editors' Pick's page . I  haven't  had a stocking for  years  so  thoroughly  enjoyed creating my ideal stocking - do you have a favourite stocking filler ?                Tessa                                                       Twitter  //  Bloglovin  //  Pinterest   //  Instagram  //  Facebook * I am an Etsy affiliate but I genuinely love the site as my bank balance would attest to*

It is clear by now to anyone who knows me that I LOVE Etsy and it is always my first port of call if I need to purchase something specific or even if I just want to window shop. With Christmas on the horizon, my love for Etsy deepens as it is, in my opinion, the best place to get unique and personal Christmas presents. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing som e of my favourite Christmas present picks , which Etsy have already started doing over on the  Etsy Editors' Pick's page , but for today I wanted to share some of my favourite Christmas cards. If you have never shopped on Etsy before and wanted to dip your toes into the water before investing in a bigger piece, purchasing a Christmas card would be the ideal way to start. Nowhere on the internet or the high street will you get such amazing selection. Whether you want funny or soppy or pop culture based or even vaguely scary (I'm thinking Krampus cards) Etsy will have your back. He

I have worn glasses for all my adult life and I am of the opinion that they are the accessory I wear most and as such serious thought goes into each and every pair. I am always on the hunt for frames with an edge which Warby Parker frames certainly do. I now have quite a wish list from the winter 2016 collection but sadly my prescription and location mean these are a no go, but as I had already visualised how I would style the glasses for this season I thought I should share my looks. Frames // Choker // Lipstick // Jeans // Bag // Watch // Jumper // Boots I could see myself living in this boot and jumper combo - they are just perfect !!                                            Frames  //  Trousers  //  Bag  //  Shoes  //  Jumper  //  Beret The purples and blacks in this look are very me - librarian chic at it's best  You can find more details on the brand here  and all the clothes linked are from Topshop * Ar

I posted this blog in January 2016 - expect to see an update on the Denim Jacket in the next few weeks My first ever style icon was Clarissa which is probably showing my age somewhat and I have decided that 2016 is the year I go back to my (un)fashion(able) roots and make clothes fun again. To do this I am going to ask myself...   WHAT WOULD CLARISSA WEAR?? Answer number 1 is a pair of denim shorts with patches which isn't really suitable given my age so the next best thing.. A denim jacket with patches along the lines of these... I have yet to get the jacket (off to eBay I go) but I have already decided on a number of patches and pins (all of which are from Etsy) which as always I wanted to share.
