Never Fade Away

Spector are a five piece indie rock band from London and their debut album is due out in August titled Enjoy it While it Lasts. I have been listening to this song a lot lately and I really like it :)
Hope you do too!

Just because...

I haven't done a Things I have eyes for for a little while now. Blogging has been at the back of my mind due to personal issues, but every so often a girl just needs nice things to make her feel good. So this week I have gone basic but beautiful! These jeans are standard but so good, I really need some new jeans...;) The top's so cute, I have had my eye on this for some time!! The shoes, oh my the shoes, I would wear them always.. :) The bag is different and I love that. And the ring, with the symbol of infinity I really do like...
Nice things :) x

Fathers Day

Today is Fathers Day and to me my dad is very important. From a very early age, although he worked away a lot my dad was always my hero, nothing he did could ever be wrong. I love him loads!

Throughout the years we have had some really great times, and some bad ones. But he will always be my dad.

My biggest memory of my dad is singing Strange Little Girl by the Stranglers to me whenever he played it. It's a song that I will always remind me of him.

My dad!

Date Night

Have you ever decided you want to go on a date night and then got stuck as to what to do? Well one night while mooching through Pinterest for ideas I came across this idea of a Date Night jar. It is a jar full of ideas for date nights!
Now being someone who is indecisive but also a very organised person I went for 5 different types of date; Dinner out, dinner in, activity with expense, activity free (or cheap), and daytime date. Both me and my man wrote a list of things that we love to do together and places that we like to go or would like to go and went for it.

We collected all the bits we needed:

You need Ice lolly sticks, paint (I used acrylic although I did do it a little too thick so maybe a different type would be better), paintbrush, marker pen, jar to fit all your sticks in, decorative bits. :)

I painted my sticks with five different colours for the five different types of date. I chose different reds, pinks and whites.

Then, when they were dry I wrote on my painted sticks with my marker pen. I wrote all the different date ideas that we had made and popped the sticks into the jar.

Then when all the sticks are in the jar pop the lid on. I then just made a fabric square and tied it onto the lid with some ribbon, but you could decorate it any way you would like! So cute. I think this will really help when you both can't decide what you want to do for a date night. I can't wait to try it out!! :)

Jubilee Fascinator

Its Jubilee time and Britain is in the Party mood!! So to go with my 50's Prom dress I have made myself a little red, white and blue fascinator with a bit of sparkle. :)

It is an oval shape and I have used red felt with red sequins, vintage purl and sparkly beads and red and blue buttons. It was only a quick make but it will add a little bit of sparkle to any outfit :) Ohhh super excited for my party now!

Crochet Blanket

Hey folks,
I just thought as I haven't said much this week that I would let you know what I have been up to. I have decided that I am going to make a crochet granny square blanket! I have been making many squares, but its going to take time. I have chosen a really nice golden colour and I am really excited to be making this, I have wanted a crochet blanket of my own for a very long time. I have vintage ones that have been passed down in my family, but one of my own will be really lovely to snuggle up in on a chilly night. :)
Hope you all have a lovely Jubilee weekend!
