Samira Boon Furoshiki Shiki lust
The i Pad Furoshiki Shiki created by Samira Boon deserves it's own post.
I've been lusting over this amazing piece of Japanese/Dutch design for a while, having seen it held by Ivania Carpio of Love Aesthetics.
I don't even own an i Pad mind, read the name of the blog! But like Ivania I think this makes an awesome clutch especially with the neon thing going on everywhere at the moment.
I . NEED . TRANSPARENT . STUFF
Now this is a very impractical craving when living in East London... think about it.
The envelope style simplicity of this is actually amazing as demonstrated below:
Comes in LOADS of colours.
When the next bit of loan comes in I think I'll go for the green one. BOOM!
Wow, don't know where that came from.
my dissertation research proposal won't write itself .
Oh and one more thing inspired by Ivania Carpio :
I guess these are third hand, she copied these from her sister. Hers were nude and black but I was digging some Louboutin style nails

What I need in my life / Boy London
Today I got all dressed up to go to uni but couldn't be arsed to go in, so I stayed at home and did work. I thought seeing as Queen Mary has just become a Russell group uni I might find it in me to put in a bit more effort.
Or not....
Still waiting for my denim jacket and litas to arrive in the post, should have seen me running down the stairs this morning to check the post!
ALSO ... I have a really cool DIY coming up soon of Boy London hats.
To give you some background...
Boy London is an iconic label created by Stephane Raynor in 1977 that was seen everywhere in the 80's on the chicest trend-setters to club kids.
Now as a favourite label of Rihanna and other celebrities it has made a huge comeback over the last year or so. I will be recreating this hat:
Although it only retails at £30 I can't afford it atm (thanks to my crippling eBay addiction)
And it's really easy to make
WATCH THIS SPACE - tutorial to come.
And because I'm so poor I've decided to put together a wishlist of stuff I would buy right now if I wasn't so skint :)
WHAT I WANT/NEED IN MY LIFE :
2. Multicolour Nail varnish - Topshop
3. Smile Belt - Asos
4. 80's jacket - Rokit QUICK SOMEONE BUY ME THIS!!!
5. Flatform / platform leopard print trainers - Office
6. Banana print T-Shirt dress - ASOS
7. Gym Satan Laundry muscle T - UNIF

DIY body chain - cross earring - pink nails - New Mascara
This morning I woke up a bit of a diva, sent Rob (my boyfriend) to the shop for Shreddies in the rain then decided to stick huge long fake nails on top of my own short little stumps :)
I used Collection 2000 Hot Looks fast dry in 34 - Hula Hoop as a base on top of Nailene full cover Oval nails.
Fancied a bit more than just candy pink so I whipped out some black nail varnish (by No. 7) and went to town :)
Ignore my misshapen witch fingers hahaha!
Last night, after spending a good three hours working in the library I made a couple of pieces of jewellery.
Whilst drooling over Zac Efron I managed to construct this dangly cross earring. It drapes right down to my shoulder and I don't think it's bad for a first try?
The only thing I would have liked to do differently is to buy gold crosses as opposed to bronze ones. I really wanted to make the earring gold as opposed to silver but hey I'm skint so I just got the cheapest offered by ebay.
I also managed to throw together this Body chain, pretty simple , using about 1.5m of two different types of chain :) What do you think?
Just realised Orange have cut off my phone because I forgot to pay my bill, that's what I get for caring about the environment by scrapping paper bills .
Also just accidentally called the police, the operator was not impressed when I told her I was calling Orange to pay my bill and my new nails were making this very difficult. Awwkkwarrrd.
Oh sorry if my writing is shit I am quite overwhelmed with the Welsh Rugby win !!!
