Great printing service

August 20, 2014

Recently I was approached by Printed.com, a company that specialises in… you guessed it, printing services.

I picked the option of having some postcards printed and was offered 100 opf them to try the service. You can also have a great variety of other things printed, such as wedding invites, business cards, stickers, posters and a few other things.

The registration process is really quick. Then all you have to do is upload your image and pick the type of paper you want, the finish, etc. Sooo simple! I picked a drawing of mine that you might have seen already here on the blog and in a couple of days, they were delivered. The quality is good, and they came very well packaged.

Printed.com really live up to their slogan – “Click, Print, Deliver”. Two thumbs up from me!

Summer Style

A couple of weeks ago I went to Northampton for the first time, to see some friends. We had a lovely weekend and a very good laugh. Filipa was there too so I asked her to take these photos for me, for old time’s sake. It was really good fun!
I’ve been busy lately, with friends visiting, getting involved in interesting projects and generally enjoying life in London. I’m trying to be better with blogging, but I am sure that it’ll get better when the weather gets cold – I tend to avoid going out when it’s too cold, haha. For now, I’ll try to carry on blogging, as much as possible.

What I wore: Jacket – Zara, Skirt – H&M via Ebay, Stripy top – Vintage, handmade by my late great Aunt Irene, Satchel – Second hand, via blog sale, Tights – Walmart (I think), Shoes – Dune, via TK Maxx, Headband – Savers, Sunnies – Betsey Johnson, via TK Maxx

I’m joining the lovely ladies at Share- In – Style this week, join us with your own Summer outfit at Sacramento’s!

I have been made to have fun. I’m very good at it. I’m so good, I should get paid to do it. Every little thing is a good excuse for a laugh or something silly. Hotel rooms are no exception. They exist with the sole purpose of having people like me have fun in them. And this is what I did, I had all the fun I could have, jumping all over the furniture. I swear I didn’t break anything though, that wouldn’t be fun now, would it?

Outfit details: Dress – C/o of Just for 5 Pounds, Belt – H&M

I’ve been super busy lately, my family was visiting last week and we had a great time. I visited a couple of exhibitions that I’ll have to write about soon as well. My little sister Ines took the outfit photos – isn’t this the best top ever? It was a present from the lovely Rowena. Thank you, I owe you something equally as fabulous! For those not familiar, it’s a visual pun on the punk/hardcore band Black Flag’s logo.

Outfit details: Jacket – Next (via Ebay), Headscarf – Lisbon flea market, a lifetime ago, Skirt – Primark, Purple Heart Brooch – H&M, Bobby Socks – Primark, Pompom Sandals – Kt something whatever, Satchel Bag – Second hand, Sunglasses – Betsey Johnson

Share In Style – White

July 21, 2014

According to recent blog posts here on the blog, it would appear that I currently spend my life in cemeteries. It’s only half true – I still go to the one close to work almost every day.

That said, I ended up spending a couple of hours at another one of London’s Victorian cemeteries (Bromptom Cemetery) the other weekend. It’s quite big and overgrown. I took a few pics, of course. Do not think this was a gloomy day, because it wasn’t. It was sunny and the crickets could be heard all around.

this is what I wore on this particular day: vintage dress from ASOS Marketplace, Irregular Choice shoes and white bobby socks from Primark. Yes, that’s the only white thing about this outfit, but oh so important. (I’m adding this post to Mis Papelico’s Share-In-Style)
