Tuesday Tabs #32

I guess I kind of skipped out last week's Tuesday Tabs, for no good reason either, because I enjoy making them for my benefit, I guess it just got thrown to the wayside thanks to all the other things I posted about last week.

This fish bowl ('Bubble Tank') from Sheffield studio Psalt Design is beautiful, while being a little nerve racking at the same time. What a lovely home for fish, their designs definitely make me think getting some goldfish is a great idea, Doll makes me remember otherwise.


Polka Dot Cat Print Lady Tie, Flapper Girl
How cute is this lady tie? There's nothing bad about polka dots or kittens.


Moose Necklaces, Finest Imaginary
I find it pretty hard to resist acrylic animal necklaces and the wood with acrylic antlers look really great.


Cat Care Print, Ink and Sword
Can anyone tell I'm a little gutted I couldn't make it to the Renegade Craft Fair last weekend? I've had a quick browse of the sellers and have already found some real gems, this cute pet poster being one of them, such neat graphic design.


Cat & Wing Print Tights, Oasap
These kitty tights are almost too much to handle.


Deena & Ozzy Tan Marta Vintage Boots, Urban Outfitters
It's the perfect time to be on the hunt for the perfect pair of autumn boots. I have been for a while because of the sad August we had, and I've got quite a collection to choose from. I love the different textures of this pair.


One of two songs I'm addicted to this week, I hope they release an album soon.
It's nice to school myself up before seeing them at Gathering next month.


The second song I'm loving, I know it's a little old now, but I recently found it through Last.fm Radio, brilliant for finding new music. The video is so fun, and the song just makes me so happy, perfect for our mini-road trip to Cornwall this weekend.

Link Love:
  • Berkley Illustration — These animal portraits from Berkley Illustration are beautiful, definite must haves for my little flat! But so many to choose from.
  • How Movie Theatres Should Be Laid Out by The Oatmeal — I guess part of me does miss working at Vue, it's really tiny though, and my job satisfaction in my current job is much higher and I don't cry before shifts... because I don't have 'shifts'! This sums up the main stuff about cinemas that I complain about, both as an employee and a customer, I couldn't agree more.
  • Pack This! Check List — I've seen a few similar pads with this kind of design floating around, I think this would be the most useful to me as I often get a little stressed from packing, although living out of a suitcase while going between Moon's, my Gran's, Home and Portsmouth has meant I've become a little better, graphically this is so fun.
  • DIY Papercraft Balloon Mobile — I seriously need to find the time to be more crafty, despite good intentions, I've only really glanced at my Craft Creatives #2 box, silly really. I've been really into mobiles lately, there seem to be so many nice ones around and they make a nice change from hanging pictures on the walls, not that I don't totally love that too!

    Spring Mint.

    Apparently the football is on, so I thought I'd take some time to give you a quick update.

    I have an interview for a Media Researcher position with BSkyB tomorrow, which I think is a pretty big deal. It is a little bit daunting thinking of all the people who must have applied for the role but it's great to have even been considered for an interview. I'm still going to go in faking confidence though, as I feel like it's similar to the kind of role I've taken on as an intern so I should be able to do it.

    I'm posting today to share with you an outfit I wore the other day, I think it really sums up how the weather has been at the moment, how amazing was it today? Saying that, I did make the mistake of not bringing a cardigan down to Moon's for this evening and am currently slobbing it up in one of his massive man hoodies. Hopefully you'll see this as a slightly more flattering outfit.


    Cardigan: H&M
    Dress: TK Maxx
    Necklaces: Primark, H&M
    Tights: Dorothy Perkins
    Socks: New Look
    Boots: River Island



    These a little bit worse for wear at the moment as I haven't cleaned them since Moon and I went to Richmond Park a few weeks ago. They're still really comfortable, but much less structured than they were, I'm going to go on a hunt for tips on how to fix this/see if I can even fix it.



    Topshop



    I picked up that dress in TK Maxx a couple of weeks ago, while in a 'it needs to be Spring now' kind of mood. I love it but was given a challenge by Moon who claimed I would be unable to pull it off. It's a slightly different length to the dresses that I usually wear but I love how floaty and girly it makes me feel, was an instant mood-lifter after the lame-fest that was attending the Job Centre on Monday.

    I've been wearing the LancĂ´me mascara that I got in my Glossybox instead of my usual, and I actually can't say that I really notice that much difference. In the picture below I even have one on one eye and the other on the other. I mean it's a nice mascara, don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty high-street and I couldn't justify it being almost 4 times the price of my usual when I don't feel that it's that amazing. I guess I did catch my Rimmel mascara on a good day, but I don't mind waiting for a good day, especially when 'bad days' aren't actually that bad.

    So, I mentioned that I had a bit of an Etsy-fest last week, I did restrain myself, but also picked up a couple of things, one I'm still waiting for, but these delights popped through the letterbox this morning, amazing. I'm not sure why I got them but they're so adorable and different from anything I've ever really seen before. I got them from Flapper Girl and they arrived pretty quickly, I can't wait to try them out.





    Here is how my nails look today, I was inspired by Kaylah over at The Dainty Squid when she modelled her robin's egg polka dot nails. I basically worked with what I had, putting my trusty eBay nail-art pen to work, I think it makes a bit of a change from my standard flowers and leopard print.

    Base: Models Own, Jade Stone
    Glitter: Rimmel, Disco Ball
    Top coat: BeautyUK Matte Top Coat

    I finally caved today and picked up a new perfume, despite what I said when I reviewed my Glossbybox. Most perfume is currently 10% off at Superdrug and I've been lusting after Lacoste 'Touch of Pink' since forever. It's a bit fruity but also so fresh, I usually get bought perfume so it was quite liberating to be able to make my own choice over how I should smell (lolz).
