Gift guide - Bathing Beauty...
Today's gift guide is for the bathing beauty.
Bathing beauty...
1. I just adore the delicate print of vintage flowers, birds and bird cages on the pretty packaging of the Lolita luxurious botanical hand cream in the scent of flowering Willow and Lotus with traces of Orchid, Rice flower and warm Coconut milk mixed with notes of Mandarin and Jasmine petals. 2. Inject a splash of colour in to your bathroom with the hard wearing resin rainbow free-standing mirror in bright pink, ideal for applying make up! 3. Oh, how I love the pink Portobello glass cabinet with distressed finish from Nordal; so pretty and useful.
4. I love the birds of paradise cotton robe from Pip Studio; such a cute print! 5. The bottles of Paul & Jo nail enamel in poodle pink come in lovely vintage styled bottles and would look great on a dressing table and on your nails. 6. My absolute favourite candle in the world is the Tocca Cleopatra candle and I have several dotted about my home, as the scent is divine and I adore the pretty duck egg blue labels.
7. A great stocking filler is the designer Paul Smith pale pink toothbrush, which is stylish, pretty and practical! 8. My favourite go-to place for loungewear is Hush, so these Winter bloom pyjamas are on my wish list. They come packed in pretty boxes and the pyjama set, which is made up of an oversized shirt with scoop hem and a wide leg low rise trouser, comes in a matching drawstring bag. Perfect for lounging about in on chilly nights.
9. The Savon Pur wild soap is made from pure vegetable content and this classic wild rose soap is traditionally created using natural ingredients with no use of colouring agents. The bright pink wrapping paper of this soap can even be folded into sea-orientated origami, making it a perfect gift! 10. Keep your soaps tidy in this sweet blue, round soap dish.
11. I have the birds of paradise towels in my cloakroom and always get lots of compliments, so for that reason they have made it to my gift guide. 12. Another great bathroom brightener is the beautifully packaged organic shea butter Lucia soap in sea watercress and chai tea from Canada. 13. Finally, make your bathroom feel super luxurious with this powder room print shower curtain.
Happy shopping!

Two Months Old (& giveaway alert!)
My little one is already two months! She is doing well! We have our good days and our bad days but I think overall we're beginning to have more good days. She is learning to do so much. She smiles a lot more at me, she watches her toys and moves her arms and legs fast in excitement at them, and she seems recognize voices.
Two Month Stats:
10lbs 4oz, 21 3/3 inches
50% weight, 10% in height
now picture overload time...
She still loves the bath, so much she will sleep in there...
And still has those pretty blues...

Bonnie's Baby Shower Dessert Table
Last weekend I put together a pretty dessert table for a baby shower.
I still love this colour pallet whenever I see it together - pink and yellow, and here I added a touch of chocolate
Mum to be, Bonnie had sent out invitations that had a little umbrella on them so we decided to stick with the umbrella theme for the cake and cookies.
The beautiful cake, cookies and cake pops were made by Jacki from Blissfully Sweet Cakes. I made some delicious vanilla panacotta's (you can get the recipe here) and also added macaroons, meringues, personalised chocolate bars and jars of sweets for the guests to take home. A delicious punch was also served.
Simple and elegant - just perfect for the occasion.
Very excited that this party has been featured today over on Amy Atlas' blog - thanks Amy and Lisa.
All cake stands, glassware, mini pots, spoons, enjoy stamp, tablecloth and single colour lollies can be found in the Sweet Style Store here.

Red & Green - Some Christmas Favour & Gift Inspiration
Time to kick off a series of Christmas Favour and Gift Inspiration ideas.
I am starting with something traditional - Red and Green - the options to choose from are endless with this colour combination so here is what I have come up with.
Little jars filled with chocolate beans or bon bons. Tie some twine around the top or a ribbon around the middle and you have the cutest little gift.
These perfect little clip jars are great for teachers presents - I have added some choc dipped marshmallows inside, tied it with bright ribbon and added a tag. These jars are now available in the sweet style store.
Some pretty paper bags filled with Christmas cookies - delicious!
A box of treats for the kids.
Little biscuits in scalloped boxes - so cute! These biscuits are from the local supermarket making it simple and easy.
Mini Chevron bags also look perfect with Christmas biscuits.
Giant jaffas or gum balls look great in these little boxes.
The ribbed jars look lovely with the marshmallows in them also.
Cupcake cases look so delicious filled with jelly beans.
Pine plates lined with more marshmallows - add a ribbon, wrap with some twine and a merry christmas tag and you are set to head off to Christmas drinks with the neighbours.
I hope you have enjoyed a little bit of Christmas inspiration - a new colour way next week, something not as traditional. Do you do traditional christmas colours or something a little different?
All of the jars, bottles, stamps, ribbon, twine, candy and bags are available in the Sweet Style store
