Etsy : Difference Makes Us

As I have already alluded to, I love Etsy. Whenever I want to buy practically anything, Etsy is always my first port of call. Makeup, clothes, art, jewellery, food - you name it, I have purchased it.

And the latest Etsy campaign, Difference Makes Us, celebrating everyone's uniqueness is the exact reason I am obsessed with the site, and sellers thereon.

Everyone needs to head over to the page and check out the campaign video - Just today someone commented on how my mug at work was so me.

So I spent one lunch break considering what differences make me me and I came up with a few....

I am an accountant ……. but i'm covered in tattoo’s

I don’t like horror movies……. But I’m obsessed with Jack the Ripper.

I have to dress smart for work…….. but I always add a twist

Ear Jackets Marble Circle Hoop Bar Minimal Front Back Earrings Industrial Modernist

The list is endless, just considering the differences between myself and my husband would result in a list that goes on and on but to name just a few

I believe in aliens and ghosts and he doesn’t

I like milky tea, he has his black

He plays computer games, I read

so to conclude in the words of Dr Seuss…

In case you were wondering , the mug in question was from Etsy but the shop no longer exists #sadface

What makes you unique?

Do you have a favourite Etsy item or seller that expresses you perfectly?

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me) you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options. Cheesies Advent Ca...

Inspired by // Miles Donovan Solar System (2) C/2011

Now that we are post Christmas I am starting to think about the fashion and beauty trends for S/S 2017 and have spent many hours browsing Vogue for catwalk pictures from designers big and small. I was then separately browsing Pinterest (as you can do for hours on end) for collage artists (my new obsession) and stumbled upon this picture which I later found out was by Miles Donovan. (c) Miles Donovan (02/12/2011 20.20 UTC) Solar System (2) C/2011 Upon seeing this picture a light bulb went off in my head - the colour palette was nearly identical to that used by Nino Banukhadia in their Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection. The varying shades of grey will cool yellows and khakis are beautifully offset by the warm reds used around the eyes. This is a colour palette I could incorporate into my wardrobe and makeup this season quite comfortably as it is not too far of a departure from the dark greys (and blacks) that I wear on a daily basis.

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa
