Etsy Favourites // Pin's

I LOVE pins - they are the ultimate accessory as you can add them to anything and change them up depending on your mood.

As a huge Clarissa fan as a pre-teen, I have fully embraced the 90's revival and have invested in a vintage denim jacket that I plan to cover in pins and patches (blog here).

This is my current collection though I have a few more on the way to add.

Since purchasing the jacket one of my favourite past times is to browse Etsy for pins and patches to add to my jacket and I thought I should share some of the recent additions to my wishlist.

IRIS // ARTHUR // STRANGER THINGS // ET // ANCIENT ASTRONAUT // YETI // DRINK TEA // BETELGEUSE // DEMIGUISE // SUPERNATURAL // REAL MONSTERS // JUST PEACHY // ENCHANTED ROSE // DOBBY

Do you like my picks - a lot of them are inspired by my favourite TV as a child (and adult !!)

Do you collect pins? Do you have a favourite seller I should check out?

Throwback post WWCW // Denim Jacket with Patches

I posted this blog in January 2016 - expect to see an update on the Denim Jacket in the next few weeks My first ever style icon was Clarissa which is probably showing my age somewhat and I have decided that 2016 is the year I go back to my (un)fashion(able) roots and make clothes fun again. To do this I am going to ask myself... WHAT WOULD CLARISSA WEAR?? Answer number 1 is a pair of denim shorts with patches which isn't really suitable given my age so the next best thing.. A denim jacket with patches along the lines of these... I have yet to get the jacket (off to eBay I go) but I have already decided on a number of patches and pins (all of which are from Etsy) which as always I wanted to share.

Filling up the creative well when you are struggling....

Maya Angelou famously said “You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” but I am sure I am not alone in not struggling with the concept, especially at the moment. Anyone who knows me personally will know that I have battled with my mental health for over half my life and despite an amazing support circle, the right medication and a whole toolbox of tools, sometimes my mood just dips that little bit lower than normal and despite a real urge to create (something, anything !!!) nothing appears. I am by no means an expert and I sat here writing this rather than creating, so read into that as you may, but there are a few things I have been doing recently to try a keep my creative spark alive until something clicks and I can spend a few hours creating for me again. 1. Keeping up with my favourite creators on Social Media Dina Wakley is a huge inspiration of mine after first seeing her on YT a few years ago, and she has been so generous wi...
