                I love unusual trinkets... it looks like a cigar box when infact...

                                 

TAA DAA... its bursting with trinkets such as perfumes, bows, tickets, lovenotes,ribbons

It was my lovely friend steph's birthday, Like me she's addicted to shopping, fashion and drawn to the elegance of 50's movie stars. So she demanded a homemade card for her birthday I spent hours ripping up magazines and cutting up polaroids...add a bow and VOILA! I also mixed her up a cd with the cheesy rubbish she loves (wham!wake me up before you go go! - her favourite, she once sang it to a date, I dont think he was impressed teehee) along with breezy tones of passion pit and bombay bicycle club. Heres the card I made her: I hate my handwriting here!

and her cheeseyliscous mixed cd!

1 gig, 1 official date and lots of new york wishes.

hello beautiful boys and girls!
today I went on a date with a very special boy! i went a bit ott with topshop items and raided my mothers jewellery box for a vintage cameo brooch. our date was to see 'toystory 3' I am a huge disney fan although I am more into the older 'disney princess' type films I love the craftsmanship and knowing every detail is done purely by hand not machine. Heres hoping he will be my prince charming!

anyway since I am such a hopeless romantic I have made a 'little book of america' for ''himself'' as he loves america as much as I love hellokitty.

I plan to do every major city until I get bored... (this little project will probably never be completed!)

apart from spending time with himself I went to see BLINK 182! they opened in scotland! oh yes. and I screamed like a little groupie!

fashion tip. do not wear oversized tshirts to gigs, you come home feeling like you got in a shower no matter how gig chic you looked before.

Yes Blink were amazing memories of too much eyeliner and first converse. Scottish support band Twin Atlantic were the one of the best alternate bands I have seen in ages!

and thankyou to jaqueline for purchasing me a beautifully tacky pink wristband I will treasure it forever.

this week I plan to do a really pretty photoshoot and post it up! weather permitting.

Hope all my beautiful readers are well and hello to new followers!

Love Rosie xoxoxo

lost boy. lonely girl.

Lucean- 'by I was a boyscout'

I know a soul,

That wanders alone.

That can't compute,

Why on earth they would need charm.

I'm a test,

Like the very first book you read,

That you'll shunt aside,

The very first chance you get.

Careful and quiet,

But who would call it cautious?

Our whispers are wild,

We are not just lovers.

I know a soul,

That knows not of love.

That will push their fears,

Onto someone else.

Remembering what was said,

On that sad sad night we met.

When the door closed on us both,

And we met each other's sad sad souls.

Careful and quiet,

But who would call it cautious?

Our whispers are wild,

We are not just lovers.

You are young, and afraid,

But you are not all the same,

You can glow, and not gloat,

You cannot do wrong boy, nay
