INTERIOR | floating clutch










After never finding that perfect place to store my clutch bags, I made it my mission to find an attractive [and affordable] clutch bag holder.  I only had to look as far as Ikea. 

I found this wine glass rack holder that  attaches to a rail mounted to the wall. The pegs hold the bags by opening the zip slightly and pushing the bag onto the peg. 


These pots are also available to attach onto the rail. These would make good product, make up brushes holders. 



Rail | £2.50
Rack | £6.00

Total Cost | £8.50

ACCESSORIES | minimal time teller





Whist on holiday in Ibiza with  just a few [24!] friends, I decided to wear my beloved watch in the sea. [After accidentally swimming with it on in the pool and being shocked that it was still working] Two weeks later whist back in London it broke.


As it is unfixable and to me buying a watch is a pretty big decision [its on your wrist everyday and you look at it a lot] I thought why not get a cheap alternative to buy me a bit of time.



I found this minimal mate on ASOS in the sale for £8.00.



ASOS watch | £8.00

DIY | fluffy fall













If you wore your Birkenstocks as much as me this summer, the thought of saying good bye to these comforty shoes brings a thought of distress, however after falling in love with Célines furry sandals I figured I could bring my Birkenstocks to autumn by simply adding fur.





1| measure the Birkenstocks straps, length and width
2| cut fur
3| place sticky pads along the sides of the Birkenstocks straps [they don't damage the shoe]
4| stick the fur onto the shoes placing pressure on each pad for a few seconds

Fur x1 meter | £9.00 
Sticky Pads | £1.49 

Total Cost | £2.49
