Marc by Marc Jacobs - Saving the Birds!

Marc by Marc Jacobs has done it again. Yet another offering of products I'm finding it very hard to resist spending my life's savings on ... Must. Resist. Must. Resist. MUST RESIST!

Any regular readers will be aware of my soft spot for bird-related items, so all these lovely things from Marc by Marc Jacobs have got me weak at the knees (and purse strings... NO! PUT IT AWAY!)

Let's have a peak shall we . . .

Above: Jumbled Birds Tote = £160

Above: Tossed Birds Umbrella = £55. How cute is that handle?!

Above: Tossed Birds Scarf = £175

Above: Love Dove Necklace = £44.31 (Nordstrom)

Above: The bag I've been lusting over for a year now (see this post) is still calling to me *sigh*. Natasha Bag = £375.

Above: Green Bird Necklace = £37.79 (Nordstrom)

So what do you think? Do these birds get your heart all a flutter? They certainly do mine, especially the bags and scarf. Resisting is no good, I might have to save up and treat myself to something . . .

Shoegazer Haul: Homeware

As promised, here are the bits and pieces of homeware I picked up on my recent trip to the antique shops of Lewes . . .

Above: I fell in love with this antique wooden side table instantly! The birds engraved in the wood are perfect! I love that it seems they were once a pale blue colour but the paint has worn away. I am so pleased with this purchase!

Above: This wasn't cheap but I couldn't leave it behind. I have big plans for my future living room and this will fit in perfectly!

Above: This vintage tin will also fit in with my planned theme - and no, the theme isn't nautical!

Above: Another vintage tin, and another item destined for my future living room! I am particularly pleased with this find as I saw it in another shop for twice the price!

Above: Photos don't do this glass bowl justice, it is such a beautiful bright blue colour in real life!

Thanks for looking :) Click here for more of my collection of vintage tins.
