Helen Rochfort - Drink me - Eat me - handbag

I first saw Helen Rochfort's bags advertised in a magazine (I think it was New! magazine)
Do you know when you see something and you just have to have it? Well this was it! So I researched it and found it for £65. I've had it for a couple of years now and I keep it immaculate as it's one of my favourites. For Christmas I'm getting the 50 years anniversary Sindy one and I am so excited. It arrived yesterday and I was so good that I didn't even peek!
So yes I love Sindy too! <3

I absolutely adore Alice In Wonderland and cupcakes and this bag encapsulates pure beauty.
I love the colours, detailing and  the unique design. It makes me feel like a dressed up dolly when I wear it with an outfit. This suits my personality down to a T :)
There are diamantes adorned on the bag and the clutch part at the top is a clear crystal.
Inside there is a long strap that can be attached to use but I prefer to hold it in my hand. There is a little charm too with the initials HR on that dangles but be careful as this sometimes gets caught in the clasp so the bag won't close until you move it out of the way.

The bag arrives in a pink and white stripy drawstring bag too and a certificate of authenticity which I haven't photographed here.

It is definitely one of my favourite bags ever! Helen once advertised a pink cupcake ring too and I was too late at getting one! Boo! She now does scarves, satchels, clutches and phone cases too.
There are a wide range of designs available and the more I look , the more I want!

She also has a Facebook page too which is here.

For the love of Oz!

I love, love, love the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. Whenever I see anything to do with them it gives me the feel-good-factor!

                                               Here are my Wizard of Oz goodies.

 

I went to see Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful as soon as it came out at the cinema and I loved it so much that I bought it on Blu-ray.
Above left is my Urban Decay 'Glinda' palette which was a limited edition and was released to coincide with the film release. I almost bought the Theodora palette too but with my hair colouring and blue eyes I felt that it wouldn't suit me. As soon as I saw them advertised I had to get one and waited im patiently until the release date! I thought the packaging was absolutely gorgeous and magical. How stunning is the head piece that Michelle Williams who plays Glinda in the film? I need one of those in my life to wear! This will be next on my wishlist.

In the centre of the photograph is 'Everthing Oz' by Christine Leech and Hannah Read-Baldrey. Available at Amazon (amongst other places)  This is a happy, inspirational book that makes me feel all creative just looking at it. Inside it has creative photographs and includes fifty things to creatively make and bake. I need to make a Toto cushion, cherry pie, bluebird wreath, cyclone cupcakes, squashed witch cupcakes, silver-nut sundae and I'm going to stop there because it's making me hungry! I absolutely adore this book so much that I also have two other books written by the same author(s)
