Cushion concussion!

I wouldn't go for a neutral home decor even if you paid me to do it! Whoever is responsible for spreading the decorative leprosy that is magnolia wall paint, should be locked up in a cell untill they cry themselves to sleep.
My living space is small and the uk is, on average, murky and wet. So my cunning strategy is to fight back with brightness, color and patterns that remind me of warmer lands... I wouldn't mind being hit with one of these...@_@ But why oh why is beauty so expensive?

It is a fact: embroidered textiles have the power to make me gasp. And stare at my wallet with unfulfilled expectations...




And, finally, these 3. Jaw-dropping antique beauty and drop dead prices...



And here are the lovely softies that already adorn my home!^^:

Ethnic Cleansing!
(haha, how very "Bruno" of meXD)
The hippy is back! This time of year, like every year, women around the globe will mount a predictable response to the increasing intensity of photo and thermo-stimuli. While plants build up a layer of chlorofil and generally keep the life on Earth going, we proceed to shave our legs and... moan with disappointment: nothing to wear this spring!
It's true - fashion shifts each season in an exhausted effort to make us spend money to drive the multiple industries behind it. But that's why god invented the "classic looks"! The purchases made in his/their name you can rely on for years and all you'll need is an odd update to keep it looking fresh. Frankly, they are THE answer to global warming.
The archetypes of fashion (though you may know them by a different name) are: the "safari look", the "floral frock", the "rock chic" and our beloved "bohemian hippy". I promise to devote my precious enthusiastic time and effort to all of them but today we will be inspired to put together a fresh version of the ethnic look!
Ok, first off - dresses. Why go for shorts when you can be a goddess;)
Frankly, there is nothing on the high street that quite compares with French Connection. I know, it is pricey and I have yet to succeed in saving up enough money to actually buy one of their... anything. But a girl can dream:)
Bottom line is: they have the best mouth-watering hippy-boho dresses. And here they are:
