tarnish

(river island via asos)

i had an anklet similar to this years ago, i found it earlier this week looking all rusty and gross and actually squealed slightly with excitement when i saw that asos had this one for just £5. it's the small things hey.

whisper

(for fashion gone rogue)

there is something about the feel of these photos that i love, and the heavy black top eyeliner is always a winner with me.

sparkle

(topshop)

most enjoying these shiny bras. sorry for the lack of posting, the countdown to my final ever hand in at uni has begun and the poor little blog has been feeling rather lonely (as has my social life), so please bare with me for the time being and once it is all over the Q. blog will be back on top form.

crown

(fiona cairns jubilee cake for harrods)

my absolute favourite cake maker fiona cairns made this wonderful cake crown for harrods' display for the jubilee. the entire thing and the cushion it sits on is edible and encompasses the emblems of the four nations - the english rose, the scottish thistle, the welsh daffodil and the irish shamrock. i want an edible crown.

diamond

(elizabeth ii photographed by bassano via the national portrait gallery)

it is our lovely queen's diamond jubilee and we are all celebrating sixty marvellous years of elizabeth ii on the throne this weekend (for four days! holla!). looking forward to spending it with my family then with the man-friend once i've picked him up from the airport on sunday. lots of sandwiches, scones and cakes will most definitely be consumed. hmm nom nom nom. hope fellow british people have a lovely jolly jubilee.
