Ask Alice..

Phew...just back from London busy busy. But enjoyed a sneeky private view of Alice in Wonderland at the swank Soho Hotel last night which was a lovely way to end my week. I must say Tim Burton didn't disappointment - not my favourite version of Alice's adventures but the Cheshire cat along with Johnny Depps Scottish accent made it a diefinate contender. My favourites still include Disneys film version and John Tenniels original drawings. I have to stock up on all the amazing Alice inspired goodies that are around just now - as this has long been one of my favourite stories! I particularily like the Paul and Joe cosmetics range...so cute!!

Hello Kitty Bride

After I spent yesterday looking at bridal gowns with my sister it got me thinking about the gorgeous Hello Kitty Bridal Jewellery coming soon to www.sparklecandy.co.uk by Tarina Tarantino. We sold out of this range really quickly last Spring Summer so make sure you join the Sparklecandy mailing list to ensure you hear about it first - due in around April!

Post Valentines High

After seeing the first few snowdrops popping there dainty little heads through the snow this weekend I am now properly looking forward to Spring and some lighter and brighter times. I was lucky enough to be swept away for the weekend by my boyf to enjoy some skiing and beautiful scenery up the Cairngorm mountains. Still riding on a romantic high I have been wearing the Ruby Rose Cherub Charm necklace today...it's so sweet! These are on sale now at Sparklecandy and look perfect with some of this seasons floaty little floral numbers...

Happy Blogday!

I feel excited to be writing my very first blog entry today. It's not quite Valentines Day yet but I thought I would kick things off with an approprately romantic entry...I've just finished The Sparklecandy Top Ten Paris.

I created this as a whistle stop tour around my favourite Paris haunts, including patisseries, vintage boutiques and gorgeous palaces. The guide had been illustrated by the inspired Vicky Scott .

I have been working with Vicky since starting my e-boutique Sparklecandy and she always creates the most wonderful graphics for whatever project I am working on.

I am still getting used to how this all works so will hopefully have a downloadable PDF version available soon . .

Happy Valentines xx
