You may have noticed my absence over the last week or two.  I’ve not only completed an international move but have successfully found a new flat in Edinburgh and packed my entire wardrobe, so I hope you’ll forgive me for my lack of updates.  Here, to make it up to you, are a few of the things that have caught my eye over the last few days:

A: Parma Violets Lily-Flame Candle in a Tin at John Lewis, £8.00 (GBP)

B:Marsha Large Ribbon Pump at TopShop, £28.00 (GBP)

Okay, I admit, I actually like the US Urban Outfitters better - they have a wider selection of shoes and they stock these awesome ‘Writing on the Wall’ coat racks.  That doesn’t mean the UK Urban Outfitters isn’t bloody fantastic, they just… you know… need to get more shoes.  Anyway, here’s some of their new range which is actually quite lovely:

E: Broken Stripe Double Layer Top by Religion at Urban Outfitters, £58.00 (GBP)

Okay, so usually these department stores and high-street chains aren’t known for their remarkable fashion collections, but some of these are actually quite nice:
