Pink!

I've had a go at baking this evening after finding a really cute looking recipe on the amazing blog Shes got a Passion for Fashion. My cupcakes are very, very pink and not as beautiful but I think they are quite cute. The scarf in the background is vintage and the cameo is off a necklace from Topshop (I had to include something shiny!). I also fell in love with the rose water bottle - it was adorable and it fit in with the very pink theme. Well this picture sums up this evening's fun :) 

Pretty in pink but I do love the vintage cameo.

Until next time,

Much love,

New Beginnings

Hey my name is Becky and this is my new blog Treasures that Shine. I started this after being inspired by a handful of fashion blogs that I have been following for about a year and have finally decided to try creating one myself. I am hoping to share some of my outfits and my thrifting finds on here as well as the many shiny things that I adore and can not live without. I will give you an insight into the crazy whirlwind that is my wardrobe and hopefully be able to make some fashion magic. 

I am hoping to post fairly regularly - fingers crossed until I hit exams so I am sorry if I can't but I am really, really looking forward to the summer where I will have plenty of free time and the weather will hopefully warm up. However right now it feels like it never will.

Summer will also bring the start of a new textiles course - its so exciting! I love sewing and making clothes as well as adapting old ones. Its just so easy and allows you to be creative in a different way. I look at magazines and other blogs as well as people on the streets for inspiration and I particularly like the 40s vintage look with a modern twist as well as 1920s art deco. I particularly loved a revival of an old ITV series that was recently on by the BBC, called Upstairs, Downstairs which was full of beautiful sets and costumes.    

The 2010 cast of the BBC drama Upstairs, Downstairs.

I hope to post more soon but until then I shall leave you with an image of my most favourite shiny object in the world. A Swarovski bracelet I was given for my 16th birthday by a very dear friend.

To me this truly is a treasure that shines.

I'll try and post again soon,

Much Love,

Becky
