Noelle Downing of Noelle's Favourite Things shot her Book of Deer Grizzly Skirt in an adorable Valentine's themed post last month. We love how she accented her girly outfit with red lips, a hair bow and the cutest Ora Delphine heartbreakers bag.  Our Grizzly Skirt is still 30% off in the online shop - limited stock left so snap yours up quick!  

Bears can be romantic too!

As you know, you can't go online on the London Tube, and since Candy Crush Soda isn't really my thing I usually spend tedious journeys scrolling through my phone gallery. I was sitting on the tube admiring my winter holiday pics and realised I never posted about my trip to Taipei, Taiwan. It was a flyby visit, with just 3 days we had to pack in as much eating as we possibly could. I didn't expect to be so taken with Taipei, but I came away with a new-found respect for bubble tea and completely charmed with the tidy cityscape. Highlights were Eslite (24hr bookstore!), trendy Fujin Street, shaved ice from Ice Monster, Line characters everywhere and perfect-temperature teas. It was also a great opportunity to brush up on my rusty Mandarin, although I think we only established that I speak like a child. So here is a little snapshot diary of my time there. Lots of cute stuff and lots of food. All pics taken with my HTC phone which, might I add, is a Taiwanese phone.

And if you would like to feed your habit with an Anime dedicated to food I would recommend Shirokuma Cafe しろくまカフェ  a manga series by Aloha Higa. It revolves around the a café run by a polar bear, it's adorable and will make you very hungry!! Now if you'll excuse me I have to go rummage in the fridge...

Hello! I seem to have slept through Valentine's Day... so here I am blazing straight into Chinese New Year festivities! I'm quite happy about this year being the year of the Sheep, it's meant to be a lucky year for me as I'm a Tiger. Plus sheep are cute. So in the spirit of the new year I am sharing this amigurumi pattern by Stephanie of All About Ami. Stephanie's blog has an amazing catalogue of tutorials on how to make your own Amigurumi (knitted crochet animals)

I promise to be back soon with a round up of Pure London and the launch of Book of Deer Country Kitchen collection in the online shop! All good stuff ahead.
