Good evening Petals, long time no speak!
Since we last spoke, I've been a busy bee with lots of assignments, family birthdays (including yours truly) and a cheeky trip to Corfu after a bout of homesickness! I've also just moved back up north from London which means once a week I'll be commuting down South for uni. In other words, it's been a rather stressful few weeks. On my countless train journeys, I've been screenshotting bursts of inspiration and bookmarking eclectic bits and bobs that have tickled my fancy!
It's only right to begin with the event of themonth YEAR...
It's been over a week and I still catch myself daydreaming about Solange's dreamy wedding. The wedding dress, the wedding jumpsuit, the gold cuffs, the bicycles, THE CAPE... it's any Pinteresters heaven! Can we also take a moment to fawn over her adorable mother-son wedding dance too?!
If (like me) you want to see every inch of Solange's outfits from the day, this Buzzfeed article is for you. From the back of Solange's infamous jumpsuit, to the gold flecks on her husband's shoes... head to toe chic! This may also be the first time a journalist has ever referred to Beyoncé as 'Solange's sister', which still has me grinning.
During my two hour train trips from Manchester to the big smoke, I've been immersing myself into uni assignments and have found listening to full albums on Youtube really gets my creative juices flowing. Two of my favourites this month have been...
And finally, there was one particular magazine cover that took the world by storm this month and statistically (no seriously, there's so many of them they're practically a tribe) it was more likely to be from one partiKular family. I'll let you decide...
Who did it best? Kim Kardashian or Ursula?
I'm leaning towards the sea witch ;-)
But I think we all know who really broke the internet this week...
Which is your favourite music video from the latest Beyoncé binge?
(God love them Queen B binges!)

I've seen this image floating around Instagram and if I'm not mistaken believe it's a custom Adam Selman piece (the mastermind behind Rihanna's infamous CFDA fashion awards gown... remember the one covered in 230,000 swarovski crystals?). How incredible is this rainbow fringe costume?!
Yesterday the trailer for Pan was realised and oh my. Whoever was the casting director needs a huge Christmas bonus... Cara Delevingne as a mermaid and Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily? Inspired!
Anyone who knows me, knows my love for Bette Midler.
Sundays aren't complete without watching one of her classic flicks, such as Hocus Pocus, Beaches, and my all-time favourite The First Wives Club (which features my other two loves, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn). A few weeks ago, Bette did her first Reddit AMA and it was just faaaabulous!
As it's Wednesday, I thought I'd add a mini Wednesday Wishlist...
Growing up surrounded by quirky designs in my dad's jewellery shop 'Mercury Design', I've always been drawn to statement pieces. Lately, I've been obsessed with the Khai Khai Zodiac medallion collection. They remind me of the Aquarius pendant my Nana has worn every day for the past 30 years... pretty spectacular! But at £2,000 a pop, I'll be swooning for quite a while!
My eyes turned into giant cartoon beating hearts when I saw this midnight blue velvet tuxedo in Topshop. BEHOLD...
Also loving these fresh to death kicks from the recent Mary Katrantzou x Adidas collaboration...
Whislt browsing online through Harper's Bazaar, I found this adorable collection of candid shots of a wee Kate Bush taken by her brother. It was clear from an early age that this performer was destined for big things.
