this DIY is a combination of two ideas that I found on pinterest; a bunny jar tutorial from torie jayne and a picture of a glass jar filled with little notes.

the idea is sweet and simple, whenever something good happens you to this year write it on a slip of paper and add it to the jar. at the end of the year open up the jar and remind yourself all the nice things that happened in 2014! (I guarantee if you're anything like me you'll have forgotten about some of them..)

it's amazingly easy to make this DIY, you'll need a glass jar, a small rabbit figurine, glue and spray paint.

here's how to go about making your own:

once dry screw the lid back onto the jar and you're finished! collect some pretty sheets of paper and whenever something good happens remember to write it down and pop it in the jar!!

longline animal faux fur: asos (on sale)

vintage tiger sweater: oxfam

wing ring: c/o jana reinhardt

necklace: urban outfitters

michael kors watch c/o shadestation

jeans: topshop

slip ons: kurt geiger

after an shameful amount of 'animal print faux fur' google searches I finally found this little number on asos and added it to my christmas list. I don't know what started this quest for leopard print (I promise kat slater isn't becoming my go-to fashion inspo for 2014) but now I have some in my wardrobe I can finally consider that itch scratched.

I finally got my mitts on some kurt geiger slip on's* and they've been on my feet ever since (sending santa a hi 5.. you did good bearded one) they're so comfy they'll probably remain there for some time. 

*also known as plimsolls but that word just reminds me of PE class and let's face it nobody needs to revisit that particular horror story..

I have a little giveway for you tonight, yippee!

I love anything vintage and catseye london have the GREATEST collection of cute and kitsch accessories. from stationery to shoppers they have retro covered so I was really excited to show you this brand new wash bag that just landed in their 2014 range! I was sent this one before the collection launched so I was lucky enough to get an exclusive.. and the best part is it's up for grabs!

the spec wearing ladies (seriously sunglasses envy going on...) is one of their latest designs and the quality of the bag and print is top notch. I've got one of their washbags already and can confirm it's a godsend for stashing my skincare in! it's also pretty vast as far as wash bags go.. it holds dozens of items and the new wash bags have clear side pockets for holding small items like nail scissors whilst travelling... winner!

I picked up some of their purses and nail files as stocking fillers this christmas and everyone loved them. they have a great selection of retro gifts from kooky pooches to glamorous girls so their site is well worth a peek! 

just enter the rafflecopter giveaway below and I'll pick the lucky winner of this bag on the 13th!

(this giveaway is international so overseas readers feel free to throw your hat in the ring as this little beauty is willing to travel!)
