Hello, I hope your week has kicked off with a bang. You get a double post from me today; an outfit AND a review, to make up for what might be a lack of posting and commenting from tomorrow as my week gets hectic with Birthday (non) celebrations spending time with my family, and then a flurry of appointments.
Hopefully by the weekend I’ll be back with you 100% 😉
So firstly, I know that like me a lot of you are suckers for gorgeous stationary. Well, look at these beauties:
Are they not the most bright and cheerful notebooks ever?
Not only do they LOOK gorgeous, these books by ecosystem are totally environmentally sound, too.
The lovely Ivy was kind enough to send me three of their Author journals (in watermelon, clementine and kiwi) so I could see for myself.
The books are also available in several other vibrant colours and styles including blank, architect and advisor making them perfect for all your fashion musings.
Here’s some information for you:
“Like all of us, each ecosystem has a unique past, present and future. From the packaging to the paper, the book’s past brings together recycled parts to create a new chapter in the life of each component. Every ecosystem product is made from 100-percent post-consumer recycled materials using low-impact processes that are environmentally savvy and responsible. Made entirely in compliance with U.S. Fair Trade standards, ecosystem moves notebooks forward.
Want the full story? Just register your ecosystem online (www.ecosystemlife.com) using its unique ID number to learn the origin of every component in your book and the innovative way it was constructed and if your ecosystem become separated, we’ve got a way to reunite the two of you.”
Like I said above, the books are so bright and cheerful and I just love that you can register and learn about exactly where your book came from! The quality is just fantastic and you can order inserts to extend the capabilities of your book such as a to-do list or calendar.
Check out the website for more information, stockists or order online!
Phew, this is turning in to a longer post than I anticipated! But I have to show you the third pair of leggings sent to me by James at Black Milk! I apologise now as the photos DO NOT do these babies justice, un-cooperative lighting and camera frustrate me!
This is the teardrop laces (side) style, available here. It was a bit chilly here yesterday so I added pink tights under mine for additional warmth and a cool contrast.
I have one more pair to share with you, but that will have to wait!
And well,
if you made it through this entire post then you deserve a cookie/cupcake/slice of birthday cake!
I’ll be updating and commenting when life allows me too! Stay safe and have fun!

love the notebooks + how you styled the tights!

Very sexy! I love that you layered the tights, such a pretty effect. 😀
lovely outfit hun, and i like the notebooks, i really need to find a new diary, as i threw my last one out in a fit of rage recently about how much it was about the ex and my broken heart, didn;t want to write anymore in it as it depressed me!
Happy Birthday for this week hun.

I like the pop of pink in those slashed tights! Especially combined with the floral dress, they make a killer combination!!
Life comes first of course hehe:)

Love the pink tights peeping through the leggings!
The notebooks look awesome! I wonder if they’re available in the UK?
And those leggings are awesome – even more so with the pop of pink underneath!
Love the last pic of you! And the leggings look nice with the tights underneath, subtle touch!

Oh yes, I am very much addicted to notebooks and would definitely love one of those. Those colors!
And the leggings are very cool! I love that you put pink underneath it.
Those notebooks are so neat. Gotta love Eco-friendly and stylish. Speaking of stylish, your boots are awesome! I love how you’ve paired the delicate floral dress with the edgier boots and leather tights. So cool!

Great post, and I heart those leggings! And the notebooks actually. I’m such a sucker for lists, I should probably get me some of these books!
Glad you’re a supermarket whore like me. I just get so excited by all the possible things you can buy! Consumerism at it’s worst… I hate myself! 🙂

I like the layered tights effect. That dress you’re wearing is so pretty – I like how you’ve toughened it up a bit with the sexy tights and the black ankle boots though. x

Cute notebooks! I love the fact they’re eco friendly.
And awesome leggings… adding the pink tights is a great way to add contrast!

i like layered leggings! i like the side detail of the black milk leggings. talking about leggings, im having a giveaway of a sheer pair.
big kiss
