Love Little

Wow I am back! I have finally settled back into working full time and I love my new job. It’s hard work but I love the buzz and Next is such a great place to work.

I wanted to start this week with some pictures of a movie which has really influenced my style lately. Now we all know how much I love Paris and have a great desire to be French. When I watched Coco Before Chanel, I fell totally in love. Not only did I love the clothes but the character of Coco was so lovable, her zest for life and failure to conform made her a perfect heroine in my eyes.

This room is as stunning as the film. Have a good weekend.

I have just noticed the new Orla Kiely range is out featuring Edie Campbell, who is the most perfect choice. You can see more photos here. Makes me so excited for summer.

As most of you know, I am currently in the process of relocating back to Nottingham, after living in Manchester for 6 years I am finally returning to the motherland to start my new job as a Textile Designer for Next.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of packing and getting the flat ready to be rented out. I’m still coming to terms with someone else living in my home which took so long to create. Although massively excited about this new stage in my life and the prospect of designing for such a major high street retailer, I am somewhat nervous and to be honest knackered – this packing business is exhausting! While it can be said that the posts on lovelittle have been somewhat sporadic, I think over the next few weeks they will very few and far between. Having said that, once I am moved and sorted, business will resume as normal and I shall switch on my Etsy and Folksy shops again.

Thank you to everyone who has shown me support over the last year and a half, especially my fiancé because without you, it wouldn’t have been possible. x

The Big Smash is a blog showcasing the amazing illustrations of my friend Laurence, who I know through the treasure trove of creative talent at Hot Bed Press. Not only does his blog show his brilliant illustrations and etchings but it’s seriously funny.
