I've been on the lookout for the perfect cake stand for ages now, and I just couldn't seem to find one which took my fancy! They look so lovely as jewellery stands in the corner of your bedroom, and are the perfect centre piece for a little tea party with friends! When I was contacted by the lovely people at OutThereInteriors.com to ask if I wanted to review an item, I absolutely HAD to choose this cake stand! It has three layers, of three different patterns and colour, and it has a lovely vintage feel about it.
How gorgeous is it?! And it was the perfect excuse to have a little tea party with lots of yummy cake goodies! There are so many lovely things sold on the website, and I'm particularly in love with the vintage french furniture range, I would love the white dressing table in my bedroom! :)
Thanks for reading :)
Do you have a cake stand in your house? Love Dani :)
So I'm back with a blog post about what I've been up to for the past two weeks at Waiste clothing. It's been a hectic few weeks with lots of orders and lots of exciting news, which I'm sure you will be hearing about soon via the Waiste twitter! We've created a new bloggers mailing list which is exclusive for you guys, full of news and discount codes, so if you'd like me to add you to it, leave your email in the comment box below :)
We spent the week sewing, dyeing, designing, photographing the stock, making necklaces, delivering orders, creating lookbooks and so much more! I'm loving my internship at Waiste and am really enjoying being behind the scenes seeing the company expand and improve. I have my eyes on a few of the dungarees too (especially the Lazy Daisys) so I know what I'm going to be investing in next payday! I've already got my hands on one of the ying-yang necklaces and I haven't taken it off since!
This week I wrote a blog post for the Waiste blog on how to style the Waiste dungarees. I included lots of our favourite brands including MINKPINK, Jeffrey Campbell and Topshop. You can read the full post here :)
I spent the day making these lovely ying-yang necklaces! Get your own for only £5 / How lovely is this outfit?! I need to get myself a crochet crop top to wear with some Waiste shorts! / Check out the website for all these Waiste denim jackets / Mega babe Georgia May Jagger was spotted out wearing Waiste to her dad's 70th birthday / Gorgeous blogger Lua wearing her custom-made black paisley dungarees. You can email us at Waiste and we can get whatever you like made! / All the gorge new denim shorts being made, with lots more designs coming soon! :)
I have so much love for Sara's cat Hershey! He likes to hide around the house, but when he does make an appearance he likes to help us take photos of the stock and watch the shorts get tie dyed outside :)
Me and Joe have just come back from a little weekend getaway. Most Summers we stay in his nan's caravan holiday home, and it's so nice to be able to get away and be so close to the beach. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous so we've spent our time chilling outside with a book, going down to the beach for a paddle and exploring some of the local charity shops! We also decided to celebrate Joe's birthday together and I let him open his pressies early as it's next week but I'm super busy with my internship and uni work (and I'm off to Latitude festival) that we probably won't see each other much!
We spent the first day at Bognor Regis beach. The weather was swelteringly hot, not that I'm complaining AT ALL! It just so happened that the day we went there, the Red Bull 'Bognor Birdman' was happening. It is where contestants jump off the edge of Bognor Pier with their hand crafted flying machines! It wasn't as epic as I thought it would be though, it was very long winded and we gave up watching after about half an hour, but it was still funny while we did watch! I love being by the beach, and had a nice time lounging in the sun with Joe and an ice cream :)
We spent the second day at a lovely little town called Arundel. It was really scenic and had so many cobbled streets with one-off little vintage shops. In the morning we visited a carboot sale we found, but unfortunately we were quite late for it and found nothing! We explored the streets and the castle, had a yummy lunch and came across a cute little fudge shop that we had to buy from! We then rummaged around some charity shops and treated ourselves to some ice cream!
Lastly, we found this vintage 'Aladdin's Cave' type shop which we both fell in love with. I fell in love with all the vintage lamps, clothing and homewear, and Joe fell in love with the camera room. He shoots film photography mostly, so this room was like an absolute dream, and the man who owned it was so lovely! I had never actually seen so many cameras in one room!
Here are the goodies I bought Joe for his 22nd birthday. It's not til Wednesday but I much preferred opening them together on our little holiday! We usually try to spend about £50/60 on each other and see how many little gifts we can get each other including picking things up from carboot sales and charity shops. I think I did really well this time and he loved them all! These include film photography books, silly pig cooking utensils (we're both obsessed with pigs), tattooed plasters, a gun wall hanging, beard elixir, bamboo socks, vintage style glasses, a guitar strap and t-shirts from Abandoned Ship and Homesick Clothing.
The above sign 'Give peas a chance' is on the M25 and it means that we're nearly home! We spent plenty of time driving around from town-to-town so it was lovely to chill out and listen to some music together. We listened to a lot of songs that we used to listen to when we first started going out which was nice and brought back lots of memories! Here are some of them if you fancy a listen:
Thanks for reading :) I hope you've been enjoying this gorgeous weather!
Oh my goodness! My mouth literally dropped when I saw all of the lovely new additions to the Motel Rocks website! I'm definitely going to be investing in the Daisy crop top, firstly because I love it, and secondly because it is named 'Dani'! If I was going on holiday this year, I would definitely be getting the high waisted red floral bikini. It's so lovely that I might actually just buy it in advance for a future holiday!

I love all the new prints and I also love all of the styles. The halter crop top is really flattering and would go great with disco pants, high waisted skirts and high waisted shorts. I love the shape of the sweetheart neckline on the daisy crop top, and I think it would look lovely pulled over the shoulder too. The skater dress shape is one of my favourites so I'm loving both of these dresses. I want to add a few more tea dresses to my wardrobe and these ones are perfect! :)
I absolutely love these tube skirts! They're pretty cheap and with the 20% off code they're a bargain! They look lovely with a plain black turtle neck crop and can be worn on so many occasions! I'm literally drooling over this high waisted bikini. I've been looking for a nice one for ages, and I think this is THE ONE. I love this hamsa hand print so much. I don't know whether I prefer the dress, crop top or tube skirt, but I will definitely be getting one of them! :)

I've
realised that I never really post about my style crushes. To be totally
honest, I don't really take much style inspiration from celebrities,
and much prefer to take inspiration from other bloggers, but there are
some people who I love and feel deserve a blog post. My first style
crush is Peaches Geldof. I haven't loved her style forever, but over the
past few years photos of her keep popping up, and since following her
instagram she seems really nice and down to earth! I love browsing her photos to see what she's up to, what she's wearing and how her cute little family are getting on! :)
I
love this outfit with her little bump on show. I wouldn't have thought
that a dark pink dress would look nice with red lippy but I actually
love this look!
I really
like tattoos in general - me, my boyfriend and most of my friends have
them so I'm always looking for tattoo inspiration! I love these small tattoos she has on her legs in particular, and she has a lot of nice little tattoos around her body! They're not too garish and I can't wait to get more little tattoos like this! :)
(image source) I think she looked absolutely gorgeous on her wedding day. She married Thomas Cohen in September 2012, and wore a beautiful lace dress with a floral head crown and lovely veil.
(image source) I took this photo straight away when I saw it in Hello Magazine - how cute is this idea for a wedding dress?! Getting the name of you and your husband embroidered into the wedding dress! I will most definitely be doing this for my own wedding! :)
Thanks for reading :) Do you like Peaches style too?
