Ellie’s blog is basically a compendium of awesomeness. She finds lovely, fun, and generally cool items spanning from jewelry and accessories to art and everything in between, and features them on her blog. The result: endless inspiration and fun! You simply have to check it out, but first, here’s a taste of it, from Ellie herself.
If you could pick a destination to travel to right now, what would it be and why?
With all the excitement going on in the lead up to the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, there’s nowhere I’d rather be right now than here in London. The lovely illustrated map shown above is by British artist, Alice Tait.
What 5 essentials from your wardrobe/home would you bring with you?
I’m stocking up on British classic designs for my summer in London. Confession: some of these essentials may be fantasy buys (well, I am saving on air fare):
- ‘Smile’ necklace from Tatty Devine
- Yellow wellies from Hunter (because it wouldn’t be a British summer without the odd rainy day)
- Floral dress from Mary Kantratzou
- Blue trench coat from Burberry London
- Spike ring from Dominic Jones
What item would you buy before the trip to take with you?
I should probably be updating my trusty old camera. But I think I’d rather splash out on these studded neon pumps by McQ Alexander McQueen. At least they’re flats so they’re practical, right?
The last quotable thing you heard or read, and why did it leave an impression?
Self-doubt comes easy to me so this print by Anthony Burrill made a big impression. I’ll be hanging this above my desk to remind myself to have a little faith in me.
What inspires you right now:
Words to live by:
The Beatles were on to something when they sang, “Love is all you need”. By sticking to the ‘Golden Rules’ shown above (by Print for Love of Wood) I reckon you’ll keep the one you love smiling, you’ll spread a little happiness and you may achieve something amazing too.

What a lovely blog – thank you for sharing!
It’s not the odd rainy day in summer here – it’s a lot of them!!!
Love that artistically made map of London above. If I would be given the chance to travel right now, I would definitely travel to Europe. Can you recommend any particular place there? Thanks for this awesome post.
