Daily Planet

Lois Lane



Why? Well Motel were running a competition on their facebook page - suffice to say I didn't win and probably should have done something more productive with my time. However I'm just so enamored with this outfit, I thought I would share it. This chambray dress has quickly worked it's way into my mental most wanted list, it's just such a lovely shape. And as for the Swedish Hasbeens, I really didn't think I liked them... Until I saw a green pair...If I could, I would own the entire outfit, but for now I think I'll just have to make do with a Polyvore collage!

Night Owl


"Night Owl is an ecclectic homewares company run by Jessica Rose Lennox. Upcycling reclaimed wood and vintage crockery with her hand drawn illustrations of British wildlife." 

Night Owl is the brainchild of Jessica Rose Lennox, who creates wonderful wildlife home ware with delicate hand drawn transfers. Jessica has very kindly donated one of her Barn Owl Mugs (above left) to our current giveaway. I was so flummoxed over which colour to choose ( I like them all, the black is classic, the brown owlish and the green is such a lovely shade) that instead she kindly said that the winner can choose whichever colour they like! (You can enter the giveaway here.)

I've been pining over her mugs and tea cups for some time, I can't help but feel a squirrel, (look at that face!) badger or owl mug would perfectly befit a cup of Earl Grey tea. Sadly I think I'm going to have to wait until I move. And have money. 

I would have loved to photograph a piece for the giveaway, but it made more sense for Jessica to post it directly. You can see a lovely little feature on Night Owl by Temporary Secretary here. Also, I'm not sure it's still running, but Jessica did have a rather exciting blog competition in which you could choose the vintage piece she would put her gorgeous hare design on to. Do go and check out her new website, Night Owl, when you have a chance.
