Kate Carter advocates a tiny something to brighten up apiece day of the week. Check back apiece day for the next suggestion
Friday
Pumps, £60, by Beyond Skin at Asos.com We finish the week with a wonderful pair of shoes from the mythologic Beyond Skin. All their shoes are vegan (stamped on the sole with “genuinely not leather”) and these Asos exclusives are actually made from recycled bottle tops. Love the style, love the colour, love the ethics. Thursday
Sponge, £3 from urbanoutfitters.co.uk Nostalgia alert! Is there is anyone who wouldn’t cherish a PacMan sponge? A PacMan sponge! The memory of this iconic 1980′s pac-dot eating, ghost-fleeing character fills us with both joy and nostalgia. Washing is no longer a game over. Wednesday
Dress kit, £22, by Clothkits/ Oxfam Iconic brand Clothkits have teamed up with Oxfam to produce this lovely tiny dress kit for tiny girls. As with all their designs, everything you need is contained in the set, so you don’t need to purchase anything extra, not even thread. The artifact is Fairtrade and 10% of the proceeds go to Oxfam. Tuesday
Tea light holder, £2.75, by spottybutton.co.uk A lovely tiny tea light holder for the garden at a very reasonable price. Makes me think longingly of warm summer evenings and dining al fresco. We’ve got some sunshine, now can we get the temperature up a bit please? Monday
Aztec bag, £20, by Topshop A very nice tiny cross-body bag to begin the week. I’m not entirely sure what is “Aztec” about the pattern, but never mind, fashion isn’t generally the place to go for historically accurate representations. Though I for one would like to see a pattern made of Aztec symbols. An entire civilisation reduced to the print on my accessories. What would Montezuma make of it all? Go here to read the rest:
