LITTLE SURPRISES AROUND EVERY CORNER…
It all began just before Christmas… I was on the hunt for a cute little somethin-somethin to take with me to the US for my nieces and nephew. You see, I’ve learned I must come prepared with little gifts to give them at the airport because how sad would it be to have to say ‘no’ when they eagerly ask, ‘did you bring me something?!’ And, while chocolate always work well – toys work better.
“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.”
The wise words of Willy Wonka rung in my ears as I explored Einzigart. Upon entering I knew I had hit the mother of all jackpots. You’re immediately greeted by a wall lined with tubs, each filled with old-fashioned wind up toys. Enter further and you’ll find shelves of little toys – slinkies, robots, and rockets abound. It’s like stepping into the toyshop of your childhood dreams. That is, if your kid-self knew what sort of toys were good for them. No plastic crap here but you will find temporary monster tattoos that instantly transform your hand into a puppet. They’re cool for adults too.
Don’t let me misrepresent the place though because it’s full of pretty awesome design-led knick knacks for grown ups too. Hello! Did you spot the Jil Sander lookalike paper lunch bag? Third photo from the bottom on the right, incase you missed it. Plus, there are tons of fancy light fixtures, candles, chairs and stationary. Oh, they even have erasers shaped like all your favorite animals. What’s not to love? The icing on the cake: the prices are totally reasonable. Trust me, in Switzerland that’s saying a lot.
p.s. Not sure what it is about Zurich but have been finding interior design shops way more interesting than the fashion ones.
eBay Blogger Event
Last Thursday I came out to London to help celebrate the launch of the eBay Fashion Outlet’s first Winter Wardrobe Collection. Held in a ginormous suite at the W hotel, bloggers were invited and welcomed into the new wonderful world of eBay. The incredibly pristine room spiraled into mayhem after everyone was given the challenge of styling a cover look that represented the eBay customer. The winner, Lexxie, won a new Canon dslr camera (sweet – certainly the ideal prize).
Thanks so much to everyone that attended the event. When I arrived and saw the printed version of the look book it was totally surreal. The relationship between bloggers and brands seems to operate quite differently depending on which country you’re in and I think it’s great that companies like eBay are reaching out to bloggers in the UK. This is a project I’m so proud to have been a part of.
Massive thank you again to eBay for having had me on board.
Alien
Pushing my toes up against the heater inside my flat and watching the rain come down over an unnaturally quiet city… thinking back to a couple of weeks ago and what now feels like an untrue dream. One part of me would like to spend each day in the sunshine wearing impossibly gorgeous dresses while the other is happy here at home curled up under a blanket.
Wherever you and and whatever you’re doing, hope you’re having a great weekend.

Desperate for a jumper just like this: cream, baubles and cable knit - oh my.
