So, it’s been a while since I talked design, but I’ve recently become a little bit obsessed with the online shop Superbalist. It has the most beautiful, affordable, designer clothes, furniture, crockery and everything in between and I might have a little problem. I had to start a wishlist because of how many tabs I…

Art & Design Spotlight | Packaging
After typography my second favourite area of design – that I spend way too much time endless scrolling through Pinterest looking at – is packaging design. I cannot resist beautiful packaging – it dictates a lot of my shopping habits because if there are two brands of cool drink on a shelf that are similar…
DIY Henna Photo Frames
Hi Everyone! I thought that I would do something a little different today, and show you a DIY project that I have been wanting to do for quite a while! Like I said in my Homeware Haul post last week I’ve been reorganising and revamping areas of my bedroom and this was something that I…
The 100 Hue Colour Test
source I came across the 100 Hue Test when I was scrolling through my tumblr the other day, and I found it very interesting. Did you know that 1 out of every 255 women, and 1 in every 12 men have some kind of colour vision deficiency? 1 in every 255 doesn’t sound too many, but…
Introducing Some Changes
Hi Everyone! You might have already noticed this change, but I thought I’d tell you a little bit more about it. I’ve added some new headers! There are now four different variations that will rotate randomly. I decided that I needed to add some new pictures, firstly for a little change of scenery and secondly…
Typography | Art & Design Spotlight
I can’t believe how far into January we are already! I start university on the 2nd of February and that day seems to be getting closer scarily fast. source Something else I want to make into a more regular feature on TGWHW is to spotlight aspects of art and design, as well as to showcase…
Berlin Sights | The Street Art
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m kind of a little bit of obsessed with street art and graffiti. I did two huge posts on the street art in Shoreditch and that only fuelled my obession. When I was last in Europe, two years ago, I…
Shoreditch Street Art Tour | Platform 39 | Part Two
27 September Part two! – These works are mainly the ones that I saw that weren’t talked about on the tour, so I don’t have much backstory for these guys – just some opinions, and some beautiful art. In case you didn’t see it, this tour is explained in my previous post which you find…
Shoreditch Street Art Tour | Platform 39 | Part One
27 September Oh, look, another story spread over multiple posts, what a surprise. But seriously, this time I really tried to cut down the amount of photos, and this really is barely a quarter of the photos that I actually took. So be appreciative. Anyway, I went to a Street Art walking tour/course in Shoreditch…
London Design Festival 2014 | 100% Design
20th September Finishing up the London Design Festival I went to 100% Design at Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre. This was another case of trying to go somewhere where I could see loads of things at the same time. I read about 100% Design in the LDF guide and thought that it would probably be good to…
London Design Festival 2014 | Trafalgar Square
19th Spetember “A Place Called Home” in Trafalgar Square, by Jasper Morrison, PATTERNITY, Studioilse and Raw Edges. Sponsored by Airbnb, four houses were created in Trafalgar Square, each artist or group having been asked to visualise a piece that they felt conveyed ‘home’. It was so interesting to see the different concepts that were put…
London Design Festival 2014 | V&A
19th September Guess who forgot about the London Design Festival until 3 days before it finished? After I got back from France and spent an entire day blogging, I realised that I had missed almost all of the London Design Festival, which kind of sucked. I went up on the Friday and Saturday, but the…
Graffiti and Street Art
I love Graffiti, and street art and grime and cities. For some reason if I’m out walking my eyes are drawn to the spiders web in a window, or the rust on a lamp post. London is chock-a-block with street art and stickers and graffiti. These a few of my favourite ones that I have…
