It's been nearly three months... three months TOO long! I've got around to relaunching, and doing a new blog layout, what do you think? I got a bit bored of the plain black and white before. I hope you've all been well, and i'm sorry that this post is really quite boring & random - just a general update on bits! Whilst I've been gone, I've finished college which was a relief, and I've had a lot more time to spend on things that I love doing. I've been planning on doing it for a while, but... I finally had time to spend on building a little business! It's called 'Everything Stops For Tea', which sells all of the vintage clothes I've reworked. I've had really great feedback from it so far, so it's all quite exciting! About half of the things below have unfortunately sold out (so many things which I wanted to keep for myself), but just a little taster of whats in store at the moment...
So in love with the pink denim dip dye shorts. You can access the shop by going to....And keep upto date with all products in the process of being made on INSTAGRAM: RUTHHOWSAM And also... for all you lovely blog readers.. if you enter the unique code below, you can get 15% off all orders over £25!'XRUTHLOVES15'Just a quick mini post, but this is it now... regular posts back in action! It's lovely to be back.

Sorry for the very random post, but I've got a feeling some of you arty people may like this! I'm not sure if you anybody has heard of voucher sharing website Groupon (you should definitely subscribe to them, you get cool deals from businesses in your area, like hairdressing, beauty treatments etc). I've ordered one for a spray tan before but never actually used it because I chickened out, but I saw this one for these amazing wall stickers. They're from Moskys, and it cost me £9 (as I got the voucher), but full price is £23.99. When it arrived, it came in about 50 pieces, and I was terrified about how to put it together... but I was really pleased with the results! 
It's quite cool because you can completely arrange it how you'd like, but I tried to copy the picture online as closely as I could. I also nicely got this shelf from IKEA for Christmas, fits perfectly in with the design. And with them being stickers, you can take it off whenever you feel like it, and it leaves your wall completely clean (I rearranged mine quite a few times haha)!Just a little idea for anyone wanting a change of room for 2012! x
Labels: PersonalHello! I've not posted in quite a while, my bad. I've been quite busy - most of you probably aren't bothered why haha, but, heres just a little catch-up before I get back into posting so your not all confused when I mention the odd thing aha!- I've just been at college really - I had my English Language Exam which I had to revise quite badly for - not too sure how I did on that..- I'm going to New York in February! So excited! I'm going for a week with college, and we'll be there over valentines day. So cute!- I'm not with my boyfriend anymore- I died my fringe an orangey colour! A bit different.. still can't decide if I like it or not. Some days it looks good, some days it looks terrible. You can kinda see if on the pictures below.- I did a new layout - I think it looks so much nicer than before, what do you think? I drew the top part as part of my art coursework for this year but decided it would look quite nice up there :) - I saved up and finally got my new camera! I bought a Nikon D7000, but still don't know how to use it properly. #thingstodothissummer- I'm going to Leeds Festival in August, so excited!- I bought tickets to see Britney Spears in November (I'm so sad it's unreal, i'm obsessed)
Now we've got all of the boring stuff out of the way, I'll post again asap.Love, Ruth xo
