  • Blog Of The Month | Paper Love Story

    Gosh it’s been so long since I’ve done one of these! January’s blog of the month feel rather appropriate with new starts and getting organised…

    10 Paper Love Story
    Run by…med-student and resident Londoner Angela
    In 3…epic organisation, time management tips & sweet stationery
    Why I keep going back…I discovered Paper Love Story thanks to my friend Skye’s Filofax round up posts and honestly haven’t looked back. Five minutes on Angela of Paper Love Story’s blog and you’ll want to high-tail it to the nearest Paperchase and buy all the things! Not only does she provide great stationery reviews and organisational tips, but her Filofax week posts could be considered stunning works of scrapbooking art – especially in comparison with my messy scrawls in my own planner!
    Favourite post…‘re-organising my planner so that it is functional!’ – has come in handy as I’ve started using my Filofax this year.

  • Blog Of The Month | Blogger’s Bookshelf

    9 Bloggers Bookshelf
    Ok, ok. Kinda sorta biased BOTM this month and a bit of a different format for the occasion! A year ago this past Saturday, I posted my weekly round up post here, mentioning my interest in maybe starting up a book blog (Notice the little comment from an kind of awesome person called Erin ;P).
    One year later, and Erin and I have just help celebrate the blog’s first birthday! It’s been an insane year of writing, organisation and a millions emails (check out some of our blog stats in this Infographic I made up!) but it’s been totally worth it. 
    I only need to look at our review A-Z and feel all the things, including pride, at how dedicated and talented our regular reviewers are, and how much our readers have loved contributing and commenting too. As someone who’s always played along the peripheries of fandoms and communities, it’s kinda strange to be so heavily involved in the Internet book bloggers circle now – so much so that it’s creeped into so many posts here on Wishing For Chanel too!
    So I raise my glass to Blogger’s Bookshelf! And dedicate huge and much needed thank you to the ever amazing Erin for being such a fantastic co-captain (believe me this blog would be nothing with her drive to make it work!), the fabulous blogging team, and of course the readers :) 
    Here’s to another year ;)
    ps. We have a pretty epic giveaway a-happening on the blog to celebrate! You can win a copy of Earth Star by Janet Edwards and Fearsome Dreamer by Laure Eve. And to top it off, Fearsome Dreamer is SIGNED By Laure herself (she lovely enough to sign two things for me at LeakyCon ;D). SO be sure to enter! Just click here to check out the post and good luck!

  • Blog Of The Month | Diamond Canopy

    8 Diamond Canopy
    September is over and out! Time for a new Blog of the Month and this month I’ve chosen the wonderful Winnie from Diamond Canopy…

    In 3…Kaleidoscopic style, totally kawaii and food-lovers heaven.
    Blog Style…an exciting fusion of bright and bold style inspiration and a love of the Far East.
    Why I keep going back…Winnie is a blogging veteran, with 5 years worth of experience under her stylish belt. Not only are her outfit posts great for finding ways to infusing colour and quirk into an everyday wardrobe, and her accessories collection is to die for! A word of warning, don’t read if you haven’t eaten…her food post will definitely leave you drooling and your stomach rumbling. All jokes aside, Diamond Canopy is a fabulous read with fabulous and striking photography, especially in her travel posts. Plus she has one of the best Instagram feeds I’ve seen in a long time, check it out!
