April showers may bring May flowers, but it doesn’t mean you have to let the dreary weather get you down. Embrace the few hours of sunshine we get a week and dress sunshiny as soon as those clocks go forward…that’s my philosophy anyway. Here’s some pretty things that would perk up any old winter wardrobe.

1. Vintage Glass Flowers Brass Earrings ($44) from Balanced on Etsy

2. Vintage 1960s Bright Yellow Handbag ($24) from Anna Carina Vintage on Etsy

3. Hot Pink Paper Suitcases ($11.50-$15) from Pink Loves Brown

4. The Brightside Dress ($59.99) from Modcloth

5. Vintage Mustard Yellow Phone ($35) from adVintagous on Etsy

6. Octopus Wrapping Paper ($7.95) from Paper Source

7. Ditsy Print & Polka Dot Trilby (£17) from Accessorize

I had a banner day at Enable Ireland yesterday. Along with the aforementioned embroidered top, I also got a cute striped cropped sweater (will debut next week) and this perfect little paper suit case! Not bad for a quick trip during my lunch break?

It is in perfect condition and was an unreal price of €1.50. I can’t begin to describe how excited I was to find this. I love little paper suitcases and already have two from the Paper Source that just happen to stack up perfectly.

See! The red one holds all my stationary for my correspondences, the blue one holds all my shades and I’ll have to find something lovely to keep in my new suitcase. Here’s some detailing of the vintage children’s illustrations. The bears are playing badminton and the clown has a whip! Crazy.

PS: You can get paper suitcases too from Pink Loves Brown the shop of one of my favourite interiors blogs Making It Lovely.
