Lust List: Art Prints

Happy Tuesday!

Today I'm going to be talking through my current obsession: art prints.  From colourful illustrations to mantras in hand-lettered styles, I'm obsessed with these (relatively inexpensive) ways to brighten up a space. Pinterest has only fuelled this love, especially blogger Kate La Vie's gorgeous interior style giving me major home goals!
Keep reading to see my current top 5 favourite pieces.

1.  New York Autumn by Rifle Paper Co

I've been a fan of Rifle Paper Co for a while now, and this print depicts my favourite city in my favourite season - what's not to love?! They have a huge range of prints from other cities to floral designs and more.

2.  I Must Have Flowers, Always & Always by Jasmine Dowling

Jasmine is one of my absolute favourite typographers and I've been following her blog and work for a few years (she's also a super Snapchat queen). This Monet quote is just so fitting (I mean, who doesn't love fresh flowers?!) and the lettering is so dreamy. Check her shop and blog here!

3.  Half Dozen Conuts by Cat Coquillette

I found this illustrator on Instagram and was an instant fan - Cat's vibrant pieces are so eye-catching and super fun. I especially love her 'Treat Yo Self' print - I mean, Parks & Rec, anyone?!

4.  Happily Ever After by Katie Leamon
I was originally drawn to Katie Leamon for her stationery ranges and cards but fell in love with this A3 gold foiled print. Such a cute message!

5.  Wild at Heart by Congo Studio from Nouvelle Daily

This print is directly inspired by blogger Kate La Vie (as mentioned at the top of this post) as I'd seen it featured on her Instagram. I love the contrast of the black and white image with the bold type and gold foil.

I hope you enjoyed this post, especially if you're as obsessed with these gorgeous prints as I am! If you know of any other designers/stores that you'd recommend, let me know below or Tweet us - I'm always on the look-out for new designs to add to my wish-list!

Until Sunday,

GIFT-WRAPPING INSPIRATION

Happy December everyone!

We can't believe we're down to single-digits-until-Christmas already - where has the month gone?!

Today we thought we'd put together a little post about something we both LOVE, and that's gift-wrapping. Hopefully some of you share this obsession, or maybe you just need a little inspiration for wrapping your Christmas gifts this year.  If you follow us on Pinterest you'll know how much we love anything crafty, so read on to see how to simply make your gifts that extra bit special this year.

Brown Paper
 
 "Brown paper packages tied up with string" springs to mind here, but this style really is one of our favourite things! There's nothing simpler, but this idea can be customised to make it your own. We found all these images on Pinterest (where else!) and love the three different styles you could go with. If you're creative, go all out on decorating your presents! Take inspiration from the first image and cut shapes from patterned paper or add a cute tag (we love these from John Lewis, stamp spots on in white paint and follow with similar-coloured accessories, or stay on-trend and Christmassy with classic red and white ribbon, like this style from John Lewis.

Personalising

Personalising gifts doesn't have to be tricky or expensive and these three ideas from Pinterest show three different ideas that add a personal touch. We love the idea of using letter beads threaded on string - how cute! And with these beads coming in so cheap, it'll make you wonder why you didn't think of this before! Large letters look really fancy and are eye-catching. Choose a font you like and print your desired letter out onto card and use the outline as a stencil. This last idea is more detailed but looks so amazing. You can write on your recipient's address and some stamp-like illustrations. We love the addition of air-mail colours too.

Patterned Paper

Patterned wrapping paper is not only a cute way to show that you know your recipient's taste, but it's one of the simplest ways to wrap! As the paper is busy in itself, you don't need to worry about adding much to the present. Stick to a complimentary ribbon-colour or a matching gift-tag and you're set to go! These three are our favourites this year: Rifle Paper Co's super cute reindeer print is perfect for kids and kids-at-heart, Katie Leamon's marbled wrap is gorgeous for all year round (a personal favourite for us!) and if you have a friend or family member living in London, this Paperchase 'London lines' paper is brilliant, with tube stops replaced with festive titles like 'Santa Paul's' and 'Puddington'.

We hope this post has inspired you to be creative with your wrapping this year - where do you like to go for inspiration?

LATE SUMMER DREAMING:The Ultimate Stationery Post

If you haven't already guessed we LOVE stationery! From notebooks to planners and pens, we love it all and with a new academic year approaching, it's the perfect time to stock up on our stationary favourites!

S' Stationery Loves

 When it comes to stationery I love colour, in particular pastels. These Sharpies will make any shopping or daily list look pretty. The start of an academic year is for me the best time to start a new planner and diary and after K introduced me to the duck egg blue Anthropologie diary, it has sat on the top of my stationery wish list. The Kate Spade tackle box is a stationery's addict dream. From paper clips to pencil sharpeners, it has everything you need. Bees have become an obsession of mine as of late, I even have a bee phone case here so this busy bee note pad is a favourite of mine. During my time at University, desk planners have been my life saviour which means I couldn't not add in a desk planner. 

1.  Pens - Sharpie 

2.  Diary/Planner - Anthropologie

3.  Notebook - Sloane Stationery

4.  Tackle Box - Kate Spade

5.  Desk Planner - Abigail Warner

K's Stationery Loves
I'm the same as S when it comes to stationery, I love pastels and neutral tones! This yearly time planner from Kiki K is a recent one on my wishlist after finding them on Instagram - I'm obsessed! I'm a known list-queen and am always making daily 'notes-to-self', so this list notepad and weekly list planner are absolutely perfect for me. Washi tape is also a new obsession of mine - it's cute to decorate with and also super handy to stick things up whilst adding a little colour. As for my last three stationery loves, you can't go wrong with a classic Moleskine notebook or Stabilo pens! And this Kate Spade gold stapler is just too gorgeous not to include, right?!

1.  Planner - Kiki. K

2.  Notepad - Katie Leamon

3.  Weekly Desk Organiser - Rifle Paper Co.

4.  Notebook - Moleskine

5.  Stapler - Kate Spade

6.  Washi Tape - MT Tape at Nouvelle Daily

Hopefully this post makes you want to buy 10,000 notebooks. As you read this post we'll be buying everything from the list above!

See you Sunday!

SUMMER ACCESSORIES: OUR MUST HAVES

The start of a new season is a very exciting time for fashion lovers, with the new "this season" collection in full swing! Changing of seasons allows for the perfect opportunity to experiment with your style and freshen up your look. A start of a new season does not only mean new clothes: the stores are now filled with the latest accessories perfect for this time of year. Accessories are the perfect way to customise your outfit and can also be the main feature of it!
Today at Eleven Oh Seven we talk through our favourite accessories for the coming summer months.

S' Picks

1. This Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume is the perfect scent for summer. It's light and fresh with a long-lasting scent, and the packaging is a statement in itself: beautiful and delicate. This scent is perfect for any summers day.  

2. Z for Accessorize has become of of my favourite jewellery brands on the high street. Designed to be layered for a luxe aesthetic, Zara Simon's collection is this season's must have jewellery trend with it's dainty designs, discrete detail and stacking ideals. I already have my eye on her 2x wishbone stacked midi ring.

3. Pastel bags are perfect for the summer months and they're a great way to add colour to your style after the winter season. I am currently obsessing over this Topshop Boxy PU Tote. The cream colour could brighten up any outfit and the laser cut detail on the side of the bag adds an edge to the design. 

4. Nail colour is the perfect way to customise an outfit. This summer, Olivia Palermo has teamed up with Ciaté London to create this luxe collection. I love these colours as they are perfect for summer. With a mix of bright red, coral and a pinky nude perfect for a Summer wedding, this collection will definitely get your nails summer ready.

5. Heeled sandals and fringing are two of the most popular trends this summer and when I spotted these fringe high heeled sandals from Zara I couldn't help but have the urge to buy them there and then. Also in cream, this shoe would be perfect to add a statement to any outfit without being too overpowering.

6. As soon as summer hits, everyone becomes obsessed with sunglasses! This year I love the ShayxQuay collection (similar here). Her statement designs add a modern twist to the classic sunglasses design. I couldn't resist picking a pair up when they were released in the UK (check out our Instagram to see which ones I chose!)

K's Picks

 

 


1. This Zara perfume: Vanilla Wood is a firm favourite of mine, with hints of mandarin, peach, cocoa and praline as well as the obvious vanilla, this scent is lightly floral and fruity - perfect for summer days and evenings.

2. Birkenstocks seem to have the 'Marmite' effect: you either love them or hate them. Safe to say that I'm definitely in the former category, and with the majority of high street stores bringing out their own versions of this strap style sandle, you can wear them for a more affordable price. I love these original Birkenstocks from ASOS in white as they're a classic colour that will perfectly accompany your summer wardrobe.

3. Phone and tablet cases are a perfect way to dress up your tech and update their aesthetic throughout the year, giving that extra flash of colour and design to your overall look. I'm a huge fan of this Rifle Paper Co. case, as it's boldly floral and hand-designed.

4. As S said, nail colour is the perfect way to finish off an outfit, matching them to your accessories or a colour you're wearing. I personally love pastels for summer (as well as spring) as they always look great with a tan! These Topshop colours: Boy Next Door and Parma Violet are my current favourites, and being part of Topshop's limited edition '5 Years of Beauty' range, they come in this gorgeous rose gold packaging!

5. A summer styled hat is a definite essential for me this time of year. Not only do they aid with keeping the sun out of your eyes, but can pull a outfit together, especially when you're off to the beach! This braided Madeline hat from Free People is gorgeous with a wide brim and ribbon detail.

6. Ear cuffs are the perfect jewellery statement this season, ranging from dainty to bold and elaborate designs. Being a rose gold fan (if you couldn't already guess!), I love this cute leaf/vine inspired design ear cuff from Topshop. It's understated design will add that little bit of extra attention to your jewellery this summer.
