There a quite a few photo a day challenges but the most well known to me is <a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/" target="_blank">Fat Mum Slim's</a>. I decided to give it a whirl this month and so far do good. It's a fun and easy way to take photos with a creative edge, it also forces you to pay attention to the world which is never a bad thing!<br />
<br />
I didn't do the first one as I was a late starter but the pics above are my first four photos of the challenge. You can check out my offerings on instagram @lucymelonclarke.<br />

As we said in the previous post we were lucky enough to be invited down
this month's Designers/Makers market at Old Spitalfields, we had a
lovely time looking at all the stalls and purchasing a few things, I think it will be a regular market trip for both of us. <br />

Beautiful antique and re-claimed chairs with seats woven in leather, satin ribbon and glow lace from <a href="http://www.rsupholstery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Caned</a>. I fell head over heels in love with the antique cruise liner recliner pictured above. Also the back story of why Rachael does chair caning and rush seating is lovely. </div>

Deborah does excellent sets of temporary tattoos as well which we both very nearly took home. There are also excellent card sets which are much lovelier than anything you can find at high street card shops.

Nicci purchased an excellent <a href="http://scouteditions.co.uk/collections/limited-editions/products/copy-of-bowie" target="_blank">David Bowie print</a> from <a href="http://scouteditions.co.uk/" target="_blank">Scout Editions</a>. They had such a good selection of different prints, I was undecided about this beautiful <a href="http://scouteditions.co.uk/collections/young-editions/products/arctic-love" target="_blank">polar bear print</a> but I held back but it still in the back of my mind!<br />

I had a little moment about<a href="http://iamacrylic.co.uk/iamacrylic.htm" target="_blank"> I Am Acrylic</a> being at the market, I already have one of the bird rings (pictured above) from when I went to Bestival a few years ago and it was lovely to see the stall again! Nicci was a little confused about how it was made but the handy guide they have on the table helped her out!<br />

We are definitely jewellery fans at Fancy Full and we are both into rings in a big way, <a href="http://www.danakidson.com/" target="_blank">Dana Kidson</a> had such a beautiful selection of rings and other jewellery, everything was beautifully crafted and generally lust inducing.<br />

I spied this life affirming print at <a href="http://www.lovelyjojos.com/" target="_blank">Lovely Jojo's</a> and it made me chuckle.....it might be the perfect print for a bathroom!?<br />

Nicci and I were lucky enough to be invited to a blogger brunch as part of the <a href="http://designersmakers.com/" target="_blank">Designers/Makers</a> fair held monthly at Old Spitalfields Market. We met Sophie and Hollye from designers/makers, Sara from <a href="http://www.kanpaikanpai.com/" target="_blank">Kanpai</a> (beautiful photography) and Cheylene from <a href="http://girlinlondon.com/" target="_blank">Girl in London</a> (excellent London guide). We started off with some lovely crepes and blogger conversations at <a href="http://www.crepeaffaire.com/" target="_blank">Crepe Affaire</a>. If you are stuck for somewhere to have a tasty meal, I can heartily recommend Crepe Affaire, Nicci and I sampled the savoury crepes and boy were they delicious, I think a new favourite brunch spot has been born! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was lovely to chat with fellow bloggers as even though we do Fancy Full as a duo, it's sometimes a little lonely as it's normally just us and a computer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chatting with Sophie the founder of Designers/Makers about how she has set up the agency and market was incredibly interesting and is definitely inspiring us to get going with the fledgling Fancy Full Vintage!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Keep your eyes peeled for a post on the market, which will be coming up very, very soon!</div>

Hall & Oates, basically any song of theirs, but today specifically it's "I Can't Go For That (No can do)". I've been in a bit of a funk this week, we're in the process of moving house and it's all a bit stressful and unsettling, we've had a few issues sorting out contracts etc and it's led to me being a bit of a pain to live with.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I rediscovered the awesomeness of Hall & Oates and you just can't help but want to boogie on down when you hear them. I also can't stop thinking about that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErkH4K39UrI" target="_blank">Mighty Boosh scene</a> when I hear this song, which also puts a smile on my face. It's a pretty fitting song for a Friday afternoon and should see you through the rest of the working day with a little spring in your step ready for the weekend!<br />
<br />
Happy Friday!<br />
<br />

This month me and my mum decided to do something new and have a go at the<a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/october-photo-a-day-challenge-see-the-list-get-the-prompts-get-excited-all-that/" target="_blank"> fat mum slim photo a day challenge</a>. You get a list of things to photograph (above) but the specifics are up to you. It's been really interesting to see the different ways me and my mum have interpreted the cues, as well as everyone else taking part. It's also been really nice doing this with my mum as we live so far apart it's a fun way to find out a little bit about each other's day which we wouldn't necessarily have shared otherwise. Here are my photos so far...<br />

This time last week saw Fancy Full’s debut into the world of vintage markets! Bright and early (ish), with all our clothes pressed and steamed ready to sell, we packed up a surprising amount of stock and headed on down to Wonderhill Market. The market is set in the Tooting Tram and Social bar, which is a beautiful unique building, it’s also a regular night time haunt of ours and it’s always a little strange being there in the day. We met a few ladies who had been out there the night before and were feeling pretty disorientated which we totally sympathised with!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

It took us quite a bit longer to set up than expected, being the perfectionists that we are, people were already coming through the doors while we were putting out our last few items. But we were so pleased with the end results and incredibly proud of our little shop. It was a lot of fun, especially when gin and cake o’clock rolled round at 3pm! Here are a few photos from the day...</div>

We learnt so much and met some really lovely crafters andvintage sellers.We’re already super keen to plan our next Fancy Full outing so watch this space for details! All the money we made is going right back into buying more stock, so expect to see some photos of all those goodies popping up soon. We’re also in the process of planning an online shop where you can buy the clothes you see in our blog posts and also the other things we’re selling at markets. Exciting times!</div>

I had completely forgotten about the existence of this song until yesterday and since then it has been on repeat in my head. Plus how epic are the moves (and the hair!) in this video!!

This Saturday we are taking part in <a href="http://www.wonderhillmarket.co.uk/" target="_blank">Wonder Hill Market</a> at <a href="https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=Tooting+Tram+and+Social&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=tooting+tram+and+social&cid=0,0,5745177618178818833&ei=mspCUuG3OomN0AWFmICwDg&ved=0CLkBEPwSMA4" target="_blank">Tooting Tram and Social</a> and we are really looking forward to sharing all our vintage finds!<br />
<br />
Above is a really quick sneak peek of some of the vintage clothes we'll be stocking on Saturday.<br />
<br />
The peach lace jacket is an absolute gem and is a bargain £15.<br />
The 80's harlequin jumper is perfect for the imepnding cold weather and is £18<br />
<br />
We have many many more vintage gems to be snapped up, along with original, handmade textile accessories from <a href="http://www.andapanda.net/en/" target="_blank">Andapanda</a> and handmade fused glass jewellery and folded origami cards from <a href="http://folksy.com/shops/Summerhouse" target="_blank">Summerhouse</a>.Fancy Fullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14250182758575642910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106274064413093356.post-68226494230290617432013-09-19T10:20:00.000+01:002013-09-19T10:20:52.295+01:00Object of Lust // Zara Boots<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Boots are my shoe obsession. I owe a good amount of boots and yet I still want/need more!<br />
<br />
These <a href="http://www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/shoes/ankle-boots/cut-out-combination-leather-ankle-boot-c288001p1295821.html" target="_blank">two-tone beauties</a> from Zara are my current object of lust, admittely I have a very similar pair from Topshop in dark blue velvet which are the exact same shape. My thinking is that velvet is not as durable as leather so I could buy these boots to save the velvet ones from being worn in the ground? right!?<br />

We (Freya, Nicci and I) spent Sunday morning planning for our American road trip we have scheduled for next year. We are so excited! The map above is the route we decided on complete with drawings!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plan is to fly into Nashville spend a little bit of time there, then we are heading east to Dollywood (!) and we start our drive south west to Texas. We are giving ourselves just over ten days and we will be taking about 3 days over the big portion of the drive, we plan on camping, hiring a car and being American road trip cliches! The last part of our trip will be spent in Marfa, Texas and we will be staying at El Cosmico and exploring the desert. The final stop will be Austin and then we'll fly home back to reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some of the beautiful things we will hopefully encounter on our trip.......</div>

I recently went to Barcelona to visit my sister for her birthday. She has lived there for about 9 years now and I usually visit at least once a year, it's such an amazing city. I only went for a long weekend and as I've mostly done all the touristy things now we spent most of our time on the beach! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Our favourite thing to do is to take the train up the coast to St Pol de Mar and visit the amazing restaurant right on the beach front and eat so much Paella and drink Sangria, heaven! It's only about 45 minutes from the city but it feels like another world, so relaxing with incredibly clear seas. You can walk along the coast from St Pol to the nearby town of Caella which takes you along the cliff tops and the views are just beautiful. There are also a few naturist beaches along they way if that floats your boat!</div>

On the actual day of my sisters birthday we headed to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_de_la_Ciutadella" target="_blank">Parc de la Ciutadella</a> in the centre of Barcelona and set up bunting and balloons for a birthday picnic. Everyone who came brought something to eat and there were musicians and lots of babies running around and the whole thing was so relaxed and lovely. The whole atmosphere in Barcelona is so different to London and it's so refreshing, everyone is so much more laid back. I'm sure if I lived there I would never get anything done!<br />

I spent a glorious Saturday at Lady Boo's Summer Sizzler with my lovely friend Sophie Rose. Lady Boo is a wonderful vintage lover and buyer who has a shop in her attic, I urge you to like on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boo-to-a-Goose/121276111230693" target="_blank"> facebook</a> and, if you can, take a trip to the wardrobe of joy! Saturday was the turn for an open house to celebrate the end of summer, pimms was drunk, cake eaten and lots of vintage togs were tried on! I made a killing in the £10 bargain bin and purchased a blue patterned dress, a red dress/jacket and a rather amazing hat which I have on in the last photograph. </div>

Last week I decided to take a little holiday at home and spend some time exploring London. It's funny but even having lived here for over two years now I still don't feel like I know it, and I haven't been to even half of the tourist attractions. I would usually avoid the real honey traps on a regular day and do the typical Londoner muttering complaints under my breath. But this week I merrily mooched about with my map and camera just like the rest of the tourists, and I loved it!!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my snaps...<br />

Central St Martin's looking like Ziggy Stardust next to Regents Canal...<br />

I tend not to toot on too much about it on here but today I am super excited to finally be able to share this video with you all.
<br />
<br />
It was shot a few weeks ago in our teeny tiny rehearsal room in North London and it is ever so slightly sea sickness inducing but excellent all at the same time. I'm so pleased with how it turned out, massive thanks to all involved!! Please take a look and I'd love to know your thoughts, and if you like it please pass it on.

Currently I am massively lusting after a pair of <a href="http://www.office.co.uk/brand/minnetonka" target="_blank">Minnetonka</a> boots. I keep conjuring up outfits in my mind with a pair on my feet! I may need to turn this obsession into a reality and purchase a pair.<br />
<br />
Are there any must have items you are currently lusting over?<br />

A little disturbingly, it's 15 years since this awesome album was released in 1998. I adored this album when it came out, I was a little obsessed with Lauryn Hill in my youth (blame Sister Act 2 and Killing Me Softly by the Fugees) and this album just stoked that obsession some more! The songs have remained timeless and still feel relevant today. It really has become a classic album for me and whenever I listen to it I still want to dance around my bedroom much like my 11 year old self.<br />
<br />
Give your ears a treat today....<br />

The recipe for these "Moonblush tomatoes" is a <a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/moonblush-tomatoes-58" target="_blank">Nigella Lawson one available here</a>. Basically you just cut up and arrange cherry tomatoes as above. Pre-heat your oven to the hottest it will go. Sprinkle tomatoes with a little sea salt, sugar, dried thyme and olive oil. Pop them in to the oven and immediately turn the oven off. Then leave them overnight or all day and don't be tempted to peek! So simple!<br />
<br />
I actually ended up doubling the cooking as mine didn't seem to dry out very well after one day in the oven, they were quite big cherry tomatoes. So I did them overnight as well and was so excited to wake up and eat them on toast that I forgot to take any pretty pictures. However I did manage to photograph them being added to our very basic evening meal of pasta and homemade walnut pesto. They really added an incredible intense flavour which made the whole dish seem a bit more special than it was. I'm already planning to make another batch tonight and am dreaming up all sorts of ways to use them.<br />

This Saturday I spent a lovely day in Harrogate whilst visiting my
lovely family in Leeds. My mum and I paid a very relaxing visit to the
Harrogate Turkish Baths which were absolutely beautiful inside and were
absolute treat to experience. There was a routine to doing them
properly, first we went in the steam room, then it was a quick dip in
the plunge pool, then we made our way through three heated rooms which
steadily increased in temperature up to 70 degrees, we just repeated
this circuit until our time was up. It was absolutely lovely.<br />
<br />
Next stop, which is an absolute must for anyone visiting Harrogate, was
lunch in Bettys. I can't really do Bettys justice in words, they are
simply the best tea rooms ever.<br />

Afterwards we happened upon a vintage shop called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Space-Vintage-Retro/200349886671596?id=200349886671596&sk=info" target="_blank">Space Vintage & Retro</a>. They had an excellent selection of clothes, homewares and best of all a great selection of vinyls. There was some beautiful vintage dresses particularly from the 50's and some great pieces of homewares, such as lamps and cushions and I fell in love with a magazine rack but had to leave it behind as I was getting the train back (boohoo!). If you're in the neighbourhood they are well worth the visit.<br />

I scored a silver lurex crop top, Iggy Pop, Neneh Cherry, Rod Stewart and Kate Bush vinyls. A good haul all round. The north does know how to do a good vintage shop. <br />

For those of you who don't know, which won't be many as I bemoan this to just about anyone I meet, I live in the teeniest of little studio flats with my boyfriend. Sadly unlike Lucy I do not have the luxury of a dressing room or even a wardrobe of my own (I share mine with Ed, so hard!!). So anything which is space saving is a dream come true for me.<br />
<br />
Since moving to London I've really missed having a garden and being able to grow things. I've been successfully keeping alive a basil plant from Tesco for a few months now and it got me feeling confident and wanting more. We really lack surface spaces where plants can sit and I find they tended to look a bit messy, so I hunted around on Pinterest for hanging planters and <a href="http://eliseblaha.typepad.com/golden/2012/04/material-4-of-27-rope-into-potted-plant-hangers.html" target="_blank">found this little tutorial</a>. I won't rehash it here as I couldn't explain it half as well, but basically I followed it and was pretty pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
I just used some cheap string I found in <a href="http://www.tigerstores.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tiger</a>, the tutorial recommends using a thin rope but that just seemed a bit pricey for me and I had this string hanging around doing nothing. I used <a href="http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=935884" target="_blank">these sticky hooks</a> on the ceiling so I didn't need to put a hole in the ceiling (we're renting and I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon). Just make sure you check the weight of your plant and how much the hooks will hold, I used two hooks for each plant just to be safe.<br />
<br />
I even started to get confident and come up with my own variations on the original tutorial, it really is very very easy to do Macrame!! If you can tie a knot you're going to be just fine. One top tip I did work out is that it is a lot easier to do if you have some way of anchoring your strings together so you can keep your tension even, like when you used to make friendship bracelets and asked your friend to hold the ends for you. I worked out that a bulldog clip attached to my duvet worked pretty well for me and meant I could lie around in bed whilst making these, win!<br />
<br />
I have now added a mint plant and a pretty succulent with pink flowers to the collection and am feeling very happy!<br />

I discovered <a href="http://www.greenkitchenstories.com/" target="_blank">Green Kitchen Stories</a> this week, it is full of amazing vegetarian recipes and stunning photography, all very inspiring. I don't class myself as a veggie but I don't really cook with meat very regularly so this blog is right up my street.<br />
<br />
I decided to rustle up their <a href="http://www.greenkitchenstories.com/grilled-beet-burgers/" target="_blank">Grilled Beet Burgers</a> for dinner, they did not disappoint and were pretty easy to make. Mine fell apart a little when grilled but I reckon next time I could make them stick!<br />
<br />
<u>Beetroot & Feta Burger</u><br />
Makes 6-8 burgers, depending on the size<br />
<br />
3 cups / 750 ml grated raw beetroots (approx. 4-5 beets)<br />
1,5 cups / 375 ml / 150 g rolled oats or flakes of your choice<br />
1 small onion<br />
7 oz / 200 g sheep’s feta cheese or firm tofu<br />
2 cloves garlic<br />
2 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil<br />
2 organic eggs <br />
1 handful fresh basil<br />
Salt/pepper<br />
<br />
Toppings:<br />
lettuce or cabbage<br />
mango <br />
avocado<br />
tomatoes<br />
onions<br />
<div>
<br />
Peel and grate beets, onion and garlic on a box grater or use a food processor with the grating blades attached. Place the grated vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, eggs and rolled oats and mix everything well. Add sheep’s cheese or tofu, basil, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Set aside for about 30 minutes, so the oats can soak up the liquid and the mixture sets (this step is important for the patties to hold together). Try shaping a patty with your hands. If the mixture is to loose, add some more oats. Form 6-8 patties with your hands. Grill the beetroot burgers a couple of minutes on each side – or fry them in a frying pan by heating a knob of coconut oil or ghee and fry until golden on both sides. Serve with grilled sourdough bread and toppings of your choice.<br />
<br />
I have since discovered that you can buy Green Kitchen Stores book and app, I'm about to become a fully paid up member of their gang.<br />

This little mix tape is full of songs I've been obsessed with the last week or so and have been on repeat pretty much all the time. I think it's pretty suited to this mixed up weather we're having at the moment, a little bit hot a little bit cold, a little bit old a little bit new. Enjoy!<br />

Last weekend two of my favourite people got married!! Massive congratulations to the lovely Ben and Laura Cropley! (I'm still slightly disappointed they didn't go for the amalgamated version "Heathercrop" but I'll get over it...) They had a beautiful Mexican inspired wedding with loads of handmade touches. Here are a few snaps of the happy couple...<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">This is the first wedding I have attended of friends rather than family, and it was so much fun! They had a beautiful ceremony at the Guild Hall in Leicester, followed by a mexican knees up at the Crumblin Cookie just around the corner. They even managed to bag a mariachi band, beyond awesome!</span></div>

Laura did all the decorating herself, with some help from friends and family, and the place just looked so beautiful. I've been following<a href="http://pinterest.com/lauramakes/wedding-ideas/" target="_blank"> her Pinterest boards</a> so had seen all the amazing inspirations she had pinned and she really translated all of that into the venue.</div>

So many little personal touches really made the day special and carried the Mexican theme right the way through. The little maracas on the tables and huge sombreros were a personal favourite, and definitely encouraged ridiculous dancing to the Mariachi band, which is all you want from a wedding in my opinion!!</div>

Huge thank you to Ben and Laura for inviting us to share your special day and wishing you a lifetime of happy days to come.<br />
