Superior Lace

Lace is pretty enough as it is, but add in a sprinkle of autumnal colours, and you get some pretty badass superior lace. I've had this lace vest a couple of months now, and I can't believe it's taken me so long to get it on the blog. It was the perfect layering piece this past autumn. Whilst I fell for the colours/pattern instantly, it took me a little longer to grow to love the flared peplum....but I can now see it's appeal, as it adds a certain folky charm.

HoH Birthday Highlights

Today marks House of Harps' 1st Birthday. I can't quite believe I stuck to blogging for a whole year, but here I am talking about it so it must be true. Over the past 12 months, my blogging quantity may have waned, but hopefully the quality is still there. In celebration, I have decided to post my favourite outfits from the past year. This is an exceptionally long post, but was nonetheless fun to compile! These aren't in order of favour, but are chronological, starting with the oldest...

Phew! Finally, a couple of weeks ago Lauren Schoon kindly gifted me with a Kreativ Blogger award, so now I am required to state 7 things about myself that you may not know/not want to know. This is embarrassing but here goes...

1. My name is Jessica-Rose.

2. I started the blog because I fell ill last year and needed a distraction, something fun to do. I'm a lot better now but still recovering.

3. I don't like odd numbers, I love symmetry.

4. I have a degree in human geography from Durham University.

5. I love cats, and live for the day I will finally own one.

6. Shoes are my weakness, but I spend way more on 'expensive' bags, probably because they are easier to look after and always fit you.

7. Coconut is the best flavour anything- yoghurt/ice-cream/milkshake/cake etc
