Pick 5: Favourites from The Red Door Gallery, Edinburgh

What a lucky girl I am to have my work for sale in one of the coolest galleries in the UK? The Red Door Gallery supports the work of independent and emerging designers and are dedicated to presenting original, inspirational and affordable artwork. If you're in the Edinburgh area for the festival this month, be sure to check out Mengsel's limited edition silkscreen prints at The Red Door Gallery. I always have a look at the online shop to see what's new, so here are a few of my favourite things at the moment. Hope everybody's having a fantastic Sunday!

Pick 5: Anthropologie

I'm a bit of an Anthropologie obsessive and can spend hours just wandering around. There are very few items in this shop that I DON'T like, which is quite rare. Here's my 5 favourite picks from Anthropologie at the moment.

Two-Wheeler Shirtdress

Experimental Vases (I actually bought one of these for myself)

On The Wedge Espadrilles

Bird-On-A-Wire Dinner Plate

Clothbound Penguin Classics, Pride and Prejudice

Take 5 - The Skulls

It's not that I'm in a gloomy mood after a wonderful relaxing bank holiday weekend (and we're not even nowhere near Halloween), but there can be a real charm and beauty to skulls. Forget the traditional "Day of the Dead" associations and embrace the new colourful trend.
