Now, to us, every Saturday calls for a bit of shopping porn. Yep, that’s right. Shopping PORN. There’s simply no other way to say it and no elegant way to put it.
(Sorry - we better not get too many spammers now)
Whether that involves us lusting after beautiful handbags, gazing in wonder at shoes way, way out of our budget, or surfing for pretty homeware, we pretty much just love to shop! It is how we like to kickstart our weekend.
Anyway, as part of our addiction (I’m not even sure the word addiction quite covers it), we have discovered a fair few gems online - websites that we think you will love every bit as much as us!
As a weekend treat, we thought we’d share with you a couple of these latest discoveries: Lou Rota and Hunkydory.
We hope you enjoy – please share any purchases or websites you love with us!

Lou Rota:
For those who love pretty, delicate, chintzy china…sorry, but this one probably isn’t for you.
Lou Rota offers a brilliant twist on classic English china. Think flashy flamingoes, pretty hummingbirds, beady-eyed jackdaws and stag beetles (yes, really) adorning traditional plates.
We absolutely love this site and pretty much everything it offers, especially the flamingoes. It isn’t that cheap, with prices starting at around £30 for a small dinner plate, but it definitely makes a statement.
Buy anything from this website and we can guarantee you will offer a real talking point when anyone comes round for afternoon tea. I mean, let’s face it, who else is going to have a stag beetle cake stand?!
Here are some of our picks…
Now just add some macaroons, a cream tea and enjoy!

Hunkydory:
hunkydoryhome.co.uk
I somehow came across Hunkydory while perusing the web a few months ago. And what a fab stumble it is! As soon as I saw the custard cream footstool, I was straight onto my phone texting Samantha "Quick, take a look at this amazing website!"Hunkydory have lots of cool and quirky pieces which bring a big fat cheshire cat grin to our faces here at I Am Into This.
