Reliving Memories ... The Old fashion way...

Recently I have come across lots of old photographs and keepsakes from all of the adventures I have been on.. no matter how big or small they now seem.


And it got me thinking that the only memory collection I have is a very public array  of photographs on Facebook..... Not really the most personal way of doing things.


This has inspired me to do something I have thought about doing for a very long time but never really got round to it.... Making a SCRAPBOOK !!!!
That's right people Im taking a step back from the virtual world and going against social networking by picking up a pritt stick and coloured paper and creating a real memory collection that i can keep forever...


I had a little look on the internet to get some inspiration and found these pretty collections ..... 










 Do any of you have a scrapbook ?? xXx

However maybe if she used her Sleep Rollers she could have got 40 winks !!!!! 
Sleep Rollers are a fabulous comfortable roller that you can actually sleep in to enable everyone to have fabulous hair and beauty sleep ..... A true match made in heaven xXx

Off to Wonderland ....

As many others i'm sure , I was always one of those little girls that regularly believed in Wonderland and having my very own white rabbit only fuelled my imagination......




I recently visited an Alice in Wonderland Exhibition at the Tate gallery in Liverpool , which although wasn't quite what I imagined ( modern art is way to abstract for moi ) reminded me of my love for Alice and all things wonderland ......




This inspired me to do a little post on 2 very fabulous people that help recreate this magical world ...


The first is the wonderful Linda whose beautiful vintage crockery company Vintage Dorset travels the land of Dorset to provide weddings and events with all of her beautiful China .....
Linda's hand made accessories are beautifully designed and carry this Alice inspiration .... her drink me labels make perfect decorations for any tea party or other super fabulous events, giving everyone the opportunity to have a Mad Hatter's Tea Party ... 
(Photograph from Vintage Dorset's Website)

All information can be found on the Vintage Dorset Website.... Go ahead and explore and be dazzled by her latest work with a very Alice themed wedding.... 




Boscombe  Dorset's very own wonderland comes in the form of vintage queen Nicki Graingers' fabulous boutique "What Alice Found " ... Whether your looking for a fabulous new outfit or a special gift for a friend this is the place to go ... 

There are so many treasures to be discovered with an atmosphere that really encapsulates your imagination.... and because everyone loves a bit of dress up you can transform yourself back to eras girls can only dream of ( thats right when gentleman were gentleman and ladies wore stunning dresses and long gloves) ....
So next time your in Dorset be sure to pay Nicki a visit or if you cant wait that long then be sure to visit her online boutique The Cherry Closet.....



So if any body needs me I will be in Wonderland......

The appearance of todays sunshine made me one happy lady  at the thought of putting on a beautiful floaty dress and oversized sunnies (despite being stuck in doing uni work). No doubt once all my work is done the sun would have magically disappeared , and replaced with the traditional british summer time that includes umbrellas and wellies......


Thats when i came across this photograph and it made me realise all the fun times I have had splashing about in puddles and long wet  walks with the pup all wrapped up cosy ..


So as soon as all my uni work is done I will be embracing the weather even if it means using my sunnies to prevent my mascara running in the rain xXx 


Whats ur favourite rain memory ..... and if your about to tell me you dont have one then get those wellies on and find yourself some puddles .. you don't what ur missing 



A Crown A Day .. Keeps The Doctor Away ....

Thought I would share a few images of one of my style icons Lauren Conrad. 

I love her feminine style and the chic pastel shades that she often wears.

Tomorrow is a new day .. therefore a new chance to chase those dreams ... So wake up feeling inspired and you will be amazed at what you  an achieve xXx 

A few days ago I was walking behind an elderly couple and saw that they were hand in hand ....
This made me smile so much that after so many years they can still be so  in love and gave me a pretty little feeling in my tummy xXx 
I can only hope that when i'm grey and wrinkly I will still be very much in love and strolling down the road hand in hand xXx  

Always be the person that makes it happen ... Take every opportunity that comes your way .... follow all of your dreams no matter how far fetched they may first seem....... Do one single thing everyday that makes you smile..... Remember all the fantastic memories you have had and always remember the bad ones are what make the good ones even better ...... Everything happens for a reason .... And always remember its best to regret the things you have done then the things you wish you had ( unless its robbing a bank thats something you don't really want to do) .... Stay in touch with the people you care about and don't be scared to let the ones go that you have grown away from .. one day they may return and remind you of the good old days and have new stories to tell or you will both on embark on new journeys that never would have been possible if you prevent each other from growing ..... 
And if there is anything i can teach you its to continue to sparkle and be the person your meant to be xXx 

Happy International Women's Day to all your beauties.......

Here are 10 reasons why I  believe its amazing to be a women xXx 

  1. We can actually walk in shoes that are high enough to give you a nose bleed
  2. We are able to cry and let it all out when ever we feel like it 
  3. Once a month we have an excuse to eat lots of ice cream and chocolate... cause boys just don't understand what PMT actually feels like . 
  4. We can never get tired of shopping ... even when you get back from town its still expectable to carry on shopping online. 
  5. We get to feel like a princess in a huge big dress on our wedding day and get to sit at the top table whilst people stand up and give a speech about how fabulous you are .
  6. We have the clever ability to multi task
  7. It is acceptable to own a whole colour spectrum on nail polish ... even if you have to change it twice a day for the rest of your life to use them all . 
  8. There has been a big increase in the amount of female directors and entrepreneurs meaning we are being recognised for our fantasticalness and one day shall dominate the world 
  9. We can spend sunday afternoons pretending we are a desperate housewives and bake every flavour of cupcake we can imagine. 
  10. We  we can spend the rest of our lives head to toe in sparkle (What can be better ) 

                                        GIRL POWER !!

Oh and 11. The fact we had the Spice Girls xXx 
                   

I found this image when I was searching the internet and it put a smile straight on my face .... Which is a fabulous way to start your day. 
I am a firm believer in fate so what ever does happen is for a reason .... Therefore agreeing with picking yourself up and carrying on, not to waste any time moping around !! xXx

Take a pinch of fairy dust .. Close your eyes tight ..... and make a wish xXx 

Monday 5 March 2012

This picture pretty much sums up how I am feeling at the moment..... 


Sleepy head .....


Things are very hectic at the moment ( the reason why I have been slacking on my blogging) with all my uni work and deadlines that seem to have appeared from nowhere. 
As my mum would say I am burning the candle at both end , which with the amount of Vicks and Lemsips I am intaking I guess she must be  right!! xXx 




So on that note ..............
To you beauties xXx

Crowning the Queen of the moment...

Having a extremely keen interest into the world of celebrities, I am constantly gaining inspiration whether its through fashion trends or business opportunities through new endorsements. 

One particular person that has always been a huge inspiration to me is Beyonce and I wanted to share a few more pics of the Queen of booty shake herself xXx
