Please?

Could I please have this Jacket? It looks so cozy yet stylish. :) Oh how I hate my daydreaming mind!

Happy thoughts

James went back to Australia on Sunday, and although I try and be fine and appear fine it does get to me a little bit. I could list all sorts of cheesy lines about how I feel, but I will spare you. Instead, Something I found on weheartit to keep me happy. I like lists like this, little things that remind you of wonderful moments in life. They make me smile inside. :)

Plaits/Braids

Plaits/Braids are apparently IN this Spring/Summer. This makes me very excited, because I love plaiting my hair when I am bored, and I love how cool plaited hair looks. I really want to learn to do something cool with my hair that involves plaiting...so for inspiration I browsed through weheartit.com. Here are some of my faves:
I'd love to be able to do this last one...so cool!

BHLDN

I know it's Valentines day, and most people are posting all about that...but I don't really do that. So I thought I'd try post similar to that theme, a wedding shop online.

BHLDN (which is apparently pronounced Beholden, from the Dutch for 'to keep') is a pretty wonderful new shop. I don't go about looking for new things like this, but two blogs I like to read for pretty, inspirational images have recently posted about it, and it did get my little head daydreaming. :) (I am totally in love with the dress above)

I recommending looking at the site, and the posts by the beautiful blogs I read because they have made pretty compilations of images:

Oh Joy! - Post 1, Post 2 and Post 3.

Once Wed.

A Beautiful Mess.

A little shopping

I may have done some online shopping (with the help of James) and am now expecting this LOVELY shirt from Kookai and these gorgeous shoes from Zara in the post soon! :D

I am hoping to wear them to a formal next week with some smart black trousers. :)

I have a song stuck in my head...

...and it goes a little bit like this:

I say a little bit because I am useless at remembering words, so my version isn't as good. :P

Early Spring?

It's been feeling a lot like Spring around here, especially today: sun shining, birds chirping and that ever so slight breeze to chill things down. Been gorgeous. So I have decided I need to change my desktop to something a little more springy. I did a search for some pretty spring photos, and photos of peonies (they are quickly becoming my favourite flowers, I'm thinking a possible must have for a wedding). I love pinks, blues and greens for spring, especially with some fresh white. So clean and happy feeling. :) I though I'd share the prettyness, and hopefully make you feel the warmth and sunshine we're having here. :)

Kookai Spring/Summer

Kookai's Spring/Summer collection is finally up! I have been checking their website since half way through January in anticipation.

The trends for the coming seasons are a little odd...it's probably the HUGE amount of bright contrasting colours that leads me to say that...because colours make me uncomfortable. I'm not as totally inspired and excited by the new lines out (with one exception), but the few items that I like I do really really like. The exception: Urban Safari is a trend...I am totally in my South Africa "need a new wardrobe" mode at the moment, so all sorts of safari colours and trends is making my head go a little crazy.

Eee. So, I have tried to timetable into my new shiny work plan 3 times a week to update this here little ol' blog, and todays will be clothes, clothes and more clothes. Because I do daydream about clothes a lot, I thought maybe to get me back into updating I should start sharing it with peoples. :)

PS: I have actually been doing some work! (Shock horror!) and I am enjoying it! I don't know whats wrong with me. :P

Rainbow

There was a rainbow in Durham on Thursday. Despite the pain in my leg when walking I really couldn't resist going outside and taking a few photos. Silly, I know, but it made me happy. :) I am like such a child with the little things in the world.

Our Chinese New Year

It was Chinese New Year yesterday so we decorated the house and had a lovely Chinese New Year dinner on Wednesday. :) Was loads of fun, and super yummy! Mmmm. :)
