pretty hair

    When S came over the other day-bearing delicious homemade peanut butter cookies, I should mention- her hairstyle quickly got my attention. Courtesy of Tania at Curlisto, this is the perfect alternative for these hot humid days that doesn’t involve a bun. Let’s face it, most of us just pile it on the top in a messy bun or tie it all into a ponytail when washing the dishes or out and about on errands. If you can’t master this yourself-even after consulting a video online. I certainly couldn’t!- ask your hair stylist to do something fun and romantic instead of the usual blow-dry next time.

gathering thoughts

    Ever since purchasing my first laptop in a VERY long time, I’ve become a tad obsessed with the internet. Actually, ever since I started this blog I’ve become obsessed. I can’t get enough of gorgeously designed blogs, crazy ideas on photography and food and the large community of mummy bloggers there is out there. It really is becoming an integral part of our generation, blogging I mean. Call it what you want but it is opening my eyes more and more each day. Here are bits and bobs I found interesting over this past week. Have a look.

I am woman: Frida Kahlo

While papa was busy working late a few nights ago, I decided to take the opportunity to catch up on my movies. I have a few DVDs unopened but after checking what was on the telly, I knew what I was going to watch. Frida came out in 2002 yet for some reason, that is totally beyond me, I have never seen it. I think it may had had something to do with Salma Hayek’s acting abilities and lack thereof, I say feeling guilty because I was pleasantly surprised that night.

Happy Father’s Day, daddy

        I am extremely proud to be one of those daughters who thinks her daddy is the best in the world. Our bond runs deep, doesn’t it? It hasn’t always been smooth sailing though. Remember my many many late nights and ridiculous crazy fashion choices? What about the piercings and smoking? Nothing was really that unusual about my behavior growing up; I was merely a rebellious one. For the life of me I could never understand the insistence on table manners or putting the lid back on the coffee pot, or taking my coat and shoes off as soon as I get home. But guess what? Now I do. I see the tiny important things you have taught me in my everyday life now as a mother and I hope that  I will be able to give Georgie the same strong foundation. And our love of music! I am more like you than you will ever know! I love you, daddy. xxx

bringing sweetness and creativity to your day

I was so excited about figuring out Instagram yesterday, I completely forgot to explain what it is for those who are less tech-savvy than me- that means you mum! Instagram is a brilliant photo sharing app that boasts a number of filters for your photos so you can make them look really cool and old! Moving on, this morning I would like to post a link to one of my favourite blogs, bluebird vintage. Check out James and Aubrey’s wedding video. It is without a doubt one of the sweetest and most creative I have ever seen. part-three.html
