2. While we're on the subject of fashion I have to mention my Valentines Day present to myself, my Chanel nails! My inspiration board is on my Facebook page but more or less I was inspired by the feathers they use in their Couture (in particular SS13), stars in their Jewellery & Ready to Wear looks & their iconic perfume bottles. They are quite simply amazing. Still curious? See them yourselves here.
3. Homemade berry & banana smoothies are the best. Forget Starbucks, for now..
4. The greatness that is Les Miserables the film. I finally saw this on Monday & loved it. What an incredible musical & story. The film is also cast perfectly & it'll be very surprising if Anne Hathaway doesn't win an Oscar for her role. Definitely see it if you haven't already & be prepared to have the soundtrack playing not long after, oh & take tissues!
5. I'm going to Wellington again next week! It is only a day trip but already I am counting down the days. This means high tea, vintage shopping & lots of wandering. ♥
6. Two of my friends have recently given their blogs major overhauls & they both look amazing!! Hannah & Britney have both changed their blog names recently & changed their design among other things. They've both done a fantastic job so make sure you check out the changes.
7. That dress Carrie wore on Episode 5 of The Carrie Diaries. Unfortunately I can't find a full length photo anywhere online but her dress was Sapphire blue & she wore it underneath a full length tulle skirt. It looked amazing layered with lots of glitzy necklaces. Speaking of The Carrie Diaries, this blog posts many of the clothing featured from the show & where it is from. There is a lot of Marc by Marc Jacobs & Topshop as you'll see! ♥
8. Focus has been a key idea this week. Recently I'd been getting caught up in what was going on around me, in many aspects of life & this was making me doubtful about a number of things. So I've been doing a few tasks like mind mapping, goal setting, tuning out distractions & focusing my attention elsewhere. It really helps.
9. Evie's fabulous home has been featured in Homestyle magazine this month! Evie is the lovely person behind my new logo & planned redesign & she also blogs + designs all sorts of radtastic things. Anyway, the photos & interior design ideas in the article are well worth a look so be sure to check the issue out when you're next near a supermarket or bookstore.
10. Leah Light launched her fabulous new range of Minx Nail designs this week! They are pretty stunning & all have really lovely inspirations+stories behind them. Check them out here.
