fade away

I don't have any tattoos. It's not that I have an aversion to them, nor am I afraid of needles. ( I donate blood every three months!) The simple reason being is that I'm too indecisive, too fickle. I often grow tired of things quickly and change my mind at the blink of an eye. Tattoos are too definite, too long term, too 'there for life'.

One other reason that I have never gone down the path of getting 'inked'  is perhaps that I've never been so inspired by an idea or seen a tattoo that I absolutely adore or found something meaningful that I want on me for life.

However....the above image caught my eye a while ago and every time I come across it, I'm growing more and more attached. It's so beautiful, so liberating, I just love it.

I recently heard someone describe their tattoos, as being part of their body, like their nose or their hands. I never thought of it like that before.

What do you think of tattoos?

Olivia Palermo wearing a Peplum

The peplum is going to be huge for Spring Summer 2012  and as usual the exquisite Olivia Palermo is already ahead of the game and has been sporting the trend. Whether on a skirt, dress, jacket or blouse, the peplum was all over the catwalks and will be the 'must have' shape for the upcoming season. Be on the look out for peplums now! I will do a post soon on peplum shapes available on the highstreet.

Pretty things



picture from pinterest

Sorry I have been away for so long. I honestly haven't had the time to blog regularly. I want to be more dedicated and start blogging every other day.

So I was looking through my inspiration folder and came across this picture I must have saved ages ago. It's is just so inspiring and the perfect way to store jewellery! You could pick these type of little cups and saucers up at flea markets and vintage shops! so pretty! I'm going to try and collect some little bits and pieces and have a go at this myself.

What do you think?

Be Inspired

Miranda Kerr getting it spot on here. What a perfect Autumn outfit! Cosy and chic, she demonstrates how you can look fabulous in all black using a small pop of colour to catch our eyes with her rust red bag. Just gorgeous but what else would you expect from the beautiful model.

Apologies for the lack of posts of late, have been travelling a lot in the last few weeks and I'm off to Germany on Friday. Hopefully will be back in action next week!

Had an amazing time in London last weekend visiting my best friend! What an amazing city, everytime I visit, I fall more in love  with lovely London.
