gradma & grandpa

Brian & Bette Linsley, I love you. Forever <3

hello there

Welcome to the first day of spring! Time for jugs of ice-tea, handfuls of wildflowers, bare legs, reading in the shade, and pretty dresses that aren't hidden under cardigans.

recently aquired

Here are the promised photos I took of the beautful Hunter To The Hunted ring I bought, the lovely note it came with and showing that the ring arrived looking just a beautiful as the photos from the website. And the sweet personal note :) Altogether super lovely.

And here's a cute ring I bought from Diva few weeks ago, I've been wearing him everywhere. And a cute bow headband I took home today which is just what I've been looking for. xo

ugh

Why do some girls take it upon themselves to be mean and cruel? Were they harmed at a young age? Is there a bitch gene? Are they related to girls that are perfect strangers but insist on calling you 'babe' all the time? Uggh, it hurts to see someone treat a friend this way. Just grow up already.

Hunter To The Hunted

So while over at Made It I spied this absoltely gorgeous ring by Hunter To The Hunted, and I just had to have it. It arrived in the mail soon after and I've been very happy with it ever since! When I get a chance I'll put up some pictures of the amazing little bundle it came in, tied with string and with a personal little note, completely made my day. Have a look at their store here on Made It, or here on etsy, and I'm considering buying the nice piece below, which is also theirs. Cute.

Actually I made a couple of amateur badges today :) Not the best quality but lots of fun, upload them when I can too, I need a new camera that actually still has a cable to put things on this computer. To do list...

Doesn't Ashley Olsen look beautiful in these pictures? As much as I like Mary-Kate, I really do appreciate a girl whose skeletal structure you can't determine from the outside.

queen of hearts

I made these jam tarts for my grandpa's 80th birthday party, some strawberry, some raspberry :)

zzz

I want to sleep the afternoon away...

Here are some fantastic shots of a few great (and a few stupid) young actors, Vanity Fair sure knows how to do a photoshoot. The top ones are a mix of actors including the kids from Gossip Girl (silly show, but so fun and easy to watch, despite possibly deserving my boyfriend's hatred) and the bottom are of the cast of Twilight (don't judge me, I'm quite aware that the film is rubbish, but I like the books very much and well, the cast is pretty hot. I mean, have you seen Robert Pattinson?? I rest my case.), looking very lovely, and I envy all of the girl's hairstyles, if I could have a professional volumise and curl my hair every day, I most certainly would. So enjoy (and feel free to ogle whomever you wish, no judgement)!

unrequited

Oh, nevermind.

at this moment

this is how I'm feeling.

Sorry, been meaning to post new stuff for a while but I've been very busy (read: lazy). This weekend I went to see the new Harry Potter movie with a few lovely friends (thanks for the free tickets Natalie!), and I have to say, it was pretty great. I haven't been a fan of the movies much up until now, I'm a Harry Potter purist as far as the books go, but since there's no more books to look forward to, I'm stuck with the films. And yeah, it was great; funny, and clever, and a pretty accurate adaptation of the book. I'm terribly excited to see what they do with the next book, good call on them making it into two films, there's just too much to sqeeze into one.

And anyway, I think I've got a bit of a girl crush on Emma Watson, she has grown up absolutely gorgeous! As mentioned in the movie, Hermione certainly does have great skin, and I can't get enough of her hair (thinking of changing to a similar colour myself if I can get up the funds to go to a salon)! And she's the new face of Burberry, which is pretty impressive. So, major envy directed towards her. Lovely.

windy city

What beautiful weather to sip wine indoors with friends :)

pretty pretty yum yum

Actually that last set of photos I found off this great blog called Pretty Pretty Yum Yum, which is a girl living in Japan, talking about the weird, whacky, and amazing food she eats over there. From soy sauce flavoured Kit Kats, cherry blossom cakes, tea and scones ice cream, and a multitude of foods with personality, it's a great read. If only to see how amazingly different their food culture is from ours. But how are they all so thin with these goodies on offer all the time! http://prettyprettyyumyum.wordpress.com/

Note: I'm so annoyed, I found this on Hello Sandwich (http://hellosandwich.blogspot.com/) thismorning, and I come home from work only to find Cleo twittering about this very site! Lame. I thought I'd found something unique :( It's still a good blog though xo
