Their kids must be superhuman...

Now i'm still 'Team Aniston' but you cannot deny that these two should only but rightly be together for the sole reason that they're just too beautiful for anyone else. 

I love these shots by Steven Klein for W Magazine.  I'm really into the sixties right now, more Jackie Kennedy than flower power hippy, and this is a gorgeous example of why.

Small bunnies and extraordinary journeys

Ahhhhhhh...thats better. That would be the sweet and satisfying sigh of relief. Relief from exams and uni (from wednesday, so my sighing is unfortunately premature) for a near blissful 9 months. What has been keeping me sane during these last few weeks of working and studying have been the occasional indulgence in these delectably delicious miniature chocolate bunnies.



This is the second page in the YSL colouring in book (yeah i know how awesome is that and yes i realise that i'm twenty now and that colouring in at my age is considered slightly weird and definitely uncool) and i thought it was pretty and wanted to share it with whoever reads these ramblings.

late night shopping and january sales

ahhhh when did i become such a spender? i used to be the original saver even from like the age of 5 i always saved up my pennies in my banky and now you can't get me to keep them in long enough!!!

I used to be so good at NOT spending my money that one time (...at band camp, well no but it always makes me think of Alyson Hannigan in American Pie) my granda took all his kids and grandchildren to disneyland paris, yep that time me and jaz got 'lost', and long story short we ended up having to stay another night and change our flights and all that jazz. Well when we got to the train station (eurostaring it up) everyone had spent all their pennies and it was me, little old 9 year old me, to the rescue paying for the taxi's and snacks for everyone. Obviously i was reimbursed at a later but it's still a pretty cool story for a 9year old.

But anyway back to what i bought...these lovely new cat-eye sunglasses by The Row (Marykate & Ashley Olsen's ready-to-wear and accessories line launched in 2007). If you know me i'm all about the vintage so hopefully these will suit me. So excited to wear them because i have such a problem finding sunglasses that suit me and look nice. Will possibly post a pic of me wearing them when they arrive!

I bought these sunglasses from The Outnet which is the sister site to Net-a-porter. There are some great designer bargains to find so i recommend a look-see!

"It is moments like these that i know what
my purpose in life is. I am here 
to love you,
to hold you in my arms, to protect you. I am here
to learn from you and to receive your love in return. I am here
because there is no other place to be.

Piano fingers, bromances and looooong library sessions...

This is Kenny and Matt. They're best friends. The one on the right (Matt) happens to be my fiance and the one with the nice bit of (my) 'ice' on his finger would be Kenny. 
This is evidence of our very productive day at the library. I believe productivity was down due to the fact we were not situated in the 'handsome corner' (boy's reference not mine) on the 5th floor of the Georgina Scott Sutherland Library; otherwise known as the financial wizard hotspot!


< the reason for this picture is that Matt asked for my engagement ring back so he could give it to Kenny instead and weirdly it fit snuggly onto Kenny's pianoman fingers. Not sure whether to be impressed or offended...
