Boy Meets Girl

How cute is this editorial? Yet at the same time it's not overly too girly pretty, I love the masculine touches to the outfits.

These are my takes on the Boy Meets Girl theme...

Delicate Things

I have a busy day in front of me after only 5hrs of sleep, lots of accounts to sort out, training someone to do the P&P for {luphia} while I'm away and packing again! This time only for two weeks, I'm off to China to see some distant family members and childhood friends...

I'm never good with busy days, I'd rather much spend my day around these delicate things.

Blogging will slightly be affected too as I'll be moving around quite a lot, but I've written some posts ready & my bf has kindly agreed to post them for me through Blogger. But posts will be shortened to 3 a week for the next two weeks...

Last Day at the Beach

This summer has gone so quickly, it's nealy September and I have yet to visit a single beach this summer. I blame the weak pound sterling. So to comfort myself, I'll just dream about these images...

Here's to a good week!

Lost in a Strange Land

I found out last night, that a dear friend had passed away almost a year ago. I am in shock, in denial, in sorrow. I feel lost like these photos...

Display Your Jewels

Last week I posted about the cute cats at the Selby , this week it's on accessories

How do you display your jewellery? I used to hang mine on a notice board like this... but dust was always a bit of an issue & the metal/silver sometimes changes too quick and needs to be thrown away

So I was out looking for a clear jewellery box as it ususally takes me a while to find a necklace if I can't see it, yes my memory is that bad! I love the range they have at Muji, great quality and lots of flexibility!

I'm off to London shopping for the day, since moving back home, London is only a 50 mins train ride away! :)
