away with the fairies

I love being in a daydreaming mood, the kind where you cannot help but disappear inside your own thoughts. This happens very often, maybe it is something to do with me being a Pisces, if you believe in horoscopes, they are supposebly very daydreamy. It is so peaceful and relaxing and there is something special about being left to your thoughts. I love the situations and places you can imagine, something that would be impossible is suddenly the easiest thing to manage and it can be really helpful when I am sad or angry. The only thing about it that I find strange is being around other people when I am in this sort of mood. It makes me feel so detached and uninterested in what is going on. Also, I probably give off the impression that I am moody or unfriendly when really that is not the case. This happened to me today, but then again it could have been because of the fact I had to spend a bus journey with a very boring person and I would much rather dream about being in my own special fairytale.
At the moment this is what I'm dreaming of..

A trip to the beautiful Italy...

My very own magical castle...

And heart warming love...

Influence

"Sometimes you feel everything and nothing all at once. Sometimes you’ll find yourself smiling while missing someone at the same time. At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them so badly. Life comes without guarantee’s, except that smiling will brighten your face, laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life."

From This is my heart. It is a good heart.

The Olsen's have definetely created a storm around the world, and it isn't hard to understand why. They are both beautiful women who are known worldwide as fashion icons, designers, actresses, authors.. is there anything these two can't do?
I am so so excited to read Influence. It isn't out in the UK for another few weeks, so any American's count yourselves lucky that it is already out there! I shall be rushing to buy a copy on the day that it comes out, but the only problem I have is which cover do I choose?!

Anyone have a favourite Olsen? Some people can't tell the difference, others love them both but I tend to alternate between them.. At the moment my favourite is Ashley, I love her style so much. Her outfit at the book signing above is gorgeous. I would very happily change places with either one of them given the chance!
Anyone who has already read the book what do you think?

busy little bee

Ah I have been so so so busy the past few days, so I've only just had time to blog. Finally finished all of my work though, which is a relief! My poor cat is absolutely terrfied of all of the fireworks. I like to watch them but the noises always make me jump. Is anyone going to be having fireworks for Bonfire Night tomorrow?
I am so tired that I can barely think of anything interesting to say.

These photos are by Brassai, I love the darkness of them, they look so mysterious and interesting.

oh happy shopping days

I can not believe it is November already. This year has flew by...

I woke up this morning to find I had a parcel in the post! Excitedly, I opened it up to discover a gorgeous necklace and a beauitful pendant that I had ordered from the ragsandscribbles store on Etsy. You should check it out, it's full of lovely handmade things that you won't be able to resist!


Aren't they lovely? :) I wore the necklace today and I can't wait to find a chain for the ballerina so she can dance from around my neck.
I then went shopping with my mum for college supplies (yawn) but we ended up in an amazing second hand store where I found the most perfect t-shirt dress and a lovely headband sort of thing.
So all in all today has been a good day so far - and it's not over yet!
I hope everyone had a wonderful halloween full of lovely lovely treats!

lipstick jungle

I am loving the tv show Lipstick Jungle right now. It's based on the book by Candace Bushnell, who brought us the amazing Sex and the City so that was enough to make me watch it! Not as good as SATC but still brilliant. Full of lovely clothes and shoes!!
I love the character Victory Ford who is a fashion designer played by Lindsay Price. She is so beautiful and her clothes are gorgeoussssss.

cats and cottages

Every couple of minutes I hear my cats bell ringing as she runs into the room, rolls over next to my feet and waits for me to tickle her belly until she gets bored and leaves, only to come back a few minutes later. I have to say I love the adorable, attention seeking beauty.
I must must must do some college work today. I vow to start it after this post!
Also, I got my halloween costume today! I am a pumpkin and a very excited one at that.
I watched The Holiday this morning and I am in love with Iris' cottage, it's so beautiful!

lazy days and winter nights

I have to say I am in love with the college holidays. Today I had another lazy day watching films under my fairy lights, and no I'm not a very early Christmas decorator I have them up all year because they add a cosy feel to my room which I like. I also actually did some college work, out of boredom and fear that on Sunday night I would end up with a pile of work to stress over. Quite excited for Halloween now, I know what outfit I'm getting now it should be fun :)
What is everyone dressing up as? Got any fun plans?
I'm sat cuddling my hot water bottle as it is so, so freezing! I quite like winter nights though, getting all comfy and warm in my pjyamas, dressing gown and slippers watching good television or films with a hot chocolate is heavenly.. :)
