A lovely surprise!

Thursday, 6 January 2011

Oh wow, the lovely Kat from the blog From Limbo And Beyond gave me this lovely award - thank you so much Kat!
So, the rules are:

Share 7 things about yourself:
1. My ultimate dream is to open a little bakery with one of my closest friends
♥
2. It took me a while to find a corner of London in which I felt at home. I was pretty close to giving up. But then I visted Crystal Palace & knew it was the place for me - come visit!
3. I love red lipstick (Ruby Woo by Mac is pretty perfect)
4. I hate having manicures! I want to enjoy the whole pampering process but I get so bored - & then usually chip them an hour later
5.
I have younger twin sisters who are pretty amazing. They can make me laugh so much!
6. My favourite band at the moment is She & Him. Their songs make me so happy.
7. I could happily eat Thai food every day

Pass the award along to blogs you've recently discovered & enjoy:

I'm going to copy Kat and limit myself to just 3, otherwise I could go on and on...
The Teapot Explodes
Ray Makes Do
A Rowan Tree

1. Why did you create this blog? I'd always loved scrapbooking all the inspirational things I'd find & one day, after helping a friend set up a blog, I got nosey & started exploring the blogosphere. I found soooo many beautifully crafted blogs & realised that I could save a lot of time printing things out & scrapbooking them by starting my own blog!

2. What kind of blog do you follow?
Any blog that inspires me - so that could be fashion, food, interiors, etc. But I do have a real soft spot for lifestyle blogs where you learn more about the blogger her/himself. I find it so interesting to learn what inspires creative people, their tips & their passions.

3. Favourite make-up brand?
Mac. Always Mac!

4. Favourite clothing brand?
I love Zara's clothes - affordable but still beautiful designs. And if money was no object, then Anthropologie for sure! I go in there all the time just to dream

5. Your indispenable make-up product?
Eyebrow pencil - I dye my hair dark brown (it's naturally mousey blonde) so my eyebrows tend to get a bit lost unless I give them some help ;)

6. Your favourite colour?
Yellow

7. Your favourite perfume?
Nude by Stella McCartney

8. Your favourite film? Office Space. Funniest. Film. Ever.

9. What country would you like to visit & why?
I would love to visit Greece & explore the Acropolis. That would be a dream. In terms of cities, Berlin & Stockholm are on my wish list for 2011!

10. Are you a cat or dog person?
More of a dog person

Versatile blogger

The lovely Bethan of A Pretty Place to Play has given me the versatile blogger award! Thanks B!


This means I have to give you 7 facts about me - fun! I love stuff like this...

1. Baking make me ridiculously happy, no matter how eggy my mood is. If I could choose to do anything, I would bake cakes all day

2. I've been blonde, dark and am now itching to try life as a red head. I just love that hair colour

3. I speak to my Mum every day. She is truly my best friend and such an amazing person

4. I'm a massive coffee snob. I need my cup of good quality coffee to start my day off right

5. My absolute favourite film ever is Office Space. I've seen it at least ten times and it never fails to have me in stitches

6. I never wear heels. I'm 5ft 10 in flats. That's tall enough!

6. If I could change one thing about myself, it would be to reduce the worrying. I would love to be an easy going, fly by the seat of my pants kinda girl. I'm working on it ;)

7. My heart belongs to London but I would love to experience living in Paris at one point in my life

Ok, I'd like to nominate a few of my favourite bloggers for this award. These are the blogs I check in with everyday. I love their writing, the topics they select, their humour...
