David Beckham for H&M
Yep all the cool kids are getting involved with H&M these days. I previewed the latest Versace collection in Selfridges last weekend... the prints were nice but the fabric reflected the price tag, but hey... the label said Versace and I'm sure that will do it for some.

Punky Hair
It's kinda ironic I'm writing about this, as I tend to play it very safe with my hair... After an incident with "Sun-In" aged 11, followed by a rather dramatic Princess Diana style hair cut (not out of choice... My mum made me have it all cut off to teach me a lesson for messing with my long dark hair... which I unfortunately and accidentally turned a frazzled yellow) I have been a little afraid of hairdressers so my locks have stayed fairly long and dark ever since... trademark look ;)
However I do have a huge amount of admiration for girls who are somewhat chameleon-like with their tresses... and I'm finding myself a little enchanted by punky bright colours at the moment!

Jean Paul Gaultier... Guess the muse
Jean Paul Gaultier's spring 2012 haute couture show, was a refined a collection of tailored jackets, form-fitting skirts and bustiers in somber blacks with splashes of citrus and lime to reveal lacy undergarments, silk dresses and belted waists in a tribute to the late singer Amy Winehouse. Models even wore Winehouse’s signature beehive and had cigarettes in hand as they strutted down the runway with the singer’s tunes playing in the background.

Mad Hatter
Bella trying on Vintage hats in my local town... she makes me laugh, she'll be a little fashionista for sure one day!
Coffeeholic
Getting a little bit addicted to coffee... weird seeing as I didn't used to like it! I used to get hot chocolate from Starbucks and walk round London sipping my paper cup because I thought the other girls drinking their coffee in the mornings looked cool *giggle cringe*... Now I am IN the coffee club... I'm still somewhat of a coffee novice and prefer a sweet gimmicky latte to anything too strong, but I'm defo starting to feel the grip of a caffeine craving... I want this sweater (below) from Wildfox haha!
Dream big...
Ambition is a wonderful thing, never be afraid to chase your dreams, you only regret the chances in life you didn't take so aim high, the sky's the limit...

Dreaming of sunshine
Oooh it's so cold in the UK right now... although I do love it when it's really fresh and the sky's blue, but I can't help but get itchy feet for warmer climates, this would do very nicely... Ayada resort in the Maldives

2011 Redux
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Lost my IBIZA virginity! Yep I finally made it out there for a few days of crazy clubbing on the white Isle… V cool Trip! I’ll be back!
2. Did you keep your new years resolutions?
I can’t remember what they were… eek (so probably not)
3. What countries did you visit?
Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and the good Ol’ US & A
4. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
More time!! (wishful thinking)… perhaps more time with the people I love!
5. What dates from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
As always 18th March, Bella’s 3rd Birthday, my little lady is growing up fast. The 29th June… My birthday… was a good one this year!! And 2nd December, Bella‘s first Christmas Nativity play, definite proud mumma moment!
6. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Learning to play the Ukulele… I do need to learn more songs though! But I love it when I get time to practise, really chills me out! I also went to the dentist for the first time in about 6 years, that was quite an achievement!

8. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Oh god… cringe… no comment!
