mimco treasure

(Mimco Lost City Flower headband, available here)

I have to admit, when Rosey (my lovely sister) came to visit bearing a few Mimco goodies, I was pretty excited. Not just because I can't usually afford anything that isn't on sale at the store, but because this Alice band is pink, white and encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Lighting for photos was yet again beautifully coloured and summery making it easier to get the perfect shot with my somewhat amateur camera. I was going to do an outfit post yesterday as well, but decided against it as my hair wasn't cooperating. I guess it's because the weather here has been searingly hot and my hair has turned to fuzz!

I'm also going to be presenting my book report on Anne of Green Gables today. I think it will go well and I'll be glad to be able to cross out yet another assignment off my check-list. The trailer for the tv series is below. I couldn't resist posting it, it's such a great story and this adaptation is amazing.

I was also wondering what you readers would think of a blog makeover for Avenue M. Any suggestions? Do you know anyone who does pretty blog designs? Or would you like it to stay the way it is? I would love to know what you think...♥

ballet shoes and reviews

New dance gear! Bloch ballet slippers, Topshop bag (courtsey of Natasja), Energetiks leotard and skirt

Woo! I just got back from a hectic shopping trip! I was in desperate need of some new ballet shoes and oh, how I love these new ones! I'm feeling more and more like a ballerina now, as I've finally perfected my turn-out and my sashays.

We also had to madly dash into the nearest chain-store in search of some umbrellas, the weather here has been disastrous -- my annoyingly curly hair has turned into fuzz and I'm struggling to keep it under control!

School this week was relatively ordinary, the only thing different was the unusual amount of assessment that was piled on top of my head so quickly. 

I think the only assignment I'm happy with is the opportunity to write a book report based on a favourite novel. For me, it's a toss between The Chronicles of Narnia and Anne of Green Gables. Both series are quite extraordinary. 

Well, I best be off, the latest issue of Vogue awaits (Summer fashions galore!) along with a hot chocolate. Have a nice weekend. 

Lots of love,

Maria
