I think I have an unhealthy obsession with daisies. I just love them! I can't figure out whether it's the daintiness of the petals or the way they can weave together to make whimsical garlands...

Anyway, the last few days have defined Summer. It has been so hot. The only way to escape the heat is to jump into a pool, lie in the air-conditioning to read a book or sip a mango smoothie under the fan... (I'm still coming up with ideas). Thanks for all the kindness you left on my last post and for following my tumblr! It's quite fun being able to reblog images without the need to explain yourself. Then again, to me pictures feel slightly incomplete without writing. 
The photos above were taken in my other Aunty and Uncle's garden. When I saw that they had daisies too I was like Yippee! because I had actually brought along my camera. Aren't they positively lovely? Well, I hope the rest of your week isn't too hot (or cold?) ♥

here's to the new year

Happy New Year! I hope 2012 brings you all joy and exciting new opportunities! 
Here are a few Resolutions (that I most definitely intend to keep):
♥ Try to write in my journal every day
♥ Be more organised. As much I am organised, there is always room for improvement... I guess my main weakness is putting off homework... 
♥ Build my thrifted/ vintage collection. I want to start op-shopping a lot more often than I do!
♥ Continue ballet lessons and start Jazz!
♥ Improve my confidence, independence and self-esteem. 
♥ Get drawing lessons/ art lessons. I want to improve my sketching skills and hopefully design myself a new blog header. 
♥ Get a job and save up for my first DSLR!
♥ Have a happy and rewarding year. 

I was going to do a 'the year that was' post but I think I'll save that for May, when I celebrate having Avenue M for 2 years. I'm so very grateful for you all and I can't express how much I love being part of the blogosphere!

P.S: Do you like the daisy garlands that my sisters and I made for my Aunty and Uncle? We went over their house yesterday and made the prettiest chains to place on the bookshelf (daisy chains attract fairies, did you know?). I love my Aunty and Uncle's house so much, the decor and furniture is mostly vintage and makes the house feel special and homey. The garden is beautiful too, I think I counted about a million daisies! ♥
