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...♥

stop and smell the roses

I've been very impressed with the amount of DIY talent in the blogosphere lately. For example, this adorable headband made by Carrie got me really excited. She mentioned in the instruction post (here) that it's very easy and fool-proof so this means I can make it without a) pricking myself in the finger b) spending hours pondering how I can construct it. Yay!
I would also like to mention that I was so excited about the overhwhelming repsonse to the last few posts. You guys are so lovely and it's really motivating to get such postive feedback all the time. So, thank you ♥

Anyway, back onto the fashion side of things, casper&pearl (the gorgeous brand I hosted an interview with a while ago) have released another gorgeous lookbook full of lace, florals, vintage shorts and flower wreaths. Basically everything I love!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
