Girl Crush: Zooey Deschanel


Can't get enough of Zooey these days. Loving New Girl. Do you watch it? I think a lot of us see our own quirky habits in Jess. I'm definitely guilty of turning everything I'm doing into a song.

On another note, I wanted to say thank you to the lovely Heather of Lost in Arles for giving me these two blog awards: Blog on Fire & Liebster Blog Award. If you haven't been to Heather's blog please do. She is a marvellously talented travel writer, once actress, now living in a small town in Provence (how dreamy!).

So as part of receiving these awards I need to tell you 5 things about myself, hmmmm.....

1. I could live on chocolate, cheese & coffee. Well, I wish I could. Unfortunately I have recently found out that my body doesn't like any of these 3 things that I love & so starting today I am attempting to cut them out of my diet for 3 weeks (along with other things) to see if it makes a big difference. Grrrrrr!


2. My husband and I met when I was just 14 years old & he was 15. We have now been married almost 5 years.


3. My Dad & I were both born on Friday the 13th & I grew up in house number 13. I like to think it stops me from being superstitious...


4. I am currently reading "Anne of Green Gables." I forgot just how much I adore this book!


5. I forever have my head in the clouds. I've been like this my entire life & people comment on it all the time. I can't help it, I'm a dreamer!




Now I shall pass these two awards onto 5 other blogs that I love with under 200 readers (ok, so some may have just over 200):

1. Iced Vo Vo's - What can I say? I'm an Aussie girl & iced vo vo's are true to my heart! Marina now lives in London. She's an interior designer with an amazing eye for colour but would you believe she actually studied & worked in the biochemistry/microbiology field? She's an inspiring woman.

2. T like BubbleTea - A stylish nomad. Tania was born in Moscow, brought up in Spain, studied in London, and currently resides in Hong Kong. A thoughtful fashionista. She currently posts about new designers each week that are sustainable, eco-friendly labels.

3. Grayson: a different shade of grey - I have followed Callie for a long time now & love the quirky inspiration she constantly posts. An interior designer from California, she currently resides in Chicago. We share a love of beautiful abandoned places.

4. Ivy Clad - I not long ago discovered Ivy Clad & I must say, I have fallen in love with Keri's style. She finds the most inspiring home decor images that I could just sit & drool over her blog all day.

5. It's Party Time! - Marianna & I became fast (blog)friends when I had not long ventured into blogging. She is not only one of the sweetest lady's around, she's absolutely gorgeous too! Marianna loves a good party & is always posting the awesome outfits that her & her hubby dress up in. She's definitely a party gal.
