Post Of Gratitude!

Just to say a HUGE whopping thank you to all my previous and most current followers for helping me get to my 100 followers goal.

It's so nice to know that people actually care about what I have to say and I am so grateful to anyone that takes the time to read my posts... don't feel like I'm talking to myself as much now :)

I love getting comments with your responses and always get round to replying so please comment and tell me anything you like. 
Also if there are any other topics or information you'd like me to post in my blog just let me know.
I love reading other people's blogs and feel so strongly that blogging is amazing and should be totally encouraged in schools to help develop students individual thoughts and opinions and help with typing and spelling etc.

Let me know what you think do you think blogging should be encouraged in education, surely it's a great way to spend your time getting your thoughts across in the written? (typed) word. 

I want a bear dog!

Oh please can I? I'll look after him I promise I will! Pretty please with a cherry on top :D Isn't this the CUTEST dog/bear you've ever seen in your life! I heart him.... like actual love at first sight.

I'm almost sure I could conceal him from the Mr man for all of one second lol. 

 

Purple Shampoo

One of my all time favourite products that I use on a regular basis is Rusk Sensories Bright Shampoo. 

What they claim: Rusk Sensories Bright Shampoo is an effective cleansing shampoo that instantly revitalises & brightens dull, lifeless, silver/grey or white hair with translucent brighteners.

At first I was sceptical this would work, who wouldn't be a little scared to put bright purple shampoo on their hair? Saying this I read many reviews about silver and purple shampoos fixing the dreaded brassiness that blonde hair tends to get so I gave this a try.
It's brilliant and a total must for blondies! It costs around a tenner for quite a big bottle (400ml) but you only need to use it once a week or when you feel your hair needs a bit of a boost.

2012 Fashion Trends

Last year it was hard to ignore the main trend was BOLD! From colour block, wearing bright and bold coloured outfits or items with a colour block in the design. Patterend shorts and leggings were also huge last year and there was also influence from stripes. 

As I previously mentioned on my blog, this year has turned 360 on it's booty and we are already seeing a strong pastel colours influence in spring 2012's fashion trending.

Romantic silhouettes will also be very popular this season using different textured fabrics, rouching and beading.

Floral and animal prints have always been around on the catwalk but this year we are definitely seeing a lot more tribal prints coming in to play. I will definitely be embracing this trend this year. 

Remember tribal prints don't always have to be dull colours like brown, khaki, black etc. Here is me when we went to Marrakech last year in my fav tribal print dress that has a modern spin on it mixing hot pink with black and white.

It has beautiful hot pink wooden beads along the neckline which add to the tribal look. This was bought last year from my fav shop TK MAXX.

Leather is another trend that is going to be used in the summer this year, not too sure how practical this is. From what i've seen so far it's taking the form of leather shorts, baggy loose flared leather trousers and leather waistcoats/blazers... jury is still out on this one.
The autumn will focus on jewel tones such as red, purple and teal colours.

Ivory and gold are also key colours to look out for this year, happy trending!

Family Photoshoot

As a christmas prezzie my boyfriend's sister bought us a voucher for a family photoshoot which came with a complimentary print. 

I was so suprised by this as I thought it was a great idea for a family present that involves everyone.

Today we went to have the shoot and it was such great fun, little one was a bit shy at the beginning but soon came out of her shell and danced and skipped around the white backdrop posing her little heart out lol.
Here is a quick pic I took of her in her puff ball princess dress after we came back, lemon meringue anyone hehe?
We are going back on wednesday for a "viewing" of the photos, so can't wait to see them totally biased but I know she's going to look gorgeous!

My Ultimate Fav Celeb Couple

My ultimate favourite celebrity couple is Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin for the obvious reason that they have stayed married when most Hollywood romances fizzle out as quick as the spark has been ignited. 

Gwyneth and Chris have regularly been snapped looking very ordinary on family jaunts in the park and walking together gazing lovingly hand in hand. In every picture it is so clear how much they love each other and I think they are great role models. Kids names aside (Apple & Moses) yeah I know can't quite get my head around that either either they are the cutest family!
 Another factor I love about this celeb couple is they keep everything totally private. Chris Martin said that one of the main reasons they keep their relationship private is so that his music has credability
As Gwyneth said in an interview...
 'He makes music for his fans, and he doesn't want people to conjure a lame famous couple when they're getting into his music,' 'I get it.'

When asked about his wife he always gushes over her comparing being married to the oscar star actress to winning the lottery, everyone say awwwww!
