AIMEE IS LOVIN’…

I’ve always been a huge fan of Lancome Juicy tubes, and have collected dozens, since they were released ten years ago by the fabulous French brand. To celebrate their tenth birthday, they have teamed up with the super Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to design the packaging for the Limited Edition shades and fragrances. The collectables are only available at Debenhams, so get your lips poppin’!

The beau and I move into our flat this weekend and I am super excited that he is letting me do all the interiors to decorate. I discovered this gorgeous pillow from Hunkydory, and it WILL be sitting on my sofa! That Paris magic, just never fails to work!

Talking of interiors, one of my favourite stores, Liberty, has got a few collaborations worth visiting for this Spring. It has just released a brilliant range with Target, the famous American store, with affordable printed crockery, stationery, clothing, homewares and even bicycles! Also, on the fourth floor, there is a Daisy de Villeneuve exhibition called ‘In Her Shoes’ an eclectic mix of her illustrations and products. Flower girls are definitely blooming this season!

Finally, it is Easter Weekend and I for one am looking forward to not only having a few days holiday, but celebrating the festival with my family. And chomping on one of these Milkybar cow easter eggs. I’m sorry Bluebell, but I just can’t resist you!

LISA IS LOVIN’…

Aren’t these necklaces dee-vine? And y’see that one on the left? That’s me. No really it is, my gorgeous friend Sarah at Temporary Secretary has created an awesome range of kawaii cute necklaces and named that beyond cute one on the left after me – J’adore! Go buy me, or any of the other cute designs now!

Failure and rejection is a chance for us to learn lessons. Every member of the FORTUNE 500 CLUB could be a member in the MISFORTUNE 500 CLUB. Successful people aren’t people who never fail or get rejected. They’re people who know how to fail and get rejected very well. If they fall on their face, they use the leverage to push higher. Bill Gates relished lessons of rejection and failure so much he purposefully hires peeps who’ve made mistakes because it showed risk taking. Awesome sauce.

Ohhhhh, author-crush alert. Belinda Jones writes the most awesome travel chick lit – I love nothing more than to go travelling to exotic locales with Belinda’s heroines and I’m very excited to have a preview copy of her new book Livin’ La Vida Loca, I’ll be interviewing Belinda soon – wohhooo – but ’til then let me whet your book-reading appetite with the book blurb…

Carmen has been feeling the need to break free for Too Darn Long. So when her equally frustrated friend Beth suggests the ultimate escape – dancing their way through a series of scorchingly-hot countries – she can’t resist!

But, when the sun goes down, do they have what it takes to go beyond the steps and free their hearts for love?

I heart Mini Viva and their new single ‘One Touch’ is set to be one of the pop highlights of the year, fo sho. It’s out on 10 May and this seems a very long time to wait for a track this good. Check out the amazing dance moves – you’ll be imitating them in your boudoir and on the dance floor as well as coveting the dee-lish looking cakes.

Oh, and if you love this video, you can get a weekly helping of Mini Viva in their online show Viva Mini Viva. It’s LIVE every Friday, 4.30pm – 5pm from their Ustream channel: http://www.ustream.tv/vivaminiviva.

If you’re like me and you’re a note-taking fiend, who on occasions have been known to be a li’l bit naughty too, then this dee-lightful notebook will put a smile on your face! £7.00 www.beautifulthings.co.uk
