LISA IS LOVIN’…

Ohmyfreakin’stars! Now, you can call me a bandwagon jumpin’ minx if you like, but d’ya know what? I don’t even care because I could not have loved the book Eat, Pray, Love more if I had tried. I laughed, cried and at times felt it was a li’l too close for comfort, which is why I am doing star-jumps that the film trailer has just been released – I get a sense that I might be a teensy bit disappointed and I’m not entirely sure that Julia Roberts would be my Elizabeth Gilbert, but that said, I will deffo be front of the queue on release day for this…

This weekend is the Spring Equinox and I am lovin’ the idea of a li’l bit o’ spring-like goodness – spring makes me flirty-skirty and want to kiss in the sunshine, it makes me want to skip along the road and smile lots…I heart spring.

Yes you CAN.

AIMEE IS LOVIN’

This may seem like an unusual thing to love, but I think it is a really positive thing that the government, have invested money into a campaign about abuse in teenage relationships. It’s not something I’ve talked about often, but when I was 17 I was involved in a somewhat violent relationship for four years. It made me the person I am today, but I think if I’d seen something that played out both sides of that relationship – such as the different scenarios in this advert, it would have made me, and him, think at the time rather than just accepting the destructive behaviour. Awareness is so important and the way it is being tackled in the campaign is sensitive yet realistic.

On a lighter note, the beau and I are flat hunting, and whilst he is working out the council tax and the more, uhm, economic side of things, I am mentally decorating already. I am not allowed to unleash myself upon Graham and Green, so I am looking at the cheaper-yet-more creative idea, of having a full lounge wall of framed pictures-images of provocation and beauty, such as the one of Brigitte Bardot above. I love looking at these sort of pictures, they inspired me so much as a designer, and I have been searching for a good print of a Helmut Newton to join my collection!

Finally, the days are getting sunnier and I feel it is time to bring out the sunnies! Ms L and I are all for the cracking out the pink Dior and vintage Jeepers Peepers respectively. These Gaga sunglasses are over-sized squares at an undersized price, just £10.00 at laden.co.uk. A la parfait!

The weekend is upon us ladies – what will you be lovin’? x
