LISA IS LOVIN’…

Now, I’m currently on a dating detox inspired by Gemma Burgess’ book – and life without the stressy messy-ness of dating has freed up a lot of time to be creative, hang with my gal-pals and get kick-ass at being awesome all on my own, but this does not mean I’m not allowed a celeb crush, and mine is the unbelievably hot, Sean Lennon…yummerz.

How freakin’ awesome is this picture? Mystic Medusa featured it on her site this week and I fell head over Westwood heels in love. This is actually how my life should be. I absolutely SHOULD be Cleopatra-like, rocking a head dress in a bath o’ milk surrounded by candles looking all seductive and stuff. Universe, are you listening?

One of my most favourite boys in the world is currently riding round America in a truck and recently stopped off at my ‘need-to-go-to-before-I-die’ locale, The Madonna Inn, California and to show his love, he nicked me a pink Madonna Inn napkin, I am BEYOND excited about it. Also in his parcel o’ fabulousness he sent me the most bee-you-tiful card by art-girl Josephine Wall…

whimsical, dreamy and rainbow filled – the woman is an uber-talent. I’m offically a fan-girl. Go visit her website: www.josephinewall.com for more goddess awesomeness.

Yes, so I know I’m on a dating detox and all, but it doesn’t hurt to look does it?! Universe, if I can order one of these up too, that would be fab, thank you.

AIMEE IS LOVIN’

I don’t know about you, but I am all about the Easter weekend – new beginnings, the birth of springtime and food. Why is it, chocolate tastes a little bit more amazing when it’s hollow and egg shaped? Its one of the only times that I don’t feel guilty for eating chocolate for breakfast, and cake for afternoon tea. Talking of afternoon tea, last weekend, I went to the fabulous Covent Garden hotel for a stack of fancies such as pink champagne, scones with cream, toffee choux buns and chocolate dipped strawberries for my Grandma’s birthday. As well as being a delicious day out, it reminded me how I’ve always wanted a little cafe haven, with dozens of cakes and a retro cocktail bar with some knickers chucked in. Although the pennies don’t allow it, it doesn’t mean I can’t start small with these fabulous cake stands from www.pinksandgreen.com. They are pure retro housewife heaven.

Talking of new things, my inbox is being inundated with new swimwear ranges this week - reviews coming later on Sassy - and whilst I am finding it a little bit hard to comprehend getting into one after Easter weekend, I have spotted my dream bikini. The new Agent Provocateur, AmyLee tie side, is a lil' bit St-Tropez and a lil' bit trailer trash, and with the gorgeous retro travel print its adorable and dream-worthy!

Something else that keeps catching my eye, are the dresses on the Simply Be advert. Apologies for the teeny picture above, but the peacock print maxi dress is not only an excellent homage to vintage Matthew Williamson, it makes me want to get my gold bangles and jewel coloured MAC eyeshadow and flail around a field hippy style.

I spoke last week about building a photo collage wall, for my new flat. I love to look through Taschen books, particularly their photography collections and as my collage wall is about empowerment and inspiration, I have been flicking through Richard Kern’s ‘Action!‘ which is about unpretentious, unadorned women.

Finally, I have been stopped three times this week, by fellow minxes cooing over my nail colour. Tropical Temptation, by Revlon, is a punchy pinky-orange with a touch of the fluorescents about it. And its not too expensive-available here at Superdrug, where Revlon are two for £8.00, right now!

What are you lovin’, chicas?
