GOLD!

Fishtail

My absolute new favourite braiding method is definitely the fishtail braid.  Still can’t find one decent hairdresser to get this done for me, strange don’t you think?

Mila I Dior You

Young starlet, Mila Kunis, who started off as the annoying Jacky in that 70’s show has officially hit super stardom!  She is the new face of Dior and joins the ranks of Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron and Sharon Stone.  She’ll make her handbag debut this month in international issues of Elle and Vogue.

Keri Smith

I was recently very fortunate to get an Amazon.com voucher and in my search for the perfect book I found her, Keri Smith.  The 2 books I immediately ordered looked like loads of fun and I’m patiently (running to the box, pushing people out of my way, breaking the key off in the lock) checking my mailbox every day for these.

Loving your style

Unique style is something you rarely see.  These stylish couples are definitely showing us how to dress the part.  You can be sleek and sexy in a suit or rocking out with leather and animal print.

Drinks Trolley

I was planning on sharing this on my Vintage Favourites but I loved it so much I decided to share this with you as a separate post.  The hints of green with the green martini glass, lime and bottles combined with the red tray makes a perfect match for this glass drinks trolley… Aaaaa!
