I heart simple pleasures

Yesterday I got my nails painted... and they've made me so happy.  I must remember to do this the next time I'm grumpy or feeling low.  Having this extra spark of colour has made me feel happy and relieved, I really love simple pleasures.

Spring fashion week

Last night I went to my one and only show for spring fashion week this year, and as I waited for the show to start... a thought popped into my head that seems to show up at every fashion show I attend... "hmm, here I sit in my flat boots/shoes and elastic skirt... why am I here again... oh yeah, cos I love fashion... maybe I should start to dress like it..."
It's only when the show starts that I realise, I don't need to dress like it, that's what models are for... and just like Carrie Bradshaw pointed out... “I don’t want people to think I don’t know the difference between a model and me”.  And just like Carrie, I am very aware of the difference, and pretty happy with it as well.

Love a stand out laugh

Today I love Adele, not for her soulful voice, her amazing performance at the vmas or her super sweet style... but for the fabulous cackle in her laugh!

Salty craving

Today I am in serious like with the package of tomato and basil sauce, and cans of ortiz anchovies that were delivered to me.  I am quite happy that I know exactly what to do with them!

Learning to covet what you already have

Today I found out that one of my favourite friends had a scare, and somehow, that scare went from her heart and right into mine.  We were both scared of what we could lose, and so I'm turning my blog into
what I already have and like, instead of what I would like to have.... because you never know, what you could lose and how it would break your heart.

I like to start out small, so for today, what I like is something that I already have, and can do myself... ironed pillowcases.  A freshly washed pillowcase is one thing, however, one that is freshly washed and ironed, is just so lovely.  It deserves freshly washed hair and fresh pjs, and it always provides a bit of that extra something, that leads to a better nights sleep.
