Love a statement necklace

I was feeling rather plain before I left the house this morning. But a good statement necklace fixes all :)

Home Sweet Home

I am currently sitting in one of the two sunny patches that have gratefully managed to enter the house. And it's not because there are no curtains open. On the contrary I have every curtain pulled and every door open in the hope that more light will find it's way in. We are yet to experience a summer in this house so I'm reluctant to pull down any trees that shade the house in case it ends up being a hot box. 

In the meantime I have my office, which I'm happy to say is the sunniest room in the house. It's also my favourite room, mostly because it houses some of my favourite things- most of which are actually from our wedding day.

My friend drew this cartoon of the husband and I. I absolutely love it, she so's talented. 

These love cubes are left over favours from our wedding and housed different flavours of Lindt chocolates.

I had these fake hippeastrums (well the closest I could find to hippies anyway) on the pews in the church on our wedding day as a tribute to my late mother in-law.

I absolutely love Glasshouse Candles. They smell amazing. Definitely worth the money. This one was actually a gift from my bestie.

Happy Friday everyone.

The jolly first post

Hello Blogland,

After procrastinating and much deliberation I'm excited to finally write my first post. This blog will feature my daily inspiration,design ideas and hopefully soon my very first invitation range.

After recently getting married, buying a house and a furbaby, I am at a stage in my life where I should be completely and utterly happy. Today is the day where I will no longer let work get me down.

Five things that have made me happy today:

1.   Florence and the Machine playlist on Grooveshark

Grooveshark is a free online music streaming site which is perfect for me as I'm notorious for not charging my gadgets. You can search by song, album or artist and cue up as many songs as you like. Head over there if you feel like listening to something different everyday.

2.  Crossing things off my to-do list

I have a very stressful job with many deadlines and new projects that pop up everyday, so a daily to-do list is a must for me at work. I've found that this has really helped with my procrastinating thus keeping my stress levels down.

3.  Our furbaby Genji

Loving a doggie (or any pet for that matter) helps keeps stress levels down. There's nothing better than coming home to this little guy after a long day.

4.  Red lips

So much maintenance but I just love it!! I'm wearing Orlane Rouge Extraordinaire #05.

5.  Pictures of Nepal

We’re planning a two week trek here next year. I can't wait! This is the ideal holiday for the husband and I as we hate laying around.

Keep on smiling :)
