Bring on the sun

I have been sick with the flu for over a week. It is driving me crazy, finally I have taken a couple of days off, child free, to try and beat it before the weekend. It has been pouring with rain for the last week also, and towns in the north of the state are again facing evacuation with rising flood waters. I hope the sun comes out soon.

Post Script: the sun is out and shining in the 24 hours it took me to finish up the post! But I am thinking of Nouveau Traditionalis who is suddenly hosting a 5year old birthday party at her home due to the original location being rained out. xxx

Be still my beating heart

yummo

ok lovers, a little bit of man porn to get our weekend rocking. Yummo. Seriously how good does David Beckham look?!? I know there are two sides of the fence when it comes to tattoos, but he just rocks them.
I think I may need a moment…

What colour are you?


Don’t think about it. Just look down to the colour chart below. Where are your eyes drawn first? What colour attracts you? Ok. If you cheated and started to try and read the writing, close your eyes and start again, then scroll down for your colour description.

I was really excited when I found this over at The Aestate, one of my favourite blogs. My colour was beet, but I was drawn to lake as well. I love the names they have used to describe each colour, how can the words grape, night, pool, bluebell, fuchsia, papaya and rhubarb not make you happy.
I would like to think that that I am inspirational and show empathy and sympathetic.

Lady Like Behaviour

I am loving the new Spring 2012 Christian Dior Couture. It echoes the golden era of lady like behaviour, where you powdered your nose, wore gloves when you went out and a gentleman would order you a martini.
The tucked waists, full skirts, flattering silhouettes are a departure from the Lady Gaga style of John Galliano. It makes you feel like you could wear it, even if you cant afford it. It becomes accessible even if you didn’t score the seat next to Anna Wintour, the latest it girl, or some other A list celebrity.
So feast your eyes on these lovers, and let me know what you think. Martini anyone?

Stalking the Royals… again…

vintage liz

So my latest love of the tennis is best combined with my slightly stalkerish tendency to stalk the royals. So I thought I would share (perhaps its a type of therapy.) I particularly like the one of Queen Elizabeth vintage style. And who would not swoon over the picture of Princess Diana with Prince William. Oh, and yep, that’s Serena Williams again in the final pic.

Anyone for tennis???

50s tennis
{1950s}

If I had a strapping young lad like this guy to check my serve, I may sport a cardigan and racquet more often!! Oh la la. And clearly tennis can be for the fashionista in all of all and the vintage Vogue poster illustrates.
