{Happiness} Let it begin with Laughter

{image via: tumblr}

Hi dolls,  Happy Monday!! How was the weekend?? Great, I hope!! We spent time outside when the sun decided to shine, watched football (soccer) with my husband as his team was playing ;) And just enjoyed being together. I got some rest and am feeling more refreshed. I was thinking...sometimes Mondays can seem daunting and you just wish for the weekend to continue, but I often try to start the week off with some laughter and happiness, it paves the way for a great week or at least a positive attitude when one might be needed throughout the week ;) And something that always makes me laugh is the old show that ran from 1951-1957 and still gets repeated on channels in America (not sure if they run in any other country though) 'I Love Lucy'!! I remember watching this growing up and thinking Lucille Ball was the funniest woman ever besides Carol Burnett (she had her own show & also played Miss. Hannigan in the movie 'Annie' - amazing!!) I loved how beautiful she was, but it was her humour that made her fantastic!! I picked one of my favourite episodes and found a clip, I hope it makes you laugh and gives you a great start to your week!!

Big hugs and love wherever you may be!!

{Friday Frills} Let's Play Dress-up

Hello cupcakes, Happy Friday!! I hope your week has been fabulous!! The week went fast for me really. My husband went back to work after having some time off after the baby came. A bit strange with him not around, he was a super help keeping my house cleaned and making the meals all that time!! My daughters are doing fabulous, Noémie is doing wonderfully, gaining weight and getting bigger all the time, it's so much fun watching her discover new things :)) And my oldest, Saffron is a great big sister, helping me all the time & keeping her room cleaned ; ) As most of you know, I love dresses and I know some of you adore dresses like these too, so I couldn't resist sharing them!! Aren't they beautiful!?! I'd just love to wear them and dine somewhere beautiful, I wonder if they could make little versions of these for my girls!?! Hehe, I'd love that even more :)) Well, I hope the sun has been shining for you wherever you may be & if it has, send some of the sunshine my way - we are in need :))) Have a wonderfully fun and exciting weekend!!

Loves for you all!!

{Follow the White Rabbit} He'll take you where you need to go!

Hiya dollies!! I have to say, i am a little overly tired & haven't been able to post or read any blogs lately, I will try to get to everyone's soon. I'm just very tired and in need of sleep. My new baby is doing well, just very demanding at the moment, as all babies are, so if I'm not around at times, this is why. I think I chose these images simply because they are simple and peaceful with it's dreamy whites and soft colours, it brings some calmness to me! The weather has been dreadful here, rain and harsh winds all the time. I thought it was spring, I just hope it doesn't continue for much longer!! I wish you all a wonderful day!!

Love loves

{Style Inspiration} What I'd Really Like to be Wearing!

{via: j.crew found at this is glamorous}

Yes, this is really what I'd love to be wearing just now!! Sitting on the beach with the sun with my family, feeling the breeze! But, all there is, is rain just now, at least the sun is peeking out! But, I do just adore this bathing suit/swim suit. I love the shape and material used, its so elegant and of course my favourite - vintage style :) I'm seriously on a mission to get a suit like this to lounge in the sun and sea in. It would look so sweet with a sheer wrap or some other cover up when you want to walk along the beach. I hope everyone is having a great wednesday, the week is going by so fast it seems. I have been browsing my closet and looking at all the clothes I can now once again fit into, yessss!! I found some clothes I had long forgotten about too, they still had tags on them - oops! Hehe! Well, keep well hunny bunnies!!

{Style Inspiration} You Can Leave Your Hat On!

Happy Monday flowers!! What a rainy weekend I had & it's still coming down :/ Where did my spring go, I wonder!?! Ahh..am sure it's coming back and lots of sun is on it's way! I hope all of you had a fabulous weekend. With all the rain, it made me think of hats and I love hats!! I wish I could just buy lots of them in all kinds of styles. I love how they can change not only your attire, but also your face and attitude. And best yet, hats are something you can wear all year round and they never look out of place. I adore this first picture the most, I actually would like her whole outfit to wear, hehe! Stunning photo. Well, I am rushed off my feet with my new baby, but enjoying. Looking forward to the summer and relaxing with school runs and just being in the sun :) Not long now!! I hope all of you have a beautiful Monday & week to come!! Thank you so much for all the sweet comments, I try to keep up with them and your blogs, it may take me a while, but I will return the kindness. And a BIG welcome to all the new people that I've noticed around..great to see you!! Take good care!!

Loves & big hugs,

xoxo

{Pops of Pink} Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend blossoms, I wish you all a fantastic and happy one!! I have been busying away with my new daughter, she is coming along brilliantly and my older daughter has been a fantastic sister helping everyday!! So, I wanted to post some pictures of pink, since when we think of girls we think of feminine pinks and sweetness!! An amazing thing to be a girl and enjoy all that comes with it - dresses, shoes, bags, the right to be strong, passionate, graceful, and so much more!! Many don't appreciate what it is to be a female, I just love being a woman and would never ever want to be a boy for a second...they don't get to wear pretty dresses and wear sweet shoes and have brains all at the same time ;) Take pride in being a woman & let the world hear your voice!! Blessings & love for your weekend!!

{Life} Hey you

{via: tumblr}

Hello flowers! I had this post pre-set to post for today, as I've been getting contractions now & need to rest when I can and time the contractions as they come. Funny thing about labour is it can come in a flash or you can be waiting for a while for it to progress, so I am going to keep moving around as I can to help it along and rest too. I loved this quote as it's so true & sometimes I need to read words like this to wake myself up. We really must love the person we are, as we are one of a kind, created in love. Don't follow anyone else's path, carve your own! Love yourself and any flaw you may have, because that's what make us all beautiful! Have a beautiful Wednesday & I will try and keep everyone posted on things!! Lots of love to you all!!

{Creator} Flurry and Salk's

Happy Monday dollfaces! I hope the weekend was bliss, here was relaxing, cartoon watching with my daughter Saffron and eating yummy desserts ;) I have a doctor's appointment today - oh how I am tired of that place - but alas, they are going to see what they can do to get this baby moving along, hehe!! Hoorah! I just can't wait to see the new lil' face! I found these super cool paper wigs from Flurry and Salk's whilst browsing around and wanted to share them, I do believe these would be much lighter on the head to wear all day than the real ones worn in those times! But, isn't the artistry exquisite!?! You'll find other beautiful creations on their page as well, I really enjoy them & would quite like one of my own! Well, I must be off..have a wonderful day!! Talk soon kittens!!

{Life's a Beach} The Waiting Game!

Hellooooooooooo...well, I am past my due date now & nothing!! Haha! I got bored of resting & decided to post and wander around your blogs. I hope everyone is doing well! The weather here has been grey and rainy at times, doesn't help the mood really. Have to go back to the doctors on Monday and they will decide what to do, but I am feeling restless now and uncomfortable to be honest. But, I am looking forward to seeing the new little face & I know I will forget all about this waiting stuff once I do :) I loved these photos, as it's exactly where I'd like to be at the moment - the beach! Enjoying the sun, beach and water, but its too cold at the moment still, haha! But, I can daydream & that's good too. Well, I shall go and chill out & I hope to have some news for you soon!! Take good care of yourselves & have a great weekend!!
