Wishing on Wednesday!

The most to-die-for jacker ever, plaited scarf with matching heels. Bliss! More photos to satisfy my too-high shoe fetish. Amazing. Bottom shoes are similar to shoes I am wearing now ;D That dress is l.o.v.e.
Duffy! Her voice is WOW and as you can see, so is she! Soo pretty, classicly. She is very much her own person, saying in an interview a few weeks ago, that he hates being compared to other singers, even if they are the best in the world.. Kudos!
"You Suck" ... need I say more ;)

Decor.

Perfect. My absolute fave colours evaaa. Glee! Turquoise and fuchsia... Yum. Gorgeous curtains and quilt too!
Absolutely completely madly in love with the white brick wall feature. "White-everything" has always been a favorite of mine . Reminds me of some kind of sexy New York loft (that I dream of living in)! The height of the room adds to its grandeur...Love.Fairy lights.

Love the beige artwork/headboard, and matching bed covers. Elegance. The same room from a different angle. Love the hidden fireplace and cute space for shelving. ;)
Memory wall!! around a mirror! Adore.

Its always like reading about something you have dreamt about when reading old diaries... You will know this if you have diaries (I have over 10 in my cupboard from when I was around 10 yo) and am keeping them forev and ev! Old thoughts are magnif.... You learn alot about how your thought patterns have changed and things that are still the same. Cutest!

Wisdom teeth.


Why are wisdom teeth called wisdom teeth? Do you become wiser having these? And less wise when they are removed? Ha well I think not but all I know is I have been in rediculous amounts of pain for the last two weeks as these little suckers are growing threw. I purchased "Medijel" which numbed the pain and is amazing actually! It tastes like fake mint and makes me dizzy n' more smiley (if poss)! Hee! I would also like to thank Wishbone for the most delicious vegetarian soups in the universe(as I am slooowly becoming more n' more vege, but feeling the effects of the healthy transition)!!!! Mushroom n' red wine / broccoli n' blue cheese are the yummiest! Try Try!! There is a Wishbone opposite Ariake and another on Vulcan Lane, both in the City. Mmmm. miniii love...x

Olympics!

I'm sucked in!!! Loving the Olympics entirely. Espesh the surreal synchronised diving and gymnastics! So elegant and flawless! I did -not- enjoy New Zealand vs Brazil football... We got thrashed. It was frustrating because we were actually not good at ALL!! It was like watching a computer game.... [ew&ick!]
Does any one know why on earth the Olympic organisers chose Beijing of all places to hold the Olympics? The "fog" can't be good for these athletes' lungs ! Ick! It is a beautiful city and stadium apart from the pollution nonetheless. x x

Do it.

Do it ::^^! !
Nowadays everyone is looking for the negative in things, or only seeing negative wherever they look. Open your peepers and see the beauty in all around you! I don't understand people with brains that think the opposite to this and base their life around the ugliness of the world. Why on earth would you ever want to live that way? People who live to gossip about other people and seem to actually enjoy hating people! Why? To feel oh so high n' mighty?? Ha! Life isn't a game so why not make the most of it and always be happy n' positive n' friendly to everyone!
No one is superior to anyone and there is no reason to ever be that negative and horrid. Smile Lovelies x x x peace, Min x

Seven Deadly Sins.











These red wine glasses are based on the 7 deadly sins. Each glass encapsulates a sin, which is revealed through the ritual of drinking. The ‘7 Deadly Glasses’ are about celebrating passion and encouraging the user to be sinful in a theatrical fashion.
J'adore.
