If at first you don't succeed

It just goes to show, persistence pays off!!

By persistence, I mean constantly scrutinising the dress section of Victoria's Secret for this gem

I saw it... oh... hum... months ago. Loved it. But didn't buy it. Some wacko idea I had about saving money. Then it disappeared and I have been punishing myself/obsessing about it.

THEN, instead of doing my assignment for uni (Conveyancing - YAWN) this sunday morning, I decided to do one last teeny sneaky peek.

Cut to me doing my evil laugh whilst forking over my credit card details.

AT LAST IT IS MINE! MY PRECIOUS!

Ideally, I will look like nice lady in the photo, not Gollum from Lord of the Rings when I finally get into the dress.

and NOW I can get back to my homework.

Like a good little law student.

Who also bought two super soft Pima tees from Victoria's Secret with the maxi dress.

Nonstop drooling over interior decor = Assignment time again

Yes. I have diversified my modes of procrastination.

Today, we are focusing on decor along the theme of 'well, instead of getting anywhere near doing uni work, let's dream instead of what my home is going to look like'

As follows:

Bathroom (this has GOT to be one of the most important places, doesn't it?)

I'm really liking the darkwood options.. but the pale cabinets are so provincial frenchy, how could I not love? hmm decisions decisions.

Not much easier in the study either:

Or the kitchen (another majorly important room, too often with stingy sized sinks and NO counter space - how on earth would one manage?)

Procrastination thanks to Pottery Barn and Elle Decor. YUM!

... the expression 'hot mess' comes to mind when I saw this shot of J Alba from Gen Lux.

and i mean HOT.

if only my hair looked that good with a brush sticking out of it... you'd never catch me bothering with a comb ever again! once the fringe gets unmanageable i shall be relying on this shoot to justify my refusing to dally with combing devices once more. hah!

yes, that doll is ULTRA creepy. but didn't you get the memo? florals are back in for spring!

note to self: don't forget to stage similar photo shoot with humongous amounts of hairspray & bizarre props like cabbage patch doll.

Can't chat for long...

Just wanted to say what you've been hearing all day long:

Spring has sprung! hah. must make a note to self to come up with something else next spring.

My allergies have been hard at work to let me know.. have been sneezing so much the last few days my lucy liu style freckles nearly flew off my face. i wish. damn those freckles.

Anywho, really must dash off now to paint my nails. I'm doing Rimmel in London Clouds. I know, a blank canvas for spring. How original. Next I'll be prattling about floral arrangements..

Kisses! Achoo!
