This month's nominee

If you haven't heard already, Pantone just announced the colour of 2012.

Meanwhile, this weekend I was rediscovering my purple heels.

And it got me thinking how I do love that particular tone of jewel.

And so, I have decided to announce a candidate for colour of the month.








It's also the colour of Christmas!
 

What's everyone else putting on their tree this year?

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!

cheap n chic

hah! scoured in bottom of my purse today and bought this charm curtain that one puts together (my nails are frayed from pulling everything apart over and over)...
it cost 3dollars! i thought:
"hah! that's cheap and entertaining... hullo goal no. 2 (save money) totally achievable... i shall do cheap DIY hobbies instead of blowing entire wages on pants and the stupid like"

only to find, that not only does the 3 dollars not even cover half a window (which i had been FULLY prepared for... i mean 3 bucks! big deal)

well, well, well, push me over and slap me silly and call me a goose...

cos the thing covers like 1/15 of my window... i shall have to go back and spend like... who knows (i cannot measure obviously.. and i cannot do my 3x timestable)
SIGH
worse still, B will have deja vu from the time i bought my curtains which were transparent (i did not realise just how useless they were), and which failed to cover a single pane of glass... i also had to buy my curtain piece by piece...
BLAST!!..and to think i was so pleased with myself this evening...
