Monsieur Lanvin avec H&M? OUI!

Have you heard?

Lanvin is doing a collab with H&M!!!

Menswear and womenswear...this will be a 

collection you don't want to miss!

H&M has previously teamed up with 

Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel, Jimmy Choo, 

Comme des Garcons and Victor & Rolf.

I wasn't that impressed with the Jimmy Choo

collection or the prices, but I will be having a look

at what Lanvin comes up with...even if I won't 

be purchasing anything...only time can tell :)

Will there be any stunning looks like this?

The pieces will be revealed on November 3rd 

and will go on sale on November 23

Will you be joining the que?

shocking

ello ello ello

remember me?

WELL

I haven't posted in well over a month now...

shocking. I know.

This Summer has been a lot a lot a lot of fun...

From canoeing to working on a (EXTREMELY SMELLY) pig farm on my birthday...

...to stables...to spending the night at an airport...to becoming a (*fairy*)

Godmother...to relaxing on the beach...to cycling by fjords and waterfalls...

to gcse results...to a last-minuite decision to go to Reading festival

(and touching Marina from Marina & The Diamonds!)...to

watching waterloo road whilst posting this on my blog :)

What was your favourite experience this Summer?

Hopefully I will be posting some more soon,

☺

Missing In Action

HEEEYYY WORRRLLDDDD!

(all images belong to the fabulous google)

Do forgive me for being so MIA recently,

but there is most probably more to come :S

I am in Ireland at the momento,

doing some work experience with my cousin

and her husband who are architects..I am not yet sure

if architecture is for me, but only time can tell...

what do you ladies do/want to do profession-wise?

(a pig farm work experience is planned for next week or so!)

In a couple of days I will be travelling to another 

part of Ireland to spend time with one of my best

friends (who is Irish, so has family&friends over here)

where I will be working on farms and generally

enjoying the countryside and leprechauns ;)

And then more travels after that so frequent blog posting

will not be a big possibility right now...

...I hope you are all enjoying your Summertime!

over the mooooooon

DEEP BREATHS!

This is just an extremely short post to 

let you know that I am over the moon

to be able to say my exams are OVER

and to add the cherry on top...

...I have reached 

50 followers!!!

seriously...
THANKYOU SO MUCH!!
I am 

over

Say "Goodmorning" to Mornflake!

'Ello 'ello 'ello ladiesss!

I thought I would do a post on brekkie!

You've heard it all before- 

breakfast is the most important meal of the day,

don't skip it, skipping it won't aid weight loss 

ETC ETC ETC 

( a King and I moment right there? ;)

It's fantastic if you can have some wholegrains and fibre

(and protein is great aswell, but my mornflake 

brekkie of this post focuses less on the latter)

I have it with some semi skimmed milk and fruit!

MOO! ^

This museli/cereal is gorg!

Don't be eating the sugary stuff that's filled

with colourings that turn the milk another colour!

This mornflake contains:

The only 'bad stuff' is the sulphur dioxide

preservative in the dried fruit, but other than

that this box is crammed full of 

yummy stuff including whole almonds! 

YUM!

I first heard about this brand in this online article:

http://blog.goodnessdirect.co.uk/2010/06/09/uk-cereal-secret-to-french-womans-figure/

and then in tesco's I saw the cereal and 

now have a back up box! 

(For about £2 I wanna say)

I really think

it's a super start to the day that keeps

me satisfied for a long time..and

it's actually tasty! 

ESPECIALLY

with

F

R

U

I

T

♥

for added fabulous fibre

(great for the digestive system)

I will definately be having a bowl before my last

exam tomorrow, for a good dose of slow

release energy to keep my brain working throughout!

what do you lurrvely ladies have for brekkie?

post a comment!

But boot sales are oh so cheap!

As I sit here listening to Busted (ah, sweet nostalgia)

I may have to admit that I bought a few goodies at

the carboot sale today!

But I had to go, to show my dear pal

NatElizabeth! 
(PLUS, we bumped into Alexa! Yay!)

My best buys, in my opinion were:

This vintagey box thing for all bits and bobs!

How much? How much? How much?

Well, at first I was told £1...

but I was running low on the £££

I mean realllly low...

SO..

I BOUGHT IT FOR 63 PENCE

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(or was it 66?)

who cares? because either way,

"WHAT A BARGAIN!"

☺

I also bought this book which I had read up about

and actually looked at a smaller version of

in a local book shop...

20 PENCE!

on the back it says £12.99
.

.

.

I know, right?!

Other than that,

I had a fabulous time later

when Nat, Iza and I went

for a spot of photography for

Nat's photography website which she

will *hopefully* launch this Monday!

(so excited to see it!!!)

And boy, was it hot today!

How did you beauties

enjoy/avoid the (rather heavy)

sprinkling of sunshine?

straws, strawberries and water from a guiness glass

Wednesday June 23rd: 

Summer officially started 2 days ago!

And what better to much on in the 

Sun than some succulent strawbs?

(no, not the haribo ones! 

golly gosh!)

I'd like to say, 'Here are some I grew myself!' 

but it was indeed the papa who planted them!

Some still have a wee bit to go

(I'm not even Scottish...OH WELL I like

the word 'wee' -in the sense 'little')

but some...

...are ripe and ready to be

plopped into the morning

mornflake!

YUM!

(wow, I'm using a lot

of exlamation marks in this post

!!!!!!!)

Now...back to

(physics exam tomorrow..

then chemistry on monday

and then

FINITO!)

and to finish off this post, 

I'd like to leave you lovelies a 

hydration tip! 

oh yes - big word :)

The summer sun has begun 

(couldn't resist the rhyme, 

do forgive my cheesiness)

(^couldn't help myself!)

Anyway, where was I?

oh yes..basically

-it's hot

-you get dehydrated

-you want to drink water

-you know you should drink 

more than you actually do

so....

I have the answer!

(for me, anyway ;)

Some people really don't like water 

and say it has no taste etc etc

(maybe plop a starberry in 

your glass next time?

..just a thought..ANYWAY-

gosh, I am distractable)

Personally, I find drinking water 

pretty easy and second nature

 as I don't drink much else! 

I don't like juicy, fizzy drinks, 

or milk on its own..

even so, I find drinking out

of a big glass such as a Guinness

glass :) and with a

(fabulous luminous green)

STRAW 

makes me drink so much quicker

and just makes it easier..and

in a way more fun, haha!

Try it if you're trying

to drink lots of water

(H2O is super healthy

and good for you,

 remember!)

I should really get my hands on

those curly straws I reckon

most of you remember from childhood:

okay, this was a

crazy long post, 

if you got to this point 

then have an orange

as a reward :D :D :D

(photo taken in Spain 

this last Christmas :)

(and no, these aren't for you lazy little

skim readers!....I confess, I do it too

sometimes, so go on,

you can have an orange too!)

I must be in a very strange mood

- a delirious one indeed-

to offer people oranges through 

the internet...hehe, well 

this is me!

ttyl♥

enjoy the sunshine
