a Big and Carrie happy ending...

isit possible? i'm not sure, and i think it's gonna be a long long time until i find out, but here's to wishing! 

sorry i haven't posted in a while, i've been lacking in inspiration lately, wearing jeans and a tee every day, sleeping in until ridiculous hours, you get the drift. total disaster. 

but i'm back and ready to rock'n'roll. xoxo

lind-sanity

 

reports are already saying that Linds has had her jail term reduced to 2weeks (14days) from the 90 days she was sentenced to. 

-due to prison overcrowding + good behaviour.  

LiLo isn't exactly renouned for her 'good behaviour' is she?!

b&w jumpsuit stripes

well ain't that a pretty sight ;)

i wish LiLo all the best on the 'inside'. 

whilst we're here on the 'outside' i hope you have a fabulous weekend and all, what are you getting upto? i'm heading down south to the hamptons, to see some of my buddy old pals, and stay at their new house. 

happy weekend. play safe.

it's all in the math...

when you see pictures of beautiful women, do they inspire you? or discourage you?

seeing pictures of these flawless celebrities such as Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Ashley Greene and Kim Kardashian used to make me down on myself... i used to think that i would never be as good as these girls, that i would never be as slim, as pretty or as stylish... but now, i think differently about myself...

after hearing something legend and goddess Sophia Loren once said, i know think totally different about the way others see me and treat me...

"sex appeal is 50% of what you got, and 50% what people think you got"

the woman was a genius- so now even if i am only 50% as sexy as these women (which i know is an understatement: I LOVE ME! :P ), on top of that, if i act 50% as sexy then i'm sorted. people will see me how i actually want them to see me, 100% fabulous

precious time

 

life is such a funny thing- 

you live, you lose, you learn. 

its a vicious cycle, and everyone does it. 

there comes a time in your life that you realise, the humdrum day in-day out isn't what you were made for, life is too short, life is for living: life is precious.

so make yourself a daily task:

dont do things that make you frown; do things you love, 

don't do things that make you cry; do things that make you laugh, 

don't do things that you'll want to forget; do things that'll make you want to cherish the memory, 

don't hang out with people who put you down; hang out with people who bring you up, 

do what you love; love what you do

i hope you are all smiling and having a wonderful day.

nash-ful

i dont ever dream about you and me. 

i dont ever make up stuff that would be considered insanity.

what to wear...?

in september im going to the wedding of someone very close to my family, she has known me since i was born, and my little sisters are her bridesmaids. so, me not being a bridesmaid, not been given my otufit on a plate- what do i wear? i'm not too sure, but i'm guessing white is a big NO! for me?

i found this gorgeous dress in french connection for £75, quite a lot for a one time dress on my student budget, but its a special occasion. 

now to decide...what colour? any help would be appreciated.

gowns of the week...

 

this week the Valentino Garavani Archives Dinner Party took place. and oh my lord! the dresses were a-maaaazing and the atendee's were as beautiful as ever- can you smell my envy through the computer screen? 

from top- jessica alba, looking totally stunning in red; olivia palermo, in a luscious floaty number;  margherita missioni & yasmin le bon, in gorgeous natural colours; claire danes, pulling off some very interesting colours and finally; gwyneth paltrow looking smoking as ever. 

deeee-licious. if i could own one of the gowns or look half as beautiful as one of these women then i'd be a very happy girly. 

have a fab weekend,

muchos love, 

xoxo avs

love dealer...

Last night me and KittyKat went to Esmée Denters new single launch at Movida in London. 

(Esmée 's new single, Love Dealer, is out on sunday to download) 

Esmée was amazing live, her voice is incredible, and in person she was really really sweet and down to earth. 

The club was full of celebs, I got my pic taken with McLean (he also brought me that drink in my hand!!- Am I allowed to say that?) I tried so hard to not sing at him "I waaaanna give you myyyyyyy naaaaame" :P  

Other stars that were there were Ali Bastian (Becca from Hollyoaks) and Jennifer Metcalf (Mercedes from Hollyoaks). 

Just as we were about to leave the club I grabbed on last picture with Esmée, gorgeous isn't she? And her dress is fab, I'm 99% sure its Lipsy seeing as they sponsored the night.

samantha knows best.

- “From my experience, honey, if he seems too good to be true—he probably is. [Samantha Jones]”

Starting to watch entire series of Sex and the City and I love iiiit. I only watched it on and off previously,  and when I saw the movies I knew I'd have to invest (or borrow from my bestie Katie) the Box Set.

Carrie has a wardrobe to die for. (Love how the HBO Sex and the City website credits the fashion)
Samantha is my idol in terms of job, shes a successful PR, me likey!
Charlotte is suuuuch a sweetie. love her.
Miranda, well...Miranda is Miranda. The  androgynous one.

p.s my favourite quote:
“You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothin'. [Samantha Jones]”

even beautiful people get lonely.

lovely waves...

 

Kate Bosworth attended the launch of the Blackberry Bold back in 2008 wearing Chloe Scalloped Shorts from the Ready-to-wear Spring 2009 collection... At the time I remember seeing these shorts and thinking they looked gorgeous, I'm not sure whether thats because Kate looks exquisite or what, but I knew I wanted them! 

Today whilst browsing through my blog roll, I saw an image of Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere wearing something very similar... 

I'm sure you'll agree she looks absolutely divine and wears the shorts so beautifully. This pair of 'Lovely Wave Shorts' are from Queen's Wardrobe and are only $72. A bargain compared to Chloe's undisclosed yet know doubt extortionate price! To get the shorts click...here.

When I move into my new house next month me and my gorgeous housemates are gonna have lots of fun, picnics in the garden, slumber parties in the living room, come dine with me in the kitchen... one game we're going to play in the garden is.... GLITTERRRRR!

Ke$ha says that she gets naked before a show, puts oil on her bod, and gets her mates to throw glitter at her. I am DEF doing this!
