This Week..
– Lighter evenings – Day #193 – Started Fahrenheit 451 – Day #194 – Day #195 – Day #196 – Day #197 – Friday dinner – Yesterday afternoon –After my lovely week off at the beginning of the month, my feet were firmly planted back into reality this week. Back to work, back to routine, which has been both good and tiring.Ms Mother Nature seems to have listened to me and graced us with some proper Spring weather…which here in the UK means plenty and plenty of rain, with the ever occasional bought of sunshine. Ah well!At least my creative juices have been flowing blog-wise. I have some ideas for a little TLC redesign and new posts. Sometimes it’s good to get away from the blog world to get stuff like that done so I’ve taken some time out reading my old magazines, books and Pinterest. As well as heading over to Independent Fashion Bloggers for some tips.Speaking of the lovely folks at IFB. Two of my posts have recently been mentioned in their weekly Links A La Mode round up posts (my Dynamic Denim and Fashion Week Show Spaces). If you’re not already on the site as a member, I’d highly recommend getting an account. The site is a brilliant little treasure trove of both tricks of the blogging trade and blogs from all corners of the Internet! Perfect for when you’re stuck in a little rut.And off I go…gotta finish of my review for Blogger’s Bookshelf tomorrow and taking a gander at the MTV Movie Awards coverage tonight (hello Catching Fire preview, eeek!)soundtrack: Tap At My Window by Laura MarlingKeep on wishing…R.xoxo -

Curiouser and Curiouser | Alice In Wonderland Postcard Prints
Thought I’d share a recent purchase of mine. I got these pretty A6 postcard prints from Southsea Gallery‘s stall at the Love Southsea Gift Market in Gunwharf Quays. Couldn’t resist the Alice in Wonderland theme illustrations and they were only 3 for £6, so I picked up my three favourite characters from the book [The White Rabbit, The Caterpillar and Alice herself].Ria Xx
