Post Oscars

Well after a month of madness, The Oscars are over! History was made with Kathryn Bigelow winning the award for Best Director, but lets talk about the important bit... the dresses!

I have just been searching through photos for my best and worst and hear they are. My worst dress has to be the one worn by Charlize Theron. I'm sorry but first of all I am not a fan of lilac, but Charlize you are not Madonna in her Blonde Ambition tour so why have you got lilac satin swirly cone things on your chest!? Also the dress is creased at the bottom, not good!

Next topic.. Kristin Stewart. I detest this girl! I have never watched the Twilight films and never will because of this girl. She can not smile, will not do anything with her mouse brown hair and someone put some make up on her! The dress is wonderful but on her it just does not work.

Right that is the bad sorted now onto the good, Miley Cyrus. I love this dress, its grown up yet fun for an teenage girl which she is. I love the earrings and bracelets and the hair is brilliant in an 'up do'. Well done team Cyrus!

Penelope Cruz, can she do no wrong. Not according to the fella who thinks she is the best thing since sliced bread! Don't worry he has to put up with me going on about Johnny Depp and Hugh Jackman all the time.

Anyway, she looks amazing. She can just make it work whatever she wears. The Burgundy dress is perfect with her skin tone and hair colour and the hand on the hip pose never fails.

And finally Carey Mulligan. It is impossible to see all the detail on this dress. There are beads, buttons, crystals, sequins all hand sewn onto the corset and with the short pixie haircut the whole thing is quirky, fun yet glamorous. Well done Carey!

So there you have it, my opinions but what do you think? Have I missed your favourite out? Let me know who you loved and loathed.

Is that...Sunshine?

For two days now I have noticed something different in the sky... the Sun. I had almost forgot what it looks like and for now it looks like Spring is actually here. Flowers have started to bud and grow, birds have started to sing and for the last two days I have actually had to wear my sun glasses to drive!

This also means I have got in the mood for a Spring clean! I haven't actually done it yet but I am getting in the mood for it and deciding what I need to get rid of. There are plenty of clothes in my wardrobe which I haven't worn for ages which are destined for the charity shops, as well as magazines, bits of paper and general rubbish which all need to be recycled.

So all in all a good plan to get a bit of organisation to my life.... oh hang on the sun just disappeared, oh well!

I have also noticed I am starting to want to eat Salads and colourful things rather than the Winter soups, stews and casseroles. Its funny how within a week everything can change.

Hello Lover

I love shoes! I especially love these shoes. The Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes have been selling for a year now and after lots of research I have decided I need a pair.

The Melissa range of shoes are basically 'jelly' shoes but a lot more fashionable and comfortable than the cheap jelly shoes we used to buy at the beach. As I said I have done my research, asking anyone who has a pair how comfortable they are, and apparently they are wonderful, light to wear and don't give you blisters!

So next month I am having a treat and purchasing a pair of these babies. They cost about £80 which for Vivienne Westwood is very reasonable actually bearing in mind a pair of Viv's pirate boots are about £350. Maybe I won't tell the fella until I actually have them!!!

What now?

The fella and I have just come back from a relaxing weekend away in the country. We have been looking forward to the weekend for so long and now it's over. I feel like the child who looked forward to Christmas for so long and then cried when it's all over. So now it is back to work and reality.

As I sit here back in my own bed watching Sex and The City, laying next to the fella who is reading, I am thinking of when will be the next time we get to spend some quality time together. We have always been a couple who try to make time for each other, either going for a coffee, dinner or the cinema, or of course the occasional romantic get away as we find it important to make the most of these times as we know it won't always be possible to make these occasions happen.

So as I said it is time to get back to normality and tomorrow the fella and I go to work and soon I we will be back to thinking about door stripping and painting walls, grown up stuff! So now I will be looking forward to May when I go for a girlie hen weekend followed by the fella's Birthday, you never know by then those doors might be done!

2 Days to go...

and it's all packing baking and compiling a long shopping list! Yes the fella and I are off for a few days on Thursday and we are really looking forward to four days of rest and relaxation.

But within two days I am baking cupcakes, having my hair done, knitting a baby hat which has to be done by Thursday morning and going to work! Oh and pack and go shopping. But I can't wait.

Anyway today as I look out the window the sun is out and the sky is bright blue and it looks like mid spring until you see people all layered up wearing hats and scarves as it is freezing cold, and with more snow on the way I think this morning's weather is going to be a rare event for a while. In fact two minutes later and the sun has now gone and the grey clouds are back! Oh well that lasted long.

I can't wait for spring to get here, I am fed up of wearing layers and heavy coats. I want to wear dresses and skirts and little jackets. Come on March, please bring us some nice sunshine x

6 Days to go

The fella and I go for a romantic weekend away in six days time and we can't wait. I've actually excited about spending the whole of next Friday in my pyjamas! I am also excited about having a rest. On Tuesday I felt my energy drain away. My neck hurt, my legs and arms hurt and I just wanted to go to sleep. So since then it has been back to resting, pacing and doing one thing at a time.

It doesn't help that the weekend before our weekend off, I have got a very busy out and about, dinner tonight, work tomorrow morning then off to my little cousins to deliver his birthday present and have some silly time (he will only be three Sunday). Then it's off to Lowestoft in preparation for my friends 70's costume party. Then Sunday back to work.

Role on next Thursday! 5 days of much needed rest and relaxation x
