stella mccartney on olympics fashion

I absolutely love Jacob Sutton so when I found this video showing the Team GB 2012 Olympics kit designed by Stella McCartney with Adidas, I knew I was going to share it with you.

Indecisive when it comes to DESIGN

While I have oodles of creativity tucked away in this little head of mine, actually implementing ideas offers up a whole new challenge. I can't draw, sew or make, unless it involves photoshop or indesign and then I am O.K. Well barely ok.

So when it comes to the look of this here blog I am a bit stuck; I am bored of what I have but I am so lost as to the direction I want to take. For ages I was thinking about the visual aesthetic of the blog and pleasing or not pleasing it was and while I had bundles of ideas about how I wanted this to look or what colour/font that should be or even how the layout should have a shake up, I just wasn't sure how to implement these things. 

Furthermore, html code and altering ones blogger template is an altogether scary affair - I mean I know the very, VERY basics when it comes to html code but I wouldn't dare mess with it.

The more I thought about it though, the more indecisive I became. And the more places I sought inspiration, the further away I got from what I thought I wanted. With that being said it seemed appropriate to take a step back and seek outside eyes. 

Step forward a wonderful blogger/designer who is working away to create something wonderful. And boy do I admire her for her knowledge, talent and patience in dealing with people like me who know sort of what they want but are rather demanding when it comes to the details. 

So fingers crossed for a face lift in the neat distant future - if my designer doesn't kill me. 

I'll take care of you

this week saw yet another incident which had the boyfriend coming to my rescue. Due to tiredness, lack of attention and general stupidity, I slipped in the shower, head butting the wall and smacking my leg into the side of the bath. Needless to say I had a pounding headache and i'm now sporting a yellow,green and blue bruise leg from knee to ankle. Perfect when the weather is nothing but skirt/dress and short kind of temperature.

Then I heard this song on the tv so it seemed altogether appropriate to share it on this Sunday.

the weekend is for..... RELAXING

Sometimes I really wish the working week was a little shorter and the weekend just a teeny tiny bit longer. But dont we all. The weekends that creep up on you without even really realising it are the best. The sensation of a whole week at work just disappearing before your eyes as Friday afternoon appears brings with it a whole new take on life sometimes - it's funny how your perspective can change within a few hours. Just knowing that Saturday will be filled with shopping, coffee, food, sunshine and other miscellaneous activities that have no association with work makes it all worth while. And Sunday, well Sunday is usually reserved for sunshine, sea, sand and staring at nothing except blue water and the horizon.

And why am I in such a good mood this morning.....to be honest I couldn't tell you. Staying up late to watch the Olympics opening ceremony in London and being woken by the dog tapping my face with her paw at 7am would not usually suggest this mood. Maybe it's just the weekend feeling taking over.

you shouldnt have favourites

But I do. I have a special little place in my heart for affordable fashion and that space is strictly reserved for H&M. I have mentioned it many times before, but seriously, Cyprus needs an H&M; just one, so as not to be greedy.

All I can say is thank goodness for my Dad who is a trooper when it comes to appropriately collating and packaging all my H&M parcels into one and sending them over to me. I am overjoyed I can shop online but my Dad isn't since he is the one that has to deal with the incoming parcels - well if they only shipped to Cyprus.

The problem with H&M being online, is that while I wait for said parcels to arrive on my doorstep, If I have an H&M urge, it can be satisfied. And currently I am craving lots of cool, fresh colours and coral to offset the tan thats slowly creeping in.

I guess I should warn my Dad of more post arriving on his doorstep in the near future.
