Happy Friday & Heavily pregnant…One year ago…

Happy Friday all…have you all had a good week?

I hope you have a nice weekend planned. We have a first birthday party for a little friend of H’s to attend…other than that it’s a quiet weekend for us…Yay!!

On a separate note…

I can’t believe H is 1 at the end of next week!!! We are going to have a one year old in the house…no longer a baby…we will have a toddler!!

I am so completely amazed at how much happens in a year…

I was cleaning out some photos on my iPhone yesterday and came across these…I realised they were taken a year ago… a week before my life changed FOREVER…

I forgot how big my tummy got and how amazing we are (women) that we can grow a baby inside of us and then give birth to them…big ouch!!

P.S..Yes that is a knitting needle on my lap…part of my nesting phase had me knitting blankets for my little bundle of joy!!

Have a wonderful weekend all.

Botanical Prints…

I love Botanical prints…they can add such elegance and style to a room. I currently have some prints at the framers that I’m very excited about. Prior to taking them to the framers I looked around the web to find framing and styling inspiration. I found lots of great ideas. Here are some that caught my eye…

Gardenia Love…

I am so excited to finally get some Gardenia’s in our garden this week. We are putting in several ‘Professor Pucci’ plants. We love the deep green shiny foliage and they have large creamy white flowers and are known for their strong scent. Yippppeeeeee….

My love of the Gardenia extends beyond the plant…I constantly wear Annick Goutal’s Gardenia Passion. …

Diptique’s Gardenia candle and room spray are gorgeous…

I’m currently loving Lafco’s ‘Living Room’ candle…it is a ‘Fresh Cut Gardenia’ scent…it smells amazing and really fills the room…

One of my very first perfumes as a teenager was Elizabeth Taylor’s Gardenia. I haven’t seen it for years and wasn’t even sure if it was still available until I googled it just now…I found it here…from memory it was lovely…

On my wish list is Chanel’s Gardenia perfume…

I have been looking around at photos getting excited….I wanted to share some with you. Not only do they smell amazing but they are pretty to look at too…

The Little Black Jacket…

I can’t wait for this to come out…its release date is August 25, 2012. It’s available for pre order here…


The book description on Amazon says..

This book is Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic little black jacket. Lagerfeld has redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The Little Black Jacket contains Lagerfeld’s photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair – sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel – and each styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. This book shows the astounding versatility of Chanel’s vision in Lagerfeld’s hands, and ensures the little black jacket’s future as a timeless classic.

Will you be buying a copy?
