Surprises & Angry Birds

As my post below let you all know tuesday was Sam's birthday.... although i couldn't say it on the day I had planned him a surprise party at the strongrooms in shoreditch... it was fab, I wore my new bedjacket/dress and my jeffrey campbell shoes- so many amazing people made the effort to come - some, including sam's mum even came all the way down from the midlands! x

We drank far too much and partied all night but it was brilliant!

This is the cake that i copied for sam... except in my excitement i hardly took any photos!..

I followed the instructions here, and would highly recommend it! great fun! xx

Happy Birthday Sam!

Today is my boyfriend's birthday..... it definitely doesn't feel like a year ago when i blogged this!

All of it still stands - here's a few to add to the list!

- he can fall asleep anywhere; Bus stop benches and tubes included

- he does the washing up :)

- he is very cutely addicted to the wire

- he looks darn good in a vintage shirt

- he can party as hard as he works

He is wonderful and makes me very happy :)

Happy Birthday Sam! x

Sunday roundup

Here's a few things that happened to me this week....

-I joined the Gym! - as part of my Aussie 'Lighter self' plan to get healthier, and also just for myself (i really want to lose a stone) i thought this would kick me into exercising!... I also received my Aussie workout t shirt in the post at work! then... I got ill!.. and had to work from home subsequently doing no exercise!

My mum and brother came to London for mexican and margaritas with Sam and I.

Alice, Becky an I had a girly dinner...

and Becky bought me some fab tissueclouds pencils and pen pot!

Emily had an awesome hen do.... i forgot my camera but bought two disposable ones on the way there. these are the only iphone pictures i took, whilst we were getting ready.

I joined Instragram.. ..like twitter for pictures.. i think!

I went vintage shopping in primrose hill vintage fair with sam and bought this bed jacket/dress:

Then went to a pub in old street with Allie where we watched morris dancers and there was a guy in full gimp getup!

not bad for a week full of a cold! x

Pallet planting

I love this idea found over on apartment therapy.

Just find a pallet, line the back with landscaping material and fill! - beautiful!

this film looks bizarre... and yet still good!?

Bikini Season

Sam and I are travelling to Barcelona in a few weeks for a friends wedding in nearby Sitges..... I think this definately calls for a wedding bikini and these pictures of model Jeisa Chiminazzo for Anthropologie's April 2011 Look Book totally make me want to buy one of theirs... the pink belted swimsuit maybe!? x
