I'm typically the kind of person who prefers to carry a smaller bag with me from day to day - I find I stay a lot more organised that way and my shoulder doesn't end up aching so much by the time I return home! However, that all changed when I saw this bag in Zara recently and found myself being swayed to the larger size - the only question is, do I purchase the peach or the grey? Decisions, decisions..

Here's a quick almost-mid-week post with some warm weather inspiration in hope that it will chase this horrid never ending rain away! I've got errands to run and items to post so I'll be running on coffee today, I just hope it stays dry and (fingers crossed!) we'll see a bit of sunshine too. Is there an opposite to a rain dance? An anti rain dance, let's try that :)

April has flown by and I'm already starting to think about my upcoming trip to America in June - I just can't believe how quickly this year is going! Here are a few of my recent purchases, can you tell I'm drawn to metal details and shades of rich green at the moment? I've also just finished reading The Beach and all I'll say this - the ending is COMPLETELY different to that in the film!

Clockwise from top: Zara organic cotton top, The Body Shop coconut body scrub, H&M gold hairclip, RayBan Wayfarers, H&M silver hairband, Maybelline colossal volum' express mascara, Organix coconut hair serum (smells like a tropical island) The Beach by Alex Garland.

I (finally!) saw The Hunger Games last week and ever since have been slightly obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence, so of course I couldn't resist sharing these photos from her April 2012 cover of US Glamour magazine. Everything about this shoot just works wonderfully, and she really does look beautiful. Not to mention that she definitely is the perfect choice for Katniss Everdeen - I couldn't imagine anyone else having the role!

I've just added a few new treasures for sale, the tops shown above are all available here and there are a couple of lovely bags on etsy here so feel free to have a look!
