thursday through sunday...


These cupcakes make my life- Thursday afternoon was spent listening to dissertation presentations and eating these beautiful things, before pub hangouts and and evening in. 

slightly barbie obsessed!

On the bus home from town I picked up the Metro and read that Barbie and Ken are trying to reunite after many years apart. Apparently Ken is trying to win Barbie back with flowers and cheesecake from the Magnolia Bakery....yes I do know that it is fiction but as a self confessed Barbie lover, I must say that this article made my friday. 

It looked better in real life

The clock tower in my town. It looked so pretty as I walked past it on saturday night that I took a photo. We were on the way to see the new disney (Tangled) which is a lovely film, full of little girls who i might add had amazingly long hair which fitted nicely in with the film. 

Today has been spent hanging out with friends and chilling at church and the pub. 


♥ Twinnings tea and the quotes that come with them. 
♥ starbucks afternoons

Barbie..

I was one of those typical girly girls when I was a child, Barbie dolls covering the floor and sleeping with me in my bed. I loved them, right up until the age of thirteen or fourteen I played with them. There is just something magical about that perfectly blonde, brilliant doll. The idea that you can just live a life through this doll. The movable ones and dancing ones, one of my house-mates had a singing Barbie. 

And of course then came Ken and Kelly and all the friends to go along with Barbie. It was a little fantasy world perfect for girly pink dreamers: a la me. 
So of course when I came across The Fashionteller's blog about the Barbie spa in Shanghai I had to investigate and discover this world. 

What can I say? I am hooked! Barbie is still as intriguing and thrilling to me now as she was when I was ten. I still adore her and dream of her life. I still (maybe somewhat misguided) want to grab one of my old Barbie's and make-believe her life. 

Believe it or not, I am currently making choices about my third year dissertation and without a doubt Barbie will make an appearance, my friends think I am mad. I think I am inspired.
