Fashion - New Wedges

Hiya,

While shopping recently I decided I needed some new shoes ready for them summer BBQ's, if the sun shines, even if the sun doesn't shine I'll have some nice new shoes!! Win, Win! I needed some new wedges as they are perfect for BBQ's as with heels you can sink into grass, which can leave you looking stupid! You don't want that...

I chose these cute black wedges from New Look price at £19.99 which is a bargain!!

Now all we need is some sun shine... Please.

Fancy a new picture frame...

Afternoon,

While clearing out all my stuff I found loads of old photo frames, now most people would just through them out, but I had some paint just sitting around so I decided to paint them instead.

From this...

...To this. 

Pink is more my colour.

Plain white with a touch of gold.

Now have a green frame and a blue frame. 

These are plain brown... now more colourful, just my style.

I've still got some paint left, what will I find to paint next....

book review - At First Sight

Afternoon all,

Another book that i have read recently is a Nicholas Sparks Novel, "At First Sight".

The Blurbs reads:

Jeremy Marsh once vowed he would never do three things: Leave 

New York City, give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed 

marriage, and most of all, become a parent.

Now Jeremy is living in the small town of Boone Creek, North 

Carolina, married to Lexie, The woman he loves, and anticipating 

the birth of their daughter. Life seems to be settling down - until a 

disturbing and mysterious message appears from the past. Wounds he 

thought had healed are reopened, and Jeremy realises his old life is 

closer to him than he thinks.

A story of secrets, asking you who can you trust, but do you follow your head or heart? A lovely story of a couple in love and the problems they face from their very different pasts.

I now just have to chose which of his books to read next.

Love Lolly

Last weeks Trip to the ZOO!!

Hiya Everyone,

When the sun was shining last week (We seem to have lost it now!), my friend and I planned a day out, but weren't sure where to go, then I had a brain wave, and thought of the Zoo. Locally to where I live we have two very good zoo, firstly Woburn Safair Park situated in Woburn, Bedfordshire, which you can drive round the main park of the Zoo seeing Lions, Monkeys and many more ( Not in the same encloser! haha). The other Zoo is Whipsnade Zoo located near Dunstable in Bedfordshire. This is very near Dunstable downs so has so great views, but is full of plenty of animals, including Lions, Tigers, and Rhinos. I love seeing all the animals, my favourite are the penguins! I think they are so cute.


I took plenty of pictures of my day. I loved the zoo and had perfect weather.

The question is where do I to go next?

My New Clutch Bag

Afternoon All,

Last week I brought a new clutch bag for them girly nights out. I decided I wanted something bright, I've already got many black bags! Therefore I decided on a cerise colour, so i was excited when i saw one in New Look that I knew would be perfect!

I love the cut out detail on the front, adds great texture to the bag. It's a great size so i can fit all my stuff inside! This bag will be great to make an outfit stand out and revamp many of my outfits... Yay!
Priced at £12.99 its a great bargain! The design also comes in Shell Pink, and as a small strap so if its weighing down your hands you can give them a break.
I just need to get dressed up and head out to town for a girly night.

Flowers - Funeral flowers for a friends Nan

Hi,

Recently my friend has some very sad news, her Nan fell ill and was unable to get better, she died while in hospital. It was a hard and difficult time for all the family, I tried to be there for my friend as much as i could. One main place where I was helpful, the flowers. My friend asked me to help and create the design they wanted for the funeral, I thought I'd share them with you all.

Loose Style Lettering.

Based Style Lettering. Ribbon edge. 

Natural Wooden Cross. 

On a sad occasion like a funeral, it's a time for everyone to say their last good byes, remember all the good times. I feel that flowers are the last gift you can give to someone, make something that they would of loved. I know most people would say "Send me the flowers before I die" which is true, but the flowers at the funeral are as much for the family as they are for the person who is now missing from our lives.

My friend loved the flowers for her Nan, and I was so pleased that the day went well for her and her family. 

Love Lolly

book review - Lone Wolf

Hey,

Yes I've read another book by Jodi Picoult, I just can't help myself, she has so many books to enjoy that I'm working my way through them all. This past month I've been reading "Lone Wolf" a tale of a family.

The Blurb reads:

A compelling emotional drama of love and guilt that grips 

from the very first moments.

Luke Warren would sleep in the dirt if it meant he could 

be under the stars.

He lives by the laws of nature, and would surely want to 

die that way.

But Luke is in a coma, and his family must make an 

unbearable decision.

As tensions and secrets rise to the surface, the tragic accident which 

brought them back together against the odds could well tear Luke's 

family apart forever. 

They know Luke would not want to live like this.

But how can they choose to let him die? 

An absorbing read, which will have you turning the pages. You will be questioning which side is correct, to keep believing that he might wake up soon or one day in the future, or turn off his life support. This isn't a decision i would ever like to make, to be in this situation. In this tale, each family member has reasons, but the secrets over power everything for each of the characters. Things they know about their father and how each feels. This is a gripping story, a perfect distractions from your everyday life.

I hope you enjoy this book, I'm deciding which of Jodi Picoult's novels to read next.

Love Laura

Paramore's New Album

Dear All,

I must say I had been waiting for April to arrive for a while, not just in the hope of better weather... which hasn't really arrived yet, but because I found out that one of my favorite bands and a new album out to enjoy!!! Paramore have released their fourth studio album self titled was released on the 9th April and hasn't disappointed me or other fans I know. Its good to have the band back after all the changes they have been through, but knowing they are still enjoying producing music for themselves and fans. Two singles have already been released from the album, "Now" and "Still In to You".
Myself, I've put the album straight into my car, with the music turned up loud so I can sing along to the songs. I haven't chosen a favorite yet... but i'm sure it won't take long. All want next is to know when they will be touring in the UK.... "Smiley face"

film review - Iron Man 3

Hello,

I'm a week late writing this but i thought I'd do it anyway... Now like most people I'm still loving super hero movies and Iron man is one of the best!! The first two in this franchise are great films so as a fan you always worry that they might over do a franchise however the team behind Iron man 3 do not disappointing, this film is still full of everything you loved about the first two film, plenty of action, drama mixed in with perfectly timed humour!!! The film carries on from The Avengers, with the events that happened in New York still on Tony Stark's mind, he's busy building many more Iron Man outfits and finding new ways for them to work. His one aim is to protect his love one, Pepper, but instead he creates a wall between them. A new enemy presents itself to the world, the Mandarin, a terrorist group who are causing trouble across the world, and are aiming for Iron Man. After a friend is hurt he steps up to take on the trouble, however he knows its not only him who could get hurt.
Through out the film there is plenty of humour, with great one liners from Tony Stark... There are too many to tell you. There is a part where he runs outside of the bar he's in and the iron man outfit is sitting along with motto bikes like it belongs... Just made me laugh.
Overall this is a fast moving film, plenty to keep you interested and a great addition to the franchise. I really can't wait to see this film again... I don't know if i can wait till the DVD comes out so might need another trip to the cinema soon.



Hope you enjoy your week,

Love Lolly
xoxo
