    3 Things I am Thankful For

    1. My Boyfriend. He has designed my business cards and has promised to teach me photoshop. I am lucky and so thankful that he is amazingly supportive.

    2. Autum. There is a chill in the air and I dont want it to leave. I am so much more comfortable in the cooler seasons...plus, the fashions are much more chic!

    3. My friends. Its true that they say, 'friends are the family you get to choose' and when push comes to shove... I have truly beautiful friends!

    What are you thankful for??

    Ive been doing a lot of reading on how to build and keep a relationship strong/fun/solid/exciting/honest. There are so many interesting and funny sites where people have shared real advice and I feel as though Ive learnt a lot already. I stumbled across a married man by the name of 'M'..his blog keeps me in stitches as I read through the ups, downs and in-betweens of his 3 year marriage. He writes that there are 5 things that women need to hear to fall and stay in love (when I read the title, I secretly changed the idea that a man has finally figured women out).

    1. I think you're beautiful
    2. I'm listening
    3. It's going to be alright
    4. What can I do to help

    5. I love you


    I swear that my jaw fell to the ground... how spot on is he! Crazy!

    So I pose this question to you, my faithful readers, give me your tips on how to keep a relationship strong/fun/solid/exciting/honest!!!!

    2. Sometimes no matter how much sleep I get, I am permanently tired.
    3. I have a boyf who doesn't freak out when I start my sentences with 'when we get married'
    4. I am way more excited about the gym than I first thought I would be.
    5. When a store has a "back in 5 minutes" sign up its often a lie
    6. Picnic dates should be a monthly must.
    7. A good cup of coffee can save the day.
    8. (Apparently) I am a total control freak.

    {come live in my heart and pay no rent}

    I am now the proud owner of these 2 pairs of uh-mazing shoes.

    I can't believe that it's already April... where has this year gone?? This year so far has been so beautiful, I am almost waiting for the other shoe to drop and it to all fall apart...(but that's the pessimistic Britt coming out)

    On another note, the boyf and I have been invited to a Barbie and Ken theme party. I personally don't think that any woman over the dress size of 8 wants to dress up and parade herself around this unrealistic perception of what a real woman should look like...Nevertheless, I have decided to think outside the box... and then it hit me....Vintage Barbie....all of a sudden, I am excited about this party (if for nothing more than seeing the Boyf with a comb over)

    I welcome your ideas and pictures.

    Happy Thursday. xo

    lovely lovely

    Ok ok, as most of you know I am obsessed with a few things- houses/ decor and reality television shows. If you put the two together what do you get....Tori Spelling's house. Now I understand that she comes off sometimes as an overindulged LA princess but boy is she one heck of a decorator!! I adore this house!

    ladies and gentlemen..

    Introducing my Boyf. I love love love this picture of him.. I think he is the perfect balance between Superman and dial-a-geek!

    This man plays video games that play themselves, fixes my dad's computer, eats sushi with me 1200 times a week, sends me nice emails, plans for our future, holds my hand, is under the illusion that I have blonde 'moments' (more like decades), loves my family, downloads television shows, feeds me when I'm cranky, listens when I'm being unreasonable, books my car in for wheel alignments and above all, he makes me laugh.

    I could go on and on and on and on, but for today, HE is what Im thankful for.
    What are you thankful for?
    Happy Monday

    3 Things Im Thankful For.

    I realised this week that I whinge too much. I don't always appreciate what I have like I should, I take life and love for granted. But lets face it, we all do.

    So, to change this, I have added a new regular post (inspired by a beautiful email sent to me from the Boyf) '3 things Im thankful for'...

    1. I am thankful for my family. They are wonderfully supportive and encourage me to pursue all that life has to offer.
    2. I am thankful for those sticky velcro things that allow me to put up art and my framed travel photos on the wall with having to use a hammer. I am thankful that I have travel photos.
    3. I am thankful for my body type. Although I think it will be something that I battle with forever (as all women do), deep down, I love my curves and my womanliness.

    What are you thankful for?

    Oscars 2010

    Rachel is so much fun, I love the colours and the design of this dress.
    I love this look on Sandra.
    She looks really comfortable and glamourous all at the same time.
    Perfect! Love the colour on her!

    I always love what Maggie wears, she is so quirky and fun.
    I am in love with the fabric of this dress!

    I think this may just be my favourite dress for 2010. Its so clean and chic... Love her hair and makeup too!!
    Cameron looked so beautiful in this wedding dress worthy gown. I havent seen her
    look this glamourous on the red carpet in awhile.

    "She's beautiful. She's amazing. She takes my breath away,
    Sometimes I look at her and I do, I just lose my breath"
    -Jesse James.
    This made my heart melt. Hopefully each and everyone of us are lucky enough to have someone in our lives who feels this way about us.
    Happy Wednesday.
