ON POWDERED GROUND

Don't you just love it when you find something new that you probably never would have discovered during your everyday life? I was feeling sorry for myself (you know because I'm a big baby) and laying in bed watching a movie called 'The Truth About Emmanuel" - it was a lovely bittersweet movie and I highly reccommend it. Anyway, when the credits rolled and absolute angel started singing so I had to find out who it was.

The angel was Agnes Obel, an amazing singer/songwriter from Denmark and the song was "On Powdered Ground". The song is so beautiful and serene, it reminds me of how still and calm things are on an early morning in Autumn, when the sun shines and the birds sing freely with no one around to disturb them. Hence the pictures of me looking all tired because it was a little early for Gemma.

Please give the song a listen and let me know what you think? I've become a big fan of her ethereal songs and beautiful piano compositions and makes such a wonderful change to all that drum n' bass I'm assaulted with everywear I go.

THE LOVE AFFAIR CONTINUES

It's no secret that I am a big fan of leopard print, the problem is that prostitutes also seem to be a fan of leopard print, well that's what the movies tell me anyway. So I always try to wear my leopard print in a way that doesn't scream 'Street Walker'. I think my keeping it to one leopard print item per outfit you are pretty safe to walk the street without being offered money for unspeakable acts.

This H! by Henry Holland dress is one of my all time favourites, which was bought for my by my boyfriend last year for my 30th birthday. It has such a flattering fit, even with my rather large behind, and has the cute front pockets which I love. It nips in on the perfect spot on the waist and looks just as good with a relaxed shirt underneath.

POLKA DOTTY

The first thing I want to say, is thank you to all those lovely lovelies that were so supportive over my Cognitive Behavior Therapy worries, I had my first phone appointment yesterday and it went well. Still I have to say that I am pretty nervous about confronting my fear head on, but I know now that it is the best thing for me to move on.

So now that's out the way we can get back to something a little more light-hearted. I have loads of outfit posts backed up but I thought I would show you the dress I wore for Christmas day, which I also wore to do head to Wagamama for some foodie delights. The dress is from Glamorous and I was lucky to pick it up half price in the Triple S sale, just before Christmas...Happy Days!

For a casual date night, I teamed it with my old faithful converse and H! by Henry Holland biker jacket...

Isn't the dress cute as a button, I just love it and it's a big plus that it is versatile so I can get a lot of wear out of it since a big writing contract came to an abrupt end...no spending for Gemma now! Least I did well in the sales and for Christmas.

So anyway, I'm interested to know what you guys wore over the festive period, put your links below so I can check them out.
