Vintage Romola

Ever since watching the excellent mini-series The Crimson Petal and the White, I've been a little bit (okay, a lot) obsessed with Romola Garai. She always seems to play interesting characters with impeccable style, and I just think she's just beautiful.

The costume/period drama geek in me is going to take inspiration from Romola's gorgeous styling in Brit thriller Glorious 39.

The hair, the hats, the red lips! It's all perfect.

To my numero uno blog fan,

I just found this picture from many moons ago and it made me laugh, a LOT. I think this nicely sums up our four years at uni, don't you?

White Space

I'm moving into an apartment with a lot of white walls soon and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by our lack of art. We left everything in Scotland, you see. ANYWAY, like I need an excuse to drool over prints from Keep Calm Gallery. Here are the latest ones to catch my eye...

Wordy

I loved this post about the 100 most beautiful words in the English language. A few that stood out for me:

• Ailurophile: A cat-lover (meeeeee)
• Inglenook: A cosy nook by the hearth
• Mellifluous: Sweet sounding

and,

• Tintinnabulation: Tinkling

I adore learning new words (it must be the journalist in me). Do you have any favourites?
