Friends? ^_^

So tonight I'm home alone . The little one asleep and it's only 8.00pm and I'm wondering "where are all the friends when you need them?" I do have childhood friends but our lives are so different now we hardly meet and any other "friends" I have , are just not "real" friends .A real friend is someone you can phone or msg at any time of the day just for no reason !! I need to find some new friends .. but where ?! *sigh*

Note to Self !!

Good Day!!

I Do believe in Fairies ...

My fascination for fairies has been getting to me again lately . After watching "Peter Pan" The movie , for like the billionth time [xD] , it's just one of those movies which makes me feel good =] I've come across these most beautiful photos from Salvador Pozo . They look so real ..

I just Love Love Love .. this fairy inspired look by Nina Ricci ..

In the Pink

For some time now I have been thinking of putting some pink highlights in my hair . Here are some photos I've gathered which inspire me . I'm not going to dye my whole head pink though [xD] I actually might start out with extensions just to be safe =]

The Tourist - Official Trailer (2010)

Hello to all my sweet followers and other readers too =] First of all I excuse myself for not updating for so long . Life is so hectic sometimes I hardly find time to get online .

Now if you haven't already noticed I'm in LOVE with Johnny Depp  So I am so excited and eagerly waiting for his latest movie "The Tourist" which will be out in December 2010 .. in the meantime the official trailer is out .*YAYS*
As always Johnny looks amazing , his voice makes me feel like all jellylike xD and what can I say , he is the BEST !!!!
Angelina not so much . Ok I know some might think it's jealousy bla bla , but really I never really liked her , especially since her part in the Brad and Jennifer break-up . Yep I'm a Jennifer fan and even though I can't say that Angelina isn't the beauty that she is I still can't like her much . Anyway back to topic , I really can't wait to see this one .. and also the other films which Johnny is working on   "Rango"  "The Rum Diary" and of course the much awaited "Pirates of the Caribbean: On stranger Tides" 
Here is the official trailer for "The tourist" for all you Depp Lovers out there ..
Enjoy xx

Maizie, torn between her duty as a wife and her love for Christian, realizes she is unable to leave Sam and tells Christian she is unable to run away with him. Christian, heartbroken, returns to France. But Maizie, now pregnant, still loves him. Will she find happiness again? 

Review

This being the second book I read from the same author , I absolutely Loved it !! Even more than "Flower of Scotland " . Set in Cornwall you can easily feel like you're there for everything is so well described . The characters are most lovable and once you start reading it's hard to put down . Again not a book I would recommend for early teens but otherwise its a wonderful thrilling novel and doesn't disappoint at the end . Im looking forward to reading yet another novel from Emma Blair soon for I surely will be looking out for books from this author =]

Beautiful bohemian Fashion

I'm so intrigued by bohemian and hippie style fashion and have been experimenting with different outfits lately [will post pictures in future post =] ] So what is boho fashion ?

Bohemian fashion is an artistic style of dress that many people enjoy wearing. The style varies from ethnic trends to vintage fashion, and can even include traditional hippie-style clothing. An element that most bohemian fashion wearers share is a desire to express themselves aesthetically. Most venues carry items considered acceptable for bohemian dress.

 Secondhand stores in particular often provide bohemian fashion enthusiasts with a plethora of wardrobe materials. They might find scarves, unconventional patterns, punk t-shirts, plaid skirts, sunglasses, and a variety of other items to create a unique bohemian style. A bohemian often considers his or her entire body, including its fashion elements, as a work of art.

Being a hippie I guess also means to not care whatever anyone thinks and wear however one wants !!

Flower of Scotland - Emma Blair

Summary

In the idyllic summer of 1912, all seems rosy for Murdo Drummond and his four children. Charlotte is ecstatically in love with Geoffrey; Peter prepares for the day when he will inherit the family distillery, while Andrew, gregarious and fun-loving, is already turning heads and hearts. Nell, the youngest, contents herself with daydreams of a handsome highlander. The Great War, however, has no respect for family life. As those carefree pre-war days fade, with death and devastation brought in their wake, the Drummonds are plunged into the horrors of the trenches in France. Yet those who survive discover that love can transcend class, creed, and country.

Review

Another book I picked up from the charity shop =] I liked the cover and love reading novels set in the UK (I was born there =]) . I knew it was a romance for starters but didn't actually imagine it would be so explicit , well not "shockingly" explicit but not a book I'd recommend for teens .. anyhow because I felt for the characters so much I kept on reading and really enjoyed it . Like I said I love the setting , the old British ways , I sometimes wish to have lived in that era ( as a high class obviously haha) .

I loved that the female characters came out so strong , more then the male characters .

Interesting fact  I found out that Emma Blair is actually a man Iain Blair ,  following his agents advice who said he would sell much more if he used a woman's name instead ..

So my conclusion , I actually missed reading this book when I finished (but apparently there is a sequel "Goodnight, Sweet Prince".) I give this book a 3/5 and if I saw  this author's name again on a book I'd definitely take it home with me =]

PinkPassion

Showing of my new dress =] Im totally in love with pink (hence the blog name xD) I got this dress at a sale from the local market for just €3 and yet it looks so classy . Ideal for a summer evening out ..
Talking about summer .. here it is slowly coming to an end as the winter weather is creeping in .. it rained for the first time yesterday and the air was so fresh and cool afterwards . Bliss =]

A House of Light - Candida Clark

Summary

A young photographer returns to her family house after a shocking incident: her flat and its contents have been destroyed in a fire. However, the peace and distraction she had hoped for prove hard to find. Her presence is required at her father's second wedding, and the assembling guests have secrets of their own: secrets which cast a new and terrible light not only on recent events, but on her family's history, their beautiful old house and all that she held dear.


Review

Truth is I expected it to end better. I was disappointed that the element of surprise is lost as you read because you can easily guess what "secrets" will be revealed later on . I love the cover and that's partly what made me buy this book . I also love the way its written , very descriptive and the whole setting is kind of something I like reading because its so "relaxed" . I do recommend it for a quick read but don't expect too much out of it . My rating is a  2/5 .

WTF Shoes ?!

This post needs absolutely no comment from me as the pictures say it all ... Would you dare wear them ?[ xD]

Sucky Mondays

I just get bored out of my head on Mondays . Like I have nothing to do. I already checked Facebook , E-mails and Blogger and now what ?! .. So as I am waiting for my little munchkin to wake up from dreamland I have compiled a list of things to do on boring Mondays =]

1. Go for a walk [ I know , so predictable xD ]
2. Google or Facebook search people in your street /neighbourhood/ex-bf's or gf's etc. and laugh at their pics
3. Spring clean a cupboard or desk that you've been meaning to do for ages
4. Fill up a box with clothes or stuff you've cleaned out to give to a charity shop ..
5. Organise a garage sale or sell on eBay the stuff you don't need
6. Visit an old relative like an aunt or grandma .. it will make them smile =]
7. Pamper yourself with a face mask and manicure while listening to your fave cd
8. Wash and groom your dog/cat
9. Have a friend over for a photo shoot .. put on makeup and different clothes and post on Facebook
10. Read a book - If you haven't one go buy one or lend one from the Library=D
11. Blog about how bored you are .

Any more ideas ?

Happy Monday xxx

Fang - James Patterson

Warning - Some Spoilers

Summary

FANG WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE.
For years, Max. Has been desperately on the run from evil forces trying to prevent her from her destiny to save the world--but nothing has ever rocked her world like this horrifying prophetic message. Fang is Max's best friend, her soul mate, her partner in leading her flock of winged children. A life without Fang is a life unimaginable.

Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever. But their world is turned upside-down yet again when another winged boy, the beautiful Dylan, is introduced to the flock. Raised in a lab, like the flock, he exists for only one reason: He was created to be Max's perfect other half.
Now a battle of science against soul and perfection versus passion unfolds, twists, and turns...and meanwhile, the apocalypse is coming.

AND THE ENDING WILL SHOCK YOU.

Review

Absolutely Fantastic !!!I LOVE Fang [=D] I've received the book finally , in hardback and I'm so happy with it . I was actually going to wait to read the other books from the series as I've only read the first one before it.. but how could I not take a peek haha . I was hooked from page one and couldn't put it down .
Ok so I know I missed alot by not reading the other books before but I still could understand well basically what had happened . The way the author writes is so funny at times I have to laugh out loud [xD] and guess what ? This is the firstest time in my life I have cried reading a book (how it ended) and I've read loads of books .I definitely recommend this book series to anyone both girls and guys of all ages . After this I'm eagerly waiting for the next book cos I'm so curious what will happen next ..
I wonder what will happen between Max and Fang .. will they EVER be together again ? I hope so !!
Or will Max fall in love with Dylan who is designed to be her perfect match? .. What will Angels next move be now that Max has returned as the flock leader ? I Sooo want to know [xD]
There is also an imdb profile for Maximum Ride (in development) . There aren't any actors listed though .. who would you like to see acting as your fave characters in the book ? I'm not sure really .. but Fang definitely has to be Hot [xD]
