Sparkle like diamonds in the sky.......

My life seems to have passed by to quickly since my last post in JULY!  I've traveled, celebrated love with friends, struggled with career decisions, enjoyed success with my jewelry & started a full time job I love.  

Now I am trying to find a balanced routine after months of new beginnings & finally blog again.  So when I received my email about this Friday Fancies being about Sparkles I knew it was time to jump back into blogging.  Nothing like some glitter to get this Spice Girl wannabe excited.

I can't get over this dress.  It really is the perfect combination of glamour & innocence.  I honestly want to wear this to every event the whole month of December & wouldn't care who judged me.

I have spent most of 2012 coveting bloggers top knots & raged with jealous when looking at Pinterest.  Finally my hair is long enough to join this party late & I love the idea of a bun with a high neckline.

How amazing are these Lanvin shoes? The contrast between the nude and coffee adds richness to my look & I am OBSESSED with the sole, what a fun surprise.  To tie all the pieces together a deep lip color ready to pout for the cameras.

Finally completed unrelated have you seen the new Maroon 5 video Daylight? When I thought I could love them more, the released an emotional, honest & inspiring video & I fall deeper.  

Enjoy!!

Blogging

I have come to really enjoy blogging about my life and the things I love in fashion and travel.  Lately, I have been thinking about how I want to be more open on my blog on a personal level and that thought lead to another. Is anyone even reading my blog? 

I get a few random comments here and there and have a few followers who aren't obligated friends, but I just wonder, do people enjoy my blog?  I decided to look into the Blog Stats and see how many people were taking a peek.  I was hesitant at first to look, what if only my Mum was reading? would I be so disappointed that I would stop writing my blog? I decided that either way I would continue to blog, cause I do enjoy it.

After viewing the stats I have to say I am pleasantly surprised, the numbers aren't huge but more than I expected which is great and certainly helped my insecurity.

I am going to put more time into my blog and be more open about the good and the bad in my life and growing my business.  If you are following me along the way I thank you.  Please leave me a comment saying hello sometime to appease my insecurities :)

Living life with Intention: Let go and be Open.

a spot of tea...

I am not sure how to start out my blog,  I have so many ideas of things I would love to write about, from fashion to travelling to memories. I have a feeling my blog is going to be quite random.  I will start of with a little about me.

First off you should know that I actually don't like tea at all but thought the name was cute for a blog.  I know weird, I'm British and don't like tea. 

So you already know I am British, what else?  Well I have lived in America since I was 17.  I am a 90's Pop Child who will always have love for the Spice Girls.  I am a fashionista wannabe, who can't bring herself to be daring with clothes!  I am an amateur make up artist, which means I buy lots of make up and sometimes practice on friends :).  I work in the corporate world and dream of my handmade jewelry making me millions, positive thinking works right? I am a part time traveller, wannabe jet setter.  A Bravo reality TV show junkie, candy lover, coca-cola addict.  I have champagne taste with a beer budget.  I am random thinker and self proclaimed detective.  I am possibly a social media addict, and cannot be without my phone, isn't that sad? I am shy and insecure at time and other outgoing and confident.  I know who I am or should say who I want to be and am ready to work on myself and my life to be the best friend, sister and daughter I can be.

YAY I've actually started my blog!
