This morning I’ll be mainly cooing and sighing over the dresses that I spied, and the catwalk magic of the White Gallery, I used to dream of living in IKEA; a different fake room to live in each night and Swedish meatballs for dinner… but neigh (see what I did there)….
Now I want to live in a bridal boutique each day wearing something new, flowing, lacy and marvellous, now if anyone would like me to be a live-in model; you can pay me in dress fittings and the chance to saunter around in gowns and I am all yours!
True + Dat
Today’s is a True + Dat in a poster sized variety – and if you want some sexy prints with which to adorn your walls you can always pick up pieces of pretty from Hello Lover. Today, is all about the Tao of Nat King Cole… pull out your best moves, face the music and dance; and while you’re at it view a visual compendium of Old Hollywood footloose and fancy free magic.

Angelina Jolie, not deifying her, or comparing her to anyone else but her diginity and the way she has handled this despite being in the public eye is incredible. Read her and the stories of all the other women on the Pink Lotus Breast Center site.

Welcome to Monday *fingers crossed that the sun stays out* – the first cup of coffee is going down sweet, and now comes to the time of the day where I share a few minor details, links, tidbits and whatnots.
As, you may or may not know I had the chance to attend the incredible Pronovias 2014 First Love Show (my mind is still a bit blown that I was allowed in!) – But one of the other lovely things that I wanted to share is that Pronovias have launched their new Atelier Backstage blog, and I am one of the bloggers/ love hunters who will be contributing to the site. You can seem my little face as captured by Lisa Jane: Photographer there!
I will also have a little write up on the amazing show and backstage insight coming to you soon!
So that brings us onto the True + Dat
I was watching my SATC boxset for the millionth time, and I was watching the one with Brady’s first birthday and the infamous Samantha’s fouffe incident and one of the things that stuck out for me is Elizabeth Taylor’s words. ‘Now is the time for guts and guile’
There are phonecalls that we don’t want to make, emails we don’t want to send, words that we don’t want to say – but sometimes you just need to find some strength , smarts, guts, and gumption and to that thing which seems the most difficult to do at the time. You’re smarter and stronger than you think!
We just can’t get enough of the gorgeous Kerry Washington (nor can El Presidente) we need to get some Scandal in our lives.

We are back to Monday with is deliciously and lovely, and this is mainly due to the fact that it is blue sky beautiful this morning! Like Roy Ayers said ‘Everybody loves the sunshine!’ I’m also back from the absolutely incredible Pronovias 2014 Fashion Show! I also had the chance to meet some absolutely incredible bloggers and I’m still coming down from my fan girl moment of being in touching distance of Amy from the fantastic Wedding Chicks.
I will have a full post to share on the show, and I will also do a little behind the scenes rundown for you too! All I can say it was epic – and the more you get to see how hard a brand or company works, it really elevates your respects and shows that behind all the tulle, beauty and creativity – an astronomical amount of hard work happens.

So, Monday begins with a touch for truth – on one of my little digital skiving one of my facebook friends shared this article about James Rhodes. So today’s true dat is find what you love and let it kill you. If my demise is going to be made of confetti, design, decadence and beauty – then I’m grateful to be having the best death ever!
This week’s crush is Jon Kortajarena, who was the very handsome surprise at the end of the Pronvias 2014 show. More on that and him later!

Today is Monday Fun day and the fact there is a blue sky and a few minor tufts of white candy floss clouds dotting the sky – means that is all kinds of good in my neighbourhood. So, I hope you are up and at ‘em as this is the point where I throw a few bits of goodness at you on a Monday.
Oh, and if you fancy winning something once again – check on the Nüdwear contest, as you can get some great wedding underwear it is all kinds of seamless perfection, just in time for the start of wedding season! There are three goodie bags worth £75 up for grabs AND it is an international contest. So even if you aren’t in Blighty you can be a winner!
So… nothing like a bit of wallpaper to get you all inspired… it’s back… it is a bit of true + dat wisdom, also if you want a daily dose of quote you should head over to the lovely Kelly of Boho Weddings and Events – She has a 365 days of quotations project going on, I do like a good quote I do.
So what is today’s wisdom for you… it is a bit of screensaver delight and my personal favourite prayer other than the lottery prayer ‘May to be filled with awesome’ St Peter said it… you can download that to make your computer screen jazzy. Various sizes below!
So, normally it would be girl crush… but today I will indulge in a crush. Why hello there Henry Cavill… the Great Gatsby might be the big wedding inspiration movie of the year… personally, if given a choice between Baz or Mr Kent… I’d rather make a soup of popcorn and drool over Henry Cavill! *big grin*
So, quote, crush ticked of this morning’s blog list so it brings us to link love time.
