Home Sweet Home Again!


Three weeks is a very long time to be away from your own deliciously comfy bed and hopping about the country. My trip to Colorado with the boyfriend was delightful, but it made my poor little Pisces fish bowl all shook up. In another day or two I'll post bunches of gorgeous photos I took, but for now I'm just relishing the fact that I'm snuggled in my own bed. So to keep you and me occupied til' then, here's a Curious Tuesday brought to you by Gala Darling*!


1. What is your style direction for the upcoming season?
I'm still debating! Sadly it will probably end up being recycled things from every season in my life, but maybe I'll come back to this question and do some research. All I know now is that I was comfy, cute, and unique.
2. What is your favourite song right now?
I'm really enjoying the new Paramore song they're playing, The Only Exception. I still really need to buy that CD, but I don't know if that's really my favourite. I just finally (!) found all of my CD's that I had hidden from myself during the move, so more than likely I'll be have old-new favourites in another week or so.
3. What’s your best love advice?
Just believe in your feelings and in your heart. Don't let anyone come between what you think might be love, life's too short for that. One of my favourite TV show quotes came from Cupid (which went off the air too soon): "Life is complicated. Love is simple." It's totally absolutely the truth. When you find love, don't overanalyze it and don't make it difficult.
4. Who is the most exciting person you’ve met recently?
Well I didn't technically meet her, but she had such an impact on me I have to say it was the adorable elderly woman on the bus back to Nederland from Boulder. She was Italian but spoke Irish and her English was beautiful. She was so well-spoken and made me want to travel the world and live a life like she had. She was vivacious and enthralling.
5. Are you doing anything wonderful this week? What is it?
 Not that I'm aware of. I've been doing wonderful things the last three weeks, so this week has become a lazy, run errands week. I need to schedule in some wonderful!
X's and O's forever mon petite chou chou's! 

*And just so you're aware, Gala Darling is doing an ah-mazing Podcast series called Love & Sequins. They're $12 a pop or $84 if you buy the entire series, but they're definitely worth every cent. She's already on Number 10 but I only just picked up Number 1 a day ago and boy am I in lurve. Her advice (and adorable accent!) are top notch.
