"Don't it make your brown eyes blue?" Carly Simon, Brown Eyes Blue

Bonjour darlings, hope you had a good day whever in the world you are. In Londontown today it rained. A lot. Quelle suprise. And when I got up this morning it was all horrible and dark and uninspiring and just ugh. I want summer now s'il vous plait. Don't get me wrong whilst I infinitely prefer the sun, I don't mind winter, I like wrapping up warm and hot chocolates but I only like it as long as it is proper winter if you know what I mean? All it does in English winters is rain bucketloads, no snow, no frost, just tons and tons of rain and because it's cold its the worst kind of rain that makes you get hypothermia and soaks you frozen to the skin and technically its not even winter yet. And I hate the dark mornings and nights, you just want to hibernate and stay in bed all day until winter is over. Being a squirrell has never looked so good lol.

"Hurry up and get on with the post!" I hear you fabulous people cry and far be it from me to deny my super stylish public what they want. I was tagged by the fabulous Imogen at tia-cherie who asked me to find seven blue things in my room. I admit this was a bit of a challenge. I have whites, purples and pinks in abundance but not too much blue. But somehow I managed it (I may have cheated a bit) and had so much fun rumaging, here goes:

Radio

















Jewellery Holder

















Hat Box













Electric Guitar

















Jewellery Box













Painting













Books (The Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, Les Miserables)














So now it's my turn, I'm tagging the following incredibly awesome people to find seven purple things in their rooms, you don't have to do it darlings but it might be fun:

Erika
Caroline
Phoebe Rose
Chloe
Delmy
J'aime
Tarryn
Daisy Chain

Stay safe and chic.

  7. The winter hear is basically bipolar. One day it's in the sixties the next day is in the thirties and rainy and miserable. No snow, now sign of snow, now cool, sunny days. Just a lot of dark skies! Yechhh
    And that radio is possibly the coolest radio I have ever seen in my life.
