Baby it's cold outside...

Winter is here!

Which means cute scarves, cold noses,hot water bottles, boy hugs, yuck tissues, big jackets, warm soup and ear muffs (finally, an excuse to wear them!)

Be a Cougar, It's the new Black!

The week the world disappeared ..

...I'm going through a phase...

Lets call it my 'it's raining outside so I'm watching movies in my room with tea, and I don't want to deal with the world this week' phase.

Unless I've left the house for coffee, work or the gym, almost every waking moment has been spent watching movies this past week.

(Granted it's been a hideously awful week, so I've allowed myself this brief moment of hibernation)

Movies

PJ's

Girlie catch ups

&

Chocolate

..That's all I want this week..

Amnesia, the sweet escape . . .

As I stood before you

wiser,

due to circumstance

I was still distracted, still infatuated by you..

I had forgotten how good you smelt..

how perfectly full your lips were

and how your smile made me blush

I forgot the lazy mornings and pink sunsets..

how your hand fit mine

and how nobody else mattered

..I felt myself slipping..

I forgot that you hurt me..

how naive I was

and that I needed to move on

Memories got the best of me

&

I forgot to forget you

for forgetting you is painless,

Its the remembering that hurts

. . . Amnesia would be my sweet escape . . .

Ultimate Mix Tape - Volume 1

I'm always on the prowl for the ultimate CD

The kind of CD where skipping is unnecessary because every song is your favorite.

A CD filled with mixed moods brought on by old memories..

What did I realise when I began writing?

There are WAY too many songs, and far too many era's for me to just squeeze down to 20 tracks..

So here's Volume 1:

1. Eurythmics - "Don't Ask Me Why"

2. Lenny Kravitz - "Again"
"All of my life, where have you been? I wonder if I'll ever see you again"

3. The Roots - "The Seed"
"If Mary drops my baby girl tonight, I would name her Rock-N-Roll"

4. James Morrison - "Pieces don't fit anymore"
"Well I can't explain why it's not enough,Cause I gave it all to you"













5. Corinne Bailey Rae - "Til it happens to you"
"I used to hear those violins playing our strings like a symphony "













6. Al Green - "Lets stay together"

7. John Legend - "Stay with you"
"There will be heartaches and pain, through it all, we will remain"

8. Blackstreet - "U blow my mind"

9. Des'ree - "Kissing you"

10. Diesel - "Tip of my tongue"
"Three little words that I want to say"

11. Debussy - "Clair de lune"

12. Katie Noonan - "Time to begin"

13. Sia - "Breathe me"

14. Erykah Badu - "Love of my life"
"Ooh, you know you rock my world and You be boy and I'll be girl and. . ."













15. Norah Jones - "Nearness of you"

16. Brandy - "How I feel"

17. Otis Redding - "The dock of the bay"

18. Amy Winehouse- "Valerie"

19. Coldplay - "Fix you"

20. Scarlett Johansson - "Last goodbye"
"This is our last embrace, Must I dream and always see your face? "

To do list: Ride in a Bentley - Tick

I received a phone call last week from Ivy, asking if I would be interested in having a chauffeured white Bentley pick me up and bring me to Uccello's for dinner. The offer - obviously too good to pass up - was perfect timing as it was also C's birthday that weekend. So we rounded up a few of the girlies and headed in..

As we got out of the Bentz, (I had grown fond of the Bentley during this ride and had decided we were on nickname terms) we thanked 'Daddy' for the ride, and began our night of pasta and cocktails...

Karl, we need to talk..

So...

I hear you hand picked Lilly 'Crazy Eyes' Allen to become the new face of Chanel handbags

Hmm.. Interesting choice Karl

I'm guessing this is what the new add campaign will look like..

If that doesn't scream style, grace and elegance I don't know what does!
