For a long time now I’ve been meaning to upgrade from a point and shoot camera to a DSLR in my goals to learn to take more professional-looking photos with a larger variety of advanced settings and options to get creative with and play with.

I was researching which DSLR cameras received good reviews on Amazon.com and came across this:

With all the beautiful, hot weather we’ve been having lately, it’s put me in a summer holiday mood. And summer holidays make me think of tropical paradises and girls wearing Plumeria flowers Hawaiian style in their hair! And all that got me out looking for plumeria flower hair clips. (more…)

I just found out you can get pink staples for all your stapling needs! Neat!

Lace is a beautiful thing. Delicate, intricate and definitely oh so girly!

A white lace pattern on an iphone case can give a really pretty, shabby chic, vintage girly twist to a modern gadget. Some lace iphone cases, particularly the black ones can also have a hint of sexy burlesque.

Here is a selection of some of my favorite designs for lace iphone cases. (more…)

For my last birthday my brother got me these hot pink earphones (dB Logic EP-100 Earbud Headphones); a good gift for someone who loves music like I do. And they really are excellent earphones.

One problem though is that if you listen to music a lot like me, you may find yourself getting your earphone cables in a tangle occasionally. One way to solve this is with a cord manager, and when I was shopping around for cable tidy solutions, I was delighted to see that you can get some really cute ones! I wanted to share with you some of the cutest earphone winder devices and other related cable winders I found to help you wind up your excess cables whilst you’re using them and when you roll them up tidily after using them too.

Hearts always remind me of love and romance. With so many positive connotations to them, perhaps it’s easy to understand why so many girls (me included!) love hearts and heart patterns.

If you’re looking for a heart backpack, here are some designs available on Amazon.com: (more…)

Ever since the TV program Dancing with the Stars started being screened (or as it’s known in the UK, Strictly Come Dancing), a little seed was planted in me that thought: “That looks like fun!” Seeing the girls whirling around so gracefully and smoothly across the dance floor, dressed with the most beautiful clothes I’ve seen in a long time really made me want to have a go at this art of dance too. I shared this desire with my best friend who was also a fan of the show and we resolved to learn to dance ballroom together.

Shortly after making the resolution we went to a class together, but came away a bit disillusioned. Although it was a beginner’s class, everyone there seemed to know a lot more than us and we felt a bit like we had a tough time keeping up. Not only that, but since there were about 10 girls more than boys, it meant that as dance partners were rotated to let everyone have a go with a partner, I kept having to wait around until there was a free partner to dance with! In the end I think I spent more time in the lesson waiting for a partner than actually dancing. Suffice it to say, we didn’t particularly want to go back the following week. But the desire to learn was still there.

Last month it was my friend’s birthday and as I was considering which birthday presents to get him, our resolution to learn to dance popped into my mind, and suddenly I knew what I’d get him: A ballroom dancing DVD so that we could both learn to dance together at our own pace! (more…)
