London Bloggers

There was a blogger meet-up in London over at the Hummingbird Bakery, so I thought I would briefly pop over just to say hi to everyone. Finally, one pair of new shoes later and a couple failed attempts at finding Jill we finally arrived. It was great meeting all the girls and I have to say Carrie did a lovely post describing the afternoon and all the bloggers present that day, I couldn't have said it better. I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon talking politics, holidays, and counterfeit shoes with fellow friend and blogger Jill who is the creator and author behind PolkaDot. Always with her camera at hand ready to immortalise what catches her eye, she snapped a few pictures of me and has actually made a lovely post here. I wanted to share with you her amazing work so I have added a few of my favourite shots.

P.S: Thank you Thank you for your hundreds of Birthday wishes! you have no idea how touched I am, since this morning I have been replying Thank You's but I am not complaining one bit, they are all worth the time. As this is my first birthday as a blogger I really didn't quite know what to expect (actually I wasn't expecting anything) but I sure didn't expect so many thoughtful wishes in so many different places. So Thank you to my Twitter followers, Facebook 'likers' and all the emails and comments; THANK YOU!!

P.P.S: Just a quick reminder, that Philippe Audibert's huge sale on their e-boutique is still in progress. You can have 40% off the entire boutique with the special code "PA0710PE", until June 20.

Inspiration comes mostly from others not from ourself, and anyone who tells you they are never inspired by others is probably not being completely honest with you. Why am I telling you this, because this was partly the reason why I started this blog, so many of you, yes you out there, inspired me in one way or another or just simple gave me a good idea at some point. And you have to believe me when I told ou that every picture that I ever spend more han 5 seconds looking is saved in Iphoto. Wich brings me to today's post and title. When I was looking through my collection of 'inspiration pictures' I came across these two, I just think it is great that two ladies living in different parts of the world managed to get up one morning and dress almost identical. You have got to love the blogosphere for this.

On a trend subject, it looks like peach/pink is the colour to go to this Summer in terms of jackets. I am still not quite sure what I would look like wearing peach but I think it might soon be time to find out as I am increasingly loving this trend.
