I am one single grain of sand.

Monday always feels like the longest day ever. I just come home and want to crawl straight into bed! Quick blog post today as I'm feeling under the weather and want to get on with reading my latest book (Caitlin Moran's How To Be a Woman) and having a large cup of tea.

The Oscars Red Carpet Arrivals dominated Twitter last night as everyone gushed about the beautiful dresses and stunning celebrities. I've played catch up today and found four of my favourite looks to share. If I'm being honest then I think I actually chose these dresses because of the colours rather than anything else. I also like that the celebrities wearing them look closer to real women than some of the other scarily sculpted and waxy looking ladies who turned up. So here are the looks I liked:


Kristen Wiig in J. Mendel. I am in love with the nude colour and dark nails.

Penelope Cruz wearing Armani Privé - I love this lavender blue colour. Very fairytale!
Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab- one shouldered, shimmery glam!

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa - one of my favourite designers. I love the intricate gold pattern around the middle.

The title of this post relates to the album I've been listening to recently. Colour the Small One by Sia is absolutely beautiful. The perfect chill out album after a hard day.

Dress to impress: Next

Just a quick post after doing my daily pretend online shop. If I actually bought all of the things that I wanted then I would be in some serious debt! Luckily I'm quite restrained and will only buy something if I keep thinking about it and know that it will definitely get lots of use. I use my blog to kind of bookmark things I've seen and then if I'm looking for something similar I can just look back through things I've already seen.

My favourite five from Next at the moment are all dresses. I really like the tea dresses with the cute prints. I can definitely imagine myself wearing the apple print dress in springtime with some sandals. The blue lace dress would work for day and night so I'd love to own that one.



























I went into Next the other day for a look around and saw some pretty jumpers and cardigans. I'm still in winter mode at the moment so I was tempted to buy a camel coloured top. I held back so that I can spend more on a nice summer wardrobe! Hurry up summertime. I miss having a tan!
