instagram + holidays = tattoo

So, it turns out, every time I go on holidays, I come back with a new tattoo.
(Newest tattoo is the bird.)

(Photo via my instagram, y'all should follow me on there.)

today you are you

Words to live by.

(Dr Seuss quote. Photo source unknown.)

Try to inspire someone today.

for claire

Wouldn't you just love to have this little guy as a buddy? For some reason, when I saw this photo, I thought of my lovely sister, Claire, which made me just a little bit more smiley.

emma watson

I have a confession to make. I have a bit of a girlcrush on Emma Watson. What can I say? The girl is stunning. She has a great sense of style, she's smart and she's funny. And to top it all off, she can act! Oh, Hermione Granger is all grown up.

edinburgh, my love

This is The Red Door Gallery. It's on Victoria St in Edinburgh, and is one of my favourite stores in the world. Everything in it is just lovely. Ah, it makes me smile just to think about it. If you ever get the chance, go there!

gorgeous.

Everything about this photo makes me happy. One, her hair. Two, the clothes. Three, Spain; I love Spain.

Seriously lovely photos by Stephanie Alves. For some reason, they make me feel summer-y.

Loverly.

How simply lovely is this photo? Joyful!

with a floral scarf.

This is me. Happy on a Thursday afternoon.

I honestly think that Gemma Arterton may be the most beautiful person on the planet.

Seriously, isn't she just delightful? (Happy, jealous, etc)

who knows?

I haven't posted for a few days (I'm sorry!) but I will post more over the weekend, maybe if I have the time.

In the meantime, here are a few photos that I love;

Gorgeous clothes in a gorgeous city, make me feel adventurous and luxurious.

My dream house. I feel homely and warm inside just looking at this photo. Lovely.

fresh as a daisy

It's amazing what the little things can do to make a good day better.

A few short hours ago, I was feeling tired after a long, but good day at work. After an hour of a fun exercise DVD, including aerobics and yoga, and a (too long) shower, I'm exfoliated and shaved, my hair is washed and brushed, my belly is feeling a little flatter, and my mood is a little brighter too.

Now I'm off to paint my nails and sit down to watch the newest episode of Castle. (The gorgeous Nathan Fillion & Stana Katic can't hurt either.)

pastels.

Instagram makes me feel artistic.

oh nostalgia

This photo makes me feel nostalgic. And happy. And a little bit Scottish.

Photo taken by me, in Edinburgh, in July of this year.
