Monday musings: letter to life online.

Dear World Wide Web,

Sometimes I curse the day you were born.

When you stop working - and you like to out in the countryside a lot - I feel like the world as I know it, has ended.

I panic, that I might not be able to instantly check out the weather tomorrow, or what time the film starts at the cinema, or what Katy Perry just tweeted out 3.5 seconds ago.

There are times when I cower in fear at the thought of never again receiving a real, hand written letter - and will forever be reading text off a screen. Libraries will become dusty relics, and books just musty memories.

But then, I remember, that you allow me to speak to my cousins in California in the middle of the night so I can tell them I love them.

I can remind my girlfriends, who live too far way for a quick coffee, that they look beautiful in their profile photo on facebook.

I can create connections with people all over the world through blogging, photography, art, forums, fan sites and fashion portals.

I can buy, and sell, and learn, and laugh at what you have to show me.

So I remind myself, it's all about balance.

Love from Nicki

Today I am mostly loving.....

Birds.

Beautiful birds that fly gracefully over your car as you drive home, winding down the country lane.

That sit, all knowing, all still, on the bare trees outside my window.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

~ Chinese proverb

Let's go Gaga. Really Gaga.

I have been thinking very, very seriously about this for some time.

I'm considering writing to the government to suggest that we have a new national holiday introduced, worldwide.

We shall call it....

GaGa.

One day of the year, when it is absolutely normal, nay - necessary to dress a'la GaGa for a whole day, and not be arrested/mocked/fired/dumped/feared for it.

Can you imagine rocking up to your office with a face full of pearls?

Strolling round your local market head to toe in red lace?

We, as the general public deserve this right. I'm sure of it.

Who's with me?

food phobias and fetishes

So, I'll admit, I have been known to like the odd combination of food in my own little eccentric way...

But I'm sure I'm not the only one with these bizarre personal behaviours towards certain foods....

I CANNOT eat mashed potato on its own...

I ADORE Ovaltine powder sandwiches....

and I CANNOT, WILL NOT ever lick the yoghurt on the yoghurt lid. It's just - plain-wrong. k?

Care to share any of your food fears or fancies?!

working weekend

My diploma calls - and I'm off to the big city for an intensive study weekend folks, though I'm certain 'study' and 'weekend' should not belong in the same sentence.

Slight contradiction....

....bit like this photo.

Whatever you're up to - have a good'un!!

wishful thinking

Seriously wishing this photo was my life right now.

sigh.

Thai temptation

Am now embracing a new love affair with Thai food after my first official evening at a local Thai restaurant.

After a feast and several rounds of Jasmine tea - I practically floated home on the flavours.

Are you a fan?

yum yum.

Another very vintage weekend

What are your weekend plans?

I'm in full vintage mode again this weekend.

Attending a 1940's themed event (Don't you just love 40's fashion?!) on Saturday .....

.....and appearing at a vintage fair on Sunday.

Whatever you do - have a fantabulous weekend.

(is that even a word? well - it is now!)

much love

xx

I'm all ears....

So I'm currently in love with sweet Swedish songstress Lykki Li.

You might know her song 'possibility' from the film New Moon -
(the hypnotic scene where time is passing by as Bella is left alone in her chair, staring out the window?!)

Her songs are so dreamy, unique and beautiful.

If you get a chance, check out 'Tonight' and 'Until we bleed'.

These two tracks are seriously wearing out my repeat button!

I'm keen to discover some great new singers after my recent Lykke Li discovery-meets-obsession.

Care to recommend any? I'm all ears.....

Happy Pancake Day

Yum yum yum.

Who doesn't love pancakes?


Enjoy!

Confessions of colour

I want to, at least once in this lifetime, have a head full of flaming, red locks.

I was always jealous of everyone cooing at my sisters auburn curls when we were younger, while I yanked angrily at my own straggly mousy brown mop. (Which is now a blonde mop.)

I would love to be brave enough to just stroll into my salon and demand a red head, but alas, it is not always so simple.

There is something so strong, sexy and powerful about vibrant red hair.

It holds such significance in fairy tale stories of the past, and captures my imaginations with characters in the present.

Redophile

[Noun] "A person who is drawn to redheads, feels emotionally attached for no other reason except hair color".

Oh yes, one day, I want to have redder than red, Jessica Rabbit inspired hair. Please?

“Once in his life every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead"
