Seen as though its getting warmer I think we need to bring out the ice cream moulds and start making LOTS of our own ice lollies :) and this book has pages and pages of AWESOME ideas and crazy delicious recipes I wish I could just spoon out of the page. YUM!

While you make and eat your ice cream you can wear this gorgeous stripey bow headband.. and go out and ride bikes or something (I wish) :) sound delightful?

you can win these items and possibly an extra mystery prize just by commenting on this post and telling me what the most AWESOME icecream flavour in the world is (existing or yet to be invented) and i’ll pick a winner on monday the 13th! super easy hey. good luck!

i’m back!

After much playing around with wordpress i have my new blog look! yay! (Thank you dylan) I’ve missed blogging so much. I haven’t felt like a creative at all without it, especially cause this is probably one of the most exciting times of my life and I can’t share my ideas, they’re all just going into a folder gathering pixelated folder dust.. anyway. i’m back and can’t wait to show you some more travel pics of paris and london and obviously a bit of wedding inspiration too!

I’m in a very sailor phase of my life, mostly because i’m going to become Emma-Jane Harbour (AWESOME!) on the 8th of January! awoo :) and just cause i’m loving everything blue and stripey.. I can’t help it, if its blue. if its stripey I gotta have it…

Another thing is that i’m getting married! YAY. in Janaury! :) so weddings plans are in full swing.. I’m going to leave you with a few pictures of the cherry blossom girl, she just got married and I think her dress and photos are just BEAUTIFUL!

Eiffel Tower+diamond ring=happy me!

Ok, so I know I have millions of other posts waiting to happen but this one is pretty important.

After an early morning breakfast picnic by the eiffel tower, dylan got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! and I said YES! :) (obviously) haha. he even put a timer on his camera to capture the moment so this first photo is my totally unadulterated surprised face!

Afterwards dylan took me shopping on the champs elysees for a new dress so we could celebrate the evening in style at a fancypants restaurant called il vino (more to come on the eve in a later blog)  We had such a nice day shopping, drinking espressos at a real french cafe and eating macaroons from Laduree.

I can’t believe how lucky I am. Dylan I love you! Thank you for making it soo special. Can’t wait to marry you!

i’m soo behind!

Oh my word. Being a travelpants has caused me to become waaaay behind in blogging. I have done too many nice things that I honestly don’t know where to start. My boyfriend arrived on Saturday so we’ve been going around non stop to so many places, showing him all my favorite things. and tomorrow we’re off to Paris. So I’ll have to catch up with everything when I get back. awooooo! Pareeeeeee… :)

I’ve been looking for anchor necklaces and nautical related items for such a long time and London is like sailor crazy! :) I even got my little niece in on the action.. I bought her this sweet little tennis dress from Zara Baby. Man! I wish I could buy her all the little mini fashion items. tooo sweet to bear!

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters

bunting

There you can get books and music you wouldn’t get in normal shops, cameras, jewellery and very interesting pretty clothes. The price tag isn’t so cool (because they say most clothes are “vintage” or made from vintage material) so i didnt buy anything. but i WAS lucky to find out that Petticoat Lane – a Sunday Market has a stall which sells overstock clothes from Urban Outfitters for a 1/4 of the price! So I found these dresses – in the shops 48 pounds. at the market 9 pounds! :) score!
