Oh Joshua, so hot.
He always looks so handsome!
Diane Kruger is gorgeous and they look like a lovely couple but I wish Katie Holmes was hanging off his arm instead!
Pacey and Joey!!

Oh Topshop.....
I never thought I'd want yellow shoes but they look so cute with the little silk dress!
And the floral flats are adorable. I don't quite know why I want leather boots in April, but I do!
Thank God they deliver to France.

WOW.

Nobody is perfect.
Nobody has a perfect life.
If ever I feel sorry for myself, I think long and hard and realise how lucky I am.
The stupidity and immaturity of people is overwhelming.

Rant Over.

The next few days will consist of DVDs, good books, May Vogue, Lavender Tea, Minstrels, quality time with my mama, and possibly shopping. More likely to be window shopping as I feel yukky.

I signed up to the Irish equivalent of Netflix. There are 39 movies in my queue. I have a lot of films to see.
Any suggestions?

I must have this. I wish American Vogue didn't cost so much.
Admittedly the British one is far superior
but I have a love/hate relationship with Gwennie.
Lately it's been more love than hate.
The dress, (de La Renta?) is fabulous!

Tracklisting for the 4th album was released yesterday..... Eeeek!

Viva La Vida

  1. Life in Technicolor
  2. Cemeteries of London
  3. Lost!
  4. 42
  5. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love
  6. Yes
  7. Viva la Vida
  8. Violet Hill*
  9. Strawberry Swing**
  10. Death and All His Friends
To say I'm excited would be an understatement. When the last album came out, I went to the midnight opening and was one of the first people in the world*** to get X&Y!
I'll be in Paris when this comes out (June 13th - In Ireland anyway) so I hope there's a smiliar event! Ah I can't wait!

*My favourite flower!
**Fave fruit!
***Albums always come out on Friday in Ireland, whereas they are released the following Mon/Tues in the UK/US respectively. Go Ireland!


I'm currently a bit obsessed with all things Ben Gibbard - Death Cab, Postal Service and Solo Stuff.
Reaction to the video for IWPYH has been a bit 'eh', but it doesn't take away from the great song.
They're have a date in Paris in mid-July so hopefully I'm going to that!

Good things are coming, and it's about time!

My blog should be called stream of consciousness, because that's all it is.
I have had so many sleepless nights lately. I find myself wide awake at 4am.
I miss Paris and I wasn't even there that long. Though there is no reason, I find myself emotionally attached to that city.










In the midst of planning a trip to NYC with my mum! She has an operation in mid April so will be recovering from that for a few weeks and then hopefully we'll go at the end of May.












I love planning my spring/summer wardrobe though. I can't get enough of gold accessories at the moment. I love its' tackiness. Gold and Navy and White! Perfect.









I watched a film called The Last Kiss the other night. It's a Zach Braff 'project' I suppose. I saw it when it came out in the cinema and hated it, but I found myself liking it this time round.
















I watched a few Audrey Hepburn films (for the millionth time) last weekend. I just adore her! She's so sweet, not to mention beautiful. It changes often, but my currant favourite is Funny Face!


I am going to try and combat this wretched insomnia with my honey & lavendar tea, old issues of Vogue and sleepy iPod playlist.
Any cures for sleepless nights are most welcome :)
