The Green Thumb

Flowers In Bloom

For the last nine months my mother and I have been in gardening mode. I recently had my small courtyard re-landscaped so keeping the plants alive and thriving has been a challenge. I'm no green thumb but thankfully my mother is a horticulturist, landscaper, and plant whisperer in disguise. Talk about wonder woman! We spent our whole Sunday afternoon plant positioning, replanting, and weeding. Well, to be honest, mum did. I learnt that I was great at supervising and daydreaming about what this will all look like in spring.

Here's a sneak peak {have you noticed how beautiful the colours blend together in flowers? I'm not surprised to see so many floral prints in both today's streetstyle and runway trends}

Going to the Chapel of Love

I love a weekend wedding. 
The anticipation and excitement that leads up to it. The preparation and organisation. The event itself. 
Overall it's an absolute celebration of love; between friends, lovers & soul mates. 
There's only one bad thing about weddings - the party eventually comes to an end. 
Here's to the next...

"we were given two hands to hold. two legs to walk. two eyes to see. two ears to listen. but why only one heart? because the other was given to someone else. for us to find."
