Bows

A bow to brighten up your day

I can admit I do have an obsession with bows, mainly in my hair. I have a collection of vintage scarf's and these always end up in my hair tied in a bow!

Looking something like this:

I also have a bow tattoo on my left wrist

Love

Why Love?

The Iconic LOVE key ring modelled by Jennifer Hudson from the Sex and the City film. To have and to hold the key ring is to believe in Love, knowing it will find you one day or you will find it

Love in Fashion 

Top Shop: £12 

River Island Ring £4

Office:  Necklace 

Me: Heart motif T-Shirt with open back: New Look

I have the word tattooed on the back of my neck:

Many people have asked why LOVE? I believe writing letters is romantic, Love is..... until you are truly in Love or have been in Love I don't think you can ever begin to imagine the feeling of It's powerful entity, it consumes you and overpowers you. I wasn't in Love when I had this written on my neck but I had it written to ensure I don't stop believing. Love isn't something you should be cynical about regardless of the fact you maybe unlucky, because one day you will find it or it will find you, and in my case when your not looking!
