Music! Music makes the world go round. It connects people. For this V-Day post I collaborated with Thom from The Thomblr as I wanted to select eclectic love songs that would appeal to both genders... I hope you agree :) Only five days to go! x.

Michael Fassbender on what he looks for in a woman:
"Intelligence, self-confidence in one's own skin. If a girl is slightly overweight or, you know, if she's comfortable in herself, living life the way she wants to live it, I find that sexy and attractive. If somebody is the perfect mould, but she's not enjoying herself, then I find it sad, and unsexy."  Via.

Swoon. Happy Friday!

I never used to like Keira Knightley (she really irritated me in 'Love Actually') until I watched 'Last Night'. It sounds silly but it was as if she had matured in the film. Off screen and on the red carpet, she has never put a foot wrong - her clothes, shoes, hair and make-up are always well executed. Yes, it helps to be blessed with beautiful genes and employ the help of fantastic stylists but I strongly believe that confidence and comfort (mixed with a little grace) is key... If you feel great, you look great! x.

As Valentine's Day is approaching, I thought I'd start a special series called, "In the mood for..." where I will post about a particular theme that is associated with luuuurve. I'm beginning with food as I think it's safe to say that many of us can easily relate to it and hold the belief that the way into one's heart is through one's belly :) What a sweet and satisfying thought! x.

What's more romantic than sharing a bowl of spaghetti with the one you adore?

Love comes in many different forms. Think of Bruce Bogtrotter from Roald Dahl's novel, Matilda. The boy loved chocolate cake so much he finished an entire one on his own!

Whether you're standing outside the store you love or lying in bed with the one you love, what better way to start the morning than with a warm pastry?
