A new day :-)

Thinking of a new house ?

I think one day .... just one day ... i'd like a house decorated just like this! 
Colourful, yet stylish and elegant!
 

Prezzies and more prezzies .........

Well what can i say - 1 word - SPOILT! 

To start i got the most amazing DKNY Charm Watch, body shop goodies (which i love) and a beautiful recipe stand which i think is lovely! Such a suprise!!! 

I'm very fond of body shop goodies :-)

Beautiful watch which i cannot wait to wear - just have to have some links taken out first!



And the gifts certainly did not end there - i got Pandora bracelets from my parents, DKNY perfume from my brother, amazing Biggie Best cushion from Rach - had been eyeing it out for a long time, the cutest 'chocolate fund' piggy bank from Deena and Gavin at work and sweeties, more smellies and i think i'll stop here as the list can go on and on! 

We celebrated my Birthday at Bombay Bicycle in Kloof Street. A fab place and vibe - i would highly recommend it! I shared a starter and had the tastiest pear and gorgonzola salad, finishing off with a candle lit chocolate brownie! WOW! 

Not the greatest shot - but you can feel the fab atmosphere!!
