what i hear is...

Her outfit for day two of Black Out, quite enjoying this challenge and surprised at how easy it's been so far. Initially L thought it would be tricky, giving up her "black" crutch, but surprisingly she has hardly thought about the shade. 

Please excuse the blown out, over edited, sub par photos - we're just going to pretend they're "arty" - L's camera Ra-Ra seems to be playing up and her sister has negative amounts of patience in waiting for L to fiddle with settings.

Oh and we should introduce the newest member to our little family, Theodore. L's fluffy, adorable, wants to be with her every second Pomeranian puppy. With baby Busters cats passing L's depression has been defiantly rising, high tide is always in. Already little Theodore has completely and utterly transformed L's mood, and we're only three days in. Expect a lot more photos and adventures staring this little guy.

and all the lights went out...

This week a gaggle of fashion bloggers have been challenged to ban black. Completely and utterly. Not a speck. That goes for shoes, bags, accessories - everything.

For our first outfit L decided on a pink theme, having shied away from the hue while a red head, her new sliver locks have initiated a welcome chance to wear this colour again.

Check out all the other girls participating here and you can follow all the action through the hashtags #blackout, #banningblack and #anythingbutblack through twitter and instagram.

like a shotgun, can't be outdone...

This little man is doing his best to single handedly fill the void in L's life - the giant black hole in her heart, left by her baby.

Although the relationship is not perfect - read he is owned by neighbours, his head nudges and general pluckiness has been a welcome distraction for L.

 

alive?

Early sunday morning saw L wake much earlier then usual. Groggy and barely functional she found her way "home" where her family laid plates and plates and piles of steaming breakfast foods around her.

After she gorged, she explored. Her mothers over grown garden and all its nooks and secrets enthralling her. Her sister took some time to play with L's camera settings - quite pleased with her outcome, and the blue seems to make more and more sense the more the images are looked upon.

you are magicness...

Playing paparazzi with alexis this afternoon at, and outside the daily planet.  One of those - throw on the first things you grab slash are clean - outfits. Wishing the current weather was less bi-polar. Well and truly ready for some sun.
