Starting the New Year on an optimistic vibe. Lovely sparkly things arriving in the post (the last spoils from my December shopping binge) before putting myself on a January Shopping Ban. Continuing my quest for a rose-tinted life. Beautiful pink sunsets the silver lining to dreary grey days. Lovely lazy walks along the river in Cambridge and bike rides through the tiny cobbled streets. Weekly trips to the farmer’s market for bunches of cheery (early) spring flowers to brighten my house. A fun photoshoot in London.
In the spirit of my quest for New Year organisation, evenings were frequently spent knee-deep in clothes as I sorted my wardrobe, tubs of beauty supplies and drawers of jewellery (turning up forgotten favourite treasures in the process). Receiving my second major blog award in Cosmopolitan magazine. A shopping ban encouraged me to wear current favourite pieces in new ways. My Westminster office looking hauntingly majestic beneath foggy London skies. Celebrating Australia Day from afar. Ignoring the cold, dark days outside with blissful, indulgent wintery hibernation.
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to 2012!
Love, Miss B xx
P.S. As I’m so addicted to sharing little snapshots of my life via Instagram, I’ll be making these collages of my monthly adventures a regular feature every month. Sometimes things just get so hectic, it’s easier to say in pictures all the things I’ve been up to.
I completely relate, I am so addicted to Instagram – love your pretty pics they always make smile. I take pics of flowers and pretty sparkling things too!
Pretty pictures! I love your perfume collection – – looks like a little garden with all the Marc Jacobs daisy bottles 🙂

Love, love, love your Instagram pics – always so gorgeous, uplifting and totally make me smile.
Absolutely love your Instagram pictures! I am still a member of the Blackberry following, but I’m so tempted to switch to the iPhone purely for Instagram!
Beautiful pictures. You are very talented at collating and inspiring!
Please visit my blog!
Love your writing!
Are you still planning a post on wardrobe reorganisation? – some tips and ideas would be so appreciated.
Also do you commute every day? Would love to know how on earth you manage it so stylishly – an inspirational post (for those of us who dream of moving outside London) would be wonderful.

Just love following you on Instagram 🙂 Such fantastic shots!!
Dear Miss B.
I am writing to let you know that I would go as far to say that you and your blog have influenced my life for the better since stumbling across it last year. I love your quest for a rose-tinted life. I have these tendencies too and seem to get shot down for wanting to be positive, but I don’t listen to them. Your blog provides me with the confidence I need to defy these cynics! Your Instagram photos are the best around, I really do mean that. Your posts on organising have made me more organised and your love of surrounding yourself with pretty things has also made me do the same.
Sorry for the gushy comment, but I wanted to thank you and I wanted to let you know because often people don’t.
So, thank you.
Best wishes, Bella x
I am such a fan! Thanks for your fabulous blog. Cheers!
