Gift Guide - She ❤'s Fashion...
Holiday help is here once again! Today is a collection of gift ideas for the gal who loves fashion.
Bang on trend this Fall...
1. I am loving the rosy sepia tones of the on-trend python curse scarf in 100% wool, featuring two frayed trims and a hand painted print snake-like pattern. 2. For subtle, preppy glamour, wear this metal bow fabric hair clip over your ponytail. 3. On my wish list is this vintage looking corsage and stone beaded bando to add some daytime glamour to my hair!
4. 'P-Helio' taupe ballet flats. Flats? Tick! Patent? Tick! Cosmetic colour? Tick! These shoes tick all the boxes and would look great with skinny grey jeans. 5. For chilly days, the skin-tone flattering cream scarf adds bags of snuggle factor to a wintry day. Wear to add warmth and a textural edge to a sleek winter look. 6. Work some cute chic into your off-duty look with the addition of a chunky knitted beanie hat. With a cable design and broad, ribbed turn-up, topped with a fluffy pom pom it comes in a flattering shade of cream with pinkish undertones to highlight a rosy winter glow.
7. Essie nail polishes in glamour purse, lady like, and power clutch are all from the Fall 2011 collection and update the nude tones of last year. 8. The diamante feather clip in tonal colours with delicate feathers and eye catching faceted beads will add some vintage glamour! 9. Top of my wish list is the 'And Mary' cutout swallow leather purse, made from super soft, Italian leather with a cut out swallow design in gold. Beautiful almond colour and birds: a match made in heaven!! 10. A practical, chic and glamourous metallic shopper is perfect for shopping trips.
11. So you don't miss important dates with the girls for cocktails and cupcakes, get the Swatch soft carnation watch . 12. This tough but pretty real leather honeycomb metal cuff is overlaid with a chunky gold honeycomb bracelet. Wear with girly dresses to toughen up your outfit! 13. The plated chain Maya necklace with glass drop details from All Saints would look great with a white tee and jeans for some girly rock chic! 14. Keep your travelcard in style with these metallic oyster card holder. You could use them for credit cards or business cards, too...
Happy shopping!

This week I'm grateful for... details
Often in this life that old adage 'you can't see the forest for the trees' springs to mind. But, it's not only seeing the big picture that I sometimes struggle with. Just as often, it's really the trees I can't see because there is too much forest in the way. The details of life are so important.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
196. Details - the little things. A colour. A scent. The whisper of a breeze on my cheek. A note folded like a crane. Ah details, the cherry on the top of life.
197. Moments - details make moments. Barely-there, sparkly moments.
198. Pause - how often we forget the importance of a pause. The space between. A pause lets life rush in.
So, what's making you smile today? Add your post to the list below (and please, we love you, but it really does matter that your post is a Grateful one and not just a random) and pretty-please add a link back to this linky. Then pop over to visit other bloggers who are spreading a little sunshine.

Scentsy Giveaway!!! Don't miss out!
Kathy over at Bwak Bwak Blog is a certified Scentsy consultant and will be giving away 1 Scentsy Groovy Brown Plug-In and 2 scent bars! A $30 value!
 |
 |
Scentsy offers a variety of decorative warmers with wax melted by the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame. so those of you with children - not only are they beautiful and fragrant - they are SAFE! If your little one was to get near your Scentsy and stuck their finger IN the melted wax - it WILL NOT burn them! Also, the melted wax will never evaporate meaning that you will never be 'burning' an empty dish! After multiple burns, the wax will no longer be as fragrant so just dump melted wax into the trash and throw another cube in the dish! Once you're house is nice and fragrant, turn off the plug and it will harden up again. The scents they offer are AMAZING!!! My two favorites are Central Park Pralines and Luna.There are many fall and winter scents that smell amazing. If you have never used Scentsy you are missing out! If you like the smell of something, I guarantee they have something similar if not exact! You can purchase the scents in bar or brick form. The bar contains six cubes. For plug-ins, only one cube is needed and for full size and mid size warmers, 2-3 cubes are needed.
1. Check out Kathy's Scentsy website and leave me a comment letting me know which scents you would choose!
2. Go to kath's blog and follow her - come back and let me know you did!
For extra points:
3. Post this giveaway out on ANY social network [blog, twitter, or facebook] saying "I want to win the awesome Scentsy giveaway on http://livinglovesong.blogspot.com!"
Leave a comment for EACH one you do.
That is a total of SIX chances to win.
Good luck!

And now, back to (my!) studio...
Hey guys! How has been the week that was? As usual mine has flown at the speed of light -- where does time go? Firstly, can I thank everyone who gave me some great advice re re-covering my lamp; I dont feel nearly as intimidated now! Gonna try to give it a try over the weekend! But today I wanted to share with with you a little studio update!
A lot has happened since my last post and my previously hideously rat-infested back-of-garage room now has the distinct resemblance of a studio, a bedroom and a little bathroom! The studio space is going to be small -- about 2x3 metres in total, which isn't large by any means. But its a damn sight larger than the kitchen table, I can assure you!
My husband is dreaming up the makings of a built-in wraparound desk so I have plenty of counter-top on which to work (I do tend to spread myself about) and I'm planning lots of pigeon holes underneath and shelves above the desk in which to hold all my stuff. The walls have gone up. I've ordered the carpet. And now I have a week-and-a-half to finish the gyprocking, install the sliding doors between the studio and bedroom and into the bathroom, do all the priming and painting, tile the bathroom, and finish the electrical before my carpet arrives and is installed! Eeeeek!
Here's some (really bad) pics so you can see the progress:
What are you up to over the weekend? Me -- I'll be making lots of bm3 orders and hopefully catching the latest Twilight flick. There, I said it. Im a closet Twi-hard ;)

the rumpus/ spare bedroom and ensuite!
