sunday spotlight...

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing Sunday... and speaking of Sunday, you know what that means-- it's time for another blogger spotlight! This week I chose to feature a blogger I only recently discovered, the lovely Meg of Bow Ties Are Cool... She describes herself as "super geeky, super cool" but as far as I'm concerned, she can drop the "geeky" and just add "super, super cool" to her moniker. I might be gushing a bit, but I can't help it-- this girl is just too darn cute for her own good! From hats and cozy cardis, to flowy skirts and peter pan collars, BTAC has all the makings for a serious blog crush... Forget bow ties Meg, I think you're cool.

wardrobe wednesday...

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a great week so far :)

As you can see, this week's edition wardrobe wednesday is a touch different... Instead of featuring just one item from the depths of my closet, I'm showing you four new purchases! And if that wasn't enough, I'm coming at you (for the first time ever) in video form. I hope you guys like it, and please bear in mind, this is my first ever video... eek!

I heart Misikko...

I was super excited when the lovely people of Misikko, beauty supplier extraordinaire, contacted me to see if I would try out one of their top-rated flat irons... Hmm let me think about this-- YES, yes I would!

Before I knew it, a beautifully package parcel arrived on my doorstep, complete with a pink edition Hana Professional flat iron, a bottle of Biosilk's Silk Therapy (so good!), and a few other thoughtful goodies... I was so blown away with their attention to detail and amazing customer service that I knew right then and there that I would love their product... and I was right!

The Hana is light-weight and has 1" plates, making it super comfortable and easy to use. It heated up in no time (a welcome change from my tired old flat iron) and straightened my hair effortlessly--I usually have to go over it a few times before I can get it straight! Pluuuus you can use the Hana on damp hair, which is a total bonus....

All in all, I'm completely in love with this product, and what's more, I'm in love with the company! It's not often that you come across a business that treats their customers so well, and that goes a long way with me... If you ever find yourself in need of a ceramic flat iron, tourmaline hair dryer, or anything really, I honestly recommend you turn to Misikko... I know I will!

Thanks again to Misikko for sending me a Hana-- I absolutely love it! xx
