carpe diem

"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present, and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."

Audrey Hepburn





Today has just been such a nice day. Decided to go for a drive on the quayside this morning before going into uni. It was still pretty cold but so sunny. I just parked up and got myself a little coffee. It felt nice to be relaxing after a pretty busy weekend celebrating a friend's birthday down in Nottingham.

Now i need to go back to reading Byron...
Hope you all had a nice weekend!

good genes

The new Vogue arrived through my door on monday. I've not had a chance to have a good thumb through yet but I thought I should take a few minutes to appreciate March's cover girl: the genetic wonder that is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.




The spread isn't overly exciting but I like the use of such bold colours on the cover- it breathes a bit of life into this horrible inbetweeny season, where we're just coming out of the dreariness of winter....but is it a little bit too summery?
As far as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley concerned I think she looks gorgeous, but I've got to say, I prefer her Jessica Rabbit esq cover for the last issue of LOVE



Or this cute little cover she did for Japanese Vogue back in 2005



Whichever you prefer you've got to admit the girl has certainly got good genes. Plus she is also currently the ONLY English Victoria's secret angel.
