happy birthday little rock of mine

today is the birthday of my tiny little home barbados. if i was home today we would be celebrating by spending a nice long day at the beach, eating food and drinking. 

today instead i will be singing all my favourite childhood songs about this sweet place.

....god bless bim on independence day....

....i say b...i say ba...bar....barb....barbados....BARBADOS...

(we used to sing these ones in the hall at my old school...oh the memories)

feeling very proud today and here few things i love about my home.

rihanna of course (this music video shows tons of clips from home)

our food (this is macaroni pie and it is ten times better than mac and cheese)

our crop over festival 

the beaches (and my friends)

happy independence day barbados xoxox

oh christmas tree

me n santa

this past weekend i got together with my favourite soon to be wedded couple to be and decorated their little christmas tree. the most entertaining part of course was little yogi posing for pictures and chasing ornament cases around the apartment. 

crummy

do you ever have those days when you feel so emotionally drained you just want to come home and stuff your face with carbs? if it wasn't exam/final paper period i might be stuffing my face with a bottle of sauvignon blanc, but seeing as i have to continue working i will just stick to the starches. 

did anyone else have a crummy monday? 

once upon a ballerina

melissa gibbs and i went to the same high school way back when and today she is a talented freelance photographer living in london. i stumbled upon some of her work the other day and i had to feature my favourite pictures from her most recent shoot. having once worn a pair of satin slippers myself, i felt so nostalgic looking at these photographs. but i think what caught my eye first were this lovely ladies feet and turn out....could she be more perfect? 

hope you all had a fabulous weekend and stay tuned as i have some exciting news for everyone later this week!
