Things I'm Loving...

My birthday. I recently celebrated my 21st birthday with a big luau party and many birthday dinners. I had the most amazing time, got the most wonderful presents and my Nonno and Nonna came from Melbourne to spend it with me!

I got the most amazing presents, namely a gorgeous Mimco watch and a beautiful pink leather Vintage Princess handbag among many others...

aaaand a puppy! I had been begging my parents for about two year to get me a puppy and as it came closer and closer to my birthday, I was certain that I wasn't going to get one. I was very much surprised when it turned out I was allowed to get one, and immediately went hunting. So this is Luca.

Other recent favourites include my new two favourite books...

The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl by Belle de Jour and Air Kisses by Zoe Foster

Even though I have many many serious books to read, I loved these. I couldn't put either down from start to finish and now I am eager to read other books from both of these authors.

And finally... two movies. One new and one old.

Blue Valentine and An Education

I saw Blue Valentine this week and I loved it. Even thought it was depressing, and frustrated me a little, it was still a beautiful, real, love story. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling are both so beautiful, I especially loved the wedding scene. And I can watch An Education over and over again. I love the innocence of Carey Mulligan's character, and all of the beautiful things she gets to do, even though it goes wrong.
