Below are the most recent articles for 'Things I heart'
So, I love chocolate and I love blogs, which is why I especially love Cocoa, the super-cute home to Miss Penelope Bat and her sweet-as-sugar musings of adorability. She also shares my passion for pugs, which makes her fabulous x 100.
I’m on a constant quest for pretty, cute, fun and affordable sweet-as-sugar treats to bust-up an outfit, and luckily for me, and now for you ladies of fabulousity, I present my latest accessory find: Temporary Secretary.
Think sailor-girl earrings, cup cake rings and good-enough-to-eat hair slides - oh, and snail mail-inspired love letter jewellery - oh my heart!
Meet Sarah, the total talent behind fab new label, Temporary Secretary!
I love meeting kick-ass ladies o’ fabulousness, this is fact, which is why I was super-excited to hook up with the sweet-as-sugar, Miss Corrine.
She’s a writer-girl, with a love of all things style, beauty, inspiration, and FUN!
Our kinda girl, right?
Filled with positive, how-to advice and tips and tricks to live life to the fullest, Miss Corrine has a super-fun space of internet cuteness that encourages you to make the most of every day - come meet her, she’s adorbz.

We heart soapsicles!
Never heard of a Soapsicle before? Available from Soapylove, they’re bars of soap that are the same size as a real lickable popsicle - adorbz, right?
Not only are they totes cute to look at but the wood stick is really helpful when you have slippery hands - I want to eat them all up they’re so cute, ‘cept you really shouldn’t, because they’re soap, ‘k?
The amazing lady behind these sweet treats is Debbie Chialtis - come meet her, she’s cuteness on a lolly stick too!
It’s not often I discover cool music.
Don’t get me wrong, I dig a lot of cool, cool music, but it seems that when you work in the realms of teen-girl with a bombardment of McFly, Jonas Bros and The Days - which I totes love too btw, you do lose the ability to discover the new stuff. Case in point, I heard Panic At The Disco the other day and thought they were incredz, turns out they’ve been around for ages - who knew?
Not me.
Anyway, I have discovered Katy Perry.
Her album One of The Boys isn’t out here in the UK yet, but after hearing Katy’s tune-age online and realising she’s freakin’ awesome, I splashed the cash for an import. I dig her retro-girl stylin’ a LOT, her sassy ‘tude rocks and most of all, I love her tunes. They’re quite possibly the perfect soundtrack to being a girl - feisty and fabulous - LOVE.
I get as excited about stationery as I do chocolate and cupcakes, so imagine my happiness when I found that they did the cult moleskine notebooks that I totally heart in pink? I obviously had to buy myself a complete set, because cute notebooks are an absolute necessity when writing cute books.
Right?
Someone agree with me, please!
The awesome girl duo, Kandy and Seelena, have created yet another Sugar Paper zine o’ fabulousness for our make-and-do pleasure - Hurrah!
I am hoping and wishing for an entire weekend of nothingness so I can see how many of the 20 things to make-and-do I can actually fit in, top of my list include: Forming a band - wanna join? Makin’ a mix-tape - I love nothing more than to kick it up retro style, sip home-made lemonade and add fancy tails with paper bows to my new kite. Once again, these zine queens have created quite possibly the most fun zine…Ever!
To get your crafty hands on the latest copy, head over to: www.sugarpaper.bigcartel.com or to read more about the girls behind the zine check out our Inspir-o-girl interview!
So, you know how I love to hook you up with inspir-o girls who are making their own girl-shaped footprints in the world, right? Well, today I have a total treat for you…She’s a blue-haired, NYC-lovin’, blogging queen from New Zealand, she’s called Gala Darling and we’ve got a girl crush.
Now, I LOVE NYC and if ever I needed a reason to save harder for my dream loft apartment in the West Village, it would be that I’d no longer have to pay the CRAZY-HUGE international delivery charges for adorable NYC-only treats like this…
Want. Need. Must-have.
Mizz magazine has gone Lola and Lisa crazy this issue as they are totally pimpin’ us up!

Hola!
I’m writer-girl today and have offish started book 3 of the Lola Love fiction series - it’s so much fun, I’m beyond excited that I get to hang out with Lola on a daily basis now - like I’ve not got the best life ever?!!
So, as you know, when I’m writing, I LOVE me a visit to the procrastination station, which is basically anywhere, or anything, that is NOT what I’m actually supposed to be doing, so when I received this emailage from a gal-pal entitled Fun Things About Me, I thought answering it would be fun time frankies…
Adoreably fabulous Pink Lady, Miss Carla, has had an idea…
“…We’re always bombarded with companies, magazines and advertisements telling us that their product is the best thing since peanut butter and chocolate met.
But who’s really right?
I was thinking, it would be fab to find out what other Pink Ladies think…”
All you need to do is copy and paste the mini-survey below into either a comment or an email before the 31st January - There’s a Lola goodie bag up for grabs for one lucky entrant too!
We’ll then host the Think Pink awards here in February - where we’ll reveal the winners and shout about why we love them so much!

So, I’m totally heartin’ Ugly Betty.
Betty is officially my new inspiro-a-gogo girl.
She follows the beat of her own marchin’ band, makes her own Betty-shaped footprints and I don’t know ’bout you, but I’m thinkin’ her nerdsville fabulousity seriously rocks.
Which is why I’m all over her website: www.bettysuarez.com
It has everything a fan-girl needs to find out more about Betty and her world. Much love.
Betty, will you be our BFF?
Ugly Betty hits our screens here in the UK tonight, 9.30pm, Channel 4.
Oh, happy days.
There is nothing not to love ’bout this - I’ve had a sneaky peek on YouTube, and am crazy in crush with it already!
Basically, Ugly Betty follows the daily life of our new favourite lady Betty Suarez, she’s from a struggling Latino family and works as an assistant at super swanky MODE fashion magazine. Ala Devil Wears Prada, most of her colleagues think they’re more attractive than she is, they often humiliate and insult her because of her appearance, but the best bit? Betty don’t care.
She’s not even interested in fashion.
Her boss, the womanizing, but right outta cutesville, Daniel Meade has a serious lack of fashion experience too, but both are intent on performing well at their jobs, even though there are sneaky-types out to try and stop them…
Seriously, Ugly Betty is the stuff of dreams. Tune in tonight and we’ll do Betty chat!
Lisa Clark is a multi-taskin’ kinda girl.
She’s creator of www.pink-world.co.uk, agony aunt for the super-cool magazine, Mizz and author of a brand new series of feel-good, go-for-it guides for teen girls, Think Pink.
Join Lisa as she welcomes you to Pink World, a world where you can be gorgeous, be happy, be yourself and love who you are!
