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!
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!
Meet Miss Aim’ee Louise Richards - my bee-you-tiful, totally talented gal-pal.
She’s a glamazon, she’s a fashionista and she has a huge passion for old movies. She’s living in Hong Kong right now, where she sometimes gets poked in the chest by umbrellas because she’s so fabulously tall. She dances in clubs that no one knows exist and she designs pretty, pretty underwear.
For tips and advice on choosing the right bra and why, Miss Aim’ee is your gal.
Introducing….Miss Aim’ee!

Girls, be prepared for what can only be described as a maay-jah overload of totes cuteness!
Sweet-as-sugar Kate Garey, has just opened her very own online shop - where you’ll find adorable unique goods inspired by kawaii cuteness, whimsical eccentricities, fairy tales, food and a little weirdness - I am in LOVE.
I got a rather fabulous message from Pink Lady Emma, over at myspace today:
I think you are totally awesome and I’m completely in love with pink world =]
I just wondered if you had any tips you could share about getting into writing. How do you start off getting into journalism? And what sort of thing can you do to get your work noticed? Anything would be great!
Keep up the good work!
Emma xoxo
Sometimes life is a bit sucky.
This is factuality.
But when you realise you’ve taken a left turn into sucksville - which is just north of un-pretty town btw - a girl has got to thank her lucky twinkle-stars that she’s got a rather fabulous Think Pink vanity case…Every Pink Lady has one, it’s the law and everything, and each is filled to the brim with a li’l somethin’ somethin’ to help her deal with the negative ninas, the tough stuff, and the curve balls that life sometimes seems intent on throwing our way…
Which is why, on a recent trip to the ville o’ suck, one I don’t want to re-visit in a hurry, the contents of my very own Think Pink vanity case made sure my trip was short-stay and not long haul.
FYI: This is totally un-related, but wouldn’t this Lulu Guiness creation be the most perfect-o vanity case? I’m in total heart!
Exciting times - Pink Lady, Rosie Spence has made her journo-o girl debut over at Lolasland.com!
Rosie is sharing her love for all things Blythe - “She’s cute, fashionable, fun and, check out her eyes - it’s Blythe!”
We love Rosie and we love Blythe - they’re quite possibly the most perfect-o tutti-cuti combination!

Inspired by my total love of Kimora Lee Simmons and my new book Viva La Diva, it’s time to come clean.
I am a total diva. Fact.
I don’t mean a hissy-fit throwing drama queen, I mean a glitter-sprinkled, pink-thinking diva who walks tall, speaks with confidence and has enough charm to always get what she wants without being rude. It really is a rather fabulous way to be - so secure your tiara and practice your air kisses, ’cause no one is gonna treat you like a goddess ’til you start acting like one!
A diva should always be able to step into the pink-tinted spotlight and work it at a moment’s notice, and, the good news is, you don’t have to be big-headed or arrogant to come across as confident and happy. Cool, huh?!
So, you know how much I love Sugar Paper zine, right?
Well those gorgeous girls have gone and created a crafty pin-ups calendar for 2008 - I got my copy yesterday and I LOVE it - you will too!

My fave SP tip is: Make sure you tell people you want post!
I like emails so please don’t stop sending me those, but I LOVE post sooo much more!
Y’know, real life snail mail, with glitter and stickers and news and stories and pix and general fabulousness. Author-girl, Lisa Clark loves real post too, A LOT.
So, why don’t you become a retro writer girl, pick up a pen and send Lisa and I real-life post? That would be AWESOME!
We’ll deffo reply, we both love writing letters!

I’m a hopeless romantic, that’s a fact.
Thing is, now I’m a Helpless Romantic too.
Y’see, once-upon-a-summer 2006, the bedroom-based tinkerings of a relatively young girl, reared on a diet of onigiri and manga, made an official, mother ordered, relocation to the basement, in an attempt to stem a house wide epidemic of little creations.
Here in the basement, the tinkerings were free to grow and evolve in new ways. They started calling themselves “helpless romantic”, and taking the girl quite by surprise leapt, at a speed that seemed to resemble that of light, from the basement to new homes, all over the country and beyond!
