Yep, it’s official - I’m back in the world o’ pink - woop, woop!
It’s Monday, and that can mean only one thing… it’s time to get Bodaciously Beauty*licious!
I’m happy.
Why?
If you’ve read Think Pink, you’ll know that both Lola and I are compliment-collecting crazy - we keep them safe for days when we feel glum, then we get them back out and splash around in their general loviness.
Now, I’ve been compliment-collecting crazy this weekend. A cute boy from Liverpool told me my hair-clip - pink, natch - was ‘boss’, a girl called Claire came up to me in the train station to tell me I was funky - thanks Claire! and another girl told me how pretty my lip gloss was when I was re-applying it in the loo…compliment collecting is simply dee-lish. Fact.
New favourite website alert!
Cut-out is the creation of awesome super-talent, Miss Kay. She designs kick-ass T-shirts and tote bags, button badges and handmade jewellery for your pleasure and delight, because…well, she’s really rather nice like that!
I especially heart the too-cool writer tee on the left, isn’t it adorbz? I’ve just ordered one, y’know, just in case people don’t know that I’m actually a writer-girl!
Come meet Kay, the lady behind the label, then go visit the site - you’ll love it!

I have completely out-bow-ed myself with my latest purch from Pink-world fave: Loulou Loves You and FYI, she does love me because she’s made quite possibly the cutest over-sized huge pink bow EV-AH, and after parting with 16 english pounds, I now own it - hurrah!
The Loulou bow is made from double layered 100% silk satin and can be worn as a dreamy hair barette or as a totally bowtastic brooch - I intend to do both with mine - I’m officially in bow heaven!
You can get your own from: www.louloulovesyou.co.uk
Just to remind you that there is a Pink-world zine-making competition going on right now - I totally can’t wait to read your entries - but thought, while you were getting you creative on, you might need a li’l inspir-o…

Ohmystars - is it completely wrong to be head over glitter-pink Converse in heart with a necklace?
Well, if loving this AH-MAZING necklace from the too-cool-for-school website: www.punkypins.co.uk is wrong, then I never, ever want to be right!
On my quest to bring you some fabu gift ideas for the gift-giving season, and that includes buying a gift for yourself btw, I have discovered www.Elsiebelle.com, a website of total accessorisation (yes, it is a word…mine!) treasure!
The site of beauty is fit-to-bursting with so many pretty, pretty things like this ‘I love tea’ necklace - tres adorbz and only £6.95, that I not only had to give props to the prods, I simply had to find out more about the site and intro you to the lovely Liz Fennings, the lady behind the label!
Yep, I’m going to say it; Christmas!
The only reason I’m mentioning it mid-November, which should still technically involve celebrating my b-day, is because I’m going to be away for a big chunk of December - did I tell you? I’m going to India?! - and I’m having to start my Christmas shopping early…
So, despite being an only child, I thought it might be really cool to offer up some Pink-world recommends… over the next few weeks to inspire your very own present-buying - I know, I’m like the gift that keeps giving, right?!
LouLou Loves You is not only a super cute sentiment, it’s also a really rather fabulous website selling prods of adorability!
The site will have you wishin’ you had as much hair as Amy Winehouse so that you could adorn yourself with several of LouLou’s incredible and infamous over-sized bows all at the same time, and the site is really rather cute to look at too!
Meet the lady behind the label, Lou Lou!
How caa-ute is this? WANT. NEED. MUST HAVE.
You can order it from Jenny’s Bake Shop - I’ll race you there!
Is it wrong to have a crush on an ENTIRE prod range?
Bnevertoobusytobebeauiful - I HEART you.
Seriously, I defy you to find a single product that you won’t fall in total heart-thumpin love-stuff with.
Meet Nickie. She’s the creator-girl of www.redplasticfactory.co.uk
For those of you who dig on the accoutrement, RPF is a totes must-visit…It has everything a girl like me needs to feed my love of all things rockabilly, 50s and pin-up, as well as super-cute gift ideas too! Check out this paint palette necklace - the perfect-o pressie for any aspiring art-girl, with real-life actual paints and everything!
I haven’t shouted about how much I love and adore the wonder that is www.heidiseeker.com in a LOOONG while. This is normally because, when I visit aforementioned site of glitter-sprinkled rainbow fabulousness, I get an attack of the Selfish Sallies - I am an only child after all - and want all the lovely goodness for myself!
However, I AM learning to share. Although, if I’m honest, I’m not sure I’m ready to let you loose on my felt-tip pen collection yet - one step at a time, right?!!
So f’now, please let out a collective swoon at the three new purchases I’ve just made - j’adore.
A tattoo cardi - a total tat fix ’til I get my new one in November!
This bag has real life speakers to pop your ipod in - how freakin’ cool is that?!
I am totally feeling all things rockabilly right now, so that, combined with my love of Jane Mansfield, makes this personalised animal-print cardi a totes must-have to wear with my 50s style flowery frocks - adorbz!
I’m now sitting by my postbox in anticipation of their arrival - please, please hurry, Mr Postie!
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!
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!

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!

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.

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…
