Weekly Fantasy

This weeks Weekly Fantasy is "Walking the Catwalk". One day I really hope to walk in New York Fashion Week! Hopefully I will be able to walk for all the amazing designers that show their gorgeous designs in fashion week. I would love to have all the beautiful makeup that you always see on the models in photos from different fashion shows. All the divine hair styles that the models are styled with are always incredible! It would be a dream!




I would love to walk for Victorias Secret one day! They always look like they are having so much fun and it just looks amazing! I would also love to walk for Kate Spade, Juicy Couture and Chanel one day!

Achieve An Organized Life

I am one of those people that tries to be organized and does for about a week and then I stop completely and everything gets messy again! But now with Kikki k's organization tips I am so excited to start my new organized lifestyle! So I have decided to let you know all about these gorgeous ideas about how to de-clutter your life!



1. Create a Vision Board:

A vision board is a place full of inspiration. It holds your creativity, and all your passions! You can fill it up with lots of motivating photos of people you look up to, things you love and just generally pretty photos! You can add your goals for the year and dreams for the future! You can add beautiful coloured ribbon and hang up cards people have sent you! You are free to design it any way you want, let your mind free! I am planning to buy this Kikki k. Vision board, which is a gorgeous white wooden framed pinboard.


2. Get the right desk accessories and tools.

To be organized you need to have helpful and gorgeous tools for your desk. A calender is a must as you can write down all your dates such as birthdays, parties, familly events, school work hand in dates, the list could go on! You also need some gorgeous magazine holders, which you can hold really anything in, from school notes to little extras that you need or have no where to put. Of course you need the essential pencils, pens and a stationary holder as well! Kikki.k has lots of pretty stationary that I know would add the perfect dash of colour to your desk.



3. Start a Weekly Habits book.

This book is a place where you can just make a change and stick too it! It gives you the opportunity to find those nasty little habits that you can never get rid of and finally leave them behind. You can use any plain book or you can use Kikki.k's Weekly Habit Pad.



4. Get A Diary and Start Using It.

By getting a diary you will be able to keep track of every little thing that you need to remember such as school homework, little jobs that need to be done such as the shopping or buying a birthday present for your friend or family. A diary is so handy and I know that I have had one before and I just didn't use it, but motivate yourself to become an organized person by using one of these gorgeous diaries from Kiki.k you could even get a plain one and cover it in your own photos!!

There are lots absolutely divine ways to organize your life you just need to finally get started and it will lead on from there. Have fun!

A Weekly Fantasy

Hello Everyone.

A Weekly Fantasy is my new series of posts, where once a week I will post about a fantasy/dream I have for my future one day. It could be anything from where I want to travel, to where I want to live or even where I want to work one day!

This Week's Fantasy: Working at Vogue





This week's Fantasy is Working at Vogue. One day I would absolutely love to work at vogue. The editor, Anna Wintour, has the most amazing job and it honestly would be a dream! You would get to meet famous models, go to many stunning fashion shows and events. What a life!



The movie "The September Issue" takes you through the life of Anna Wintour and what it is like to work at vogue. I watched this movie a few years ago and it really made me understand the life of a magazine editor, but also many other jobs involved with working at a magazine as well. It made me realize that this was something that I would love to achieve one day. You never know, I might be living a life like Anna Wintour one day.

Introducing the New Blog

Hello everyone! A few months ago I made the big decision to change my tumblr's name from purple-dress to teapartyatharrods, and now I have changed my blogspot as well. I love my new url as I think it is more girly and suits the things I will post a lot better :) I really hope you enjoy my new blog, and all my upcoming posts.

Planning your Birthday

Recently on Monday, the 4th of June it was my birthday :) It was a gorgeous day full of wonderful gifts and lovely people! So if you are planning your birthday here is a list of things you need to think about!

Everyone needs a good guest list for their party and for that you need some invitations!
Have a look at these gorgeous invitations from alannarose!


All parties need a cake! Try these divine looking cakes from Cupcakes Couture, don't they look delicous!




Now if you want to go out for dinner, then you need a good restaurant! What about this gorgeous restaurant called 8 at the Langham Hotel! It has eight different different interactive kitchens from places around the world! Imagine going all around the world in one night!

Maybe you want to go out for a tea party? At the Langham there is a winery where you can have Tiffins Afternoon Tea! Doesn't it just sound divine!



Parties are so much fun and planning them is wonderful! I recently had my birthday party too! We went out to the movies and saw the hilarious comedy "What to expect when you're expecting". It was so funny! We then got all dressed up like dolls and went out for dinner at the restaurant 8 and the Langham Hotel! It was such an amazing experience! And the food was like nothing I have ever had before!

Holiday Destinations

Don't you just love travelling! I know I do. Going overseas is always exciting because it is something a little different to your normal hometown. For me my hometown is Auckland, New Zealand and going away is always a treat!

These holidays I am going to Hawaii with my family! I am so excited, the trip is going to be filled with shopping, tanning, surfing, snorkling, eating tropical delicacies and of course, many hot boys!! I can't wait!
We are going to off in Waikiki,Honalulu, staying at the trump hotel ...


We are then going off to Maui, and are staying at the Westin Hotel ...



Another tropical destination that looks like it would be a dream to visit is, the Bahamas! It is one of those places that I have wanted to visit for such a long time! Doesn't it just look to die for!




Last year at Christmas, I went somewhere a little colder and it was incredible! We went skiing in Canada. This is one place that if you get that chance to visit, I wouldn't say no! We had the most incredible time and it is a lovely place! 
We went to Vancouver first ( where we did most of our shopping) ...


And then went of to ski in Whistler ...


Hopefully this has given you lots of ideas for places to go when travelling! There of course are lots of other lovely places such as Australia, Maldives, Africa and America! So take your pick!
