What is a VM?

HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!
The glamours of VM :)

An insight into the wonderful world that is Visual merchandising

WOW!!!!!!!
Friends and family will all tell you how OBSESSED I am with photographs, montages fill my wall - I would have them everywhere if I could and I have recently come across the most amazing forms of photography.
Jamie Beck,(http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com) is a photographer and co-creator of the Cinemagraph, heres a glimpse of just a couple of her images - definitely worth checking out.

Photographs are taken from http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com

Must haves/ Wish list works :) :)

So for the last few weeks I have been updating my 'must have item' and 'beauty wish list' and I am now the very proud owner of at least three of the items I have listed (I guess I kind of feel I HAVE to buy them seeing as though their that important for me to share with you :), well either that or it makes as a great present hinter ;) ;) Ill keep you posted with how many more I manage to purchase.
