My FAVOURITE THINGS this week are... #1 Taylor Swift - 'Mine' music video.
Actually, James Montgomery (writer for MTV.com) made an interesting comment in a recent article about the similarities of Katy Pery's latest video 'Teenage Dream' and Taylor Swift's 'Mine'.
'It's interesting that the premiere of Taylor Swift's "Mine" video comes less than three weeks after the grand unveiling of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" clip. For all their differences, they are essentially about the same thing: the fantasies of young, thoroughly modern women. Of course, those fantasies are about as different as the women presenting them. Perry's "Teenage Dream" is very much about the immediacy of pleasure, of fun and sexy romps on the beach and uninhibited road-trip adventures. Swift's version is quite the opposite: Hers is a dream buoyed by the satisfaction of the long-term, of a doting husband and towheaded children and white picket fences. They are two wildly dissimilar sides of the same coin: Perry wants to be free; Taylor wants a husband. And the one you tend to identify with probably says a lot about you.' Kind of idealistic identifying yourself with one of the two. Sucker for romance I am = #TeamTaylor. Read MTV full article HERE. #2 Snow, Snow, Snow, SNOW!
Last Monday we went to shoot a Fashion Editorial in the snow for y'all. It was a pretty, pretty day - to say the least. Are you jealous? #3 I really like these colours...
#4 So much so, that in celebration for my 21st birthday (hushhh, I'm getting old I know), I thought it would be the perfect time for me to plaster my face onto a bunch of m&m's for a laugh. With my fav, fav, fav colours. Boom!

and... I have an UN-favourite as well. #1 FIRES! They are kind of scary and very dangerous also. Don't forget to 'STOP, DROP and ROLL'. This one was in our bathroom. Eek!
