viva♡'s: internet finds and inspiration

I've decided to shake up my blog features a little. It's not a drastic change but I think it's one that suits me best. Wednesday's will now be the home of 'vivahearts' - a series of posts dedicated to the things I've stumbled across/been loving lately. It's pretty much a better/simpler version of my old 'Friday Favourites' posts - corr wack out the vintage Viva! I hope you all find some new things through these little posts. I'll probably still be serving up 'What Ifs' and 'Quick Thoughts' every now and again but, for now, I want to stick to this format :) If you've found something interesting lately that you think my readers will like or if you yourself would like to be featured in this post please email me! My email can be found in the 'about' tab. Anyway, on with the post....

Ruby Rae Love;
If you haven't heard of beautiful Ella's new jewellery line, Ruby Rae Love, you've either been living under a rock or you're seriously behind with the times. Ella is an inspirational beauty sourcing the prettiest of items before turning them into sentimental gems. The electic designs offer something to suit everyone's tastes and the little histories behind each item tug at the heart strings of even the most cold hearted of people. Ella is so extremely passionate about what she makes and I think that's perhaps what sets her apart from so many independent jewellery lines these days. Why not take a look and have a sneaky little purchase?!



goodreads.com;
Goodreads.com is pretty much the bookworms idea of a little slice of internet heaven. Everything revolves around your bookshelf - the books you've read, your 'to-reads', your reviewed and the book that you're currently reading. Pass the time helping others with their book choices by reviewing books you've already read and giving them star ratings. You can also scour through thousands upon thousands of inspirational quotes from a plethora of writers, novelists and poets leaving little chance for you to sign out feeling uninspired. Goodreads has hundreds of quizzes and bits of trivia on offer for those readers that like a challenge and a chance to show off their extensive knowledge. If you just want to be able to find new books to read, don't you worry, there's a recommendations section that heads you in the right direction. I really do believe that this site is underrated - go join up now!



 a few to follow;

Here's a few blogs for you guys to check out. I love how summery everyone's posts are getting now! It certainly puts a huuuuge smile on my face. If you think I should check out your blog please feel free to comment! I love finding newbies to place alongside my go-to reads in my dashboard!

summer florals;
Before my weight loss, it was difficult to not find me in a floral pattern and floaty fabric. I was extremely head over heels with anything with a dainty floral print and I wasn't ashamed of it. My style changed when my weight dropped. It lost its femininity and confidence. I hid myself under things. However, now that I'm putting on weight I'm starting to get that need for florals back in my life. As soon as my account allows, I'm going to be purchasing some floral beauties. Here are just a few picks from the high street. I absolutely adore the oriental-esque beauty of the second item - the Jade Floral Tee. I just can't justify the price for such a flimsy fabric :/ What floral gorgeousness have you found on the high street lately? Any items you think I should check out? 

 

I've also been loving;

I hope you've liked this new post. I'm sure the feature will develop and get a little better as time goes on! I'm off to go and enjoy the rest of my day with the boy. I hope you're all having good weeks so far and I'll be back in a couple of days for another new addition to the vivatramp family.
