viva♡'s: internet finds and inspiration

Would it be worrying to admit to the fact that I was completely unaware it was Wednesday today? My mind seems to be running in hours/events rather than days at the moment so I was alarmed when I realised I'd got nothing ready to post! I'd love to say that my jetsetting lifestyle meant that I was cruising around some hot country today so I lost track of time but that wasn't the case. I've spent the day with my Grandma watching Flog It, playing Boggle, eating delicious smoked salmon and drinking lots of good tea. To be honest, I'd take that offer over a hot climate right now. It's been a lovely day! Admittedly, I'm not the happiest of ladies at the moment because my illness is going through a flare up. I've got stabbing pains in my inflammation so I'm currently walking around clutching my side and jauntily walking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame! I'm too sexy for this blog. Anyway, I'm rambling on now. I hope your week is going swimmingly and I'll be back soon with another post. Here's a few things I've come across of late that I've rather liked:

moustache clips | moustache set | moustache flask | moustache wallet

Moustache inspired gifts; 
I moustache you a question....(yes, I went there!) Are you a closet facial hair appreciator like myself? I'm not entirely sure what it is but I sure love a little bit of 'tache lovin'! Myself and my fellow team members often adorn faux moustaches and wander around the town scaring tourists and amusing our friends. In fact, it's one of the team's birthday this week and we've actually bought her that gorgeous moustache flask! I'm insanely jealous. Who wouldn't want to be seen sipping their beverage of choice from a 'tache shaped flask? You can get a plethora of facial fuzz related gifts on the net and I think they can make a pretty unique gift for a fuzzy friend. I'm laughing as I type all this for some reason. Anyway, I'll leave you before you realise the extent of my love for a good handlebar. Any other 'tache fans out there?

@oldmansearch

I'm all for novelty/fun twitter accounts - the queen's account never fails to put a smile on my face! I was pleasantly tickled (LOLZ) when I came across @oldmansearch. It's basically the work of a mischievous son/daughter who has told their 81 year old father that Twitter is how you search for things in Google. I bloody hope this account is true because it's just such loveable cruelty, haha. Searches include: 'remote control leash yellow', 'waist and ankle tension' and 'soft boiled grapes'. It's light humour like that that just gets you through the day, haha. What's your opinion on this? Is it cruel? Do you love novelty accounts?

River Island Palazzos; 

For me, there will always be those pieces that I see on the hanger and think, 'I could never pull those off' - see paperbag waists, halternecks and peter pan collars. I was so right about the paperbags. I've seen a trend emerge lately that has struck me as something that is, yet again, unwearable on my figure but I've fallen in love with it. 'It' is the palazzo pant. I'm not sure why I'm so dubious; I've got long legs so surely that should mean this is a full blown yes? However, I'm 'blessed' with those so-called child bearing hips that make me look like I've been run over so I'm a bit nervous they will only draw more attention to that fact. After seeing the beautiful Zoe's new palazzos in her video I did a little searching and came across some beautiful ones that I'd love to wear. River Island have really stepped up this summer! Obviously, you don't have to go for a printed palazzo - those of you who are a little more conservative can opt for a block colour and hit the S/S trend on the head. That said, I'm a sucker for a print so I'm all for the crazy. I'm definitely going to give these a try for my holiday. All I need now is a bank account that won't let me take £ out that I don't have....
