Read more ... 2012

The end of the year is coming even closer and my plans for the following year are definitely on slow simmer. One thought I’ve had is to channel my reading as I did a couple of years ago when most of what I read was 19th century.

I really enjoyed that, with the result that next year I think I’m going to use the list in the book 1001 Books you Must Read before you Die . The list is now 1294 books long as it should be to keep up with new books … but who’s quibbling.

Together with some work mates we went through the list to see how many we’d already read. I was happy to find around 100 of the first 1001, so about 10% in my case.

Check out the list if you’re interested.

And next year?

Adding this to my New Year’s Plans list and making my way through a few more … and maybe adding a few reviews to the blog. That’d be fun.

You Might Change Your Mind About Millennial Pink Once You See How Well Lavender Works As A Wedding Theme

I keep a strong eye out for wedding trends and something that's going to be big may be the color lavender.

Lavender looks set to consider over from millennial pink in 2018 and beyond. Why this shade?

It's a soft pastel which has depth

It's additionally a flavor - think lavender flavored macarons, cakes, desserts ...you may also get lavender flavored teas

It's a fragrance

It's a flower (almost a herb actually) that appears wonderful interspersed into wedding bouquets (and smells romantic too).

It's this type of versatile shade - technology-not only as a base color after which introduce deeper mauves, purples, and lilacs as visual points of interest (begin to see the paper lanterns within the image above).

Lavender is extremely romantic ... without having to be sickly sweet

It's a classic

Decorate the wedding with lavender wreaths and pots of lavender and allow the scent waft right through to give your venue a soft, summer fragrance

You may use lavender to produce an essential oil you can use for massage to assuage headaches and promote sleep and relaxation. Maybe a concept for a wedding favor?

When you are looking at looking out for lavender Go, then you will love the option available at Dessy (in various fabrics from lace to filmy chiffon). The shade you most likely want to go for is 'Passion' even though you could mix things up with the 'Lavender Garden' print dresses.

Here's a variety to get you thinking - sleeveless, sleeved, flower girl, or perhaps a grown-up number for any teen bridesmaid.
