002: twenty thirteen


my iphone (almost!) replaced my dslr as it is just so handy to take everywhere and it has really helped document this whirlwind of a year. whilst i've been absent for just over half a year on this little blog of mine i can't think of a better way to round up the year with a post of all my iphone photographs from 2013. however, having just written that i've only just realised i got my iphone in may so there are a few months missing! but i hope you enjoy my almost a year round up as much as i enjoyed reminiscing on everything that has happened. i really love seeing these posts from people and utter my favourite has been lyzi's from being little, but please feel free to leave your own links to your 2013/round up posts.

001: welcome to miaou or never!

_DSC2574 copy1


hello everyone, it’s been so long (in fact it's been seven months) but… ta da! there are still a few of adjustments to be made however, what do you think of the new layout/blog!‘miaou or never’ get it? so, miaou do you do? no, enough of the cat puns lily. it's a little kitty twist on 'carpe diem' i guess but, this isn't me getting all jack and finn rickshaw run on you, unfortunately i'll never be that cool. it's more of a 'lily just say yes/ do more' kind of thing. the lovely grace from urban hype creative has worked so hard on it, and i have to say i'm kinda of in love. it kind of feels weird to be blogging again but, all i can say at the moment is i’m so excited about sharing all of the new things that have happened since june(?!) – which is a lot. undeniably my favourite is alex. yup, if you’ve been on any of my other social media sites you’ll probably know now just how smitten i am (and in true pda style, he'll appear in a few posts). a lot of the advice i got from everyone was “blog for yourself". after all in the beginning when i set up ‘emily’s heart’ which lead to be ‘red brick lipstick’ it was purely a diary for me to keep track of everything so i'm going back to the blog i started in 2010 and sharing the things i do, love and would like. i hope you all had a lovely christmas and i’ll be back tomorrow!


lots of love, lily
