I had supreme Style Blogger Nikki Parkinson to stay for a few days while we attended some functions last week, one of which was a Stoli Party to celebrate vodka. Like you do. So today my stylish friend is guest posting for me, which is great as I have to go to school and watch the Jump Rope For Heart Display Charity Skip Off.

Weekend afternoon siestas are not optional and come complete with self-satisfying drooling and baby snores.
