Inspired By… Downton Abbey

Inspired By... 22 Feb

The minute I saw that waggy little tail appearing on the screen while the orchestral score swelled during the opening credits of Downton Abbey I knew I was hooked. But although it got me with a loyal labrador, what’s kept me glued to my screen is the scandalous storylines, the forbidden love affairs, and the breathtaking fashion of the iconic turn of the century era. Prepare to be inspired by Downtown Abbey…

Inspired By… Bridesmaids, The Movie

Inspired By... 03 Oct

Welcome to a new column at Pretty Fluffy where I take some fluffy inspiration from books, movies, TV and music…

In my opinion, Bridesmaids is possibly the funniest movie ever made. Between the stand-out performances of Kristen “Maid of Dishonour” Wiig, scene stealer Melissa “I’m glad he’s single because I’m going to climb that like a tree” McCarthy, and the rest of the hilarious cast, there wasn’t a second when I wasn’t laughing like a crazy person. And did I mention there were puppies?

Not to ruin things for anyone that hasn’t seen it, the scene alone of Melissa’s McCarthy’s character, Megan, driving down the freeway with her precious stolen cargo was the inspiration for this post…

You can’t have Bridesmaids without bridesmaid dresses. I’m loving the modern, yet feminine designs of Alfred Sung.
The perfect accessory for a flower dog from ban.do. Simply affix with a ribbon to your pooch’s collar for the ceremony.
The perfect registry gift. Loving this LOVE mirror from Wedding List Co.
Bridesmaids DVD available at Amazon. Buy it NOW. NOW!
Instead of puppy favours (watch the movie, you’ll know what I’m talking about) – why not make a donation to your favourite animal charity in lieu of take home gifts.
Get your honeymoon off to a fun start with this puppy luggage tag from Peter Alexander.
