The weekly wrap-up of all things splendrous!

x Grand Meetings - Eeeeeeeeek. So, on Wednesday afternoon, my boyfriend and I made an appointment to discuss one of the things that we have ALWAYS dreamed about, but have secretly kind of feared due to the possible instance of being laughed out of the building.. and that is, to purchase a place of our own! We organised to meet with a loan specialist with the notion that even if we WERE met with hysterical cackling and swift rejection, we would at least be educated with more information on how to make ourselves more attractive as borrowers for the future.. but after a couple of hours of assembling documents of our savings histories, reviewing our salaries and planning our goals, we were (amazingly!) pre-approved for a home loan! It feels a little bit scary, and massively daunting, but mostly? I'm just so excited! I'm really looking forward to not only finding a little place to decorate, but to be setting my life up with someone I love, as well.

x Organising & Sorting - With a move on the agenda, I've been trawling through every nook and cranny of my cupboards and drawers, methodizing everything into keep, donate or Ebay piles, and even though it can be a bit of a laborious process, my inner Virgo can't help but relish in the structure!

x Principessa Delights -I've lusted after Principessa products for a while; they're not only the kinds of products that make perfect bathroom accessories, but the ones that smell insanely beautiful AND feel beneficial to your skin, too! Which is why I was extremely chuffed when Sam of Sassi Sam! gifted me with the decadent body cream and sugar scrub as a parting thank-you gift for interning with her for the past two weeks.. it was a lovely gesture, and working with her was such a valuable (and fun!) learning experience.

x Other Little Things - Tool; Sam's sweet tweet: ''I love having an intern, I want one all the time :-) Well I want this intern all the time, she's so awesome :-) @frockandroll'' (awwww!) and brainstorming, writing and editing with her; remembering to drink lots of water; Amanda Cole's I Hate Cinderella; cuddles; transformations; and actually anticipating returning to my studies next week: I've missed everyone!

So.. tell me! Dinners? Latenight drinks? Acting on a wish, admiring skirts with a swish? What are you celebrating as the weekend approaches? How was YOUR week?
