I try and be fairly productive with my time, I have a busy schedule and love going to parties and meet ups and excursions. When I am at home for a day I write myself up a to-do list with little hearts which I tick as I do each task (and if I finish them all I draw a tiara ) However, I have to accept that there are some days that are meant to be spent doing nothing.

Nothing days are days dedicated to enjoying the pure lack of any comittments, you can stay in your pajamas, read a book in bed, watch old movies and not cook a thing for yourself. I don’t reccomend having them to often, but once in a while its nice to let go of the need to dress up and go somewhere or do something. These links may offer amusement for a few minutes or a few hours when you have nothing better to do, or are avoiding doing something you don’t want to!

Orisinal : Morning Sunshine
Easily the cutest flash games site on the internet! A friend sent me this link a few months ago, and whenever I feel like a little pick me up I love going to play the cute animal themed games. They’re all rather simple to play and the graphics range from cute and cuddly to greeting-cardesque. My favourite game is ‘Starry Night’ because I love the music, its like a lullaby, and the little stars make me smile.

Poupee Girl
This site is a little addictive for anyone who loves cute fashions and dress up dolls! It’s a japanese website designed for creating a photo-catalogue of your wardrobe. You upload photos of clothes and accessories you own and are rewarded with ‘ribbons’ which act as a currency to purchase clothes for your little avatar. I really enjoy the chance to look through other people’s wardrobes and have discovered some new favourite brands this way. You can see my Poupee Girl here, her name is Miu. Please feel free to friend me!

Etsy
Etsy knows how to make shopping fun. Apart from being a great place to find handmade items and crafts, they have some really original search functions. I love using the Color function to find an item in my favourite shade of powder pink, or maybe a rich dark blue. The Geolocator lets you spin a virtual globe to browse items from all over the world, but my favourite way to shop is using the Connections function, you need to be logged in and have some favourites saved, but it creates a beautiful cloud of images by connecting the items you like, finding other people who liked them and showing you what else they like. Most of the cute stuff I have found on etsy has been through this system. Sometimes window shopping really is more fun!

Polyvore
Oh dear, here is where the part of me that secretly wants to work for a fashion magazine comes out! I spent about an hour on Polyvore this evening creating this adorable little coordinate. Its for a Valentine’s Day picnic, cute little gingham dress, straw hat, roses and a basket of pink candy hearts. Polyvore lets you play with images from thousands of sites to create magazine style spreads of your favourite look. It’s great for trying new ideas and developing your sense of style, you can even add images yourself and I noticed quite a lot of lolita in there. I think it’s best thing since photoshop!
