LOLA'S LITTLE CONFESSIONAL!















My dear readers, my little confessional this Blue Monday concerns Alice in Wonderland. Not the film, I hasten to add, but the original story. Although I was a voracious reader as a child, I simply HATED AiW and, equally, Through The Looking Glass!

For a seven-year-old, AiW seemed to me like a world of weird dreams - or rather nightmares. Alice, for instance, expands and diminishes; she has to learn to move backwards to go forwards when she is through the looking glass; progress in her looking-glass world is in mad rushes and jumps at inordinate speeds across the chessboard. How weird is that for a seven-year old’s imagination to comprehend, to elucidate?

Dear readers, what do you think? Am I being unfair? Is there a huge gap in Lola’s literary education that needs instant plugging?

P.S. And while we’re talking about it, what’s your greatest confession (literary or otherwise)?

Mwah!

XOXO LOLA:)

A LITTLE OF WHAT LOLA LOVES: GEORGE'S LAKE COMO VILLA!








George Clooney is selling his Lake Como villa for £26 m to escape the paparazzi. The Beckhams are, reportedly, fiercely attempting to purchase it - because of the paparazzi.

You couldn't make it up! What's your take? Am I being overly cynical? Do the Beckhams have as much right to paparazzi as George has to privacy?

A LITTLE OF WHAT LOLA LOVES!

My dear readers, well, the good news is I’m back (Nora’s been on a very long business trip!) but the bad news is this dreadful weather - rain, floods and snow (well, not here in Andalucia yet!) So I thought you might like to soothe your eyes by having a look at some beautiful objets d’art!






I love beautiful handbags, watches and shoes in particular! So, to start us off, here are some bags... Please do let me know which one(s) you like best or least! Enjoy!
