The great thing about working from home is being able to see your friends (who also work from home) for an impromptu picnic in the middle of the week. For a couple of hours, the weather was actually on our side and we were able to sit in a little garden and chat about life, boys and the evils of the internet (I might actually dedicate a whole post to the evils of the internet - in the meantime, read this).
I really have to stop with the digressions. Having unearthed those navy H&M trousers, I am falling deeper and deeper into my usual springtime nautical look. It will get boring at some point, and if you remember well, it is not AT ALL what my plans for a spring wardrobe were. I wanted muted colours, looks like I might have got lost along the way. Fashion habits are hard to get out of.

I am trying really hard to get out of the house this week, after having suffered from an acute case of hermititis lonesomis for a few weeks. Monday night, I went to see Monsters vs. Aliens at the IMAX, I felt like a child and wanted to clap everytime something was happening in the film. The 3D really is spectacular, and the animation close to perfection. It also made me want white hair really bad, but you can imagine that my hair would be a b**** to dye white (or cotton candy pink - my dream hair colour).

Oh you look so cute! They're really nice photos too.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading that article on KoS the other day, I had some nasty comments about myself, on an anonymous Livejournal community! I mean really, if you're gonna say you find me annoying, say it to my face instead of cowardly. I was more disappointed and annoyed by it than upset. People wouldn't say that to anyone in real life so why say it online?!
We must do lunch in a a park one day. Although for now we might have to do dinner / breakfast over Skype. Love the new background too.
ReplyDeletei like those blue shoes.
ReplyDeleteBut, if the clothing isn't vintage, I make the photo look so, I found this yesterday. I don't know whether you know this: http://labs.wanokoto.jp/olds
you hair looks fab : )
ReplyDeleteAnd I know what you mean about the whole nautical thing, I can't seem to get away from it despite what season it is.
I love your outfit! Being rather partial to the nautical look myself, it's definitely something you can never go wrong with... ;)
ReplyDeleteAww I like your nautical looks! There's still a few months left of spring and summer for you to rock your original idea =)
ReplyDeleteFreya - Thanks for the link, it is a fun one. If I want to make my photos look more vintage, I generally just use photoshop. But I am not desperate for all my photos to look old :-)
ReplyDeleteCarrie, Casey - We are ready to board that cruise ship together I think.
Helen - I completely agree, people would never come up to you in real life and insult you to your face, so I don't see why they feel they can do it online.
SKM - I really wish we could get together for lunch! I suppose skype dinner/breakfast is the next best thing till one of us travels across the world.
Emily - Let's hope so! I might end up being lazy in stripes till november!
cool photos my dear! :) I like that jacket and the broche..
ReplyDeletexx-LJ from SOS!

White hair would be great! Although I find that I am always dressing like a 60 year old woman, maybe that's just the next step.
ReplyDeleteI used to dye my hair every color imaginable, white is a pain!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos. I love the nautical look as well, I always feel I over do it by going all sailoresque so often but I really can't help it.
ReplyDeleteI still havent seen Monsters vs. Aliens, I really want to, someone I know who saw it said it has a very Dr. Strangelove vibe to it which intrigues me.
I wish I could get my hair white... I still havent succedded.

How do you make the bow looks so good. I look like a .. well theres no words. I can see why you like the nautical look, stripes!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlixrose - I also look like a bit of a c*** when I wear a giant bow on my head, but I don't care because I love them so much!
ReplyDeleteI think you look amazing, even if it isn't all vintage. Sometimes making the new look classic is just as lovely!
ReplyDeleteHie! I think you're really cute, have cool clothes, and you seems to be a kind person who have a lot ot fun.
ReplyDeleteI wont ask you to check in my blog, cause i don't think you'd understand a word (swedish you know). But anyhow, i want to tell you to keep up your good work!
BIG Swedish hug from Julia.
My two favorite ladies!! You both look gorge as always! Also the header looks sexy!!!!
ReplyDeleteJulia - Thank you! I suppose I am going to have to learn Swedish! I look at so many Swedish blogs and get frustrated that I can't understand... Also I am going to Stockholm soon and I really wish I understood Swedish!
ReplyDeleteAgent Lover - I thought that might give you a lady boner. *proud face*
I love the new header and I love these photos.
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion, love!

Coraline in 3D blew me away! We've come a long way since Spy Kids 3D!
ReplyDeleteelle est classe ta nouvelle bannière!!
ReplyDeleteJulia - Yeah! I was thinking of the Captain Eo MJ movie in Disneyland and comparing to Monsters vs. Aliens. haha.
ReplyDeleteCremlystella - Ca vous plait? C'est moi qui l'ai faite. Et je ne mens meme pas. Ca m'a pris la journee de changer tout. Ca va?
"hermititis lonesomis" -- that's a bad illness. I've had it too.
ReplyDeleteWow, you look beautiful! The second look is my favorite, but both look supercute! And I love the nautical-theme; blue/white stripes are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI looove your outfits!!! you're the cutest ^^ I love the bow in your hair & the blazer. the colors are the best.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your outfit posts.
love, dayna
The new header is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYou AND LouLou are adorable. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteha ben vi ça me plaît c'est même meilleur que le gâteau au chocolat vendu par valerie lemercier!
ReplyDeleteCremlystella - Ah et puis il est bon en plus. Je sais parce que ma maman me fait le coup du gateau en boite a chaque fois.
ReplyDeleteLove the look! Now all you need are these anchor button earrings http://vividotstore.com/nautical-anchor-earrings.html
ReplyDeleteMolly - Thank these earrings are really cute. Unfortunately I don't really wear earrings. I am more of a necklace/brooch kinda gal.
ReplyDeleteYou could definitely do candy pink! Unfortunately it is a matter of a lot of time and money :( but you would look fantastic. Love the photos, I am envious of your hair-styling ability.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute blog!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteNow I feel like running out into the garden!
That last shot is hot! Love your blog by the way...
