The hotel was amazing as it's location was utterly convenient, and it's interior made me feel like I was sleeping in a giant Versaillesque dollhouse. I already showed you some of the photographs I took in the previous post (and thanks everyone for leaving such nice comments about them!) and here are a couple more: </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/</span></a><br /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">When I returned from Paris, having bought nothing more than some underwear and a striped cardigan, I convinced myself that it was ok to indulge in some (online) shopping to acquire those much needed essentials. Like a pair of creme coloured converse sneakers for spring (haven't owned a pair of those in years), a couple of lightweight v necks, and a loose silk cardigan. Yet I still feel like I'm nowhere near wardrobe completion. Sometimes I think that I'm never going to reach the point of having that perfect wardrobe I'm so "desperately" aiming for... </span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">I've also been once again thinking about which direction I want my 'style' to take this year (typing that out makes it sound so silly) and to be honest, I don't think it's going to change much from where it's been going during the past year. I think I have a pretty solid idea of what I like these days, and therefor I've decided that I can afford a bit of experimenting. So now I'm kind of contemplating on how I should do that. The idea is to add some sort of 'bold' piece of clothing or accessory to my wardrobe. </span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/taper-jean-girl/?action=view&current=Image2-4.png" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/taper-jean-girl/Image2-4.png" border="0" /></span></a></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">One potential candidate is this skirt from APC's spring collection. I love it's colour and the shape of those pockets is pretty magnificent, but it's 100% woolen and I think paying 130 euros for a woolen skirt that's meant to be worn during spring and summer isn't exactly the most sensible thing to do. </span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i44.tinypic.com/fedhme.png" border="0" /></a></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">On a totally different note, has anyone checked out the Vanessa Bruno website lately? If you haven't, you really should, because it's a little piece of heaven. The new campaign featuring Lou Doillon is so stunning! And I simply love the new Athe collection!</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">The colours, the designs, it's wonderful ♥</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/smghgx.png" border="0" /></a></p>mmrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08561210404005725848noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239944673109927201.post-17338978562788371962009-01-20T03:45:00.001-08:002009-01-20T04:09:52.189-08:004 days in Paris<p align="center"><a href="http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/taper-jean-girl/?action=view&current=Image4-2.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/taper-jean-girl/Image4-2.png" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;">1. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209990035/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Reaumur Sebastopol</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 2. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209989279/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Blanche</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 3. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209981509/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Champs de Mars</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 4. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209982091/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Anvers deux</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 5. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3210826928/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Rambuteau</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 6. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209980103/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Hotel de Ville</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 7. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3210829350/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Anvers</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 8. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3210828780/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Pigalle</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 9. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209973173/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Louvre Rivoli</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 10. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3210817568/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Tuilleries</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 11. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209801341/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Arts et Metiers</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 12. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209801331/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Reaumur Sebastopol trois</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 13. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209972453/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Palais Royal - Musee du Louvre</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 14. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209801323/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Sevres Babylone</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 15. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3210815790/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Reaumur Sebastopol deux</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 16. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide/3209801317/in/set-72157612710753663/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Hotel de Roubaix</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">more at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide">http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide</a></span> </p>mmrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08561210404005725848noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239944673109927201.post-56438367592902043672009-01-15T00:10:00.000-08:002009-01-15T00:10:00.495-08:00Je depart a Paris<p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/far0wy.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">If I were a religious person I'd probably be shouting something along the lines of 'praise the lord' right now, because the trip to Paris is definitely taking place.

I could, however, reschedule the trip, which would mean we'd have to go a day later. I reluctantly did so, as the only other option was to not go to Paris at all. Unfortunately they couldn't give me a guarantee for this trip to actually take place either, or at least not until a week before the departure date.<br />Well that's just fantastic, isn't it? Now I'm anxiously checking my mail every hour, worrying that this trip get's cancelled as well. So much for looking forward to Paris.<br /><br />With all this 'drama' going on, I felt like I had no other choice than to comfort myself with buying the Athé Vanessa Bruno dress I mentioned earlier. I received it a couple of days ago and it really is as perfect as I'd imagined it to be. I know I'll be wearing it a lot during spring and summer and it's really versatile as it can be worn as both a dress and a top.<br /><br />As long as we're on the topic of what to wear, I feel like every year, at the beginning of the year, I have this huge crisis when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. I all of a sudden feel the need to reinvent myself, and revive my wardrobe, even when there's actually nothing wrong with it (as would be the case right now) It's probably because of the holidays, I'm telling you, those black sequins and glitter tights are the devil's spawn. After being surrounded by them for a week or so, I am tempted to dress up like some sparkly party decoration EVERY DAY, even and especially when there's no reason for celebration. I'm sure that come February this severe case of discofever will have died down, but until then, I shall have to try very hard to refrain myself from clicking the 'add to basket' button whenever I come across something glittery on the web.<br /><br />Since yesterdaymorning the streets have been covered in at least 15cm's of snow, don't think that has happened in the the last five years. And it's cold, freezing cold. I'm glad there are such things as moonboots because without them I probably would have already lost a toe or two to frostbite. Especially since my bloodcirculation is so messed up.

So unfortunately this post won't be as elaborate as I promised yesterday. To get back to your comments, the concert was indeed fantastic, they played for more than an hour, although I wouldn't have minded if they played all night. And I got to see Alex Kapranos up close, eventhough at first we didn't even realise it was him, which was quite confusing and funny at the same time. Anyway, they did this great drum routine (something pretty similar to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmuPT6xXq6E">this</a>) at the end of their song Outsiders which was unbelievably cool. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">On a completely different note, last weekend we had our first days of snow here in the Netherlands. I just loved it! I've always enjoyed snow, it reminds me of Christmas, which is my absolute favourite holiday of the year.

George and Mariah are my new best friends for the next few weeks. </p><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/29dgzkg.png" border="0" /></a></p><p>Wednesday I'll be turning 21, the magical number.

Having a general feeling of being ok taking over? When little things start making you happy again? Well, whether you do or don't -and I hope everyone does-, it's a great feeling. It really is.<br /><br />And some of those little things that do the trick are Gia Coppola's photographs, a last name that seems to be synonymous to endless visual talent. </span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/v7ts2v.png" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/aa94yc.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2w5j29v.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/20arsds.png" border="0" /></a> </p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">To my utter joy, our trip to Paris is finally <u>booked</u>!

Reading them always brings a smile to my face! To answer the most asked question: the trousers are from H&M, hence the pretty pricetag.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Also, someone asked me about the fur jacket. Well, I can assure you that it's a faux one. I am disgusted by real fur and would never wear it. </span><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2qdwtxw.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">Obviously, I felt like writing a post today, but I didn't really have a clue of what it should be about. So I figured I'd just start by sharing some new purchases with you (however boring that might be). </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Thursday I went to a thriftstore and there I found these pretty camera's. Eventhough I already own a polaroid sx 70 camera, this one came with an external flash, so I couldn't possibly pass it up!<br />As I was so happy with my subscription to Vogue Paris, I decided to subscribe to Jalouse as well. There's just something about French magazines that appeals to me (you know, the certain je ne sais qoui factor ;)). And they're amazingly cheap, even when you take in the pretty high shipping rates. I already mentioned my new dvdbox in my last post and then there's Bulgakov's the Master and Margarita. It's such an amazing book, but unfortunately, I never got the chance, or took the time, to finish it. I'm sure that now it's waiting in my bookcase, that will happen soon though.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">No explanation needed:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/15mmt53.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:78%;">1. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephparke/2980053326/"><span style="font-size:78%;">#13</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 2. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/condrey/2261639919/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Real Big Swing</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 3. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/heymreric/1583592173/"><span style="font-size:78%;">aoi_yu_dandelion_008.jpg</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 4. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trevortriano/2790322408/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 5. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/federico_erra/2519501872/"><span style="font-size:78%;">LastLeti</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 6. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/little-branches/195805213/"><span style="font-size:78%;">nice hat</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 7. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariannelecarrour/328079474/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Cold City - Paranoia</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 8. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jackie-mottoo/2436408788/"><span style="font-size:78%;">untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 9. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nalilord/2652464606/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">A while ago some of you asked me about my paper cranes, well here they are:<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/307nc79.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">Last but not least, I was wondering, is there something else you want to see on this blog?

Those words seem particularly true today. After <s>wasting</s> spending an hour at the local optician I decided that I deserved something tasty and bought a golden box filled with delicious Belgian chocolates. Then when I came home I found a little package on the kitchen table, in it was a dvd box, containing the whole first season of Jericho, aka one of my all time favourite series! So my afternoon turned out to be quite pleasant. Ok that must have sounded completely random, but so be it.<br /><br />Apart from the above, there's actually some more good news, although I have to say, nothing's certain yet. It seems that I'll be visiting my chere Paris pretty soon! Together with my mother I am planning a trip and if all goes well (fingers crossed) we will be going there somewhere by the end of january/beginning of february. As a late birthday trip pour moi. So I reckon there will be a lot of shopping involved! I'm already saving up some money.<br /><br />Here are some more beautiful photographs from flickr I felt like sharing with you:</span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2i5380.png" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">1. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16352113@N00/2616376906/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 2. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kiitos55/390176593/"><span style="font-size:78%;">sx70229s</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 3. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/markedlymore/2501185940/"><span style="font-size:78%;">no</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 4. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/violetjuliaart/2951049859/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 5. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremypettis/2952688198/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Where's Erick 3</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 6. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/inverselive/2944940342/"><span style="font-size:78%;">開拔</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 7. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/art_for_arts_sake/2934241143/"><span style="font-size:78%;">T o u c h i n g .</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 8. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianrio/2950318024/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Casting Spells.</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">, 9. </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9400596@N05/2037728374/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Untitled</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> </p></span><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/20ucy76.png" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">Last friday I went to Antwerpen and there I bought this rather interesting pair of trousers.

So now it's once again friday, which seems to have become my new favourite day to blog, and I have no idea what to write about. Yet at the same time I don't feel like waiting around for inspiration to flutter by, because I'm sure that would only make things worse. So I'll just start by apologising for my extreme negligence when it comes to answering comments and actually leaving them on other blogs. For some reason I really suck at doing both of those things. Trust me, I will try to work on that. In the meantime just know that your comments are all very much appreciated!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Perhaps I should share something that's a bit more personal. You probably haven't noticed this due to my already sparse blogging, but lately I haven't been feeling well. During the last 6 weeks I got pretty sick, not just once, but three times to be exact. And in between I felt really bad, especially mentally. It felt as if my head was stuck in some sort of unpleasant haze and there was no way out of it. It was quite scary actually, to the point where I was feeling anxious all the time. But luckily, last week turned out to be the first week in a very long time that I actually felt like my normal self again! And I'm unimaginably happy about that!</span><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/ogvwg2.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">To celebrate that cheerful fact I went a little crazy with buying dvd's this week (just ignore my weird taste in movies, I simply can't help the fact that my cinematical preferences are pretty much all over the place). At least now I won't have to worry for at least another two weeks how to get through those boring evenings.</span><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/2qjas1w.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">I also decided to get all girly and bakey and made a whole bunch of heart shaped cupcakes. It was a brilliant idea because they were absolutely delicious, the creme topping tasted pretty much devine!<br /></span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2hziz61.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">Talking about sweets and girlyness, Chloé's latest collection seriously reminded me of pastries. So obviously I had no choice but to like it. If you want to win me over, connect something, anything, to food and I won't be able to resist it. It's a miracle I haven't reached the size of a whale yet.<br /></span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/ih43t2.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">I also happened to order these beauties from asos. And they arrived, quelle surprise, after only two days. Now that's what I call a vast improvement!<br /><br />Took these two polaroids yesterday. I'm going to take a couple more this afternoon, so if you want to know how those turn out, have a look at my </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_monoxide"><span style="font-size:85%;">flickr</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">, I'll upload them there asap!</span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://nl.tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/5wb992.png" border="0" /></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;">I suppose that's all for know. I wish everyone a very pleasant weekend! Au revoir!</span>mmrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08561210404005725848noreply@blogger.com17
