No Room For Make Up

I thought it would be easier to write an interesting post if I limited myself to writing just one a week, but apparently, it doesn't work that way. 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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 flickr, I'll upload them there asap!

I suppose that's all for know. I wish everyone a very pleasant weekend! Au revoir!

Lovers in Japan

I'm feeling quite happy today. It's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do for your mood! So I went out for a walk, took some photographs and danced to Coldplay's newest proof of genius aka Lovers in Japan.
I also made this collage. It's nothing special but I just love all of these images and they completely represent how I want to look these next few months!

Yesterday I got my cat mask in the mail. I didn't really need a cat mask, (as my nights as catwoman are a thing of the past) but I still liked the idea of a cat face gracing the side of my mirror. So I ordered one. And it's ridiculously cute! I think I'm going to dress up Max as a little kitten later today, I'm sure he'll enjoy that! I also received KOL's newest cd, which is BRILLIANT.

Chadwick Tyler is one of those photographers whose work gets better everytime you see it. If you like these I'd suggest you take a look at www.chadwicktyler.com for more of his beautiful work...

I watched Memoirs of a Geisha yesterday and it was beautiful! The costumes and the scenery are heaven. If you haven't seen it yet, I would seriously recommend it!

have a happy weekend!

Viva la Vida

The ever so lovely tea drinking english rose surprised me with a wonderful blog award! Now that is one gift that is always welcome! Merci beaucoup :)
For this award I'm going to nominate heart in a cage, mila, joanne, allure, luyi and jillian!

Talking about lovely things, last week I came across these polaroids of Michelle Williams from boy by band of outsiders and I ADORE them. Michelle is so adorable and both the light and colours in these photographs are beautiful!

I was actually lucky enough to be given yet another pretty award, this one by the charming Luyi. Thank you! If you ask me, daydream lily, knight cat, sophie jade, the search for chic and mettch all deserve this award as well, so I will pass it on to them!

Now it's time for something completely different. Last friday I received a packet from Hong Kong, carrying a bunch of new instax cassettes! Took a few photographs over the weekend but I'm not quite sure how I feel about them. Nevertheless, I'm still very excited about my Instax camera!

One last thing I really need to share (oui, it's indeed a pathetic cry for sympathy) is the following. Last week I was stupid enough to cut my hair. And since I'm fully aware of the fact that great minds think alike, even when it comes to stupid actions, I wasn't surprised when I saw Kate Moss with the same haircut I got. But can anyone tell me why she looks insanely cool with her new hairdo while I look like a cross between a dorky 8 year old and a middle aged secretary?

I must never cut my hair again. Ever.
