H&M Wishlist

Every once in a while I don't really want do whatever I need to do. Like homework. Every few months I visit H&M's webshop to see what new items they have. And that's what I did two days ago. This is what I found.I love this coat. The colour is really beautiful. I don't need another coat and I promised to myself that I wouldn't buy one, because my old one is fine. But as you might know, I really like those military inspired jackets.
I think this is perfect for a simple party. It's quite classy, but still fun. I really like the neckline and the way those shirt studs don't make it look a little cheap. Because sometimes they do. And in this case it doesn't look cheap, but it is.
I can see myself sitting on the couch drinking warm chocolate and watching a movie with some friends. It looks warm and comfy. You can wear it on a stay-on-the-couch-all-day-and-do-as-less-as-possible-day, but also with jeans and a simple top when you go to school. :)
Like I said. I really don't need another coat. But that doesn't mean I can't look. I like the length of this one. Maybe not always that practical, but in some situations it can be a perfect coat. It looks warm and I like the grey. It's a beautiful coat. I have a weakness for these shoes. Ever since I first saw them in a H&M store in Belgium, I wanted to have them. But I know I wouldn't wear them a lot. I would just look at them. And that's not that practical. Unfortunately I decided not to buy them. Nevertheless, I love the old look they have. And the pink. Ahh. I still want them.
I like this blouse. It has an old feeling to it. And I like the little blue stripes. They probably look wonderful with a simple belt and some jeans.


And last but not least: Who doesn't need another comfortable blue pair of pyjamas??

What are your favourite H&M wardrobe pieces? Or which ones do you have on your wishlist?

Photographer: Elisabeth Toll

I found these amazing photographs. They're taken by Elisabeth Toll. They are really inspiring. I Love the wonderful use of colours, nature and light. I can't really find the words to describe them. Just stop with whatever you are doing right now and spend the next few minutes just watching these.


Which one do you love the most? Please comment..

Monet in a Dress

One particular dress really caught my eye when I watched an episode of Project Runway. The contestants had to use inspiration from a museum in LA and Gordana, one of the contestants, chose a wonderful painting from Monet. I love the dress she made. It's so beautiful. She really took the painting and made it into a dress. Just wanted to share.
The portal of Rouen in Morning Light by Claude Monet, 1894

The dress by Gordana Gehlhausen, Challenge of Project Runway

Have a nice weekend!

Post-it Love

And we're back!
Sorry for the enormous lack of posting and thank you Fleur for your birthdaywishes ^^ Really made my day! And that reminds me of a little post I read on another blog. BeautyGloss.nl (it's in Dutch). We all know how cute post-it notes can be. And I'm sure you've seen a lot of different posts on other blogs about it. But this one was different. It is a assignment to all of us. To make the world a happier place. I love love love the idea and I'll definitely help. This is the message:

Write a beautiful, simple, lovely, kind, happy message on a post-it note and stick it somewhere, where people can see it. It doesn't matter where. The idea is that when someone reads this message it will put a smile on his or her face. Just imagine you finding such a beautiful post it note which reminds you to smile. It would really make my day.

It's such a lovely idea. You could just write so many things. I personally would love to write something like a quote. 'Never give up the things that make you smile' 'Let's make better mistakes tomorrow' 'Smile and the world will smile back'I also read a part of the comments. A lot of them found a note. It's a lovely idea that you can make people you don't even know smile. One person wrote that a friend of her left little notes in library books. To cheer people up. I'm really in love with the idea.

Let's make some people smile!









(sorry for the crappy pics, i wrote them at first, but my camera didn't want to do what I wanted it to do. So I had to make them on the computer. And that worked very well either. But still. It's about the message ^^.)


And a little something to make you smile. Please watch:
