A nasty cold & a mustache

I've been suffering from a nasty cold for days now, and it has gotten to a point where I'm completely gross and contagious :( I had no energy whatsoever for blogging, crafty stuff or the Shop-To-Be this past week, but instead of beating myself up over it, I just indulged in my own misery ;)

I did receive an early christmas present from our mailman however: my Asos dresses + my new kick-ass boots arrived much earlier than expected!! :) And before I hop unto my couch with a cup of tea and a big bowl of self-pity, here's a close up of my new dress - covered in little moons and stars! - and my brand new necklace I got from Asos ;)



A little bigger than I had expected, but ah well ;) So........

... must dash ;)

It's beginning to look a lot like... CHRISTMAS, BABY!!! :D

And not because I'm busy decorating a tree, making presents for my family or enjoying my happy holiday spirit...

It's because I am window shopping....... FOR MYSELF!!!! :D



Hell, I'm not even buying stuff (yet), but looking at all the pretty stuff out there really cheers me up ;)

And before you know it...



... your Asos-wishlist looks like this...

:S

Voice A in my head:

"Don't buy anything. Save your money. Be WISE."

Voice B:

BUY

ALL

THE

THINGS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

I'm so weak.... :(

Je t'aime... elle aime :)

I feel like the luckiest person in the world: not only have we been experiencing the most wonderful post-summer weather EVER around here, I also still happen to be off from work :) So after a week of hangin' around in The Wild, enjoying picknicks and the sunshine, I decided it was time to venture into The City for a little shopping trip.

I had a lot of fun in Rotterdam, but the highlight was without a doubt a visit to Rotabs Stylecenter, an amazing concept where people can rent little shops to sell their own handmade products.



You can imagine my jealousy of a dream job like that!! ;) I especially loved elle aime, one of the little shops that sells loads of crafty goodness from several designers. Just browsing through their collection made me feel all happy and inspired! :)



And of course, I couldn't control myself... ;) Check out the pretty stuff I took home with me!



A beautiful movable cat by Jordan Grace Owens...



A pocket mirror with a little fox on it by Claire Hartigan...



The perfect button for crafters...



And three cute postcards!



How I love my new little treasures! :) I can't wait to start crafting again myself...



... right after the gorgeous weather has left us!! ;)

Oops, I did it again...

Buying dresses that is :)

With all the shitty things that are going on in the world these days, I tend to suffer from escapism from time to time... It is exactly what happened today, when a co-worker forwarded me a link to online store Asos and I noticed they ship for free. Two minutes and three dresses later I realised I really didn't need any dresses, but it was already too late: my order had been placed :)

And I must admit: I don't mind I didn't stop myself at all ;)




I love these colours so much!! But the one I love even more??



TADAAAAH! :D Isn't this the happiest dress you've ever seen?!? :) I tell you: it's almost as happy as me for being able to wear it soon ;)

Bring back the summer please!!! :)
