Life goes on....

 I'm in a much better mood now and thank you all for your support and sweet comments...

 Life goes on for sure.... 

And what a better way to remind ourselves that we're alive, than by adding some yellow to our outfits and let some sunshine in! Although not my favourite colour, yellow does warm up the picture and my heart!

 Remember the yellow trendy cardi I forced myself to buy last fall? I wore it only once through remixing, here. I thought I'd give it another chance, before I finish my remix. (which was planned to finish during the weekend, but oh well... bear with me a little longer!).

 

 To make it extra silly happy, I added my new brooch, the "Home sweet home", which you've seen half finished here. As soon as I finished it, I had an idea! Not only this is a happy, lovely brooch to wear, but it would make a cute house decoration too!  So I added a wreath to the picture. Here I am while making it (and glueing my fingers on the carpet...)!

 And here is the finished product: the "Home, sweet home" brooch+wreath!! (...or breath... or wrooch?!... never mind!). 

Tah-daah!

More of those beauties to come!

A gloomy Sunday

 This Sunday didn't start as a bad one, although I've been having a weird feeling all week... It soon turned into an awful day that I want to forget as soon as possible.... Our kitty was just found dead.... 

 That's him playing with a log a couple of nights ago... I can't believe we've lost him. 

 George went for a walk with Billy (our dog) and when he came back I knew something terribly wrong had happened. He was pale and told me the bad news. He saw Cartman dead in the middle of the street, hit by a car.... Cartman was the kitty's name as you have guessed: he was the only male in the pack, the youngest, funniest and the one we both raised from a stray kitty.

 His life was short, but full of happy moments. He was a fighter and that was established as soon as he ran out of a garbage bin and followed George and Billy home! Animals have such an instinct for good people. And he found good people and a good company and he lived his short life with us....

 And now we have to go on like nothing big happened and to live knowing that he won't be sleeping on his pillow, he's not gonna play finger-football again (he would grab our hands and kick with his back feet... awesome!), he's not gonna stalk us again when we open the door and he's not gonna talk to us again... (yeah... he was a talking cat!). We also have to live knowing that in this country nobody gets punished for driving with over 90 km/hour in a quiet narrow street resulting dead cats or kids..... and causing all that pain to others...

 We' ve both been crying for a while... so I guess this post is for closure and I'm sorry I'm blackening yet another weekend...

So long little fellow.

Rest in peace. We loved you a lot...

Thanks for loving us back no matter what....

Quickie outfit post!

                  Hey!! It's the weekend!! Yayyy!

Here I am catching some of the morning sun!  First time I felt so warm and I think spring is here to stay this time! No more cold days! 

Outfit:

Skirt - I&D, local store

Top - Asos
Jacket - Urban Outfitters
Scarf - gift

Belt - Really old/can't remember

Shoes - Hunter

Glasses - Dior

 That's not a mean look... It's a "too hot for spring, maybe we should go for swimming?" look!

See you next time!

One top....two skirts

 Back to a more normal blogging routine! I'm fine now and already took care of some unfinished projects. The weather is warming up, we have our ups and downs, but spring is on the way fast!!

 So.. back to remixing those outfits, cause hey... I might be slow, but I'm not a quitter!!

 The basis here is a combination of a burgundy top, a blue sleeveless one and a grey cardigan! 

 For the first outfit it's worn with a chocolate brown skirt, boots and belt to kind of keep it simple and neutral. Oh, and the "Flower Power Girl" necklace - first time seen here! Although I've made this necklace having in mind a summer outfit - something like "a romantic white dress floating in the wind and I'm walking barefoot on a sandy beach" sort of outfit - I can now see it's pretty verstile and can be incorporated in winter outfits as well!! Me.Happy!

 

 For the second outfit, since the top combination is already loud, I've paired it with a louder skirt, just for the fun of it! I think it works with the floral skirt, what do you think?

 By the way, these are views of our balcony and my lousy attempts in gardening!

A flashback to the past....

 Hey everybody! Thank you for all your concern and kind comments! I'm all better now (though still coughing a little bit and on to antibiotics for 3 more days). 

 I'm apparently in no mood for dressing up, plus life caught up with me and I have to do A LOT of housework (bliah!): washing balconies, cleaning,, washing clothes, ironing e.t.c. I also have to put some prices on the jewellery I've made, because people keep asking me and I don't know what to say yet! 

 So just to keep in touch I thought it'd be fun to share some pics from the past and the embarassement that goes with them!! Here we go:

Here I am rocking white-framed sunglasses!

....going topless

Holding my baby brother on our parents bed (age 5)

"Helping" dad drive his fishing boat, while dragging my own boat!

Dancing traditional folk songs (age 9)... Notice the hip fuchsia geek glasses! 

 

 Skipping the awkward high school years (early 90's - sooooo ugly, I don't even have any pics!), here I am in my early 20's (short hair rule!!!)

Trip to some greek island (I suck at remembering names...) / on the boat

Corporate years... ohhh the glitter!! (age 22)

Happy "art" years in college!/ trip with the classmates in Italy (age 25)

My working outfit!! Talking about serious "bad hair days" here...! (2 years ago)

 Now, if those pics aren't the proof that I was always advanced in fashion then I don't know what is!! See ya in a couple of days!! xxx
