I’m sitting on the cosy sofa at my new – make believe – home as I’m typing this. alone. without camera. or iphone.

so this might end up in a screen-capture manifesto. or a bad picture post. or some kind of live blogging. either way, I feel happy about it.

• this totally made my day. coconut grove, brought to you by sweetest julia pott. so pretty, and summerish.

•• although this is taken with the photo app of my much treasured macbook (I’m so not endorsed by apple, as much as I might sound like), it does convey the sweet and colourful mood I’m in. perfect for sugar candy-coated dreams.

••• and here is a little story for your bedtime. as we were making macarons, the snorkeler spotted a couple of them that were shaped like acorns. knowing of fond of acorns I am, he gently gave them to me. the prettiest ever.
this memory will always be kept securely. I promise.

have a good night. xo.

blue seems to be everywhere at the moment. in fact, I strongly believe this might be the reason why I’ve been feeling so happy lately.

this and the snokeler, that is.

I have many things on my to-do list today. but I’ve decided I should just do three of them, so it somehow feels do-able.

• make a charlotte, with homemade biscuits cuillères, and a fromage blanc and raspberry mousse.
•• take a nap (this is going to happen very soon, probably before lunch; hmmmm sleep is good to me).
••• sort the things that have been sitting in boxes ever since I moved in – a short nine moths ago.

as off là maintenant tout de suite [very right now] I’m super*damn*happy. I’m not scared of what’s coming ahead anymore. in fact, I’m damn ready for it.

bring. it. on.

I can’t wait for october. I can’t wait to travel. I can’t wait to move into a sweet cosy flat. I can’t wait for an exciting job. I can’t wait to make pretty things again and sell them in my tiny shop.

I’m so happy to have someone who totally supports what I do. he’s my papercrane.

it’s just past four am over here, and my alarm clock just woke me up in the girliest mood ever. so I thought I’d show you some girl-prettiness.

three beautifully braided hair.

• ever since I first spotted this ad for narciso rodriguez perfume, I’ve been in love with it. carmen looks gorgeous and so does her hairdo.

definitely a timeless inspiration.

•• sweet looking French braid at margaret howell’s latest catwalk.

••• definitely more complex, but I can’t wait to try this on my own hair. damn beautiful.

three girls that are pretty.

• thick glasses and ginger hair is a must.

•• it’s not wonderland anymore alice (inspired by favourite blogger, the new kid). but I tend to find this picture the perfect reminiscence of alice, don’t you?

••• and it’s actually while I was looking at Johanna’s – aka the new kid – blog on rodeodotnet that I stumbled upon milk/signe’s blog. she has the cutest face.

there are many things that get me excited at the moment. things I look forward to. in my personal life, as well as in the world that spin arounds me.

this movie totally is one of them. as for the other things, well, you’ll have to wait until I finally plug my camera into my laptop. probably a couple of days, or weeks, or perhaps more likely, years.

I’m home for the first time in a very long time, and I can’t believe how good it feels. I love home.

instead of the foreseen book-reading in the swimming pool, I slept myself through the entire afternoon. after a dinner of egg and bacon, I’m ready to nest in my bed again.

I really meant to show you what has been inspiring me lately, but somehow this picture taken by elena is too gorgeous for that. underwater, it’s totally how I feel right now. in a good way.

have a nice weekend. love.
