That's how I feel!




After a weekend of lust and laziness that is how I feel! Round and well-fed! 
But don't I look beautiful and happy? A woman at her best I would say!

I hope you feel well in your skin today - no matter what the beauty dictators tell you!

Wishing you a content Monday!

Need a rest



It's a miserable day outside and I need a rest. 
That's the perfect bed for it, don't you think? 
I'll be reading in my book, sleep, reading in my book, sleep, reading... 
Isn't that what Sundays are for?


I feel it - it is going to be a perfect and happy day!

Let's dance!



My sons showed me this video on You Tube.
Watch it - your spirits will lift! (Full screen, volume high).
By the way my younger son wants to take dancing lessons...
and he has already found a girl who wants to be his dancing partner... I am happy...

Today we are going to an exhibition in Basle. Afterwards we are invited to a friends house.
She is an artist and if she allows I will take some pictures of her art
and show it to yo in one of my next posts.

But before: Enjoy your Saturday and if you have the chance - DANCE!

Tolix chairs




Are you also a fan of Tolix chairs? I am - definitely! 
They are sold in many colors and they always look fantastic. 
Actually I favor the vintage version as on image number two.

Enjoy these pictures - the colors remind of summer which is necessary. Here it is freezing cold!

Keep warm and have a brilliant start into this weekend! 
If you can't warm up then stop by tomorrow you'll start sweating - I promise!

Temptations





Two weeks ago I went to one of my favourite shops and made some photos with my mobile. 
Even if I did not intend to buy anything - 
I always leave the store with a little something in my bag... 
but who said 
"I can resist anything but temptation" 
Thank you Oscar - I am like you!

Well then dive into your temptations today - you can always say you tried to resist!

Thank you, darling!





I've been organizing our photos and on this occasion I found these pictures. It shows a meal my darling cooked for us. He made the pastry house (baked with wrapping tissue) as well as the filling himself. 
I still remember what it tasted like: Simply delicious and to die for! 


Hope he reads this post soon and sets the pans on fire! Jepeee!

Second half of champagne bottle with DIOR...


I promised you to show more fashion this week and here it is. An occasion to use up your bottle of champagne...

We are invited at my brother's house tonight and are looking forward to hugging and kissing them and hearing what is on their minds.

Hope you're going to meet some friends and/or relatives as well this weekend!

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh!


















This apartment brings spring feelings towards me! Everything light and squeegee clean. I am not a fan of stabilo yellow and green but in this context they look incredibly fresh to me!

Thanks for joining me today! Start happily into the weekend!

Would like to see it bloom...






Wow! What a brilliant idea to hang up the pots this way! 
What a joy it must be to see the plants grow and bloom and become a curtain full of life!
 It reminds  me of Italy where pots are often hung along walls. This is the more sophisticated way though!

Wishing you a blooming Thursday!

Inspiration for spring 2011



 












If you have time browse through all the links and take a look at all the pictures.
There are so many pieces of art, the colors are vibrant and there is minimalism, which I really like! Incredibly inspiring! 
Best watched with a glass of champagne if you ask me...

I'll show you more fashion another day!

Gin-gin!
