Wonderful Whiskers



There has been a lack of posting due to spending my last couple of days in Sweden saying goodbye to my boyfriend and getting ready for my move. There has also been an addition to my large cat family, the red one was given to me by my love and the kitten shall reside with him although I am the kittens true cat lady. On another note, I am now back home getting ready for a house move which means having to go through the mess in my room. The things not being packed away to follow with to the new house will need to go with me to my move to Paris. Which is happening in 5 days. Absolutely absurd. And I am absolutely terrified as well as super excited. But what exactly needs and can be packed in one suitcase when going away for 10 months? I have no clue, that is why this certain pack needs to be cleverly organized. And how on earth am I going to be able to fit all the cats.. as much as it pains me to write, I am going to have to leave them behind. Same goes for quite a lot of my shoes. Sigh. 

Hugs all around!

Curls

  



I decided that it was time for some hair change and decided to go for the 'messy' curls. I unfortunately have straight as a ruler hair so when I actually have the energy for curling my hair, I jump at the chance. Also since I color my hair so much (due to the blondness peeking out every couple of weeks) my hair gets incredibly dry. So I found this wonder elixir that just after a couple of drops in my hair has already started working. Curls look so much nicer when they aren't dry and damaged. So thanks to Davines Absolute Beautifying Potion (found here) my hair is on its way to being happy and healthy! 

Hugs all around,

Autumn Wish list

autumn wish list


























So I went for a looksies around town today and found that the autumn style is going to be q
quite lovely this year. Here are some of the things I hope to see enter my closet in the next few months, if my wallet allows it of course. I really want a black wooly sweater for those windy days, I feel that would be a useful buy. Well to be fair, I think all my buys are useful, which is definitely not a good thing! 

Hugs all around,

Individual of Interest

Jemima Kirke. A unique woman that you don't see much of these days especially on television. She is a member of the GIRLS cast. And if you have not seen it, watch it. It is an absolutely incredibly show that will have you hooked. But for my individual of interest I chose Jemima because of her style, her beauty and her quirky essence. So here are some snazzy snaps! And may I just add that she pulls off bold lipsticks wonderfully well.



Hugs all around!

Paris? Mais Oui!


Oh Paris. My dream home. My dream, period. I've grown up thinking Paris is a place that could only be found in fairytales and it is actually true. I've been to Paris more times than I can count and every time, it always ceases to amaze me. I am in love with this city. It is breathtakingly beautiful, the architecture, the history, the food and lets not forget the people. I'm hoping to make this my home in the next month or so, if all goes according to plan and I do hope that it lives up to my grand expectations. I am certain it will. These illustrations (most adorable illustrations my eyes have ever seen perhaps) are from a perfect, handy little book called My Little Paris by a group of wonderful quirky individuals. There is also a site, which I spend most of my free time on, that give the best tips on what one can do in Paris. When and well if I move there, My Little Paris will be my personal Bible. And honestly, I cannot wait to step outside, open the book and see what adventure I may set out on in the beautiful capital of France.

If you have ever had the faintest interest in Paris, check out the website as soon as humanly possible. It gives you tips on fashion, beauty, culture, food, you name it and they've got a suggestions for it. And the great thing about the entire concept of My Little Paris is that it allows you to see Paris through a non-tourist perspective. Meaning you'll get the real Paris experience. The site is My Little Paris and don't worry, it translates into English as well. Hopefully this post succeeded in making you as excited/addicted to Paris as I've always been.
