Shopping

Chanel classic bag

this set was inspired by the classic Chanel black bag. i am certain - a true coco mademuaselle will love this outfit.

Yves Saint Laurent

is it a mauvais ton to wear all YSL i wonder?
I admit, there's too much of one colour in this set. but they all serve to highlighten the gorgeous women's white tux by Yves Saint Laurent.

fashion mongers

well, this is kinda funny. their outfit is so mismatched and everything, but in spite of that they look cute (i just don't like Mary-Kate's greesy hair, so not cool)

angels and candles

Hello, everyone!

Just wanted to share/

There's this blissful moment when you're at home and the lights suddenly go out. What you gonna do? Light a candle. (My grandma actually uses a flash-light. Bo-o-oring! I go for candles.

Actually I have a whole bunch of candles and lanterns which I store at the top of a small bookshelf at the top of my piano. Looks great, especially with a piece of gift wrapper with angels, i used it as a wallpaper. Too cute!

And when the lights go out, I grab a box of matches and a flash light for my granny and rush to my room. It's so cool having all those candles in one place. I just mount a chair and start lighting them one by one. Love the job =)

Check out these pics.

I love my collections. This corner of my room is second favourite after the books-and-boxes-shelf corner.

Hope you liked the pics =)

Damask patterns

I've got a huge collection of pics on my pc, and there are a bunch of pretty backgrounds, and sure there are damask patterns, cuz I love them!

I googled some more of them for you to enjoy.

 black and white

they can be of various colours

 

 

and even multicolours

but i don't like these that much.. i'm into monochromatic ones.

there are loads of stuff you can make with damask patterns!

wallpaper and bedding. soo cool)

Clicking on each of these pics will take you to their sources. I strongly recommend you to check out all of them, where you can find even more damask pattern designs of everything.

I googled a bit more, and here's what Wikipedia says about damask and Damascus. Apparantely damask the fabric derived it's name from Damascus.
Arabs call the city Dimashq or al-Shām or (which is more important in my case ^_^ ) Madīnatul Yāsmīn (which literally means 'City of Jasmine')

I guess I'm taken with this pattern cuz it has deep connections with me. Funny though.
Anyways this pattern is a great inspiration for me.

shaped bokeh lights

I've always been enchanted with bokeh lights.. Especially with shaped ones. So before I had my SLR camera, I came across a DIY shaped bokeh lights and vaguely remembered that I need a filter with a cut-out (or punched out) shape: heart, bow, butterfly, star etc.)

So without further ado, I cut out a circle in the size of my camera lens and cut out a BIG heart in the middle of it.I know that's not right. But I always google after I did something and didn't get the desired result. 

This is what I got

left bottom corner

right side and at the top

 Look at the indicated areas.

There you can see the edges of my cut-out heart shape. So, easy to guess it was too big.

Then I googled DIY instructions and now I know how to.

I'll try to make a bunch of shapes and have fun one of these days.

I advise you to google some nice pictures of shaped bokeh lights to see what it must look like when done properly.

red lips and colourful nails

Just saw this in a blog I follow.

I highly reccommend you to enlarge the picture (by clicking at it) and check out her nail color) Back in June my 15-year-old girl-cousin used the same nail polish colours on my 24-year-old self. Only in different order)))

That was fun, really) As people paid curious looks to my outfit (usually totally white) and to my nails. Meantime my toes were coloured skyblue. Nice combination))

p.s. I'm going to use my read lipstick tomorrow. I'm sooo jealous of how good it looks on her lips.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

First of all, I must confess that I'm a Harry Potter fan totally, utterly and completely! I love both the books and the movies. I can't even tell you who my favourite character is, because I love them all with the deepest of loves.

So you can imagine that my review of the film will be from the fan's point of view.

And there might be a little spoiler at the end of the post, so be careful while reading xD

I was just in time for the last moments of the last promo video, and then it all started.

I was laughing, crying, giggling, crying again, at odd moments really, sometimes I bit my lips and made big eyes at the screen, those biting moments were more frequent towards the end.

When I saw Snape (5th minute from the beginning or so) I realized how much I'd missed them all. I wanted to jump up from my seat, reach out for each and every one of the characters and squeeze them, hug them, do the happy dance with them, hop around them with a silly grin on my face. But especially I wanted to hug Snape and Ron, and maybe even Harry, though I don't love him that much)

But well, frankly speaking Daniel is more good-looking than Rupert, I'm just not into Dan's character.

Now believe me, Rupert looked hawt in this film. He had done some good job on his body, and he was quite a picturesque view. <3

I don't remember everything from the movie, but I clearly remember that at tough moments everyone stopped chewing and sipping, and some people sighed but otherwise kept silent.

There may have been pieces I didn't like very much, like those times when I expected to see something cuz it was in the book and they didn't show it in the film. But they were not very essential I think. Though I wish we saw more of Kreacher in this film.

Now the spoiler part, not for those who have no idea of what happened in the last book (huh? Really? You've been reading up to this line?)

The saddest moment of both the film and the first half of the book was certainly Dobby's death. I cried an ocean every time I read about it, and today in the cinema it was tearing my heart apart to watch the light fade away from the free elf's big eyes. I bet most of the audience shed a tear or two at this point. Truly sad. I'm a crybaby, I know.

On the whole, I enjoyed the movie immensely. Close enough to the plot of the book and very lively. Didn't lack funny stuff. And I just LOVE them all. Madly.

I'm posting this from my mobile, so forgive me any mistypings. I'll update it tomorrow.

HP7/1!!!!!

If I move really quick I'll get to see Harry Potter 7 part 1 in half an hour.

See yaaaa!

organizing meself

and one more thing xD

i love making lists. it helps to be organized (though my life can be called anything but organized)

I just have this little PocketMod with me all the time and I put stuff in there, I try to do something each day. So that I don't just waste time.

But besides that I sometimes make plain lists of things I need/want/have to do. That's how I can always see if there's something urgent to be done.

There are 4 types of to-do's. (I read about these somewhere on the internet)

1. You'll get into trouble if you don't do it in time.

2. People are waiting for you to do it.

3. You get money for doing it.

4. Things you just need to do.

So you just need to decide on your priorities and start doing something.

And lists help to concentrate.

I think I'll start with posting a list of things I want to do before 2011.

And I found this idea of birthday lists via Elsie from "A Beautiful Mess". (The idea's from HulaSeventy)

The thing is you make a list of things to do before your next birthday. E.g., when I turn 25 in January'11 I'll make a list of 25 before 26. I'll have to do 25 things before I turn 26. And so on. 26 before 27. 27 before 28.

It's gonna be FUN!

Done with lists for now.

new blog

and yet another thing I'd like to mention here.

as I've got a collection of mugs and cups I want to post them all for everyone to see. So I think I'll have another blog here, filled with my love to cups! I just need to come up with a cool title.

any ideas?

the picture isn't mine

Monday Morning

Our first Monday Morning is about today's MM.

It started rather early cuz I didn't bother to go to bed. Instead I was surfing cute pictures of cups and cupcakes, of kids and fashion girls, and installed a couple of useful apps on my Nokia (I <3 Nokia!) Now I've got skype at hand everytime. Nice, huh?

Than after a nice warm shower I had a nice warm breakfast.

tea, cake, eggs/

 Best breakfast as long as we are out of milk and I can't have cereal. Pity.

So I definitely don't like raw eggs, so I cooked them a bit. Like this.

or a bit more cooked than these..

As I usually drink warm tea with no sugar I make a hot cup beforehand, and it cools while I'm eating. And I accompany it with 2 slices of cake.

And a picture of a cute cup and a superhero cup (the pics are not mine) to finish this oh-so-boring post.

new labels

As I'm obviously not getting the Blogger of the Year award (not even of the Month or the Week) so I decided to spice up this blog with something actually boring. I'm going to post something every Monday Morning (Moarning?) no matter what happens.

So today's a Monday and we'll be having our first Monday Morning entry in this supercute blog of supercool me.

And besides I think I'll start adding labels to all the entries from the very beginning. Wish me luck!

p.s. if you think I'm weird you might be correct, cuz no one actually comments here, so I'm probably talking to myself all the time and I even blog for myself.
