this week, i fell in love with...

salut!

i've drafted quite a few posts
over the last few weeks
that never quite came to fruition
but i finally got around to finishing this one,
a collection of things i've fallen in love with
each week.

1. hopped over to caitie's blog,
absolutely fell in love with the above lavabo,
simply stunning.

2. fell in love
with audrey tatou in the chanel no. 5 commercial
she is beyond lovely,

i wish the train i took
for my commute every morning
resembled that one
& while i'm wishing,
i wouldn't mind a gorgeous
french prince charming either ;)

the video, is below

3. every time i listen to the "come what may" remix
from the moulin rouge soundtrack,
i fall in love,
again & again

happy saturday,

day dreaming

hi again!

couldn't stay away for long!

another story,

get excited :)

whenever i come home from a long day

or even when i'm on the train

headed home

i always take time to press play

and relax while listening to some tunes

occasionally, i listen to a podcast

called Chilled.

it sounds exactly as its name suggests,

perfect tunes to sit back and ...well "chill"

i instantly begin to day dream

it has become an instinct

i love daydreaming in general,

& my daydreams vary according to song

for some tunes,

my mind wanders to my professional aspirations
but every time i listen to chilled,
my mind instantly day dreams about coming home

to a loft with a very specific bedroom

i don't know why

but i always envisioned this bedroom

to have a cold, modernly simplistic design,

but at the same time, to boast much comfort

this morning i made my blog rounds

catching up on so much inspiration

from so many wonderful blogs

& as i came across, Hands that Make,

i read a lovely post

but this was no regular post,

it featured a picture (the above) of a bedroom

but not just any bedroom

a bedroom that practically mirrors

the one i've day dreamed about

being the uncreative person that i am,

i stood no chance of placing what was in my daydreams

on paper

but luckily, remodelista featured it.

so so so wonderful,
i think modernly quaint is how i would describe it

finally,

i highly recommend Hands that Make,
lovely blog

&

chilled podcast,

which you can find on iTunes

lots of love and flirty winks ;)

me: 1, mother nature: 0

hi!

first, love the photo above!

i took it so, a bit of a bias

now,

time for a silly story

more like a "brings me down to earth" story

...

i was getting ready to head downtown yesterday

i knew that to get to my desired location

i would have to walk along a very busy sidewalk

.

to prepare for my catwalk debut

i donned my favourite black skinny jeans

an over sized gray blouse, carefully tucked

to appear calculated and effortless all at once

.

i got off the train & began my walk of fame

my head held up high

my hair settling perfectly

walking like i will always remain in my 20s

.

well,

mother nature had other plans

out of nowhere she sent as much wind as she could summon.

and sent it my way,

probably hoping to blow away my youthful egotism

.

my carefully brushed hair and side swept bangs collided

up in the air, forgetting all of my earlier effort

quelle dommage!

trying to tame the creature that was my hair,

i lift up my hands and viola! my blouse,

once so fashionably tucked into my jeans,

escaped!

my skinny jeans,

which only moments earlier hugged every curve

were now rebelling

those people walking by,

who were supposed to be the cameramen

to my model catwalk

were surely not impressed

i realized that it wasn't my day

so i proceeded down the steps to the subway,

but as the subway ran past me,

the wind following it,

brushed my hair out of my face,

and for that moment, all of that confidence returned

me: 1, mother nature: 0

;)

welcome to the weekend,
