Ghostwriter

Now, since spring is coming (hopefully), we're facing a serious problem here: chippings on the pavements. Today I couldn't stand it anymore, armed myself with a huge broom and started cleaning the street in front of my house while my sister was taking pictures of me.
Man, you wouldn't believe how exhausting that was (not so much the posing though). Afterwards, we took a long walk over the hill, simply having to enjoy the sun and warmth and all.

Tonight, I might go and watch "The Ghostwriter" since I really want to see what Polanski does these days and didn't get the chance to watch it last week already.
But before that, I wanna eat some pancakes with maple syrup. So have a lovely evening everybody and enjoy your weekend!

Thoughts growing out of her head

It's been a while (again). In the meantime I went to Berlin, including a full cultural and culinary programm. I can't even remember everything right now, or I'd have to really think about it, but for example I went to see two Berlinale films, "Bróder" and "Zona Sur", both South American productions, both in their way absolutely great films. I think I really got hooked on South American filmmaking now and I want more, haha.
I also met up with a fellow fashion blogger, the lovely and talented Susanne from [the leopard dress]. We went shopping together, to Berlinale and later on her, I and our male companions went dancing until the morning hours - and despite a terrible cold I was carrying around with me, I had a great time.
The other days I had a job interview, went to an art opening, swimming, to restaurants and bars. Anyway, now I'm back home, studying for my last exam and watching "The Avengers".

See you soon!!

(Still) Snow White

Today I had enough, I didn't want to feel cold anymore, so I put on three different dresses, a jumper and finally, my old vintage fur coat. Tell you what, it didn't work. But I won't moan about the weather anymore, there's no use, it just keeps on snowing and snowing and snowing.

Heard about quite some interesting Berlinale films already, and also about one that's not gonna be shown on the festival after all: a French production titled "La Rafle", with Jean Reno which premiered in Paris today (I think). It deals with the largest imprisonment of Jews that was ever done in one day - by the French police in this case, in July 1942. From what I've seen so far, definitely worth watching.

I'm gonna be in Berlin myself next week, looking forward to a little break very much!

The good thing about the booties with the silver tape on the platform is that once the silver looks a bit shabby and torn, it is very easy to remove (as you can see on these pictures here), and once you want to add new silver tape, you can just do it again!

P.S.: Happy Valentine's Day everybody, especially to my favourite secret agent!

To everything there is a season - [The Byrds]

The ground is so slippery at the moment that I'd like to basically just call it an endless slope of ice. Terrible, I want spring. Now. Thank you.

I bought this coat in the sales and it almost felt weird taking pictures of it, after nameless other bloggers already posted their outfits in this (obviously trendy) coat. Anyway, who cares, really. If I like it, I'll wear it and take pictures of it, too.

Tonight, my dad and I will start watching the first two episodes of LOST, season 6!! As someone of you already said, I really need closure now as well!
And tomorrow is my mom's birthday, my sister made apple pie - can't wait to try it!

Les fleurs du mal.

A while ago, I got inspired by this whole silver heel/wedge thing, so I thought why not just take one of my favourite pair of heels and create a silver platform and heel myself? I just bought some silver tape, cut it to the right width and stuck it to the heel. It's really lovely and didn't fall off until this day.

A few notes on the side:

1) Excuse the crappy photography, the weekend is near and that means quality pictures taken by my talented photographer Isabelle will be up here again very soon!
2) I spent the afternoon upgrading and uploading this new layout. I wanted something clean but more structured than before, plus I was sick of two sidebars, so here we go - I love it!
3) Can you imagine, a little (okay, maybe a little more) bit of icy streets in the morning and the public transport system in HI completely collapses for a whole day?! Jesus Christ I couldn't believe it!
4) It's my mom's birthday on sunday (the 7th), hopefully that means looaaads of cake!
5) It's Valentine's Day, soon (the 14th), what are you gonna do for your favourite person that day? Roses, cake, a walk in the zoo, to a restaurant, to the movies? Anything at all? Nothing at all?
6) Exam-time is almost here, uaahhhh beware!
7) LOST, season 6 starts this week - I'm excited!

See you all hopefully on friday, perhaps saturday!

PS.: I love lace, especially hanging in front of my window.
