Colorful Teapots

6 Mar

teapot-collection

If I ever own a collection of something, it will definitely be teapots. As I’ve told you in a previous post about mismatched dinnerware, I looove eclectic and colorful arrangements!

I actually own 3 (reasonable, right!), but they don’t mix together very well. Meh.

I’ve done a little bit of online shopping, you know, just to torture myself…

I love both of these two styles, but I doubt that my husband would like the first one, hehe.

Crazy Cat Lady: All Dressed-Up in Cat Prints

7 Feb

It’s no secret that I am a crazy cat lady.

I do talk with Henri and Lola daily in a really high-pitched voice.

I have to stop to try and pet every cat when I’m walking outside. (Ok, and I do talk to cats in the alley…)

I just can’t help screaming CHAAAAAAT! whenever I see a cat somewhere.

Some might say it’s annoying. I say it’s charming!

With prints trending in fashion lately, one could be tempted to add cat prints to all of her outfits.

Cat design leggings – I could so rock these!

Cat dress. Perfect for a date… (Crazy cat ladies do get dates, right?)

Subtle Cat Print Shirt

So, exactly how much cat print in a wardrobe is too much cat print? Or is there only the one item per outfit rule that applies?

And what IF I had cat tattoos? Would that be over the top? Meh. Temporary cat tattoos then?

Temporary cat tattoos – This is totally rad!!

 I think I might just have to get these. They crack me up so much!

Hope you’re all having a pleasant day! Thank you for visiting!

She Wore Blue (red) Velvet…

4 Feb

I have a confession to make. I am totally obsessed with velvet. Yes, velvet is back. It has left the nightmares of my 90s childhood (where my mom would dress my sister and I in matching green et red christmas velvet dresses) and is now back to haunt me again. Only this time, I am DREAMING of velvet.

I like it on couches, I like it on shoes and most of all, I like it on clothes. Because velvet is very much like leopard print (NEVER wear more than one velvet/leopard print piece at once), this means I have to make a choice. For me the choice is clear; Velvet dress FTW!

I think it all started with this Old Hollywood style black velvet dress, this little casual plum velvet dress and an awesome vintage black velvet skirt we  put up for sale in the boutique. Brought back the memories… ahh! Sweet 90s!

This is the kind of peter pan dress my mother made me wear as a kid. Might be cool now, but I won’t ever wear again – due to trauma. (Just kidding mom!)

This year I’m gonna spend Valentine’s day in a little chalet, with family, probably playing board games near the fireplace (ahhhh God, I can’t wait!), but otherwise, I would definitely be planning on wearing red velvet out in a nice restaurant. Velvet is such a luscious fabric!

Look at this beautiful one from NastyGal, to be paired with a black bowler hat to complete the look with a little bit of edge.

Well, I guess I don’t necessarily have to resign myself… I just need to find the perfect little casual velvet dress and pair it with boots and a denim vest. What do you think?
