birthday wishes

Nine day to go until my birthday... not that a 23rd birthday would be special in some kind, it's just some birthday, one of many! 

Someday you reach an age where your birthday is no longer THE event of the year. It's just one of the many evens of year...

Ain't that sad?!

Well, no, not really :) I like birthdays but somehow I always think it's my mom who should get all the congratulations... not me! And I don't need a cake and candles... just the people I love around me is enough. I wouldn't even need presents... I've got everything!!!

But in case you're one of my loved ones and one of the kind who like to make presents... these are some of the things that won't leave my mind at the moment.

 

1) bowls 2) on the rocks 3) owl corkscrew 4) bowls2

1) purse 2) macbook sticker 3) harry potter monopoly 4) yoga socks

 

1) galaxy shirt 2) golden milk jug 3) note book

  

lots of love and hugs

Precious [or wanna have part VI]

 
Only today I realised that has been quite a while since I last some jewellery... not that I would need any. Oh gosh no! But who ever really needs jellewery? I am addicted to jewellery! I truly and sadly am... I own so many bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, ankle chains, watches... I couldn't count them.

There are days when I don't even like to wear jewellery. Days when I feel freer and untroubled if I don't wear any... there were even days when I taking off all my jewellery was the first thing I did when I got home. There are days when I like to keep it simple. There are days I like to exaggerate. There are days when I just love to mix it all and wear various different bracelets and rings together.

It seems like in a gold rush at the moment, because I like golden jewellery a lot lately (as seen here and here). But I still like silver and other colours and materials as well. The four items above are just a selection of pieces that caught my eye recently.

Ladies, show your legs!

I just listened to the weather forecast for the weekend here in Zurich and it seems as if it will finally be cold enough for snow! I'm really excited; I almost feel like a 5-year-old again. Building a snowman, lying in the snow making snow-angels, getting cold feet and hands and red cheeks... ah how I love winter!

But as winter also equals cold, you need to wear lots and lots of layers to keep you warm. there is nothing bad about that! However, and it might indeed sound more than contradictory, I love to wear leggings and tights especially in winter... Don't even try to find out why! My mind even refuses to give me a satisfactory answer to that question...

That's why I will simply celebrate my queerness (in case you haven't noticed it) by showing you some awesome winter leggings and tights, either worn with a skirt or simply an overly long sweater (covering your but completely - everything else is gross!).

I'm especially in love with these Norwegian-style winter leggings with deer, reindeers or snowflakes on them and lots of colours like red, blue, black, white, brown, beige... I wish I knew where to get them! If YOU do, YOU must let me know :) thanks, anyway! 
(You might have spotted the one on my wishlist... just in case you don't know what to give me for christmas *grin*)

So, Ladies, let's show our legs and defy the wintery cold!

x-mas wishlist

This is my humble christmas wishlist. Somehow, I can't come up with many wishes this year. I have everything I need and want and I'm happy with that. Making up wishes so that other people can make a presents... that's not something I wanna do this year. I really don't need anything...

Should you wanna get me any of these things, you better first check with my boyfriend... (not that I will get all the things twice)... haha, that won't happen anyway!

golden beauty (or wanna have part IV)

'speech is silver - silence is golden'

I don't know what it is about gold watches that fascinates me. I used to think that gold watches are only for pimps and gangsters. Especially the big ones. When did I change my mind about that? I have no clue at all. All of a sudden, a golden wrist watch does not simply look good, but I really feel the strong need to have one!

But I keep thinking: are you sure? will you wear it? will it look good on you? is it really the watches that I like? or is simply the 'stacked' look?

I wish I knew the answer to all of these questions....  I wish I had a gold watch.... I wish I wish I wish...

Mugs'n'Cups aka Teatime (or wanna have part III)

Whenever it starts being cold outside again, I start drinking tea again! My favourite is the classical chai tea with milk and lots of sugar... but I'm not averse to varieties of tea. Whether Black, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Roiboos or even White tea, I like all of them except for Green Tea - Green Tea just keeps reminding me of infusion of grass and that's, er, gross!

Of course you need to have worthy cups and mugs for that! That's why I spent quite some time collecting great "drinking vessels". You can see my collection here. 

I simply love the one in the middle with the fisherman - have you ever seen a cup so cute? And the one with the cookie-drawer is just ingenious! Mrs. Potts and Tassilo just remind me so much oh my childhoo that I had to put them here. Actually, I think I would not have the heart to drink "out" off Tassilo! My favourite, however, is the first couple of cups! The idea is cute and funny... and should you ever be short of an idea what to give me for my birthday: that's it! *wink*

Let's have a cup of chai tea now!!!

P.S. I'd love to give you the sources of these pictures or tell you where you can get them (especially the one on the top left corner), but except for Mrs. Potts and the little Tassilo I have no idea...

cutest rings ever! (or wanna have part I)

This is the first of many posts to follow about things that I either "wanna have" or that "inspire me". These super cute rings definitively fall under "wanna have"! I especially love the one on the bottom right corner... I found the picutre on Etsy in the shop of SmilingSilverSmith, who has many more cute and funny rings in her shop. Amazing idea! All the other pieces are from Pinterest, but I couldn't tell where you could get them (sorry).

I hope you like my new 'inspiration-series'... I do! :)

xoxo and have a great day - I'm somehow in a most blissful mood!
