Carnival of the Birds

 

Ouvrez, ouvrez la cage aux oiseaux,

Regardez-les s'envoler c'est beau.

 

-- Perret Pierre "Ouvrez La Cage Aux Oiseaux"

 

 

NOTES

 

    A very belated Joyeux Noël, mes amis! I've almost forgotten how to blog, my life is now a hectic blur of operation theaters and on-calls and I don't even have time to go collect my latest parcel (containing a divine leather jacket and oh yes, cable knits again)  :(

 

    Anyway, I hope you have had a great Christmas ... and don't forget about the coming New Year! I'm already eyeing some items for a New Year treat myself  :D

Glitter Babies

 

 

    My new glittering shoes! It may not seem so in the photo but they are truly blinding in real life  LOL. I'm literally drooling thinking of outfits with them, perfectly festive they are! ♥♥

 

 

Nymph's Songs

 

Lake from the high plains, fallen tears.
There's a nymph that anybody feels.

 

-- Chaska "Nymph of the Lake"

A Day of Browns

 

But I miss you most of all my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.

 

-- Eva Cassidy "Autumn Leaves"

 

 

NOTES

 

    Honestly, I don't think I've worn rivets before. It's all the rage this year, spikes and rivets on everything from bras to baseball caps. I would say I prefer only a sprinkling of the studs, from time to time, on less conspicuous places.

 

    I just had some chicken "Cordon Bleu" for dinner, now I'm bursting and sooo ready to go to bed. Before I tuck in, bonne nuit et fais de beaux rêves, my dears!

Black Friday

    Today I finally retrieved my parcel from the post office and upon unwrapping, I realized I've been rather drawn to black these days. Well, since it is Black Friday now, here're some shots of random black items I acquired of late. Have you done your holiday shopping?

Bon weekend!

 

 

 

Where is Your Tree?

 

As soon as they are flowers, they go and leave for ever.

Sweet blossom where is your tree?

 

-- Emilie Simon "Sweet Blossom"

VIVA

 

 

    This afternoon has been spent in the pleasant company of VIVA, a Dutch magazine the lovely Lisanne has sent me as a gift for being featured in their cape article. I do not know a single word of Dutch to be honest, but I had a great time translating some of the curious-looking recipes online -- you never know what they might turn out to be!  :D

 

 

 

Birdcage

 

I cannot wait for skies of blue,
Or dream so long that life is through.

 

-- Don Besig "Flying Free"

 

 

 

    I adore cable knits unabashedly. I'm sure if I have a large enough wardrobe, I'd fill them with cable knits of all colours and makes. And then complain I do not have enough of them.

Sunday Morning

 

 

    This morning I'm really pleased. My sister brought some lovely persimmons over (though my imp of a niece has not the least bit of appreciation for them and spat them back out) and my favourite football team won with a nice timely comeback, whoop!

 

    Tonight we're going to my sister's place for dinner and then probably watch some DVDs with lots of weird unrealistic martial arts going on. There goes the leisurely (and, because of the rain, utterly unproductive) weekend. See you soon, I hope, with haul in tow !
