Style lovin: Au Revoir Simone

2010-03-15T11:04:00.000-07:00

Au Revoir Simone is band from Boston and it consists of Erika Forster, Annie Hart and Heather D’Angelo. I love their beautiful music with beautiful lyrics. I also adore their style, it's so beautiful and chic and still quite simple. They also have amazing press-photos! Au Revoir Simones homepage can be found here and their Last.fm page here.

We have the choice to breathe

The sun is shining and melting the thick layers of snow. The days are getting longer and longer, you can still see light blue skies at 6pm. Even though it's still pretty cold and freezing, it will be spring soon!

Esme, Luka & Pepita

2010-03-11T22:38:00.000-08:00

I was in fantasy-doll-course couple of days ago. We made dolls' heads, hands and feet out of Cernit and their bodies were made of wire, cotton-wool and cloth. it was really fun and in making dolls there is pssibility to be really creative. I'll surely make some more at home. This is my doll Esmeralda, "Esme".

I've made dolls ones before. As the ending work for Steiner-school (Waldorf-school) 2002 I made two marionette dolls, Luka & Pepita.

New home

2010-03-10T23:34:00.000-08:00

Hi, and sorry I haven't been here for a month.. That's because I moved and didn't then have internet at first. I really love my new home, it's in a old wooden house, which was built 1930. And it's big, two rooms and a kitchen just for me!! And now I have accomplished at least one of my new year goals: Bigger kitchen! Here couple of pics (things are still not all in their places yet).

My little art&craft place in the corner of living room.

My Kitchen.

In the kitchen I have this wood-oven too, maybe I can use it one day..

I have these too, but they work with electricity nowadays.

I love this poster!

Dreamy homes

I would like to live in this Hobbit House so much

In the summer this tree house could be so much fun.

Travelling dreams in this bedroom

Magical dreams here.

Too cute

2010-01-31T15:42:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I find things in the internet that make me just overwhelmed with cuteness. These plushies are simply adorable!

Skunkboy Creatures has more cuties here.

Things about me

2010-01-28T13:37:00.000-08:00

I found this idea from Celestes blog, it's about telling seven random things about yourself and it sounded like a fun thing to do. So, here we go:

source

1. I love Audrey Hepburns look and I have many pictures of her on my walls. The movies she's been in are so full of romance and charm of old times, my favorite being Breakfast at Tiffanys.

source

2. I'm so in love with my Moleskine weekly planner! Its a calendar, but there's lot of place for notes, to do-lists, etc. Its the best calendar ever and I almost always carry it with me!

source

3. At the moment I'm reading the third Twilight book, Eclipse. There are many things I find bit silly in these stories, but there are also three reasons why I like them: I like fantasy, I like love stories and I like cute guys!

source

4. I got this parfym as a present after I've been longing for it a long time. It's a wonderful scent. And I also like the ad with Anne Hathaway.

source
5. Mediterranian food is my favorite: mozzarella, fresh basil and tomatoes, pasta, pizza, feta, olive oil, all the other cheeses, wines..

source

6. I really love red hair and like to color mine red too. I also like other red things, like red roses, red wine, red dresses, red lips (wish I could do it myself too) and I even have red cupboards in my flat :)

7. I love dancing! And this my favorite dance-song at the moment, It's just amazing!!

Quiet moments

Some beautiful art I've found here and there.

The ghosts you draw on my back

2010-01-13T15:39:00.000-08:00

Today I was so drawn by these quite melancholic pictures, they have such a strong feeling in them. And they have a great style.

Dreaming this year

This year I'm taking some good time dreaming and making goals for the next 12 months. I've found some great ideas around internet and I believe that when you give attention to your dreams you call them to happen. I'll write here some of the bigger things I'd like to see happening:

The big goal for me this year is to be more creative all in all. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, drawing, playing piano, painting,etc. Projects like sewing a beautiful dress, making a doll, making that book and knitting long socks. I'm taking part in The Creative Every Day Challenge (more info here) and I'll also try (once again) to go through Julia Cameron's book "Vein of Gold".

source

I'm also, like always, dreaming of travelling. France, Italy, Ireland, London, New York, friends in Austria and Germany, just to start with...there are so many places I'd like to visit.

source

One thing I really need to do is exercise more. I really like yoga, but I'm bit lazy. So yoga sometimes plus dancing in my favorite bar are not really enough.... At least I'll start walking. But not before it gets bit warmer (we had -30 today!!)

source

Other things I'm dreaming of include bigger kitchen, cause I really like cooking and baking and it would make them even more enjoyable, learning more about alternative healing , visiting flea markets more often, buying new cell phone (mine is so cute, but getting quite old...), learning to do more pretty braid-things with my hair, having fun parties, taking care of my friendships and getting to know more great people, being more positive, brave and open minded, blogging actively and one I've had for a long time: flying with hot air balloon!!

Sweet dreams are made of this..

Wrapped up in books

2010-01-05T07:25:00.000-08:00

I've had this dream of making book of some kind, just for myself. It could be just drawing, art journaling or even a self-made fairytale with cute pictures. Here a few books I found for my inspiration.

I heart the Arctic Mini Book found here. I like the way its drawn and the idea of the translucent pages in between.

Beautiful fabric journals by Anne Julie Aubry. In her blog Ma petite theire you can find more of these and other paintings by her. I love these so much. The colors, her style, the fabricks. Just magical.

Such a inspiring book from Ruth Ashton called Monsters of the Household variety. Found here in Anthropologie (via all the mountains). I really suggest visiting the page, there you can by moving the mouse over the pictures see all the cute little details in the pages.

Her hair taught me about waves...

John William Waterhouse has such beautiful paintings!
This one is called ¨A Mermaid¨.I got it from here.

The Beginning..

2010-01-04T12:05:00.000-08:00

Welcome! This is the beginning of my blog and a new journey for me. I've been dreaming about this for some time and now, in the beginning of a new year, it feels like a good time to start. I've been reading some really amazing blogs, which have inspired me so much!

This blog will be about the beautiful, inspiring, cute, crazy, magical, creative things I find here and there. This will also be the place where I can put things I create myself. I've been quite lazy lately so this should be pushing me to do more and learn more on the way. I'm going to make some goals for the year, which I will put here later. This year is going to be so amazing!
