rose thursday

my thursday hasn’t been rosy at all. it had another colour but this can remain my little secret.

tieu is, at the moment, lying next to me asking this and that about the blog, giving me ideas for future posts. so nice to have her here. we are so different, yet we enjoy each other’s company a lot.

i see this blog growing and getting more visitors everyday and this makes me so happy. thank you.

the other day i watched vicky christina barcelona. was surely not impressed by the film; my favourite woody allen’s is, of course, bananas. however, oviedo caught me eye. it’s been long time without travelling and i now feel the urge to visit new places and meet new people.

once, i thought of doing an overland journey of the balkan peninsula. as i have only been to serbia, i would like so much to visit montenegro, bulgaria and croatia.

anyway, that’s it for today. friend is waiting at the door, ready for her night cuppa.

dovidenja!

hello! i’ m all excited today! and it has to do with these two geishas above. they are embroidered and i discovered them in my mum’s small attic. it has also to do with the straw hat! summer is close and it’s time to redecorate my place. i’ m also doing up my balcony, planting, lighting etc. have i told you i have a bit of a view to lycabettus?

i also watched this film. for second time. it’s nice when people can appreciate you the way you are. don’t you think?

beautiful hats from seeberger. pretty home accessories from moebel kolonie.

last chance


last night i watched this beautiful film. it’ s about the true love of an iranian boy for an afgan girl. photography is just amazing. today, i also watched another love film (this period is all about love films; i hope it’s nothing too serious). it’s called last change harvey; dustin hoffman and emma thompson starring.

some notes here; first, i think i prefer emma thompson brunette. i did some research on her hair colour and i laughed when i read this. second, girl is taller than boy. i love the match though! third, bride and groom don’t know how to dance. at least, actors should have taken some dance classes before filming.

however, this film managed to make me cry. it’s not super romantic or corny but it somehow touched me! how many chances do we have to get happy in life?

having said that, i think this habitat chair would make me really happy at the moment. also, this beautiful scarf. don’t you think?

focusing



sometimes i think everything is a matter of focus.

last night i decided that i had enough of heavy, sophisticated films and i watched the wedding planner. i admit it; i had a good time watching it and both jennifer lopez and matthew mcconaughey were too cute.

speaking of focus, i like the part when he says to her “i might not know anything about you but i do know every line on your face…”. do we really need more?

dries van noten’s summer 2010 collection has become of my favourites. i especially adore this outfit.

britta from stockholm creates beautiful things to decorate our homes and ourselves. have a look here.

i’ m off to watch baran by majid fajidi.

nite!
