11. looking up - visit to the park


10. home - our soon-to-be place :)


I'm not that satisfied with how some of my pictures turned out. Even though I made the list myself, I still find it pretty darn difficult to come up with different subjects, angles, ... Any tips or suggestions? Feel free to help me out and leave a comment :)
Oh and let me know what your favorite photo this week is!

Have a great week, talk to you soon!

Hi guys!
I hope this post will inflict a lot of oh's and ah's in the comment section, because they deserve it. They are SO cute! My apologies for the picture overload - I'm not really sorry, though.

In case you didn't know yet: my bf rents an apartment and I'm moving in in July! We wanted to make it a little more homy and both love cats so adopted two cutiepies from the animal shelter. They are now approximately 11 weeks old and brother & sister. Simply little balls of fur we fell in love with the minute we saw them.
So without further ado: here are Pixel & Cera!

Pixel is the black & white kitty. And by his moustache you can tell he's a male, right? (for his name, we got a bit inspired by Danique's Pixel)




Cera is this pretty lady. We named her after Cera from The Land Before Time (Platvoet & zijn vriendjes) because she's as stubborn, yet cute as she is :-)













*yawn* "OK, now we gotta get some sleep."


Hope you enjoyed this cuteness overload :-) Talk to you soon!

Hi everyone!
I still owe you the conclusion of what Me Made May meant to me. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of my outfits, but I did make 3 new/old items this month! Curious?

I refashioned a long black skirt with a gorgeous pattern and made it into a box top. I used this tutorial. It's pretty simple, I just made a few alterations. Other measurements, stuff like that.




I also finally used the lace I ordered quite a while ago. Nothing fancy, I just attached a chain to it and ta-dah, new necklace is born!


When this tutorial appeared on Jessi's blog, I immediately felt the urge to try it as well. Et voilà, another fun accessory to add to my collection!


Thank you Me Made May, for making my May a bit more fun and exciting!

Have a nice weekend, enjoy the sun and talk to you soon!

Hi guys! Time for an update on the June photo challenge!

If you have no clue what the duck I'm talking about, read this post.

1. looking down - my three loves


2. faceless self portrait - Pixel & Cera!


3. stranger(s) - speaks for itself (with intentional light flare)


4. 2 o'clock - yesterday I drank champagne at 2 o'clock, to celebrate the success of Marij's thesis :)


5. pattern - Pixel's leg


Next Wednesday I'll be back with my photos of the second week of the photo challenge :)

Have a great day, talk to you soon!

Hi everyone!

How was your week? My lessons for this semester are over! Yay! This week I had to study like a maniac because exams are coming up. This Thursday I'm fighting with my exam in Economics. I really hope I make it. At least I discovered now that Economics is absolutely not my cup of tea. (Memorizing data and definitions, no thanks!)

On to the fun part: snail mail from the past week! :)



from Marlou:
Marlou sent me amazing owl themed mail, as she usually does. She also included fun flags to brighten up the bf's apartment. They do match the walls perfectly!





from Saar:
Mail from Saar is always a pleasure to read. Her new stationary is really pretty. Too bad I forgot to snap a proper picture.




from Aya:
This week the mailman surprised me with this super awesome big package, all the way from Japan. I participated in the Fumi no hi project Aya hosted on her blog, and totally forgot about it but she sent a few of her readers a really fun stationary package. Soooo many amazing goodies were in it. Cute post-its, washi tape, a looot of letter sheets and envelopes and some other cool stuff! Thank you so much, Aya! :)










I also bought some more postcards while I was in Berlin a few weeks ago. Simply can't resist them. Especially if they have owls on them ;-)


Have a great day! See you soon!
