From my heart: just add coffee

This is me thinking: 

Breakfast is important. Make something sweet. Add fruit. Add coffee

Then read some blogs, heart some pics, and don't forget books. Real ones. Add coffee

Bake a cake. Add coffee

Take your bike out in town. Find a bakery. Sit and chat. Add coffee

Organize and clean your work space. Work. Add coffee

Take a break, have an ice-cream. Add coffee

Dream of a decadent chocolate cake. Add coffee

Think of ways to improve your home. Add coffee

Meet friends in the evening for meaningless talk. Add coffee

Whatever you do, just add coffee

note to self and others: 

fur is so much stylish when worn by its rightful owner.

I'm thinking style runs in the family. Relaxed attitude towards creation, too. I'm researching some stripes images with the talented women in this family - not excluding Charlotte Gainsbourg, of course.

This is me adding a reminder of the summer long gone by.

Celebrating my first follower

Today while checking my stats under blogger I found out that I have a follower. As my blog is fairly new - had no followers so far! - I was very happy about this. She is Valeria and has an inspiration blog of her own. So I decided to browse for inspiration and found these:

 This is me reminding myself of that polka dot scarf and setting my mind on wearing it with the orange shirt this fall. And maybe start wearing my prescription glasses which I can't do without but I'm too stubborn to wear.

Repurposing: Vinyl records

 
"Elis Iaia was born in 1980.
Elis draws on vinyls with bedtime stories and 80's music. She recycles her childhood's records and imagination."
Text taken from her site. Not out of lack of inspiration but because I couldn't have said it better.

All images taken from her site. It's worth taking a look. There are many categories. You'll find something retro, vintage, inspirational.

This is me thinking I'm fortunate to live in the same country as she does,

being able to easily order one.

People: Noukster in The City

She's Anouk, she's Dutch and she's got style. She shares images of her daily outfits, shopping finds, and more.
Having such beautiful facial features only helps her convey the style message and she has a super cute "assistant" [I'm not spoiling it: you'll have to see for yourself].
Visit her blog for inspiration. You can vote for her in the next four days or so in a style contest.
