Eveything is fine in my Happy World !!

Zara leather jacket

Hello !

It's a new morning,

it's a new Monday, a new week.

And I'm already tired ...

I'm longing for this week-end to have a good rest !

Or is it that week-ends are more tiring ?

More people to visit, more work to do in the house,

more activities to catch up with the children ...

Exhausting !

Or if I can't wait until this week-end, I'll have a nap this afternoon ...

I'm wearing :

Zara leather jacket

Pimkie Geek tee-shirt

Mango leather skirt

Isabel Marant Cleane boots

Zara leopard bag

Here is again one of my favourite spots.

Unfortunately the Highland Cows were not grazing around ...

Today I chose a warm and chunky knit teamed with a comfy skirt.

It was a bit chilly this morning

but the sight is really worth the effort.

Hope you're planning funny outings for this week-end !

I'm wearing :

Isabel Marant Diego coat

Camaieu sweater

Isabel Marant bandana skirt

Isabel Marant Dicker boots

New Scarf

Here is part of my sales booty !

A scarf is always a good addition to a wardrobe.

And this one is particularly warm too.

Budget find !

I'm wearing :

Zara leather jacket

Pimkie lace top (in sales)

Camaieu skirt and scarf

ACNE Pistol boots

Home made fur and chain purse

Peacoat, Leather and Betty

  

It's getting seriously cold these days.

I've got the solution :

 perfect biker leather pants,

a snug and Mum-knitted arran jumper,

and a comfy pair of sneakers to walk about !

That's me ready for this Winter !

I'm wearing :

Camaieu peacoat

Arran jumper knitted by Mum

ASOS leather pants

Isabel Marant Betty sneakers

Home-made fur and chain purse

Because It's Sunday ...

 

I recently discovered a French girl's blog, Anaïk, who attracted my attention

when she presented the shawl she knitted.

There was not a minute to wait.

I hurried to my favourite DIY shop to buy the softest wool

and started this easy shawl knit.

Here is how you start :

Cast on three stitches on your needle and knit them in garter stitch.

Make an increase before knitting the last stitch.

You have now four stitches on your needle.

Knit the second raw and add a stitch before the last one.

That makes five stitches.

Go on like that until the end of your 200 gr wool yarn ...

You'll have a lovely shawl within six or eight weeks,

depending on how knit-aholic you become !!

As for me I've almost finished the beige shawl
 which I started mid November...

and I have already started a pink, a black, a white and a purple one !

Addiction !!


 The beige shawl is almost finished ...

... and a pink shawl is already on the needles ...

... followed by a black one ...

  

  

And I can't help visiting the wool aisle of my favourite DIY shop...

so this time I went for a purple and a white wool ! 

LUNDI 06 JANVIER 2014

 

 

 

 

Here is how I looked on Monday,

sporting my basics and adding on a new zebra jumper.

I visited a friend that morning and we had a couple of coffees

 to catch up with the latest news !

Great time !!

 

 

 

I was wearing:

Isabel Marant Diego coat

Pimkie zebra jumper

Isabel Marant Ikat skirt

Isabel Marant Lazio boots

 

 

Bonne Année 2014 !!!

 

 

 

This end of year and festive season was not like any other one.

Lots of work and improvement being done in the house,

and lots of "computer deprivation".

 

But as my Grand'Mother was saying,

"As long as the month of January is not over,

 it's still time to wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! "
