Colourful headphones

I got bright pink headphones as a Xmas present this year - and I like a lot to wear them around, even though it does attract slightly more pedestrians attention...:) And they are perfect to protect your ears from the wind!

Do you like raindeer sweater?

What would Bridget Jones think if she saw Mark Darcy in his silly reindeer sweater this year? I think she would have thought, ok, he knows reindeers are SO IN this year, he just chose the wrong brand of the right garment!



...Because reindeer sweaters this year are everywhere and we all love them. Snowflakes, reindeers, everyone searches for those sweaters on sales now.
And I was wondering today: how do we know that the reindeer sweaters are in? How come we all (or, at least the majority) like them all of a sudden? Of course, one can say, is all about fashion with capital F, big designers, look at D&G F2010, it all started there. The problem is, I dont think the million of girls who search for that sweater in Berschka's and Zara's, I don't think those girls have actually SEEN that D&G collection. And yet, they like the sweaters.
I think it is much more trivial. I think we see same types of clothes in several shops and we subconsciously start to like it. The more we see it, the more we like it. And I swear, if only I own one day few different clothes brands, I will surely make an experiment on this topic! I just need to think of a symbol hidious enough to make it easy to verify. Any ideas?

PS: and the above does not mean I think that reindeers are hidious. I think they are cute!

Are you a grown up?

So this is me, an adult. Moving back to Poland was like growing up in the fast-forward mode :)
There are good things about being a real adult:
- you have a good excuse to buy a lot of new clothes, suitable for an adult, responsible woman
- you get a lot more respect from people when you are dressed in adult clothes (you can even keep up that respect if your nails are bright pink, I checked)
- you have a lovely apartment where no one else is making a mess but you
- plus an extra bonus, your family is happy (I think!)

So I have done the above, or actually I am still in the process of buying more adult clothes. Which is necessary, since growing up did not stop me from spilling things, falling on things, things falling on me... As a result, i need a lot of clothes, no joke.

So, to all adults out there. Controlled growing up is managable :)



PS: But I still cannot wait for the third week of December, when I am in Holland for a couple of days, planning on temporarily rewinding the growing up thingy!

Goodbye and tot ziens, Maastricht!

I have just left Maastricht permanently. It was very busy two weeks of last lunches, last suppers (lol), last volleyball trainings.. and moreover, packing packing packing. It is absolutely unbelievable how much stuff humans accumulate. Or it's not humans, it's just me. Anyways, 140 kg of only my personal belongings are travelling to Poland with the post as we speak, and, fingers crossed, they shall arrive mid of next week.

I don't want to take time here saying how much Maastricht means to me, cause it sounds so overdramatic when I try to express it. Let's just say that I will not forget how amazing time I had there with great great people.

Above the poster that I got from my friends...

I will be back! Xmas party, here I come :)

Zeeland in autumn

When you feel sad & depressed with autumn...

...check out Lauren Moffatt collection. For me it works: I just start to be excited about layering of clothes and woolen big hats!

Beautiful revolution

I encountered the website beautiful revolution by a coincidence but I absolutely love the style of the cards there! I hope you like them too!

For autumn I need

...mostly shoes, it seems :)

Endings

Yesterday I finished my work in Maastricht. For a couple more days I will be hanging around in Maastricht and at the end of the month I will move to Poland.

I must say last days at work are extremely nice. People that usually don't express that much are telling you how much they appreciate your work, your team instead of playing practical joke on you (lol) is cutting the badge leashes and combining them as a ribbon on the package of the goodbye poster... amazing...


I realize how much I am gonna miss my company, only because of the people that are there. So many fun people in one building is very difficult to find!

Thank you, all the CAC people, for all the good times!

PS: remember when I got a birthday present of all kinds of nail polishes from my team? Below my little present to them on my last working day :)

What I wore this week?

Do you know Brinja from Danemark? If not, quick introduction.
Brinja has an adorable daughter. I need to start from that because the girl is just so cute, especially when paired together with the daughter of her sister! You probably also have that, that when you see a picture of a kid, it makes you go like "oooohhhhhhhhhhhh". Yes. So now imagine that the picture contains two equally cute little baby girls! (and the word "equally" in this case can be taken literally).
Moreover, and maybe more relevant to this post, Brinja has a blog. And the blog (don't worry, I am getting there with my story!) contains a very cool serie called "What you wore this week".

Aaaand I was featured this week, check it out yourself! See, that was the point of the story, hahaha!
