Polaroidlulaanalauraperezlove!



First of all, i made some polaroids that i'd like to show you...




(Unfortunately i couldn't get a better picture of this one. It's much better irl, i swear! ;) )

Second, my package from Ana Laura Perez arrived, all the way from Argentina.
It made me so happy when i opened the big envelop and i saw the gorgeous drawing and the other great and cute things that were in it!





Also, my fabulous AA double breasted cardigan arrived (which i already showed you) and the gorgeous lace collar, which i really fell in love with. Head over heels.



Warning! If you don't want to know what's in the latest issue of Lula, don't look further!
But for you all who do want to know what's in this best issue ever (my humble opinion...) you should definitely look further!
I know the pictures aren't of the best quality, but you sure can taste a little of the greatness.
Enjoy!






The H is for habits...and voor Holga!

I've been tagged by the lovely Hannah-Zoe from Butterflykisses. Thanks, love!
This is 'the Habits Tag'!
(Since i have a polaroidcamera now which i love love love, i am now really into Lomography! I am on the hunt for a Holga camera now. So i decided to visit my beloved Flickr once again and post a Holga picture with every 'habit'...)

1. Clothes shop: Hmm...i wish i could say that it was a hard decision between Marni and Balenciaga, but unfortunately my budget isn't able to pay for that, so i have to be honest and say that i mostly shop at H&M.

2. Furniture shop: Well, this is not an easy one, i have some things from Ikea, but to name it my favourite store...no! I'd like to say thrifted furniture is my favourite, so my answer will be: thriftshop.

(Owner)

3. Sweet: Ice cream, definitely! Needless to say, Ben&Jerry's 'Phish Food' is my absolute favourite.

4. City: I haven't been in many great city's i absolutely want to go to, so i name two i am dying to see in real life: Nairobi and New York.

: Also a difficult one, water is my number 1, but i also really enjoy a good café au latte, a nice cup of tea and a good glass of dry white wine.


4. 3.
2. 1.

6. Music: Too much to name, but Nouvelle Vague is the first coming to my mind now.

(Owner)

7. TV Series: Definitely Prison Break.

(Owner)

8. Film: Ooh, so many, but let's say American beauty.

9. Workout: Hahahaha, only yoga baby!

10. Pastries: Hmm, all sorts of pastries, whenever they're sweet and good looking!

My first gold (credit)card!



What's better than waking up, check your blog and see you have been given a BFF Goldcard?
Well, not much, i can tell you!
The lovely and very stylish Skye from Skylark and Son gave me this wonderful Goldcard, which i can buy lots of polaroidfilm with to make more beautiful pictures..
Thanks Skye, you are so sweet!



I was thinking....what else to do with this card?

I would most definitely go to Martin Margiela (Personally! I want to know more about this man...who is he?).

His A/W 08/09 collection is breathtaking.

(Those boots and that coat!)



Oh, of course i'd buy a subscription to Lula Magazine immediately.
I already wanted this, but when i saw these gorgeous photographs from the new issue, i was even more sure...

Photographer: Yelena Yemchuk.

Hmm...i guess that's about it, i don't want to be too greedy.

Of course, i also want to give this goldcard to some other bloggers whose blogs i love and are a great inspiration to me.
I don't know how many people i am allowed to give this to, but i'd say 5 is a beautiful number.

1. My dearest Mandy B. from Soir de Fete (Yes, she's back!).
Because she can use the goldcard to fly to Paris, stay there for a while, take gorgeous pictures to share with us and shop some gorgeous French labels...)

2. The great Ana Laura Perez, so she can make even more beautiful drawings and make a nice trip around the world for some inspiration and shoppingtrips!

3. The lovely author from Bout de Lu, just because she has an amazing blog and i am very sure she would spend the money wisely...

4. The gorgeous Miss Thumbelina, i just discovered her blog, but i am already a fan and her style is amazing...she would definitely spend the money on great things and give her sister the things she wants for always making the most gorgeous pictures of her!

5. Last, but certainly not least, the amazing LuYi from Some Required. I have no words for the pictures she posts on her blog everyday. This woman has the greatest eye for the most beautiful photographs and she is a never ending source of inspiration!

(Lots of other lovely and dear bloggers deserve this goldcard of course, you know who you are!)

Edit: i had to go waaaaay back to find out the source of this BFF Goldcard, but now i stumbled upon the 'Rules':

1. Only 5(hehe!) people are allowed to receive this award.
2. Four dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.

(hmm, i guess i did a pretty good job then...)

Well, i say: let's do with it whatever you want.
Let's make today a day WITHOUT rules! Wouldn't that be great?

I can't get back further than this post on a Finnish(?) blog.
Funny though to see this thing travels from Finland, to Canada, To the USA, to The Netherlands and now to....
