Baby Girl Outfit Ideas

07 February 2011 Maya's 1st birthday is coming up soon so I've been busy with all the preparations for her big party, well big for Dutch standards anyway. So today, I spent my free time browsing through this shop online just so I could treat myself to some baby eye candy. And what a treat it was even if it was just for my eyes!







I can't wait for Maya to walk so I can dress her up better. Like I told Mike the other day, I love having a girl!

I wish they make these shoes for grown-ups as well!

I'm gushing over these super cute baby spring outfits from Boden! *heart*

I've been a fan of Boden for years but never bought any for myself because they're a bit pricey. But, oh, do I LOVE their clothes! They have very pretty selection for babies, too, and bought Maya a couple of dresses, maillot set and peacoat last year.

Of Movies, Kawaii and Good Mail Days

06 August 2008 As much as I aspire to, I'm not really in the mood to write these days. I'm enjoying crocheting more granny squares (I want to finish the blanket!) while we're watching movies in the evenings. My days are nothing out of the ordinary; I just do my usual stuff.

The movies we watched since last weekend:

- Batman Begins
- Knocked Up
- August Rush
- Bourne Ultimatum
- Legends of the Fall



I also discovered these miniature food cuteness in a model kit store downtown. I've seen Re-Ment stuff on some websites I visit and on flickr, and wished I had them, too. I don't really know where to get them online so I thought I'll save it for when we go to Japan or US. When I saw them lying on the bottom glass shelf among the boxed vinyl Tokidoki toys, I just knew I couldn't leave the store without them.

Now, I'm on the hunt for the furniture pieces! The collection begins!



These postcards came in my mailbox recently, except for the Norman Rockwell print on the top left which was the first postcard I got via Postcrossing. They are my favorite among the 16 cards I received so far. The cutest one, though, got here today all the way from China. I guess you know which one I'm talking about. I can't get enough of kawaii things. They make me all mushy and childlike. I love it!



These, too, was a colorful surprise which came all the way from Japan. Thank you, Caryn, for these origami paper goodies! I will definitely use them in the near future.

Happy!

19 July 2008 Yesterday, we went around downtown since the weather wasn't good enough for us to go somewhere else like Amsterdam or Antwerp. I hope the weather improves in the coming weeks. It's still dull with rain and hovering gray clouds accompanied by a chilly breeze in summer!



But I got to buy the Hello Kitty Pear which now completes my HK fruity cuteness family, and some candy. That made me really happy!

Also bought a new dress, a couple of DVDs and some things I'm using for craft projects. I have many things to show you!!

Right now, we're going to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Etsy Find

Shop: The Black Apple
Blog: Inside a Black Apple

I have a lot of favorites but these two are the toppers.



I love everything in this painting. The red. The piano. The bird. The teacup and saucer. The girl. The girl's outfit. The girl's hair. The colors. I love it!




This painting looks like me and my brother, Ian. He's my closest sibling. He's my biggest influence in art, books, music even fashion. I just had to have this one. I still owe him a knitted scarf and I'm thinking of making it black and white like that on the print.

These are my first etsy purchases and I'm so happy! Can't wait to get them in the mail. I love her work and her sense of style. How can some people dress so effortlessly cool? I want that magic, too!

100% Fruity

08 June 2008 There is no telling when this fruity addiction started but one thing I know is I can't get enough of them!



So when I saw this yummy-looking Oilily bag, I knew I just had to have it. I eyed it a couple of times for a few months until yesterday I could no longer resist and allowed myself to be swept away because it was the last one left and it was on sale. Imagine having an ultimatum like that. How could I say no? I don't even care if it was meant for girls half my age but there's no way I could leave the store without it. I feel teeny - most times I even look it - and that's what counts!

I will always be young at heart anyway, no matter the wrinkles and gray hairs that will be appearing in the years to come.

Oh, I love love love my new bag!

When I got home, I checked out the Oilily website to see what other fruity cuteness they have and found this pen case!



I. MUST. HAVE. IT!
