Monday morning

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a good weekend! It was rainy, cold, sunny and warm this weekend, so my activities were in- and outside. During the rain, I watched An Education. What a remarkable, beautiful movie! Am in love it! I had some time to take pictures, experimenting with the bright light...even my camera was not used to so much brightness from outside :) O yeah, I bought my first cupcake book, so I will be experimenting with flavors. Now I´m back at the office, indulging in some tea and biscuits. Have a nice day!

Paper over porcelain


Snap snap

Me and my camera have been an item for a couple of weeks now. But I still find it hard to just walk the street and snapshot people (cause that is what I would love to do, be a mini theSartorialist or Garance uhuh :) ). I need to be more confident that I will not got yelled at or when I do, I just take it. Maybe I should make my camera more approachable....?

Princess Mabel@ The Gentlewoman






Pictures taken by me 

Just wanted to share the beautiful pictures that came with the even more fascinating interview with princess Mabel, living in London, working for The Elders and being royalty and a mum. She was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin wearing Viktor & Rolf.

Welcome spring

Happy Monday! Spring is officially here! I left my winter coat at home and exchanged it for a leather one. Yes! It is like I can finally open my eyes (with fabulous DVF shades on to actually see something through all the brightness) and look at the sun, sky and people that all seem so much brighter and happier! Have a sunny week!

New issue

The new issue of the Gentlewoman is in! It has a spread on princess Mabel and I haven´t finished reading it yet, but so far it so interesting to know how remarkable she actually is. I still believe the Dutch (in general) were quite harsh on her, but reading how much she accomplished in life so far...that can only be a done by a strong, humble person. I might share some quotes in my next posts :)

I am Woman

Happy International Women´s Day! 

Message from my work (IBM):

" Today, March 8, we celebrate International Women's Day.  It is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. "

Some beautiful quotes to celebrate:

Women are always beautiful. 
Ville Valo

Women are in league with each other, a secret conspiracy of hearts and pheromones.  
Camille Paglia

Women get the last word in every argument.  Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
Author Unknown

Be to her virtues very kind,
Be to her faults a little blind.
Matthew Prior

If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. 
Aristotle Onassis

Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak. 
William Shakespeare
 

Women speak two languages - one of which is verbal.  
William Shakespeare

Women always worry about the things that men forget; men always worry about the things women remember. 
Author Unknown

The plainest man who pays attention to women, will sometimes succeed as well as the handsomest man who does not.
Katherine Hepburn

A woman has the age she deserves.  
Coco Chanel

   

Business of breakfast

Monday, back to work! I wish I could start the day of with a Sunday breakfast (I made cinnamon croissants yesterday!). Today it is granola and tea...which is also nice, but not the same. Have a good (work) week!

On Dior´s Galliano

" ...the pace of fashion today, and particularly the rigorous structure of a corporate fashion house, broke the fragile, artistic creator."
