MY HEART GOES WILD

(How surreal is this picture? I'm so impressed with the boyfriend's photography skills.)

It's here, at last ! A new outfit post with a fresh Rindu piece !

I like the colour of this necklace and I love how it combines soft and hard elements. It's also nice to be able to choose its length yourself !

From the very moment I laid eyes on the dress, I knew I had to buy it ! 

I do have to admit that I've very rarely worn it ever since... I think it's a bit short and I feel more comfortable with clothes that cover my upper leg area ;). Shame on me. I know, I know...

Necklace, Rindu

Dress, Zara (old)

Ribbon, Veritas

Shoes, Kling 

 

 Russian Red - I hate you but I love you

LIFE AND ITS LITTLE PLEASURES

Goodmorning darlings!

Here are some little things that make me smile,

even when I have to study from dusk till dawn...

The prettiest peony in the hallway.

A perfect lunch.

"Triplets bread" stuffed with sunflower seeds, linseeds and sesame seeds

&

a delicious salad of red beets, feta cheese and chive.

My Mr Man has trimmed the bushes. 

He signed them all with my first letter. 

(Or how his bush made me blush.)

Love

Melanie

 

TYPEWRITER ART

Ik ben een brouwsel van geest. 

Uit mijn oksels kruipen de letters. 

Ik voel ze waar niemand ze leest,

kom pluk ze hier 

in de dyslexie van mijn liezen. 

Uit mijn schriftje-waar-ik-mooie-zinnen-in-schrijf. 

Het zijn echter niet mijn woorden & er staat geen bron bij, 

dus als jij de auteur bent of dit herkent, laat het me zeker weten :)

I have always been a sucker for machines with keys that you press to produce letters and numbers on paper.  Etsy offers some real beauties ! Unfortunately they're all a bit above my budget... 

But (for now) I'm happy just looking at them:

2. Royal Typewriter, click to buy.

3. Bright Red Typewriter, click to buy.

4. Typewriter with coloured keys, click to buy.

Today, I also discovered this 'Typewriter Jewelry Section' on Etsy. Everything is so small and lovely and nice and sweet and pretty and hmmmm. I WANT !

1. Typewriter Necklace, click to buy.

2. Typewriter Key Pendant Necklace, click to buy.

3. Typewriter Key Earrings, click to buy.

I believe the typewriters are masterpieces in their own right. 

So is the jewelry. 

But if you want something you can really frame, this is what you need !

I am so grateful that Rabbitshapedclouds introduced me to Keira Rathbone and her typewriter art !

If I wasn't a poor little student I would immediately buy this Limited Edition Print of 'Ms. Brooks':

I'll leave you sweetiepies with a little video of Keira at work:

BELLE VERE

Nowadays it's all about the really skinny girls.

And don't get me wrong, they do get away with everything. 

(Honestly, I sometimes even envy them.)

But take a look at this. 

How sexy, soft and feminine do these women look? 

I can't stop staring. 

Curious for more? 

Indulge in the pleasures of the flesh on vogue.it. 

Come and join me

I'm having a little party in my head

to celebrate how women come in all shapes and sizes

PS: It's a pyjama party with loads of vanilla ice cream !

FATHER'S DAY

This one's for you, Daddy !

* 

Actually my dad doesn't really like to make a big fuss about things. 

But I do. 

(If this were a movie, this would be were my evil little laugh comes in.)

*

He likes to show off his legs by wearing tiny shorts. 

I inherited his knees. They're strong, yet not really feminine...

But I'm with Serge Gainsbourg on this one:

"Quand on n'a pas ce que l'on aime - Faut aimer ce que l'on a."

Daddy acting silly. 

He has this habit of shoving huge amounts of food in his mouth...

...and then nibbling on it really fast. 

It's really entertaining during dinner !

Making coffee in the morning. 

Taking care of our mummy. They're like the best team ever.

He doesn't really like pictures though.

(Mum, I'm in love with your white bikini.)

Acting tough. 

 

Simply being the best dad in the whole wide world !

Love,

Melanie xx

PS: I know I usually post pictures of my outfit with a Rindu necklace on Sunday, but my dad refuses to wear jewellery and he's not really into photo shoots, 

So I decided to celebrate his fatherhood today and postpone the outfit post to later this week! Yay!

Update! Ik toonde m'n papa mijn post die volledig aan hem is gewijd en zijn reactie was:

"Zie ik er vandaag de dag te lelijk uit misschien?"

Ik vind dat helemaal niet, maar oordeel vooral zelf !

Hahaha :)
