I love everything about these pictures: my purple hair, my sky blue dress contrasting against the warm brown in my coat and accessories, the light, the church and my awesomesauce nails. I saw this picture on tumblr and fell in luuurv with the retro classiness of this cute manicure. Totally something you'd see on Dita Von Teese, but still very wearable if you're not too keen on the super dressed up look. I just freewheeled it: starting with a base coat and adding the two arches carefully, after which I filled in the heart and filed my nails to a more pointed shape. A must try!
I might look like I'm strolling by the Notre-Dame all casually and retro-y, but this is just our local church. I love churches. If the beautiful architecture isn't enough, churches are always ridden with stupid birds. A dove was watching me and my guy while we were taking pictures, and it had the STUPIDEST look on its stupid face. Like for real, I couldn't get over how stupid it looked. I even did an impression of the stupid dove.
Let's go in for a close up.
Seriously, THAT stupid. But my face looks normal sometimes too, don't worry.
dress, coat, cardigan: Think Twice vintage - tights, belt: Pimkie - bag: Zara - shoes: swapped with friend - beret: old
BTW I did a guestpost over at Crimson Rosella about chasing dreams. If you like my writing, go check it out!

Hilarisch. Ik stem voor dove facing als het nieuwe planking!
ReplyDeleteI love the cream/white accessories-- now I need to hunt down some lacy tights and a cream beret! Lovely setting too despite the dove incident. Is your coat leather? I like the unusual texture and the combination of the earthy brown with the sky blue.
ReplyDeletewow, this outfit is amazing, I adore your dress and coat!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's suede! thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteYour nails are awesome! :) I'm going to give them a try if a take a studybreak :D

Hahaha duiven trekken echt niet zo een gezicht :D maar ze zijn wel stom!
ReplyDeleteYou're adorable. I <3 you. Pigeons and doves make me laugh, pigeons especially, they're so pompous. Plus watching a fat bird waddle about is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteDEZE WEL!!! geloof me :D
ReplyDeleteThe silly photos today are great! I love when bloggers aren't so serious all the time :) AND I am so inspired by your nail art, its so precious.
ReplyDeleteOh you crack me up!!! Love that face. I'm pretty impressed by your nail art too. My coordination skills wouldn't allow me to do such a neat job, so I may take this idea and give it to my sister to do for me :)
ReplyDeleteThe mix of cream, blue, and brown in this outfit is so classic and pretty. Also, I'm in love with your heart manicure! Maybe I'll have to try that for Valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteI really really loved the close up. Looks like a face I would make.
