Beige and Birds

dress: Think Twice vintage - ballet flats: Sacha - purse: Primark - belt: ASOS - sunglasses: H&M


Hi dolls! Have you all gotten used to my new lay out yet? I can't stop checking it out, like a new boyfriend's ass. Not that I'd remember what that felt like as I haven't had a new boyfriend in 8 years. No worries if you're reading this, sweetie! Serves you right for saying I look like a cleaning lady with that scarf around my head in my banner picture! HMPF

 

I've finally gotten round to watching the Mad Men season 5 premiere! I've got some mixed feelings: it's great to see everyone again, there were some amazing oneliners and Megan is SO inspirational (both in personality and style), but there was something about the dialogue and the flow that felt... off? Maybe it's just the fact that the series needs to find its footing again, but it felt a bit too light and airy and swingy. And every line seemed to be about telling us about the same old main problems of all of the characters.. Again, it's probably just an introduction. But I'm crossing my fingers for Matthew Weiner to go deep again (that's what she said, haha!).

Did you watch the new episode yet? And how perfect is EVERY look Megan was wearing?



YES. I need to replicate that hair and make up.

  7. I love the dress! It reminds me of a dress Julia Roberts wears in Pretty Woman, brown with white polka dots <3

  8. Can't choose what's most adorable: the dress, the purse, the shoes, the belt, the sunglasses?? Even the wooden door with knocker is chique :).
    Beige or nude nailpolish would probably have been too much, idk...but I'm so happy these colours are currently trendy because I love them and am able to find them everywhere now. Not that I'm into trends; it's just easier to buy certain items at affordable prices when they are 'in fashion'. (Actually, your make-up looks fine; I just saw an opportunity to mention my fondness of matte nude nailpolish :D.)

    I'm following PanAm and haven't yet seen the new episodes of Mad Men. PanAm shows the characters more in their uniforms, the fashion display is not quite the same as in Mad Men, but I was longing for some new storylines. Both series feature hairdos I love so much though. Unfortunately I can't seem to get my hair done in those styles without a lot of back combing and hairspray which takes its toll on my hair and on the environment :(.

    [Your blog is tweaked to perfection, Annebeth...kudos!]

  11. Pff, mannen snappen het gewoon niet hé, typisch dat ze zoiets zeggen, haha :). Ik vind je outfit zo leuk weer, bolletjes, zwaluwen en bloemetjes, dat je dat kunt combineren is echt knap! :)

  13. I totally dig Megan's styling but that last scene between her and Don was really uncomfortable? I am excited to see how their relationship develops for sure though.
    I love this dress, so perfect with the pink nails/lips and your adorable bag! Boys say the silliest things though, you do not look like a maid in your header pffft

  16. Ik ben nog maar aan season 3, maar heb gisteren op je fb pagina gezien dat Don en Betty uiteen gaan. Boohoo.
    Hahaha, mijn vriend zou echt net dezelfde commentaar geven. Mannen, doen niks liever dan ons uitlachen he! xo

  17. ooh leuke jurk, echt zo vintage. En heel mooi met die roze lipstick en nagels.
    Dat haar van Megan is prachtig, maar ik heb altijd spijt als ik mijn lange lokken weer eens kortwiek. ;)
    xo,

  18. Wat een prachtige jurk heb je aan!

  19. have you tried backcombing with a bristle brush? Gives a softer effect and is les harsh on your hair! also, with a tiny bit of backcombing + an updo, you don't need hairspray (or not as much). Updos are your way to go! just let your hair get a bit dirty and use dry shampoo, that does the trick :D Pan am is nice in the style department, especially when they are out of their uniforms, but storywise it's a lot more soapy and cliché. Not that that matters, everyone should enjoy what they like in a series, I just prefer the heavier stuff in Mad Men personally :) and I just bought a muted coral nailpolish after loving it on the pan am ladies, you can get your own at catrice! somewhere between neon, pastel and nude, very lovely. And I love nude polish too btw, but more on long nails, very sixties. Catrice has a whole collection of nudes to pick from right now, so you're sure to find a match!

    But I like my pinks with the nudes :) it's already a very ladylike outfit, it needed a kick! :D

  20. haha dankjewel :D kweenie, ik gooi het allemaal gewoon samen omdat het neutrale kleuren zijn, ik zie prints altijd als combineerbaar :D

  21. I think they have this sort of S&M dynamic going on in their relationship, it's weird but interesting? :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. oei, sorry!! :D het is ook zo moeilijk om niet te spoilen als je enthousiast bent! maar ik vond die breakup super erg dus het zal zijn impact nog wel hebben :D

  23. I'm usually not a fan of beige, but I really, really like this outfit.

  24. Updos are not so much the problem, rubber bands and tons of pins keep my hair in place. It's the "loose helmet" style my hair is protesting to. Teasing hair on occasion does no harm(not on me, that is - I have it done by some hairdresser in training: they are cheap because they need people to practice on), but to have it done every day like in the sixties??
    Your make-up is absolutely fine here; nude/beige would have been too bland but I love how you managed how to bring some shade of the outfit colour to your nails with the gold sparkles.

    PanAm has only just started, it was my surrogate for Mad Men when it aired. It's probably the soap style that got me hooked anyway :D. Ah, it's entertainment, it doesn't always have to be deep. And Mad Men will still be available for a while.

  25. me neither, it's all about finding the right piece/color/print/shape. Beige can get so sad :D

  26. I watch Pan Am too, I find it amusing. I'm just saying that I don't see it as a replacement for Mad Men because the two are very far apart in quality in my opinion: Mad Men will become a point of reference, Pan Am will not. But there is nothing wrong with easy entertainment, I just find there are a lot of shows that fill that need (Bones, House etc) while Mad Men offers more, so that's why I prefer it.
