Thinking ahead...

For a late summer wedding. Thanks to H&M Conscious Collection I now have much larger array of white/cream coloured dresses to choose from! (You can check the collection more through here or here. The collection will be on sale from 14 April onwards in all stores)

The first dress is made with recycled polyester while the second dress is of organic cotton. Would you say oui or non? To which? (Nevertheless, what do they mean by 'conscious' here? Do they mean 'conscientious'? Hmm.)

Cinematic Writing

'Pain, that was not yet the pain of love, fretted his heart. Silently, in a dream she had come to him after her death, her wasted body within its loose brown graveclothes giving off an odour of wax and rosewood, her breath, that had bent upon him, mute, reproachful, a faint odour of wetted ashes.'

De Vivre La Langue

Advertising campaign for a language school. I love good typography (:

My energy is slowly dwindling in the face of work and mental exhaustion. I am struggling with coming up with a clear, concise thesis statement for the ten-thousand-word essay, but then my tutor says,

'If it is not hard, it is not really worth doing isn't?'

He is damn right! I might as well just hang in there. Meanwhile, without the consolation of a beautiful blind-fold, Givenchy black dress or the company of a stray cat à la Hepburn I seek comfort in bottomless cups of Darjeeling tea, the ephemeral February sunshine and wishing for signs of an early spring.

After a whole year of frantic hunt I am now finally wearing the dream black scallop shorts (with concealed buttons and pockets, high waisted) - and believe it or not, they are from this season's asos!

My Favourite Feline

This must sound rather silly - but I was filled with sheer joy when Kitty made it to the tumblr of dreamcats! (:

Kitty is a bit more than two years old and moved from France to Ireland two winters ago. She is a truly amazing cat - she spends her idle days climbing trees, catching mice, cuddling with you and going meow meow meow all day long.

An Ideal Dwelling

My idea of the dream house - it will be flooded with light and small plants and jazz music and bird songs and aroma of fresh cut flowers. There will be books, old and new, all scattered around the place. My parents will come for tea on weekends and we will walk around the market; then we will prepare a full-blown dinner for family friends. I will cook, and my boyfriend will pick the wine.

But location of the house? Yet to be known.
