Etsy treasures in orange and blue

It's no secret that I spend quite a lot of time on Etsy, browsing for beautiful things I shouldn't buy, because I have to spend my money on things I actually need. And I don't like the fact, but it would be a lie if I said need new earrings. But you are allowed to dream, right?

I made this treasury list a while ago, some of the things are sold already, but then you can check out the shops for other gems (you can find links to the specific item and seller below each group of photos).

Postcards from Italy IX - Random verticals

Just a few unposted verticals from my Italy photo archive.
(Only one "Postcards from Italy" post left in the archive!)

Day 2 + spring on my top

Gotta love flower print!
Todays "different" was that I made a detour on my way home from uni. I really think I should do that more often. The weather is amazing and I was in the mood for a longer bike ride. It was nice to see something else than what I usually see on my way to school. Actually I didn't really know where I was heading, but I thought that I could always turn around and go the same way back if I got completely lost. Luckily my sense of direction is pretty good. Breaking your routines in this way is definitely recommendable! You get to see new things and you get a little excitement by just move forward without knowing where you're going.

Let the challenge begin. 1st of March, time to do something different! I added my blog on Bloglovin', so now you can follow me there if you feel like it. I've been thinking about adding it for a long time, I guess it's time to try it out.

March Challenge?

Good evening, just a quick hello!
So, it's the last day of February tomorrow. Time really flies. Spring is in the air, the birds are singing all day long (and I'm almost singing too when riding my bike in the morning), my gloves are almost too hot to wear and there's much more light in my apartment. It's fantastic that I don't have to turn on the light in the middle of the afternoon anymore, I've been waiting for this for months.

I read about the march challenge at See Hear Say and I'm considering to take part in it. It could be fun and usually I like to stick to my routines, so it's definitely going to be a challenge. I'm now sure I can think of 31 things I can do different, but hopefully it will become easier as time goes by.
If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to inspire me!

Postcards from Italy VIII - Milan

I never finished my "Postcards from Italy" series, but better late than never, right? This is from Milan, where we spent one day looking at expensive shops, the cathedral and the beautiful arcade Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The arcade is just amazing, the roof is so fine.

In April, I'm going back to Italy (mainly Rome, where I've never been before - I'm so excited!) and I'll go to Milan for a few days, which I'm looking so much forward to. I think I'll try to get even better photos of the arcade. I just love the style it's built in. So so pretty.

Movies I've seen recently #3

If you have some extra time this weekend and you don't know what to do, you could watch a movie or two. And if you can't decide which movie to watch, here's some inspiration. I'd go for Breaking and Entering if I had to watch one of them again.

Breaking and entering (2006)
There is an architect in it. And Jude Law is in it (he's the architect, Will). It's good. Watch it, if you get the chance. Watch the trailer here. By the way, it took me a long time to realise, where I had seen Will's wife before (it happens quite often when I watch a movie, do you know the feeling?). By the end of the movie I figured it out, it was Jenny from Forrest Gump!


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
I liked the story, but it was a bit too long for my taste. In my opinion it could have been much shorter without ruining the story. I have the short story somewhere, maybe I should read it to see if it's better than the movie.


Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
I read the book last year and I must say I like the movie so much more than the book. There was to many almost identical lists in the book, the movie is more fast-paced, which definitely is a good thing in this case. A good entertaining movie, if you don't feel like thinking too much.


The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Same category as Bridget Jones's Diary. Absolutely better than the book. I found it a bit weird that Simon Baker played Christian Thompson though. To me, Simon Baker is the mentalist (haven't seen him anywhere else until now) and he's really good in the Mentalist, so it was hard for me to see him as a young writer. Plus I imagined Christian to be much younger and dark-haired.
