Mintspiration

When somebody asks me about my favourite colour, they will very probably get a different answer every half a year or so. At the moment while all the world seems to be busy colour-blocking, I am heading in the opposite direction with my new found love of pastels. I like to incorporate those soft colours in my wardrobe, but as I'm thinking about moving house (in fact I'm thinking about leaving my little flat for a real house!!) and renovating / decorating every little part of it, I am open for pastel inspiration for interiors, too.
One of my favourite shades is mint, and I love the combination of mint with soft pink. I'm such a girly girl...

Yes, it's candy and ice cream colours for me! They've got such a light and summery air about them...

Crucial centimetres

When I went to the hairdresser before my trip to Australia to get rid of my split ends, she told me that my hair was perfectly healthy and didn't need to get a cut...! I couldn't believe what I had just heard - that was almost as good as going to the dentist and being informed that there isn't anything that needed to be done!!

You will understand my surprise when on my next visit to the hairdresser, she (another one) told me in a desperate voice that I would have to let go of 10cm of my hair! My jaw dropped and there might even have been a tiny tear in my eye when I had to consent to this unexpected treatment of my hair. I was trying to grow it really long again for I had found an old photo when my hair was even covering my bust, and I want just that. Now it looks terrible, it is too short even to properly do the messy up-do I often wear... I'm totally p.o.'d. I'm sure they made a mistake and I should have got a haircut before I went to Australia...
There is another thing about missing centimetres that I'm annoyed with, for when it comes to shopping I can't seem to find dresses in a respectable length on the high street. They only sell mini or maxi dresses, but what about dresses that would just cover the knee? I know it shouldn't be too difficult to find some for the trend of midi dresses exists, but either I'm too tall or it's just about stupid Germany that I don't seem to get my hands on the kind of dress I want. There'd be no problem if I ordered online, but I'd like to try my clothes on before buying them once in a while. I'm always sending back so many items, it would be easier to just leave unfitting garments in the shop for a change.

A truth universally acknowledged

Yeah, I've finally finished marking the class tests! That means it's time to celebrate... I'll have a bbq this afternoon with my family and join Johnny Depp tonight in the Caribbean! The weather is great and I might even try to get a little more freckled today than I already am... Tomorrow it's supposed to be raining (which will be very welcome with farmers and all hobby gardeners), and that's fine with me because I planned to spend some of my precious free time watching my favourite Pride and Prejudice again after a long time (the BBC version of course, I can't do anything with the one with Keira Knightley).
