Fashion Friday - My Spring Outfit

Happy Friday everyone!!!

I'm linking up with Kori today!!!
Finally!

Spring's around the corner, and I hope that's true for all of us.
It's been a long week...but I'm glad I'm here today finally sharing one of my favorite outfits...because, well, I need a new outfit that says girlie, age appropriate, and fun!

I love Spring by crazylittleworldofmine featuring peep toe sandals

I love that this outfit is so simple and so easy.
Wish I had the money...but hey, I have time now to go out and shop for similar items that are affordable! 

Are you linking up with Kori?!
Even if not, it doesn't hurt to look at more fashion inspiration. I know I will!

Kiss Me

It's this time of year again...everything turns pink, red, filled with hearts and cute little things, lots of lovely flowers and whatnot. ;) I love this holiday, although I dread it. Not going to celebrate it this year, and I'm more than just fine with it. I think. I have my very special mug and I'm gonna spend it with my mug. Pathetic?! YES. Oh well, it's just a day. ;)

Don't worry about me.
My project this week is finding the perfect outfit for Saturday evening!! *I bought something but am not sure if it's the right one* Bachelorette party - without the bubbly. Well, for the bride-to-be that is. We can dig in if we really want to. ;) But by "we" I exclude myself. No bubbly for me, either - at least I'm trying not to get close to any of that...

Have a fantastic day.

How cute is this picture guys?
I saw it and had to share it!!!
Sort of how I'm feeling today.
It's very ugly outside, very cold, and I had too much risotto for lunch.
Not that you care what I ate but I felt like writing it down.
To cheer myself up I'm watching reruns. Mostly TVD. ;) Do I have to write it out? Na!!!

See? I totally feel like this puppy!!
Awwwww.....cutie!!!

I have two confessions to make.

For starters I do not feel as happy and as fulfilled as I wish I would. For the past few weeks I feel empty, lost, invaluable, incredibly weak, starved, exhausted, detached, lonely, vulnerable, and just hopeless. There's no hope for me. I see more negativity than positivity. I'm trying real hard to find peace, happiness, and joy wherever I go. Two days ago I sort of fell apart, and last night it got worse. I'm not lying and I won't pretend. However, I'm trying to write and distract myself these days. My writing may not even show how awful I've been feeling because let's face it we do not want to read about unhappiness. So, either way I'm trying to fake a smile or two and write/answer/comment as positively as even possible.

So, while pushing unhappy thoughts away...my second confession is that I have a huge crush. Yes, I do. Not on a person though. Oh I wish (besides, the way I see it I will never find the one!). I have a huge crush on a dutch brand (so to speak). They sell clothes, greeting cards, plates, kitchenware, etc etc. Their collection's colorful, bright, girlie..and has some fun touch to it. Just looking at everything makes me automatically five years younger!! :) 

I think I'm going for these Christmas cards this year...if I'm still in this area by then!

Pizza, Wine, and Palm Trees

I'm off to some Italian flair today!!!!
Just for one day, can't wait!

In the meantime...have a look at mini me...

I cleaned some things, and found this picture of me glued on a birthday card I received about ten years ago!
I have the original in my album but thought I would use this copy to share with you.
Rarely you can see me do that today...wearing a dress and smiling. Or share personal stuff. ;)
But I know I got it in me. Somewhere!

Little 25-month old me!!!
How weird is this?! ;)

Puppy Love

Happy weekend everyone! Any fun things planned?!
Let me know, it will definitely cheer me up!

Me?! As you may know, poor little me has to work again. Actually I work every single Saturday and Sunday. No exception. It makes my life unpleasant. It makes my bank account go up in numbers (yes!) but that job of mine doesn't fulfill me. It doesn't fully satisfy me either. Don't get me wrong (and I'm sure I've written this before) I absolutely love working with all kinds of people and helping them. I love that I can juggle three languages in one minute and organize my cluttered desk after a while and feel as if I've accomplished something. But as international as this business may be (and as exciting to so many others) I think I'm done with it. I don't know. It's not the little pay I get (ok, I do wish I would get more but in the hospitality industry you just don't get that much) or the fact that my working hours are wack and my friendships dwindle. It's also not necessarily the fact that I'm alone and miserable and don't get to have lots of fun. *of course that's one major fact* It's just that I don't seem to live. You know the saying "live to the fullest" or something like that?! This is what's missing. I don't need 24/7 excitement or action, but I'd love to have some things going on in my life.
If I could (and yes I know I could) I would once write down what I do on a regular day so you would know what I mean. It's way too sad, so I won't. Should I change anything about it? Definitely. But it's not that easy.
But well...let me not go there...I rather stick to the happy part. At some point I will confess and jot it all down, because writing always helps, but not right now.

Thanks to Chloé (thank you, thank you, thank you) and the cute little puppy she put up on her blog yesterday I knew that I had to cheer me up with some pupply love...and to make this sad day and blog entry short and end quickly I better get to the point...I went to one my favorite sites these days...ya know  We ♥ It and typed in puppy...wanna know what I found?! YES, lots and lots of super cute and adorable puppy pictures...so made my day!

Diet?!

After the holidays, and all, everyone's talking about how to lose weight quick adn easy and all that. Even one of the newspapers here, apparently, dedicated almost one page to the topic. I don't like diets. I like to eat proper and healthy, but to stick to one diet in particular?! NO WAY! To cleanse my body I did a cabbage soup diet about twice a year which really worked, but it was tough. My body felt stronger after that, and so much healthier. But such drastic diets never work. I rather stick to the healthy kind...lots of veggies, fruits, fish, lean meat, and some of these yummy fellows...
