When it come to the kitchen, the colours mint and baby pink are my favorites. Red and orange is cool too but lets focus on mint and pink this time. :)
I'm a complete kitchen equipment nerd... I love smeg, kitchen aid, dualit, pantone and all things cute and stylish and retro. Oh and plastic. Lots of plastic. RICE has the best plastic (well melamime) things.

Good morning! Friday! Yeay! We're going away tonight, just over the night to a small hopefully cute town.
It is pissing down now though! I hope that changes...to sunshine! :) Not snow.
The collage above is just a few photos from the past few days. The snow, our new sofa, coffee and yeah more coffee. It's like I'm addicted or something...hmm...
I need a big cup of tea now, my throat is hurting a bit.
Good looking rug from IKEA.
I've never really paid any attention to miss Alexa Chung. Well I've noticed that she's in magazines and that she is awfully skinny... Her legs are seriously scary.
But she is on the cover of lates UK Vogue and I just read the article that she has written in that issue. I really enjoyed it. Girl can write. And her face is very beautiful. She just needs a little amount of meat on her bones.
Do you like her?

I can't believe it! I'm finally warm! Heating is on, I've closed the door so that the room warms up quicker, I'm wearing: underwear, socks, jeans, 2 tops, massive fleece robe and a big knitted scarf! But it finally worked!
Think it's time for a computer break now though. I don't want to leave this room though!
I think I'll go down to the kitchen, make a lovely coffee-drink and read a bit in VOGUE.
Be right back! :)
The photo is the view from this room over the gardens. And my hand holding the back massage thing that lives in that window.
Pic 1: found. Pic 2: mine. my coffee cup...
Home day today. Mostly at least. It's so cold! The sofa is arriving tonight which will be great!
My man is coming home early so I don't need to let strangers in when I'm on my own.
I think I'm going to spend quite some time in the kitchen cooking later. I'm in a cooking mood and am trying something new tonight.
I'm in a hungry mood too, no matter how many sandwiches I put in my belly I still want more :)
Maybe it's not really helping that I'm working with cookbooks today?
Simple comfy top and kick ass shoes. I'm even more exhausted than normal today. Somethings wrong with me but no one knows what...
Anyhoooo, we're going out again tonight to that taco place. I don't know if we're doing margaritas tonight though!
I need a coffee! I'm having coca cola with my meal tonight. Yum! I can't wait.
This kind of stuff. Mmm...
Hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was fun! Party until late on Friday (we rarely stay up _that_ late so it was a bit different). The rest of the weekend must have been quite relaxing. Films and stuff. Lots of time on our sofa that will soon be thrown out or burnt down. We're getting a new one on Wednesday!
Good day but weird day. Weak... But better now. Lots of homemade Starbucks coffee and yummy food. Skins and Secret Diary Of A Callgirl during the day for study breaks.
Party party tonight! Looking forward to it.
Oh and the sun is shining! :)
Inspired by today. Coffee, starbucks, pretty cup, pretty labels...
Plus some: Warm soft tops, cool different accessories, awesome boots.
Penguin Bags. Perfect as book bags. I want the A Room Of One's Own one. That book means a lot to me. Penguin also make mugs, tea towels and notebooks (and pens I think) with prints of their classics. I got the A Room Of One's Own mug for Christmas.
I love this photo from the blog cupcakes and cashmere. Coffee and cupcakes. YUM... I'm getting hungry again now!

photos © Russian DollWe get great lovely warm afternoon sunshine in our bedroom. I like to sit there with a big coffee and my books.
Lots of cookies have been baked today. I'll go and snap some pictures in a bit. :)
I'm in desperate need of some warmer long sleeved tops. Like these tops and cardigans above from TOPSHOP. I'm so cold and there's never enough long sleeved tops in my wardrobe... T-shirts with short sleeves - I have loads of them. But they're no good in the winter, unless you have enough cardigans to wear with them. I'll have a look this weekend for some new tops.

The hot chocolate I had yesterday mmmm!
apparently, I'm this font.
I'm pampering myself for a little moment this aftern0on. I've just made and drunk mint hot chocolate with whipped cream. Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy... time for a hot shower and some nice body products now. I'm freezing!
I love these photos. Especially the first one. Gorgeous!
Weekend was awesome and felt longer than usual which is always nice because that means more time with my man. More relaxing, more fun. School work today as always. My knee really hurts...I must have slept on it in some funny way but now I can barely walk... ouch. Coffee time now I think.
Whooops! A pint of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough accidentally fell into my stomach over the weekend... YUM!
Today is slow. I'm working on some projects for school...drinking coffee but now I fancie tea...
I baked loads of cookies yesterday. Milk chocolate chip and Oat & raisin. We were supposed to give them to one of C's friends but it snowed and the world stopped. So we couldn't go. C took them to work today instead. There were so many! We still have some in the house though, you can't give away aaaall the yummy cookies without saving some for yourself. :)
Retro, clean, magazine piles, light and bright and oh did I say RETRO?
