Little things

Blogger Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere can be an inspiration for many things. She has many DIY ideas, fashion and make-up tips and yummy recipes but today she inspired me with something else.
Regularly she posts a blog under the name of 'Five things'. In this blog she simply shows and names five things that make her happy.
And be honest, it really is that easy. Pretty flowers, something new after shopping, a good time with friends, your pet, a good meal, anything can make you happy.

Fifi Lapin

Her latest book is 'The wonderful world of Fifi Lapin: Style secrets of a furry fashionista'. How fun is that?
It's not in the regular book stores here but I found some possibilities for online shops so I'm secretly hoping this one will be under the Christmas tree for me.

Treasure hunt
This one is the catch of my latest 'treasure hunt' aka vintage shopping. I personally am not a fan of all vintage items but I do love furniture a lot. This one was hidden away, all kinds of Christmas decorations stacked on top of it, but that didn't keep me from finding it. Lovely isn't it?

Cutie
My sisters pet rabbit Nacho is the cutest thing in the world. Who wouldn't love a face like that?

Home made

Home made pizza. I love pizza as it is but as many things, home made is often the best. I'm baking one as we speak and the entire ground floor of the house smells so good, I'm hungry!

Hart of Dixie

A series with a fun storyline, starring Rachel Bilson and this guy... instant success! I started watching it because of Rachel Bilson, but when the character 'Wade' came into the picture, it was settled.
His name is Wilson Bethel, obviously he is drop dead gorgeous (you should see that crooked smile) and he's young! Not a George Clooney hot but 'Oh boy he's hot' .
Spoiler!
He and Zoe (Rachel Bilson) actually get together in the series at some point, yay! Don't we all wish we were her?

I hope you are all gonna make pizza, be nice to your pet and watch Hart of Dixie right away. Enjoy!

Love,
Noes

The Great British Bake Off

Anyone out there just as obsessed with baking as I am? Holla!

It's not just baking itself that I love but also all these great TV shows about cakes, cupcakes, cooking and last but not least... contests.
Last night I discovered The Great British Bake Off on BBC Two and it's really something.

Twelve contestants start the biggest baking adventure of their lives. They will be tested on every baking skill because they simply need to make everything; cookies, cakes, desert, bread and everything by following the recipes of famous bakers. Recipes we can keep for ourselves too ;)

Watch the show every Thursday night on BBC Two.

It's been a while

There are enough excuses to explain why it has but that's just useless.
Only one of them inspired me to blog about: I need to focus on things that make me happy, not on the things that make me feel bad.

So here we go..


Just so you know

Going to











Going to be busy with








Fashion and style















Things that always make me smile








This post has become something like tumblr but pictures just say so much more than words.
I'm also gonna host a tea party soon with everything homemade (by me of course) so that will mean new blog recipes!

Start me up!

We're half way there, whoa livin' on a prayer.

The combination the Glee girls made out of The Rolling Stones' start me up and Bon Jovi's living on a prayer is probably my favorite song at the moment but I have to make a confession. When I saw a Glee episode for the first time, I was horrified!

Don’t get me wrong, I totally love the series now but at first I took the whole storyline a bit to serious and didn’t know what to think.
Luckely now I realized the story is not supposed to be so serious and the songs are so much fun. I'm a Gleek now!

After seeing a few episodes I think it’s only fair to say that Britney has much more potential than she seems to have with her goofy character. She’s actually a very good singer and (you’ll know it too after watching the clip) a great performer too.
I don’t really have favorites, I especially like the diversity of the group.

Start me up ft. Living on a prayer by the Glee girls


A few other awesome songs are the time warp, the entire Britney episode, billionaire, telephone, forget you, can't touch this, the empire state of mind, bad romance and well actually almost every other song.

So for everyone that’s not watching Glee I suggest you are going to in the future, you have a lot of cool songs to catch up on.

Love xx,
Noes
