Crochet at Elle Aime

I had a very lovely day yesterday. I got to spend it with my friend Rosalyn, I finally met the lovely Lisa at her store Elle Aime ánd I learned the basics of crochet!


Rosalyn gave me the crochet workshop as a present because I took pictures at her wedding and designed her wedding announcement, so sweet! The workshop took place in the Rotabs Stylecenter, where Lisa has her store Elle Aime.


Upon arrival we walked in on this lovely set up, cute yarn, all sorts of sweets and pretty craft books.


Once all the other participants had arrived we started crocheting. I was a little nervous, because in my opinion crocheting was very difficult. Luckily we had good teachers! I learned that once you get the hang of it a little, it isn't so hard at all :)!


I didn't make something in particular yet, but I did learn the basics and I'm now working on crocheting a bow for my hair. I still need a lot of practice but I've already discovered the addiction in it so that'll be alright I guess ;)!


Afterwards we browsed Elle Aime, and it's so great! I felt like a kid in a candy store, wanted to touch everything and of course take some goodies home with me.


I really admire Lisa for her cute style, and she turned out to be a very nice person as well ;)! I forgot to take a picture of her though :(.


Lisa recently collaborated with Made By White, you should really take a look at they're joined work because it's fabulous! View it here and here.


And of course I couldn't help myself... Here's yesterdays score!

Lomo Saturday


Here it is! The peachy perfect picture I took with my new Polaroid 340 (see post below). I adore it! Probably because it took me a while to get the perfect light settings and for a second I thought I wasn't going to make it with one package of film. The first two shots were pretty much black and the third one over exposed. In the fourth picture I could finally recognize my kitties, though it's a little shaky:


What I love about this camera apart from it's pretty exterior, is that you have to pull out the photo yourself. And let me tell you, it feels very cool to do so :).

Camera: Polaroid 340 automatic land camera

Thrift Finds


Some wonderful thrifts I found lately, starting with my favorite find. A somewhat kitsch mail holder with a dog. Can't wait to hang it somewhere pretty :).


A lot of 'forsaken souls' have found their way in to my home ever since Dottie Angel introduced me to them.


Always on the hunt for cute card games, fairy tale themed ones are my favorite!

Have you found something wonderful lately?

It's the little things


Like finding the perfect fall mug during thrifting for 0,30 cents, ready for a lot of tea and hot chocolate milk...


Getting the new magazine Vega for free because I was one of the first voters for the sexiest vegetarian election, and knitting a tiny hairbow...


Buying these too cute little vases while grocery shopping...


More heart bokeh experiments...


Eating yummy homemade quiche...


Kitties enjoying the heater, they're very happy it's that time of the year again :)...


And pretty Cath Kidston masking tape.

Lomo Saturday


A double exposure of me sitting on a fence. iso 400 is a little too light for double exposures. I sat on this fence last year too :). 


We passed this charming little house on our stroll, they had fruit for sale :)


Another double exposure, my hand with a flower.

Dress Up #13 and Bangs


Oops, chopped off my toes, ah well :). My outfit today is one of my latest faves. The top is actually a little vintage dress, but a real short one! I always wore it with pants underneath but it's actually pretty nice with a skirt over it too. And I love this skirt because it hides my chubby tummy.


I need to get my bangs cut... but I'm afraid to! Every time I go to a hair dresser I end up regretting it or my hair ends up different than I want it to be. I've tried cutting my bangs myself a couple of times but that was even more of a disaster. I wonder if straight bangs would look nice on me.. what do you think :)?

Outfit Details:

Top/Dress: Episode | Skirt/Belt/Tights: h&m | Shoes: Vintage/Marktplaats | Little bow in hair: Fovever21 | Necklace: Primark
