iStyle Monday : Furry Boots

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend there! Ours was not too bad. While hubby had fun putting up our 3D photoframe with souvenirs from our travels, I spent quite a bit of time going through hubby´s massive CD collection, loading up all my favourite songs onto iTunes and than synchronising them to iPod for I will be travelling 8 hours on a fast train to Geneva next week and iPod is a necessity! Other than that, my Seven Experiences business set up is more or less ready to take off and when it is 100% ready .... I will perhaps feature them once a while here. Good plan?

Speaking of holiday, I was just packing my boots for my trip when my winter boots from last years Ski holiday caught my eye. It is hidden right behind, and guess it is time to move them forward eh. It is nothing fancy, something that I impromptu picked up in Sauerland as it was freaking cold than, and nothing that my shoe can do to save my toes from turning blue. But if I have it my way, and had it planned well ... I would have go searching for something like the one I feature here. It is goooorrrrgeoussss don´t you think?

They say shoe can make a statement to your outfit. And I never though I will agree with Furry Boots kind until I saw this one.

Mad loveeeee :-)

Grey Kitchen Remodelling Plan

Hubby and I had the sudden urge to remodel our kitchen after our visit to Ikea few weeks ago. Ours currently though is perfectly sized for the two of us, and is built with very good quality material, it is green and red in colour! The colour combo, needless to say got me questioning ... where did that inspiration come from! According to hubby, it was from one of the Kylie Minoque´s concert backdrop he attended many years ago. Ha.

So ... here are some samples I found from kitchen designers in Flickr. They all look really good here don´t you think? And I think, we may have a hell of time deciding on which one.

In love with Nature

Nature of the other kind :-) If you love quirky designer items combining functionality and at the same time, with great aesthetic value ... this is it. A product call Nature from the talented duo
from Design Night.



Imagine growing my beloved herbs at the lower compartment and lovely flower plants at the top! Lovely, loveelyyy ... definately on my wish list.

Green with Envy

It is only when I arrive in my new home country that I am greeted with so much green in my life. Not only we have a huge, green garden downstairs, our whole house are surrounded by flowers and green in our window boxes. To add into the greeness, hubby themed our living room green with splashed of the shade on our dining chairs, cushion covers, vases and candles.

Well ... green is not my favourite colour, but I am learning to love it. There are certain shades of green that I will not pick up for example leave green, but give me olive green to yellow hues green anyday, and I can do wonders with it be it with clothes or for our home. Recent addition to our home? A stack of light olive green rectagular dining plates :-)

iStyle Monday ; Girly Shades

It is interesting living in a four season country. Summer is always colourful, and Spring too, and when Autumn hits, you see more brown, grey and green on the streets. Come winter, it all turns to black and grey. A bit boring, but its practical. Though its cold today as we are currently experiencing Autumn, I would like to spice up my wardrobe with pastel colours and purple. I hardly wear them here as I find them challenging to wear. My clothes are mainly black, grey, brown or red. Boring. Also, this is such a girly colour, and I think hubby would not be surprise to see me in those shades. Should I?

New Blackboard Function

I can think of thousand and one things to scribble on a black board. Fortunately, Ikea carries some pretty nice ones here and we came home with one two weekends ago. At the moment, I am having fun putting up the following ;

a) Today´s Menu, Complimentary
b) Schedule of the Week
c) Leaving messages on my whereabout to Hubby
d) Telling hubby what to do!
e) xxx (censored) Haha!

Global Touch

Me and hub are huge travel fans. But it does not stop right there. Apart from our huge collection of travel books, maps, photo collection, postcards, magnets, souvenirs etc ... we picked up a HUGEEE Map from Ikea two weeks ago (and costed us a whopping 140 Euro!) to cover almost one side of our office room´s wall. The kickoff timeframe for this mini project is this Saturday, but I suspect it will be extended to many other area.

Am super excited!

iStyle Monday : Winter Jacket

This week´s style is inspired by my constant search for a perfect winter jacket. Though I have a few in my closet, especially the grey one that saved me from the chills last winter, it is GREY and I´m still trying to get use to using that colour as an outfit to match the rest of my wardrobe. I kinda like the black one at the top left hand! It look ohhhh sooo practical, and I could almost feel how warm I will be, being inside it :-) Now, all I need to do is go find something similar like this one, coz I don´t have the budget to splurge on a designer piece here ... so if any of you came across this design and its within the price region of 300 Euro and not more, do give me a buzz. It will be much appreciated :-)

iStyle Monday ; Gilet Look

Thank you for hanging on and coming back here. iStyle is back again after a week of hideous. But that is not a bad thing, because I came back inspired by more Swedish inspiration. This weeks pick is a Gilet which I will not mention whom the designer is, but lets just say that it is a shame that this Gilet is made from Rabbit Fur. Though I admire the cut and design, I would not buy them in reality as this only means that rabbits are skinned for them. How gross is that? So, that aside ... and just for the aesthetic of it, I am loving this look at the moment and I feel that it is most appropriate with the current climate right now. And ohhh .. the japanese inspired belt, ain´t that a nice touch?

Grey Matter

While driving home from Dusseldorf from our Stockholm trip, me and hubby stumbled upon a handsome looking black Passat right infront of ours. While I ooh-ahhh at the colour and wondered why was our grey, and not handsome black ... hubby explained that grey is the new black in Germany. For cars, that is. Well, I don´t quite buy it as I find grey can at times be a bit too boring and too serious. But after browsing through some grey inspired apparels and homes on internet, I think hubby is right! It can look chic and casual when it is done right. Here are some examples. What about you? Are you a grey fan?
