Link Love!


This was a really busy week for me... So I didn't have that much time to read around the web... But this are some posts that I found really read-worthy:
  • Let's start with Sal at Already Pretty, an almost constant presence in my link love (who could blame me?): she offers some useful tips on how to wear black not as a safe choice coming from laziness, but in an intentional way - of course, as any great teacher, she offers plenty of examples!
  • The Simply Luxurious Life really amazes me with the amount of noteworthy posts she can write in a week. Here are three gems: Discover yourself and set yourself free, an ode to reading (LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!), the third part of creating one's own signature style, and some more thoughts on money.
  • From the Daily Connoisseur, the french take on simple pleasures.
  • Some reflections on dressing chic from Cupcake Caramel.
  • And a post at Yes and Yes on international gender bending. So interesting yet so far from out way of thinking, in my opinion.

The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!

Birthday thoughts.

I am starting this post with a picture of me, cutting a cake, on Sat night, at the end of dinner. I had my sisters, parents and little niece for dinner, and it was a very pleasant evening. The day before I went to my ex' place, and took every last bit I had left there (winter coats, and other random stuff, such as a muffin pan, and the tablecloth you can see in the picture). This was one of the presents I gave myself for my birthday. The lightness of knowing that everything is done, finished and closed, and I don't need to have anything to do with him anymore. Then, for my "new year", I decided to be a tiny bit braver, and ask people to do stuff with me. I have always been pretty shy about it, because I have always thought if people want me with them, they'd ask me. But I have come to realize that others like to be invited and involved, too! So, I was talking to a colleague I am pretty close to, and we decided to book a vacation to Sicily together, with ano...
