Dress from Milan

I told you before about this dress I bought in Milan, now I've taken pictures of the beauty so you can see my dress yourself!
She (I prefer to call the dress a woman) is mint colored and is longer at the back than at the front, the back touches the back of my knees.
The waist is accentuated by the brown cincture with studs on it, the cincture is very elastic and adhered to the dress.
The dress feels very soft and flutters when I move, I am in love with her!

See you soon!

Baking Time!

Mmmm, are you just as fond of delicious cakes, pies, and chocolates as I am?
I like baking and making these little pleasures yourself makes you joy them even more!
This weekend Daphne and I made a cupcake-pie !
We started making the pie, after buying the ingredients, the pie went in the oven, and we could wait.
Our pie was going to have a 'second floor' and a cupcake on top of it, so we made some extra dough. We noticed that we had made little too much dough, because instead of one cupcake, we made eight. ;)

The day after, we could start decorating the cake, now it was cooled down.
We cut the pie in two pieces and spread jam between them. The 'second floor' cake and the cupcakes had some cacao in the dough, so they we're more like chocolate cake. :)
We rolled the fondant and placed it on the cake, it's hard to get that look really smooth because it breaks easily when you have to cover a big area.

Here you see the making off.

We decorated the pie with flowers, butterflies, and of course cupcakes made of fondant!
For the cupcake on top of the pie we made a topper, with sugar and butter.
Altogether you get this, in my opinion beautiful, cake!
And it tasted delicious!

See you soon!

Picnicing avec mon ami

Both taking food with you, carrying a wooden basket, including a checked carpet, and ... a camera.
My friend Miriam and me went out for a picnic in the woods,
We ate a delicious egg with Greek cheese on a sandwich and some fruits while we we're chatting about our holidays: what juicy things had happened to our marvelous lives. ;)

You can't go out with a friend to a beautiful place without taking a camera, so we did neither.
We took some pictures in the woods, among the trees.
Running though the forest path, being tied down in the thorn bush, taking pictures, and most important of all; having a good time.

WHOA! TREES WITH ARMS!

What am I wearing? - Skinny Jeans from Only. - top: red shirt, bought by The New Yorker. - Jeans waistcoat, I really don't know where I got it from anymore, I've had this cloth for so long already!
Shoes: Vans.


See you soon!

Italy

I have been on holiday to Italy!

Verbania and Cannobio.

We, my parents, my boyfriend, his parents and I, were there for two weeks, at the lake called 'Lago Maggoire'.

It was such a beautiful place! I totally love those Italian villages, with their small lanes and platforms and, oh it's just so lovely!

The weather was great too! The first week was hot, the second was just good weather, only sometimes it rained or there was (really loud) thunderstorm. Yep, that's also Italy.

The first week we had an apartment in Fondotoce, a small village nearby Verbania. Our apartment was in the middle of nowhere. 

Well, okay, not really in the middle of nowhere, but it was quiet and surrounded by trees, and palm-trees. I like palm-trees! You won't see them very soon in the Netherlands. ;)

On Wednesday 31 July we went to MILAN! 

What a beautiful city! 

So much handsome, Italian, businessmen over there, and all of the women are dressed so fashionable! Very much women wore beautiful dresses! 

I also bought a dress in Milan! in the 'JDC urban store', it's a beautiful dress, it's mint colored and a very nice cloth. I am really happy with my purchase!

The second week we were at Maccagno, nearby Luino. This apartment was at an opposite place as our previous, it was in the village center, and we shared the house with multiple families. The beach of the lake was very close, the beach wasn't an amazing beach; instead of sand was it full of little rocks.. Kind of like a rough massage for your feet... 

We also visited three small islands! These islands are called; Isola Madre, Isola Pescina and Isola Bella. These islands are full of beautiful gardens! We had wonderful weather, so we could take really good photographs. Every island had a palace, all really huge and very beautiful! The palace on Isola Madre had a lot rooms which were filled with marionettes, made a long time ago, of course. The people seemed to love the creepy part of theater, because a lot of the marionettes had angry or creepy faces, or they were devils or monsters... They did really creep me out!

In one of the rooms in the palace on Isola Bella had Napoleon slept. Too bad that we couldn't jump on the bed he slept in, because it looked like a really nice, soft, and most of all: BIG bed! 

I've had a holiday to remember!

See you soon!
