is this a dream?

How bout you listen to this:






It's been swowing like hell. Well, at least that's what I used to think. Now it's actually more like little white pixies in flared white Gaga-dresses, sparkly shoes and mountains of white hair falling from the elegant grey the sky has dressed itself in.

The world has come to a halt.




Moments like these make me come to a halt, too. Think about the truly important things. Let me widen my perspective. Encourage me to take a different route.
While strolling through the snowy streets yesterday, I decided to take a different route. And I was rewarded. I found the most precious little shop, full of vintage furniture, clothing, scarves, gloves, purses, candles and pillows lingering everywhere.





It was warm and cosy, full of mirrors, satin, velvet and sparkly lights. I must have spent at least 30 minutes in there and loved every second of it. It always makes a difference whether shopowners or assistants talk to you because they want to sell their stuff or because they are truly interested.

Later on I walked past a tiny Indian shop. I went in to talk to the owner, who is the most lovely person. He was a bit shy at first, but warmed up after a while and we had a great talk. He said he has to be careful, because people have tricked him into buying things etc. before.
It makes me quite sad that this is the way you tend to (have to) behave nowadays.
We could have so many wonderful encounters if it weren't for the tiny percentage of humans ruining it for the rest of us.



Some fabulous winter-ish pieces that keep me warm and comfy:





Yorn overknee socks with angora - so warm!








Worn before with McQueen skirt, Yorn cashmere jumper, Mango belt, Marciano heels:










Snood with buttons! by Best Behavior from that sweet shop I went to yesterday



Enjoy the rest of the song!

Hope you have a lovely day munchkins!
