Today's 5 pinterest favourites

Cari-Jane at Hybridhandmade started to publish her last 5 pins on pinterest. What a great idea! The only problem is that I do not go on pinterest as much as I used to (happened with facebook - I get bored really easily), but when I do go on the site I pin like crazy... So I am not sure I can do my last 5 pins, but I can certainly do my favourite 5 of today's pinning session.

1. Can we start getting excited about winter yet? Guys, if you thought (rightly) that I loved the Autumn, you have no idea what will hit you with Winter. It is my favourite season (and my birthday)... Love this cozy interior...


2. The Art of Upcyling...The only problem is that I have an idea, I find the material and ... that is it. We bought a couple of weeks ago a coffee bean bag and I need to turn it into cushion(s)... This is a gentle reminder of what it could look like..

3. Photography... I thought this was a beautiful shot, the colours, the sparkling.. Would make a great birthday card..

4. Mittens, embroidery and colour coordination. Not sure about the felted mitten effect but love the embroidery work on the light grey medium.

5. Stylin'it Blair style. I want a cape, I do, I do, I do. And this is great styling lesson out of Gossip Girl..

So what are you last 5 pins or your 5 favourite pins of the day! Would be great to see them! Mine are available @noaslibellule.

Rich Coffee by YSL - the test

I finally tested it ... after having splashed out on it 2 or 3 months ago (at least). The Rich Coffee La Lacque (no 36) nail varnish was this morning put to the test.



This morning, I had 5 minutes max - and in that time I also needed to take pictures to show you! Let's face it, this could have failed really badly.

But it did not. As you can see within 5 minutes: nail varnish was applied (not beauty salon style, but that is all down to me), nail varnish dried and pictures were taken (blackberry). I was seriously impressed. I love that deep brown/purple colour - goth but not too goth.

I did not even had to really be careful! It has already lasted through a lot of key searches in my handbag, mugs cleaning, notes writing, and looking at it now, it has not changed! Not the cheapest, but woth the money

AND it goes super well with the mittens I knitted last year (definitely out now).. I am a convert, YSL (nail varnish) all the way...

Next time, the blue version...
