I fell in love with 

this little beauty on Etsy ...

... so I had to make one myself!

London Calling

A new outfit for my phone :)

Why buy pretty clothes 

for myself only?

P.S.: Dearest London, I'll see you in a few weeks!

Nothing to do with anything, really, but I completely adore this Joules ad :)

Isn't it just the funniest thing?

Tulchan Surprise

A while ago I got a surprise mail from Tulchan. Would I be willing to review one of their cardigans from the new collection if they sent it to me? Would I??? 

I was contacted by Gemma, Tulchan's Digital & Direct Marketing Executive, and I was absolutely thrilled. Over the moon. Tickled pink. The cardigan on the photo was gorgeous. It was even more so when it arrived. I mean, look at it!

Gemma told me she had been reading my blog and she liked the way I had styled my Tulchan pieces. I have a great many Tulchan pieces, FYI, Tulchan is one of my favourite brands. It took me a while to come up with styling ideas for this beauty. And finally, ta-dah ...

Outfit No 1

Outfit No 2

Outfit No 3

Close-up of the embroidery

I mentioned to Gemma that I absolutely love Tulchan socks, I am a proud owner of a rather pretty selection, and she was so kind as to pop a little surprise in the post, along with the cardigan! Aren't they absolutely gorgeous as well? 

I was very happy to receive the pretty blue package. This is the very first sponsor item in my closet, and I couldn't be happier. 

Thank you so much, Tulchan!

Outfit details:

1 Tulchan cardigan styled with Joules brogues, tights can't remember, Boden denim skirt, belt from local supermarket, Boden white top

Meet Your Neighbours©

One of my many beautiful birthday presents this year, 

from my big brother & his family!

My big bro is an avid nature photographer, he contributes to many renowned nature photography magazines, including National Geographic Slovenija, and he participates in a very interesting project, Meet Your Neighbours©. He knows all about my love for Scotland, and the first pic was taken especially for me :) 

Thank you so much, I loved my present!

My Pianist

He attended a piano competition yesterday.

Fabulous performance. 

And I'm not the only one who thinks so ... :) 

My boy!

P.S.: Sorry I don't have his performance on video (yet) but this is what he played:

:: Rachmaninov Prelude in C-sharp minor ::
:: Grieg March of the Dwarfs ::
:: Gershwin An American in Paris ::
:: Rijavec Dancing at Zagorca :: 
(Slovenian composer)

Sorry!

Right, so sorry about that. Last year apparently wasn't exactly my best blogging year. I stopped publishing sometime in October, even though there were many ideas at the back of my mind that I wanted to share with you. I kept taking pictures for a while but once I realized I couldn't find any time for posting them I stopped that as well. 

We're well into the new year already, my birthday has passed (I always associate my birthday with Christmas & New Year holidays, as I was born on January 6), and hopefully my blogging energy will restore. I did something a good blogger would never do, I guess, I posted the old photos with the approximate dates they were meant to be posted - once again, sorry about that. I can't promise to be a regular contributor in 2015 but I will do my best. I still very much enjoy following your blogs, though!

And if my blog is a sort of an unfinished project, here's another one! I've wanted to crochet a blanket for aaages, and I've had these granny squares made for at least two years, but I somehow can't bring myself to actually finish the darn thing. So here's to a challenge in 2015! Will keep you posted on the progress, I promise!
