Big Dreams and The Headlines - Simone White

Though I've started hibernating and bundling up in blankets and shawls, I have yet to get into the cozy activities of winter. But I hope I'll get to reading, knitting and blogging more again now that the post-holiday days are here.

How were your holidays by the way?

Christmas Waltz - Mindy Gledhill

I'm finishing up my holiday shopping and gift wrapping everything. I actually haven't listened to any Christmas songs yet, but I think it's time to whip out my seasonal CDs too. Can't celebrate the holidays long enough, can you?

How is your holiday planning coming along? Almost done or are you a last-minute shopper?

Florida Rain - Matt Bauer

It is cold and -since the clock changed- it's been getting dark very early. It's making me want to knit more! So I hope to cast on a lovely new project soon. I have one in mind already! It'll be nice to add another warm sweater to my wardrobe.

Are you stocking up on some warm new clothes? And have you got anything on your needles?

While My Guitar Gentle Weeps - Regina Spektor 

It's been a few weeks since I went to see Kubo and the Two Strings, yet I still think about it. And I keep playing the soundtrack too. So here is a collection inspired by the film. If you've seen it you'll recognize all the elements.

Did you see the movie yet? Where you blown away by it as well?

Pluto - Clare and the Reasons

I really love duck egg blue. Especially when it's combined with gold! It looks so vintage, so magical and so soothing. And I just love the items in this collage. If only I could afford that vest! I might just get those cute socks though...

What is your favorite soothing color combination?

Bloom - The Paper Kites

It's sweater weather and I am recovering from a serious cold. So it is unmistakably Fall! Hopefully in a few days I can go out and find myself some orange trees to marvel at and photograph. And maybe drink some hot chocolate after...

How are you holding up? And are the colors of Fall sparking your creativity as well?

Maybe - Isbells

We've had some serious rain recently. Days like that make me want to light a candle and sit down with a journal. Journaling has been my new go-to pastime. As a blogger it makes sense to love it. It's a bit like blogging for yourself. Or perhaps blogs are just public journals. Either way, it seems that working on either one inspires the other too.

What have you been up to lately? Any new hobbies? Or… any pretty new notebooks?

Better Man - Leon Bridges

Fall is here! Though I love the warmth of summer and am sad to see it go, I also adore the coziness Fall brings. It is perfect for creating your own bubble of music, tea and something creative. And I discovered Leon Bridges just in time!

What are you looking forward to about Fall?

Paris Nights/New York Mornings - Corinne Bailey Rae

It is getting warmer and all of a sudden it is wonderful to be outside again. There is little I love more than exploring the city when the weather is nice. To not be in a rush, not be carrying a heavy coat around, but to just relax and go wherever I please. To lose track of time as I walk through unfamiliar streets and discover little gems along the way.

What do you like to do on those glorious warm-yet-not-too-hot spring days?

Never Be That Tough - Simone White

It's a pretty crazy time here and I'm doing my best not to get too overwhelmed, so I very intentionally try to relax whenever I can. And I thought these soothing items fit that very well. I love the serene colors and subtle patterns.

What do you do to keep your cool during stressful times?

King of Anything - Sara Bareilles

It's King's Day this Wednesday. Everyone dresses up in orange (although I might cheat and go red, white, blue again…) and sells or buys old stuff on the street. So far the weather forecast isn't great, but I'm pretty sure I'll go out for my yearly tradition of hunting cheap Disney movies (and picking up a few other treasures as well)… even if it's just for a little while.

Do you have anything exciting planned this week? Or did you maybe thrift anything cool recently?

Lovely Movies: Ricki and the Flash

Of course I know Meryl Streep can do anything, so I had absolute faith that she could play a rock chick, however I had not expected the day would ever come that she would take a part like that. But then came Ricki and the Flash!


Meryl did such an amazing job! Not just with the rock star persona, but also with the actual music. She genuinely sounds like a rock singer! Also, fun fact: her actual daughter is playing her daughter in the movie as well.


I tend to love movies like this. Movies about people that did not end up where they hoped they'd be, that kind of screwed up, live a little awkwardly, but still manage to find some sort of silver lining, albeit quite ungracefully.

P.S. It somehow made me think of Dan in Real Life. It's definitely a different story, but it somehow had a similar vibe… so if you enjoyed that, be sure to give this one a go. And if you liked this, then go watch Dan in Real Life.

 Everybody - Ingrid Michaelson

Temperatures have risen! Not enough for dresses and skirts, but it's headed in the right direction and it does seem like it might be possible to dust mine of in the near future. And otherwise I'll just cheat and add leggings or skinny jeans.

Are you already rocking bare legs or is it also a little too soon where you live?

Traffic in the Sky - Jack Johnson

Wearing dark blue tends to make me feel very productive, calm and focused. And that's exactly what I've been trying to be lately. Although writing this, I realize I don't wear it often… But perhaps I should! It might just help, haha!

Do dark blues have the same effect on you? Or does another color perhaps?

Moonglow, Lamp Low - Eleni Mandell

I just treated myself to the bedsheets above. (On sale, yay!) They make my inner child smile, but are still very mature. And they're also fun and serene at the same time. Which is the theme I try to go for in my bedroom anyway. I mean, it has to inspire sleep, but it doesn't have to get dull. Anyway, just imagine them against my turquoise walls and grey bed..!

What colors did you pick? And do also try to stick to that whole calm bedroom rule?

小塵埃 - 貓大人息怒


It is officially spring! And though it doesn't feel like it yet, the fact alone is a huge moodlifter. It's like there's suddenly a lot more to look forward to. Even Tofu seems to think so, haha; he likes having birds to spy on through the window.

Does it already feel like spring where you live? And what are looking forward to about this season?

Grow - Wake Owl

After I woke up today I saw that my friend Olga from wassupbrothers had made a sweet facebook post reminding me that it's been four years since I first posted about her owls and we became friends. It was a great start to an otherwise slow and stormy day! So here's a colorful collage, for Olga and anyone else who needs some extra color today!

What was your silver lining today? Anything fun happen that made you smile?

Take My Heart - Soko

It's starting to get a lot lighter, which I love! I still bundle up when I go outside, but it's so much nicer when there's a bit of sunshine. And even indoors it's a lot more inspiring. I might actually be able to take blog pictures again soon!

What are you up to, now you can actually see what you're doing again, haha?

Lavender - Ray LaMontagne

Hello again! I'm getting to the part of my flu where I can do things that go slightly beyond pressing buttons on the remote control every now and then. Also, I just got my new Ray LaMontagne cd! So things are slowly looking up!

What's new with you? Oh, and let me know if you have any ingenious winter-survival tips!

Silver Bells - Meaghan Smith

It'll be Christmas in just a few days! Can you believe it? I've been looking forward to it for so long that I can hardly believe it's nearly here. I have all my gifts at the ready, most of the food in the kitchen, so I'm pretty much set!

How about you? Do you have anything nice planned?
