I loved this film & it’s funny that you’ve put style inspirations: when Cameron D was in LA in the start, she went outside her house in a pair of white pajamas (which was meant to be funny) & I was thinking, those look so cozy, I want them. Turns out they were by the White Company, and discontinued, but I found them on eBay, lost them to a higher bidder, HE put them back on eBay (said they didn’t fit – I assume, his girlfriend) & I’ve been the proud owner of them for several years now. In fact I’m wearing the top as we speak ; )

That film shows England in such a good light, but for me, it made me want to live in LA for a while, too.

Anyway, just came here to say Merry Christmas as I haven’t commented in a while, and instead, got such a treat! Can’t wait to play all my favourites. Actually you’ve inspired me to do a post with some Christmas carols…

All my kisses,

I’m so glad I decided to check on my blog, even though I haven’t updated in years. I sure as hell missed you.
I’ve been doing just fine. A lot has happened, I don’t even know where to start. But the main things are: School, school, school (I’m turning into a nerd, I’m telling ya!). Oh well, as long as I pass my exams, I’m a happy girl. And ofcourse I have to do a lot for my art portfolio, because I want to study arts. (I’m working on an online portfolio: http://www.rachelyves.com ). If I have to be honest, I do feel tired of it sometimes. It just gets too much from time to time. Lately more than ever. It must be the winterblues, I guess. As I’m typing this, I’m literally stuffing myself with marshmellow, drowning in selfsorrow, you know? The moment I start stuffing myself it’s clear to me that it’s become winter. And it’s all white outside. Which I love, unless I have to go outside.
You really saw Ray Charles? Oh man, you’re one lucky woman!
I really do love the gifts you bought yourself! I’m going to buy myself some gifts this afternoon.

How have you been doing? Please try to find the time to update me. I’ve really missed you, and your wonderful stories.

Lots and lots of love,
Rachel.

Thank you for your sweet note on my blog. You know I’ve got so many editorial pictures it’s almost insane. Sometimes I wonder how my poor pc copes with my “collection”. I am doing over the knee boots tomorrow and am struggling to choose the best of the best when it comes to editorials. :) I think I’ll only use 2009/10 ones or it will be too much. :)

By the way, if you ever need any photos for your ebay shop and you can’t find any – let me know. It’ll be my pleasure to share pics with you.

Talk to you tomorrow, sweetheart!

Good night, big hug and lots of little kisses from me and Oscar.

I agree with you about Sasha P. She knows how to tie a scarf and got this unique “i don’t care what you think” chic style. You know this year I somehow saw her in a different light. I always liked her because she is Russian and I like more or less all Russian models anyway, but this year I sort of noticed her again and began to adore her. Oh, back to the scarves and her style. I really like it how she uses a large Russian shawl wrapping it around her waist, so it looks like a skirt. Have you seen those pics of her? It looks like this

Sienna used to wear a similar one as a shawl a few years ago. Do you like them? I have one, too and since it was super cold and snowing today I decided to wear it instead of my regular pashmina. I make it into a big white shawl collar and it looked really nice and kept me warm.
My mum bought it for me a few years ago and today I was missing her so much and needed to feel her presense, so the shawl helped, it was like a hug. They are unique, these shawls. They are knitted by little old grannies. My gran use to knit them, too. You know, the collect the wool, then make it into yarn and knit. Actually, I think I should really blog about it, so I can put photos and write about the history.

If you like such a shawl, please, please, please, let me know and I will get my mum to send me one next time she sends me something. It’s timeless and incredibly warm.

Sof, please post a pic of your Givenchy dress…. pretty please… Soooooooo want to see it. It is more for spring/summer? Nude shades will look so beautiful with your skin tone and your hair. You will look like a Greek Goddess, darling! Just need some sandals.

Oh, mine are still arriving, btw. Can’t wait to see and try them on.

That white shirt and blue jeans outfit you described is my favourite look! I like to wear this simple outfit and add slighly dressier sandals to it. I’ve got a pair of sandals with tiny suede flowers and beads on them. They are ancient and I absolutely adore them.

Just googled Tom Binns. Wow… I love his Read Deal cuffs!!! They are probably very expensive since it’s a ton of 18k gold in them, but oh, so beautiful… Didn’t you want his skull and crystals cuff once? I have a feeling I saw it on your blog before…

Hermes was one of my favourite shows (and I loved ss 2009, too and some winter pieces). If I could wear these clothes I would 10000%. That particular outfit is so so so sooooo beautiful… I was thinking about a white skirt last summer but it didn’t happen, because, well, Oscar happened and then the whole summer was about him and not white clothes. :))) This year I may look for one… Before I quite fancied a D&G white mini (i know what a cliche I am!), not a pensil type, but more of a full skirt, but it was super sale and my size wasn’t available. :( Still… I have a white dress, which will work well if skirt isn’t there.

And talking of Wimbledon. Did you watch the movie? It’s one of my favourites. It’s so easy to watch and it’s in England. :) As for the movie for today… I haven’t decided yet, sweet. My day somehow went from ok to really …. (insert one of those bad words I wouldn’t dare using here), so I cried a bit and then S got home and things got better, and then I got your message and Anya’s, too, so I sort of feel a lot alot ALOT better as if this heavy load suddenly fell off my shoulders. Now I am ready for a movie. :) What about you? What are you busy with this week? I wish I could catch you on FB or skype some time. LOVED talking to you.

And 10000000% year to gelato coloured dresses! :) Those pistachios and roses are so yummy. I wish Burberry wasn’t so expensive… (Or even better I wish I could have loads and loads of clients and a nice salary, so that I could spend some of it on beautiful things… :) Still, am working on the last bit, so hopefully things will start moving for me soon) Helena Christensen is wearing a BP green number on a cover of UK ELLE… and BP shoes, you know, grey soft leather, platform and wrap around ankle straps… So beautiful. Do you want a copy? You still didn’t tell me if you’d like a copy of Vogue….

Have a wonderful evening, honey! And stay warm.

Kisses (including one from Oscar, the pupster who saw (and tasted) his very first snow today) and a big hug :)

Love,
