i made

"cupcakes"


well, i cook very often and try different recipes. yet, i haven't made a cupcake before! till, today. 

maybe because i don't like to eat desserts and cakes so much or maybe because of my only "making cupcake attempt" was disappointingly unsuccessful; i did not try again. 

but today i did not go to school - because of the snow that buried the city, so i had a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

not so bad for a first i guess...

i have seen

"breakfast at tiffany's"


for the 100th time maybe. it is "the" movie for the times that i want to feel good. the clothes, places, people and the "moon river"... now i realize that i even memorized some lines.
and how great is to be holly golightly. just as the name.

i bought

"a hat"


from a boutique that i discovered recently.
last week i went to the "old town" part of the city with my friends. while we were wandering around in old buildings (which were inns once) and their beautiful courtyards, we saw one wooden building with small shops in it. 
not all the shops were open, but we walked around. on the 3rd floor i saw a cute, little hat shop!

then comes the butterflies in the stomach, increased heart rate and a stupid smile on the face. yes! the typical signs of finding a great place to shop.
i stayed in there for quite some time, yet i only got out with one hat. yet, contrary to many of my shopping experiences it was something that i really loved and i was 100% happy with.
it was a store with both newly made and 2nd hand hats, gloves and hair accessories. it was mostly for fall and winter, and maybe spring. but the owner said that there will be more to come in april.

but the main reason that i did not buy 70% of the store was the unfortunate evolutionary changes that are reflected to our bodies (in this case mine). i guess the people were smaller back then. by "then" i don't mean hundreds of years. even a few decades count. at these times i wish that i was more of a petit type. 
yet, lucky for me i'm much more into chic but masculine style when it comes to hats. and this is a men's hat that i bought.

i baked

"gingerbread cookies"


my holiday reached to its end and i'm back in school. before i left my parents house i cooked for them and baked a little. this is one of my favourite cookie recipes. 

i bought

"some flowers"


to celebrate the spring to come. 
on the 3rd week of my holiday that i'm spending with my family, we went out with my mom to buy some cute pots(2 exactly) for the flowers in her kitchen. then we came back with 4 flowers, 5 package of seeds and 6 pots. 
one of the things that we have in common with my mom is our love for the nature. since we don't have a garden; buying flowers and seeds, taking care of them and having a quite broad vocabulary about plants are our common field.  

we bought 2 saintpaulias. i found the one on the right with white border on the petals. there was only one. and i got it!

then we planted our cyclamen in one of the pots we bought. this flower has a special meaning for my family actually . i lost my grandfather  last week. when we went to his funeral, the graveyard was full of wild cyclamens. i had never seen a wild one before 'till then. my mom got one and planted it in a can. today she replaced the can with a pot. 

 we also bought a stephanotis. it can be rephrased as an indoor jasmine.

while we were walking around the store, there was a beautigul fragrance. but i couldn't find the exact source of it, since we were surrounded by all of these flowers. then my mother told me "do you smell the liliums?". yes, she has a better knowledge about flowers! then we decided to buy one. they don't only smell great, they also look so pretty.

 i also bought some seeds. sage, basil, chives, parsley and thyme.

i'm hoping that the seeds that i bought will grow and resemble my mother's "in-door pot garden".

i want

"classic chanel flap bag"


jumbo size, nude.
i just love the color and the pattern fitting so well together. black and red are ok too. but the nude is by far my fav. i like the medium ones as well. still, jumbo would be my choice if i'd get one.

i want

"burberry ipad case"


i'm sorry marc jacobs ipad case but this just kicks your ass. especially this maroon one on the first photo. 
yet, i'm not in the mood(yeah it is only about the mood) for spending €295.
