It's Friday!!! + Passion For Fashion Link Up

Bonjour.

 

xXx

 

Haha! You weren't expecting that, were you? Well I'll explain.

As you may have noticed, I've been spending a bit of time recently, on giving my blog a bit of a face lift- a few touches here and there, to make it that little bit more 'me'. Well I've also been thinking along the same lines about content, and have decided that I would like to put my French skills to use and write regular bilingual posts. I've seen a couple of other bilingual blogs, and the idea just appeals to me a lot- what a great way to practise your language skills whilst, at the same time, reaching a wider audience :) I'll have to take some time getting the schedule all set up (I have grand ideas of a potential French language course for beginners too!) but for the time being I think it'd sound good to have 'French on Friday'... what do you think? Let me know your thoughts it the comments :)

But now, for the all important business of the wonderful, weekly Passion For Fashion link up (which also takes center stage of a Friday!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is an outfit I wore for lunch out with a friend the other day. I always feel very comfortable in skinny jeans and these black ones are my smartest pair. You can dress them, either up or down, just as easily. The top, my Beloved described as 'a bit trippy' the first time he saw it :) I love it for its effortless style- the way it falls and the feminine tie at the back. It really shows off the silhouette. The earrings were a 20th birthday present from my aforementioned Beloved, and I get complimented on them all the time due to their uniqueness!

 

Hope you all had a lovely Friday :)

Friday's Poem and Other Stories

Good Evening :)

This post will be a bit of a 'hotch-botch' tonight, but hotch-botches are good things so it's all ok ;)

 I thought I'd share with you a few pics of the donkeys I see sometimes on my morning 'walkies' with the dog, but I was only sufficiently pleased with one of said 'pics' to post it! I can assure you though, all three of them  (the donkeys that is) are adorable :) I've been in love with the creatures ever since I had a summer job helping with donkey rides at the seaside as a little girl.

Some other recent photos which came out half-decent-ish :)

this plucky little rose was in full bloom in December

The sun absolutely illuminating the town across the bay

I chose the best (in my own humble opinion) of my ever growing collection of 'inspiration-snaps' to post here tonight. The ones with the most atmosphere. Most of these weren't actually even taken with 'photography' as such, in mind, it was more a matter of 'oh that's pretty/ interesting/' and 'snap!' :) I'm especially fond of the silhouetted trees against that mucky-looking sky :)

 '1' and '2' were taken this morning on a very windy morning stroll. The sun was shining so brightly, and then all of a sudden the wind whipped-up the clouds and it went all half grey-half golden, it was exciting :)

 But to the crux of the matter and today's poem. Having almost completed my week, I think I've done ok. I was more pleased with some than I was with others but it's all experience and I have stuck to my deadlines (so far!) I couldn't keep it up much longer than a week at the moment I don't think, but it may well be something that reoccurs from time to time, we'll see :) Well here goes for this evening:

Tired This Evening

'Tired this evening,

Got nothing to say,

Not easy,

Thinking of new things each day.

Weary this evening,

Been doing so much,

Writing and snapping,

And singing and such.

Always got so many,

Things on the go,

It's the best way to live life,

I find, don't you know.

Making, creating,

My own 'show and tell',

And hopefully others,

Will like it as well.

But time to recharge,

As I put me to bed,

So many ideas,

Floating 'round in my head.

And tomorrow will dawn,

I will wake up and then,

I will start the whole journey,

All over again!'

But a girl's still gotta keep house! And even cleaning deserves to be photo-documented sometimes ;)
