I totally do understand him. Ducks are even worse as they need water:sad:

My plans stuck a little bit. I was planing to dress in a nice summerdress and go out to the lake or the river to swim. Then I woke up and saw the white mess outsides. Now I am sitting in my bed, starring out of the window and mumbling " bring in the spring. Bring in the spring. Bring in the spring".

Didn't work yet.

Haha. Spring will come, don't worry. You can walk the little ice bear through a magic winter wonderland, today. ;)

In our city one sees lots of logo bags--mostly fake Coach I assume. Or plain black bags. We have a university here and black seems to be the uniform. When classes change on campus you can look down the hill and see swarms of black creatures pouring from the buildings and moving through the streets. And that's all they wear, black. Black jackets, black pants, black hats and scarves. It's kind of depressing really.

Oh my! This is completely opposite from what the youth wear here. If it's not for the mourning of the king, I believe many girls won't even have black in their closet since colors especially the girls prints is kind of all the rage here. But since the mourning last October, black and all the dark palette are everywhere, too.

Bring the New Year on! Poppy Bays is in town!
Poppy is such a glorious colour and I WISH I had bought that poppy red Lexy in shrunken calf when I had the chance. The colour is so saturated.
Enjoy giving her and the Rooster a spin, my friend. :happydance:
And get some ice cream. Quick! :giggle:

oh dear, Ludmilla! :sad:
I saw a wonderful preloved Mulberry Bays in that colour on labellov.com...:heart:
It's so beautiful but.... I cannot buy another red bag, can I?:confused1:
I should go into rehab quick!:nuts:

Oh yes, they do have art departments--many art departments! And theatre and dance. Skinny jeans are often part of the uniform. And Le Pliage bags are common. Lots of black leather backpacks. Occasionally a Neverfull. And large fur things on the legs with tights. I'm at a loss as to how to describe the fur things except that they look like big fluffy fur stoles wrapped around the ankles. They are so fluffy it's hard to tell if any boot or shoe is involved.

I try to remember what I wore in college but I have absolutely no memory of it. That is probably a good thing. :shocked:

I do remember... Black from head to toes!:nuts::nuts:

A friend who went to Thailand told me about it.
I met her a few hours before she went to the airport and she was already dressed in dark grey.

Hehehe. I am always in handbag heaven when I travel down south and see all the real bags. :biggrin:

I think the girls are still practicing with their outfits and they follow too many instagram bloggers. They try to dress like people they admire, but not like the person who they are. It always shows I think. And there have always been dress codes at uni. During my time as a student each and every law student had ballerinas, skinny jeans, a pastel coloured blouse and a jumper (both Hilfinger), pearls (necklace and earrings) and a Barbour wax jacked. And a Le Pliage. We called them Perlen-Paulas (pearl Paulas). :giggle: To be honest the Perlen-Paulas had better taste than the students I see now.... They looked always put together just a bit boring.

YES! I remember! In my times it was a grey Benneton sweater, a blouse, pearl earrings, a Tiffany bracelet and a quilted jacket :biggrin:

And BWL had the same but with pretty colors and buttom up :biggrin:

I miss those days.

No, it's a real dresscode where I work. Like mandatory. We are supposed to send the students home to change when the outfit doesnt meet the guidelines.



And stil they manage it.. Don't know how. Guess you are right, they copy something they saw from instagram?

the little icebear hates winter, which makes me totally happy as the last icebear I had was like "winter? Snow? cold? I'M COMING!! Let's go let's go let's goooooo!!". 18 years of freezing in the cold. This one loves to lay in the sun and swim in the river.

@Mariapia: how did the Ugg boot search end up? Compared to " I stepped into Mr. Yeti and am not sorry for that"-boots Uggs really do look nice, don't they?

I didn't find my size, millivanilli. The shop owner told me those boots sold like hot cakes for Christmas.
How come we always think that we are the only girls to be interested in a special item?:shocked:

Arg. I am angry. Actually everbody talks about the Trumps, including Melania- no don't panic, no political discussion going on. Somebody, let's call her A, assumes, that the couple is already seperated. Another female friend (let's call her B) added her thoughts.

I answered that IF that would be the case, I'd really feeld for her, as living with a partner you don't love anymore but are forced to by circumstances is really hard.

Boy, did they go after me.Beginning with " I really do not feel for her" over " that is self choosen" and so on. I am angry and frustrated at a very high level.

When on heaven sake will that stop, that catiness of women. DonÄt we have enough to fight through, do we still have to pick on another woman? Just because she is a woman? And perhaps beautiful and perhaps has enough money? Do we still have to be green with envy.. When oh when will that stop.

Do we start telling everybody that his or her fate is " self choosen"? Do we really think, that we have the right to sit on a high horse, jusging, only to make us feel better? Next time I'll tell either A or B, when they start complaining about how hard life is as a divorced woman that they "choosen it for themselves".



Sorry, had to let it out. I'll stop now. Normally I am really calm and don't care too much, but this hit a soft spot.
