Loving the look of British actress Thandie Newton right here.
Wait. Let me rephrase this.
Loving Thandie Newton's looks everywhere!!!

And no it's not because this is pretty much my new weekend uniform.
But it's partially because it's also the new uniform of many!:
- Blazer / jacket check
- Skinny leather pants check
- Cute tee or in my case sweater (still winter here my friend :-/ ) check

Off I go!

Want it? Get it! Easy Chic like A, B, C



A. Asos Blazer
B. Marni for H&M t-shirt (we'll ALL be on the starting blocks for that one)
C. Skinny pants

Now let me tell you this. Those skinny leather pants are life gamers. So from real leather to leatherette to coated denim, please do me a favour and go get yourself a pair now.

You'll thank me later.

till next time

Coucou all

Can this girl get anymore perfect?
Do you boo....

*sigh*

Coucou all. I hope y'all  had a great weekend.
Time has come for a new getting-to-know-me session, one random thought at a time.
Here we go!

Q1/ A politician.   
Nelson Mandela.
Boy... how I wish he could run for French or US presidency. or Both. :-)
This year's elections ought to be interesting though. From Hollande vs. Sarkozy to Santorum Romney (?) vs. Obama and of course Biya vs. Biya. Wait. I'm late? he's been re-elected already? oh well...

Q2/ A book
Nothing has quite touched me as much as "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Such a great story teller.
Same for "Je voudrais que quelqu'un m'attende quelque part" by Anna Gavalda.  My eyes were red for days both from reading and crying. lol.

Oh and for a good laugh, Hands down "Bossy pants" By Tina Fey.


  
Q3/ Can't wait to see/do/hear
A Movie: "Les Intouchables" with Omar Sy
An Exhibition: Freud @ the National Portrait Gallery. yes m'aam. It's Royalty approved
oh and if only I could see my god daughter more often...Can't wait for her to grow so we can have one of those deep "conversations" a la Carrie Bradshaw...




Q4/ A quote
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure"*

Q5/ Last thought on Valentine's day
Gratitude is the memory of the heart.
So I really thought of all the people I've met in my life.  From my family to my exes who have helped shape the person- from the foetus to the baby ;-) and from the girl to the woman ;-) ;-) - that I am today: my values, my aspirations but also the doubts I'm fighting to erase.  I'm forever grateful my path has crossed theirs and wish them well from the bottom of my heart. After all Real Love does not need a Happy ending. It simply never ends...

Alright that's it for today.

Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for next Up close and Personal which will bring a male perspective to this very girly blog world of mine ;-)

Wishing you all a great week ahead filled with Beautiful Days**

Till next time.

Yours truly,

-S

* From  "the Alchemist"
** Song of the moment: "Beautiful day" by India Arie


  

 

Sunday night eye candy here.
Just because one candy really really isn't enough in winter times.
So go ahead and stuff yourself left or right, up or down.
To each their own.

"Le choisi c'est le choisi..."*

till next time,

xoxo
