I did another DIY project the other day and so far it seems like this is one of my favorites :)
I used an old tray, painted it several times white. After that I drew the Chanel sign on it and filled it in with black paint.
That is the result! I love it! And my friends, too, which means that I have already several orders and I need to "produce" some more.
In the last few weeks I bought a ridiculous amount of new shoes. It is almost a bit embarrassing but hey, I love shoes. And life is too short, just get these shoes, right?! I am going to share my new babies here with you.
Today I am starting with espadrilles.
The hype started with the Chanel espadrilles, I would say. But they are not really affordable. Anyway I really wanted to have a pair of espadrilles for the summer. First pair I found was at H&M online. Unfortunately, I didn't like how they were looking at me feet and they weren't really comfortable. Then I found a pretty pair at Topshop and ordered them immediately.
They are really comfortable and feel good on my feet. Maybe it is because they are made of real leather. The quality is pretty good as well and I love the look of them. This is the closest I can get to the Chanel espadrilles I think :D They are pretty versatile and look good with jeans same as with long or short dresses / skirts. I am pretty happy that I finally found my pair of espadrilles.
Here is what I read in the second quarter of the year. I really need to take myself more time to read. I still have so many books to read at home and I am still buying more... :)
Chanel Francois Baudot
When you can't effort a Chanel bag you can at least buy Chanel books, right?! :) And they look so good in your bookshelf or on your coffee-table ;)
Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl
I do like the story! But I have to agree with some of the reviews I read about the book that it is quite lengthy.
Gillian Flynn: Cry Baby / Sharp Objects (engl.)
Before I have read Gone Girl I read Sharp Objects which was a fabulous book, and very thrilling. I finished it in one day. I would recommend this book more than Gone Girl to be honest.
Maike Grunwald, Anja Hölper: Vom Glück mit Katzen zu wohnen
Beautiful pics of beautiful cats who are living with their "parents" in beautiful flats or houses. Very inspirational, especially for cat lovers and crazy cat ladies like me.
Joanne K. Rowling: Harry Potter 2 and the Chamber of Secrets
I just recently decided to read the Harry Potter books. End of last year I read the first book. Now I finished the second one and I have the third one already on my kindle. I love the books :)
P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast: House of Night - Marked
Another fantasy, teenage book about vampires. House of Night is a school in which teenagers undergo the Change to become an adult vampire. The book is pretty easy to read, the story is not the newest but good though. I ordered this book together with the second part. But there are books I want to read before I start the second part.
