I don't seem to be able to stop wearing winter clothes! How about you? Are you wearing flip flops or being sensible (I swear I've seen people wearing flip flops in 12ºC)? I have refused to wear this coat anymore until at least October (I was gonna say November but then I realized I was being too possitive)! Will summer ever arrive? I am forgetting how it feels not to be cold...

Btw, I am planning to paint that boring mirror frame in the deep burgundy Brinjal from Farrow & Ball-just saying so you still believe in my skills as a designer :P 

I will let you know how it turns out! ha, it could be very messy...

New photo album

I got this lovely album from James' mum who was finding no use for it. I think it's probably one of the prettiest ones I have seen and it's perfect to fit the photographs I took of the English countryside and Paris with my Olympus Trip 35.
She was also very sweet and got me those two little cacti! They are likely to be the only plants I won't kill (I am terribly bad at taking care of indoor plants)!

 

Dressing for 2ºC

 I actually had fun doing this

This year it's been a challenge (and still is as we are going back to snow weather..) to dress for real winter temperatures and with that I mean temperatures around 0ºC. My Spanish self is not used to this cold and I actually have developed some not very nice chilblains in my fingers.
Still I do my best to fight it and this is the outfit I've been wearing most these past few weeks. As you can see I combine every single warm item in my wardrobe! Christmas jumper included and underneath I also wear 1 or 2 layers more (onion style). I wear fur lined gloves, cords, my Russian Hat, my Bear Coat (massive sheepskin leather coat from my mum in the 90s) and a very thick long scarf that I wrap around my neck as many times as possible! Of course, I wear long ridding boots as well and thermal socks.
Despite the weather in this country it still amazes me how many British girls and boys don't seem to feel the cold and actually carry the coat on their arms (as if they were too hot to put it on!) or don't carry one at all! I seriously wonder what they are thinking...I swear I have even seen people in t-shirts, girls in skirts without tights and lots of women wearing ballerinas!
