AAAAND THE WINNER IS...

Or, actually, in this case: the winners are!
As you were all so sweet I decided to put up two prices in my Best of 2011-competition.
Winners chosen via random.org.

First,

Miss Tallulah Porkchop will win a pair of cute robin themed earrings (made by Frollein von Sofa). (Her favorite post was a photo post with petticoats and shoes. And Eddi.)

Second,

 Fairy Filigree will get a Chinese jade bangle! (She liked the"Eternal Roll"-hair tutorial the best.)

You will both receive emails from me soon.

Thank you, over and out.

FOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW: EASY SUNDAY

I've been feeling rather fatigued and am on sickleave for a couple of days.

Spent most of this Sunday sleeping.

Got up and played a little piano.

 Organized some more of my mother's old mommy dresses she gave me.

Baked a coconut chocolate cake (which turned out better than it should have, I wanted it to be a bit raw and soggy but it got this proper consistence instead).



And listened to some Soft Sunday - music.

And not it's time to sleep a little more!

MOVIE MAKING

Yesterday I was filming a short movie.



It was shot in an old movie theatre.


And also in this one here!



On film, not digital.


The day was not totally without misfortunes,  first, my co-actor had, umm... disappeared and a replacement had to be found real quick. And the the "old lady" (as the car was called) did not really like the very cold weather and decided to stop by the road every once in a while.



The sound man in the snowstorm. Dressed for the weather. I was dressed for the film and had to be outside a lot too, which was less nice... (Although the jacket I wore was very nice - nice and thin... I had SO much on underneath!)



Me in the theatre. (Btw I never really got the thing when make up artists decide to only dot a little mascara on the upper lashes and leave the lower ones bare. It happens a lot. Although they probably know more about what they're doing than I. But I feel very naked without lashes made BIG. )

MOM'S BLUE MOMMY DRESS

I got some of my mother's old maternity dresses from when she was carrying me and my younger sister. (The dress from the time when she expecting my youngest sister I remember myself and it screamed the later eighties so it had to stay in the card board box. Although perhaps the "trendiest" of the bunch.)

This dress is great as I can (still) fit a lot under it, now that it's colder. It's a bit more roome that I would need for the moment, but it doesn't matter: it is SO comfy. And actually could be worn as a non-maternity dress too. You know, as a contrast to hourglass shape or so.

 I wore it belted at first but it looks better falling straight down.

Dressing -and with it, making outfits and even posts- is otherwise a lot funnier now than in a long time. Because there's a challenge to it as I have to do it differently. (Haha, come again in May or so and see how eager I am then...)

The shirt is Vivien of Holloway and the shoes Minna Parikka.
