French Curves: Jaune vs Orange – (Mustard) Yellow

Cet octobre le thème du French Curves c’est jaune versus orange. C’est sont les couleurs du soleil et de l’automne. Les couleurs des feuilles moururent. Du grand finale de la nature dans notre climat.
This October the theme of the French curves is yellow vs orange. They are the colours of the sun as well as quintessential autumn colors. The colours of the dieing leaves. Of nature’s grand finale in our climate.



Moi j’aime bien l’orange. Comme ici avec mon look minimalisme où l’année dernière avec une tenue chasseuse urbaine. Plus traditionnelle avec les fleurs où plus excentrique avec les flamands.
I really like orange. Such a striking colour. Here with a minimalism look or last year with an outfit for an urban huntress. More traditional with florals or a bit eccentric with jolly flamingos.

Mais le jaune c’est la grande amour. Le jaune pastel, la couleur du miel entre jaune et orange et le jaune moutarde. Les deux tenues vont bien avec mes objets de la famille.
But yellow is true love. From pastel to a honey the with a hint of orange to a deep mustard yellow. The two looks go very well with some heirlooms from my grandmothers.

Et voilà la fièvre parraine d’un bébé garçon. Dans un salle instagramable (et un bon exposition) j’ai pris des photos du bébé et oublie les celles de moi. C’est-ci est grâce à un ami.
And the there is the pic of the baby boy godchild. In a perfectly instagramable room (and a very good exhibiton) I took happy baby pics and somewhat forgot my own. This snapshot is made by a good friend.

On the Go: Sushi Kitten Bag meets Sakura Dress

My new handbag meets one of my favourite dresses – and the Anna Scholz dress has been around on this blog a few times. This time the Cheongsam-style dress is paired up with an orange/ coral boden cropped cardigan. Spring is close by – as you can see with the pale blush scarf and beret.


The cheongsam was considered in the 1930s a dress of empowerment for women, fo rmore freedom. I love the modern, stretchy material and the very pretty pattern. And it goes so well with the colours of the Vendula handbag.


Sadie from SadiesFab50Style introduced me to that label – of which she has a fine collection. I just hit it off with the sushi bag. And I looooooove sushi. And I love the details. The little fish in the bin. The marquee with the different kinds of delectable fish rolls. The happy cats.

sushi to go to write this blogpost…
 

Matching the cats on the bag are the kitty heels and the brooch on the cardi.

Ü30-Blogger + Friends: Erbstücke – Heirlooms


I feel in love with this motto for the blog parade months ago. Heirlooms. Or more prosaic hand-downs. I have a few things from both of my grandmothers. From my mum’s mum some pieces of jewellry and scarves and from my other grandmother two handbags.
Ich habe mich vor einigen Monaten in das Thema dieser Blogparade verliebt: Ebstücke (oder Erinnerungsstücke). Ich habe ein paar Andenken von meinen beiden Grossmüttern. Von der Oma mütterlicherseits etwas Schmuck und ein paar Tücher und zwei Handtaschen von der anderen Oma.

Fun fact: I am standing on front of pictures of industrial heritage. How apropriate.
Fun Fakt: Ich stehe vor Fotos zur Industriekultur des Ruhrgebiets. Finde das passt.

I love the paisley 50s brooch and an opaque amber one matching the necklace in colour. It is the amber I most associate with my maternal gran. The amber also reminds me of the holidays my Mum spent as a child with her parennts on Borkum in the North Sea.
Ich liebe die Paisley-Brosche und eine Brosche, die zur Halskette passt. Der Bernstein erinnert mich immer an die Urlaube als meine Ma noch ein Kind war. Da hing es mit den Eltern immer in die Sommerfrische nach Borkum.

The crocodile handbag is from my other grandmother. My dad’s mum. It is from the 1960s. I also have a few fob or pocket watches that I showed in May in „One of the Boys“.
Die Kroko-Handtasche ist von meiner anderen Grossmutter. Der Mutter meines Vaters. Die Tasche ist aus den 1960gern. Ich habe auch noch ein paar Taschenuhren – die habe ich im Mai gezeigt bei „one of the boys“.


My two grandmothers where very different. The best thing I inherited f is a keen sense of survival and practicality.
Meine beiden Grossmütter waren sehr verschieden. Mit das Beste, dass ich geerbt habe ist ein ausgeprägter Überlebenswille und eine praktische Veranlagung.
