I love reading. Also did so as a little girl. 
So my dream job would be finally writing that book

A lot of black and blue, with a touch of pink, always a touch of pink !

Difficult to choose, love them all !

I'd pick Sir Paul. Mostly because of his gorgeous wife Linda 
who took the most wonderful pictures ever AND his daughter Stella, who designs the most wonderful clothes ever !!

What are you most proud of ? 

My two little girls. 

They are the best thing I ever did, they are the best thing I'll ever have. 

They beat everything : sadness, a bad day at work ..

One smile and I'm back on track. Looking at them I only see life and life's opportunities.

Tagging game

What's your current obsession?

I have 2 cats but I'm a dog person too. I would love to have a Cavalier King Charles ; they are the cutest dogs ever. 

What is your horoscope and do you relate?

I'm a Pisces actually, March 20th, last day and the end of the Zodiac line. A friend of mine told me Aries are te most difficult people of all cause they are the first sign of the Zodiac. All other sign that follow Aries learn and have more experience so it seems. Pisces are the last sign and we are able to use our 5 senses to the fullest. I guess that is right. All of my senses work overtime...

A black chiffon Isabel Marant dress and black & white espadrilles from Mint & Rose.

a Winter coat and sweater for my son.

The 1930-ies are really beautiful ; love the waved hairdo's ; I read The Great Gatsby book on holiday ; I'm obsessed. Can't wait to watch that movie right now. 

What are your must haves for Fall ?

I'd like to be prepared and buy some 60 denier panty hoses for Fall and Winter ; a pair of loafers would be great too. Still can't decide if I would buy the Kenzo ones or the zebra striped RAS'

What would you be able to afford ?

I've seen some awesome yachts when I was in Mykonos ; but this will be a dream until I win Euromillions or something :-) 

More realistic, I really like to visit Denmark and Sweden .. this is something on my bucket list ! 

What's your favourite piece of clothing from your wardrobe?

I'm addicted to scarfs ! The one I love most is my Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf. I've waited so long before I got it, it was just too expensive. But then I went to Paris and hubby got me this one as a present. It's totally worn out now and full of holes and threads but I still love it anyway !! 

What's your dream job?

Doing something that feels like a hobby and does not feel like a drag.

It used to be LIVING but unfortunately, it does not run anymore. I still got all LIVING mags from day 1 till the last issue from 2009.
