Daily Outfit: Lynx.

Holy moley! A long time since my last outfit shot. Soz!





I love these colours together but not sure anybody else does!

Wednesday Wrap-up

It's still Wednesday, right? Not really Sequin Cat. I need to get with the times!


Excellentness: Spontaneous weekend at the beachhouse - discovery of a microbrewery, beers on the balcony overlooking the sea, playing many rounds of Wii, reading in bed, starting a puzzle on the kitchen table, local produce, sunset walk along the beach, stocking up a wood fire.




Also: The rest of manfriend's birthday gifts arriving from the US and me winning awesome girlfriend awards, cocktails and tapas with a girlfriend, my cousin's 20th birthday, making time to read, spending time with mom, British Vogue.

Less excellent: Having my first car accident (nothing major but (quite) a bit of $ to pay), my cousins' dog being put to sleep, saying goodbye to childhood relics (but a bit fun too - nostalgia!)




Any news to report your side of the world?

Keep or Return?

I go shopping so rarely that I seriously question each and every purchase.

Bought due to the need for a chilly-afternoon-cover-up. I kind of like it?

Love this bag for work but it won't fit my laptop.

Guidance?

Happy 900th Post, Sequin Cat!

Quadruple digits are ticking ever closer!


I've had this blog for over two years now. It's been with me through university, life in France, travels to London, New York and Berlin and now with full-time work.


This time round I decided to celebrate the achievement with a little weekend away.

Thank you all for your continued support, and here's to many, many more fun posts!

Some more cat love

Just in case you missed what's been my thang lately...

Daily Outfit: Salty Sunday

Woke up way too early for all-day band rehearsal and wasn't too happy about it. Thankfully, Pocky saved the day.

Daily Outfit: Apricot Lace

I found this sweet bed jacket on a tree outside manfriend's house. It'd been there for a few days so I figured nobody was coming back to collect it. I like it with stripes - do you?

Daily Outfit: A la française

Beautiful sunshine last week before the blue mood set in.






I love the new lipstick I bought last week! It's a tomato red like my usual, and cheap too: Australis. Pity about the lipsticky taste... you know what I mean?

Wednesday Wrap-up

Bonjour à tous!


It's far too easy when the weather turns grey to start feeling a bit down. Clouds and showers this week have zapped a bit of my natural energy and forced me to make a conscious effort to smile. I'm hoping the ennui is temporary!

What's some good stuff? Lovely Saturday sleep-in and afternoon at the pub to celebrate manfriend's birthday. We sampled lots of interesting beers and had good times with friends. Dinner after was most delicious too but it was a cold ride home that evening (and my bike had been tampered with when it was locked up in the city - sad face).

I really, really appreciated a Friday night in. Just me, pajama pants, catso, DS and DVDs.... very unlike Sequin Cat! Made up for it on Sunday with an all day band rehearsal. Nationals are coming up and I'm very, very nervous.


My glorious sister swanned into town late Sunday night and will be leaving us tomorrow. I'm really enjoying relaxing in her company and the easy conversation that only family can provide. What a pity that I have to work every day! I've been trying to finish up at school early and get home promptly but teaching is a busy job and there's always more I could/should be doing.


Sometimes you just need to let go.

Cat love

I'm starting (starting?) to make you think I'm a crazy cat lady, right?

Too cute.
