turquoise

Lately I have been attracted by the blue and turquoise hues. They pop up everywhere -sometimes in very small amounts, sometimes in unexpected places-  waiting to be caught by my camera.

This post is not about wall paintings, it's all about lip colours! Actually about my favourite one, the one which  always fits and which never fails to lift up my spirits. It's Ruby Woo by Mac.

I started thinking about mat lipsticks when I watched  "Easy Virtue" some years ago. Jessica Biel looked super amazing in all those Twenties' style mat lipsticks. I loved them all, the berries, the brownish and especially the bright reds...

Easter weekend and time for the next series of @fatmumslims challenge photos

3.mail

My mailbox, which on my flickr site has had the honour to be invited to www.rustymailbox.blogspot.com.
Thank you, rustymailbox guy, but again: this mailbox is NOT rusty! It's just painted in a rusty shade of brown. Any suggestions for a more attractive colour?

For me it's the tiniest High Heel ever - a small piece of sliced cabbage fallen down to the floor

Delicious Pappa di Pomodoro lunch, which I had together with my daughter in a small  Florentine restaurant. Vik, I'm comiiiing!!

#8 Menu in Pink, first try

I'm so sorry, I don't have a  Menu  for you today. No pink fried panther, no dessert, I even ruined Johan Odendaal's  extravagant beetroot paint.

• the pink herring salad I bought in the supermarket was fine
• the pink grapes and plums for dessert came out red in the photo
• the beetroot paint did not emulsify  (I realized too late that I should have added the olive oil in a thin stream while running the blender...)
• the beetroot purée I obtained instead had a burgundy colour
• the burgundy painted potatoes turned orange  
• eventually the whole arrangement looked neither artistic nor appetizing 
• the pomegranate flavoured drink couldn't save it
• too much creativity!

Cheers!
