Pretty pretty pastel!

Today I started the day with lunching at an Italian restaurant with my guy. A well scimmed café crème and a warm soft moelleux au chocolat ended the meal perfectly.

It was freezing outside today, and I realized that I had not put enough clothes on. Despite this fact I decided to go for a walk, since the sun was shining and I was allready outside, and of course I needed make something out of my day off! I was thinking of buying myself a new pen and maybe some ingredients for muffins.

But as I walked (and my goal was Sacré-Coeur, I went by the area with all the sewing/fabric-shops. And my walk and shopping plans turned another, most pleasant direction.

I completely fell in LOVE with this fabric. Isn't it beautiful? Would be cool as a wallpaper as well. Let's take a closer look at these lovely birdies...

I also bought a quartet of pretty pastel, which I think look so cute and summery together. The prices were good as always, 10 euros for 3 meters, I must say it's a catch!

Plaid and spotted, higgledy-piggledy. ;)

I'll show you a photo with the flash on as well so you get a good feeling for the colours:

I bought some pretty ribbons as well. I was thinking I'm gonna wear them in my hair. Or maybe attach one of them on a hairclip... 

You see, I bought a hairclip like this:

To be decorated!

These ice-cream-buttons were too cute to walk out on. Imagine them in the summer on a white blouse, with a plaided skirt or a pair of shorts. It will be fun and get you in the right summer-holiday-spirit!

I was thinking that these spotted buttons would be perfect to decorate a pillowcase I have not yet made. Because the fabric that I am going to use is the same as I used for our bed-curtain.

These purple glittering and sparkling buttons seemed like they could match my purple jacket pretty well, so I decided I'd change my regular plastic buttons for these more glamorous ones! ;)

I thought my jacket had 3 roads of buttons, which was incorrect, it only has two. So you'd think I have one too many beautiful buttons now, but actually I am missing one, since the jacket is double-buttoned I realized when I had changed the buttons that it would look better if I change ALL of them and not leave one side with the old plastic buttons. So my solution will be to go and by one more button like this tomorrow maybe or any day soon, so that I can get the makeover done properly. But I will show the outcome now anyways.

Regular purple jacket from H&M that I've used a lot. I think I bought it on sale even.

Let's switch 'em!

It's such an easy way to change a garment! I'm totally inspired to buy beautiful buttons and put them on a regular shirt or blouse from a low cost brand.

I hope you got inspired, and if you sure did, here are the two shops where I did my shopping today:

Bisou and good night!
