presents.

As I told you before, my wonderful friends sent me these wonderful earings for my birthday!
I adore them! It's from La Seda shop in Berlin.
Now I want to wear them everyday!
I'm curious - do you wear the same accesories everyday? Or do you change them with your outfits? Or maybe you have some basic accesories like a watch and a ring? Hm?
I always want to have some basic accesories in my outfit, which I could wear everyday, like a bracelet and a watch, but I usually end up with changing everything everyday.
Sometimes I find it very annoying, but sometimes I'm happy to try something new and find new combinations that I didn't think about before :).
So check out your jewelry box and get some bling bling for this grey weather outside!
xoxo,
Ak.

I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool. ~ Theodore I. Rubin.

Have you heard about this Heineken beer opener? At that moment, when you open your beer, a messagge appears on your facebook profile!
A new student project proposes just that with ‘The Invite’, a fun new concept idea for Heineken—a social media-connected bottle opener that invites your friends over for a beer every time you open up a bottle.  And if you get enough friends to come over, you win a whole case of Heineken for next weekend!
How cool is that, ha??
Moreover, a perfect present for a guy, haha :).
P. S. Have you seen this ad of Heineken? It is the 5th best commercial of 2010-11, it's very charming!
You can see all the winners here. The third one is my favourite!
Also, beer Rein Beer for Christmas is another lovely idea!

[...] my breath smells of a thousand fads.

There are only two days of September left, my lovelies, are you enjoying your last sunny autumn days? I'm very glad that in Nuremberg will be 20 °C (!!) when I arrive, so I'll have more warm days to enjoy.
And one warm autumn day like this, my best friends (I love them!!) gave me a birthday present way way too early (I've got about two months to go), because I'm leaving to Germany and they said to me that my present would be too heavy to send.. and here it is - THE NEW ROBBIE WILLIAMS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was soooooooooooooooo happy!!!! And I am still now!!!!

This picture was taken after I've got my present - strange, how the lights were caught. I'm telling you, it's my happiness dancing around :)))

The book takes us to a trip down memory lane as Robbie opens up his personal photo collection from the past 20 years. The book is chaptered into major milestones in his career and each photo is accompanied by behind-the-scenes insight from Robbie, and of course a generous sprinkling of hilarious anecdotes too. (over 250 photos!!) Here are some of these:

My problems from "what's it gonna be like to live in Nuremberg for 5 months?.." changed to "OMG, how to make my suitcase hold this book??". How easy, ha.
And then I understood: in my life I want to find as much things, which make me feel like that - so smitten, so heart-lifted, as I can. And the more different things I find, the more happy I'll be. And as for everyone:

Find something you’re interested in and keep tremendously interested in it. ~ Julia Child

P. S. the fifth photo must have a note: these pictures were taken when Robbie discovered Photo Booth on his computer. haha.
