Organizing challenge

1/26/2013

It's been a strange week this one, with many things in my mind and just now I realized I haven't been writing to you for more than a week! I have to be more organized, I know, but I feel so confused lately. The more I try to organize mysellf, the more disorganized I get! Actually, I'm getting lost looking for the best organizing system in blogs and websites! Total chaos! So many inspiring and worthy efforts from so  many people, I don't know what to choose!
Although I can't follow the missions every single day, I try to do my best and found great help from the following organized home challenge. Just click on the image and see for yourself!

Goodmorning my dear friends! I have a strange feeling the last two days that spring is coming early this year. I can smell it in the air!! It maybe the very high temperatures, up to 15d of Celcius, after the very cold days...of course, you never now with the weather... and it's still January, after all! But it's nice to see the sun in the morning, isn'it?
I'm also very happy to announce you, I have some great magazines for you this week! "Lonny" is a favorite online decoration magazine and the wonderful January-February issue is full of fresh ideas and waiting for you to read it!
And during my... surfing routine, I discovered other two mags I'm sure you're going to love! "Ceci style" is a gorgeous lifestyle one and guess what... it's weekly, which means you can have your dose of glamour even more often! And finally the very sweet and very useful "Clos-ette" magazine with beautiful organizing ideas! Well, I have to organize myself now a little, so I have to leave you for a while...with some great company, however! Make a cup of coffee and enjoy your reading!

Hello! I hope you had a beautiful weekend and now you're ready to face the new week with strength and joy. It was a quite weekend for me, I relaxed and shared nice, family moments with my man, cleaned the house a little and redecorated the Christmas tree (I told you, I keep it one more week, every year).  Monday may brings us down every now and then, but try to be positive and find inpiration from whatever works best for you. The following board can really lift your spirits! Pin it somewhere you look at every morning and start your day with a smile on your face!

And, of course, there is nothing more uplifting than a beautiful outfit. Dress good, feel good! So simple!
Here are some very cute and very cozy sets from marvelous lady Kelly Ann found as Archimedes 16 on Polyvore. I always take her advice on urgent emergencies, she's an instant inpiration for me, I hope for you, too!

Goodmorning everybody! After many, many sunny days, rain came to our town, this morning. It's a cold, cloudy and misty day, I couldn't sleep much, so I woke up early enough for me..., made a wonderful cup of coffee, turned on the lights on my Christmas tree (yes, yes, it's still decorated..!! I always keep it one more week after holidays - childhood tradition!), watched the TV news.. and the rain from my window and then an SMS led me in front of my computer screen, where I proudly discovered a very beatiful and cozy decoration site named Opal Design Group, hosted by two talented ladies, Jana and Jen! I'm sharing their lovely job with you, wishing you a very nice weekend!

After reading the French girl's guide in matchbook the other day I let myself wandering in an imaginary trip to Paris  through amazing images...
I'm sharing these photos from my "voyage imaginaire à Paris" with you and I'll let you feel in love with the "City of Lights", just like I did...

Favorite magazines

Goodmorning everybody! I hope you all had a great holiday with the people you love and you are now ready to face the new year with joy, hope and new strengths. New year is an excellent oppurtunity for new beginnings and new chapters in your life and if that sounds unachievable you can always change the way you think! Isn't that the most important change of all? A different way of thinking will rises you to completely new pathways...So, be a little optimistic and don't forget to smile once in a while. I wish you all the best 2013 that can be!!
New beginnings of course doesn't mean you will change everything in your life (as if...!), but only the things you don't really like (...and can be changed)! You will definetely keep what you love,...say for ever!? Talking about "old loves", have I told you how much I adore magazines? I love them ever since I remember myself! It's a "fatal love"! First was paper only, now paper and digital, as well! I'm more than excited whenever a new issue slips into my hand or whenever I read one of my old favorite issues... you see I have a huuuge archive of them... it's rather difficult for me to be separated from old things. So, I'm happy to announce that January issue of "matchbook" is here with us fresh and ready to be readen!
