a song, a book, a quote, a look - # 3

It's been a while since I've done of these, November to be exact. 
So let's get to business with my May picks, shall we?

s,b,q,l


song - I just love this Ben Howard song, it reminds me of long summer days and freedom.

book - I know, I'm a bit late to the game with this book, but it's so good. 
On the plane one of the movies available to watch was 'The Book Thief', 
but I never watch a movie before I read the book, it feels like cheating to me. 
So when I saw a copy of the book on the shelf at my friends house I stole it 
( just kidding, I borrowed it, I'm not a book thief) 
and it's been one of the best reads I've had in a long time.

quote - This quote is from another book I had been wanting to read for a long time 
and recently I finally had the chance too.
 'A year of biblical womanhood' is one of those books that is really fun to read 
but also makes you think and rethink things you thought you knew. 

look - A little background as to why I picked this look. 
As you know I recently visited my sister in Canada, but we also visited my best friend, Lydia. 
I would definitely say that Lydia and I are soul mates or at least 'twin-sisters from another mother'. 
It's almost scary how similar our lives are, from our decorating style to our similar husbands, 
and from the shows we watch to our fashion picks. 
One morning when we were visiting at her house we both came downstairs wearing the exact same outfit: jeans, a blue striped shirt and a leather jacket, with flats. 
We weren't even surprised, it's happened before. 
So when I came back from Canada and resumed to normal life, 
including browsing Pinterest once in a while, 
and came across this outfit, I knew had to pin it. 
I just really love this look, and the story behind why I pinned it.

Love, Maria

a song, a book, a quote, a look

About a month ago I did one of these posts for the first time, inspired by this lady
and today I'm at it again.

Song (or rather, new (to me) group) : 

This awesome band from Iceland: Ásgeir
My favorite song of theirs (so far, it's all good). 
I don't know what it is with these Scandinavian bands, but I just love their sound.

Book: 

Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho. 
I love each and every one of his books and this one is just as eye opening and intriguing as any of them. 
It is about a prostitute and contains some graphic parts, but actually it's a beautiful book about love.

// 

Quote:
From previously mentioned book.

Look: 

It's getting cold here! So I've been pinning all kinds of cozy, including this look. 
Warm socks, tights and booties.

Happy Weekend!

Love, Maria

song, book (show), quote, look

update: yesterdays post is featured on WhatToExpect.com, click here to see it.

I'm trying out something new today, I saw it on Anna's blog and I loved the idea. 
The idea is to share a song, a book, a quote and a look - SBQL.

image sources: song, show, quote, look
As you can see I changed it a bit since I haven't read any books lately, which I find kind of depressing because I love reading and have a whole list of books I want to read, 
but I definitely have some favorite shows to share.

So my version is a bit less classy :)

song // anything by Eva Cassidy is perfect, but lately I've had this song in my head.

show // I'm so glad Downton Abbey started up again, it's the best show to watch curled up on the couch with a blanket and hot cup of tea.
quote // this photo+quote (photo by Anna) have been shared quite a bit in the blogosphere and on Pinterest, but I love it and I'm loving this October!
look // I love everything about this look I found on Pinterest, maybe because of the fact that I own very similar pieces and can recreate it easily

Have a great weekend!

Love, Maria
