Things that make us happy

Hey guys, how have you been? I am back with post from Sarah aka woodgreen106 on Youtube.

She is a good friend of mine from Germany and does youtube videos about and around make up/hair tips, product tips and more. I love that she gives her videos a down to earth, personal touch.

Check her out.

Here her latest clip as a teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxw9WuI6z8Y

Sarah: "I love going for coffee with my best friends, my boyfriend and get even more happy if I have a cup of chocolate cappuccino in my favorite cup".

Yummmmmy 

Sarah: "I am also super happy when I spend time with my three wonderful god sons. And of course not to forget being a 'Youtuber' since 3 years by now."

Sarah: "But there is more that makes me happy, my little hairy brother named BUDDY. He is a Tibetan Terrier and has gorgeous brown eyes. I can never be mad at him, even if he misbehaves or does other funny goofy stuff, When I look into his cute brown eyes everything is forgotten."

Buddy and Me

Sarah also has a passion for nail polish. "No way, would have never guessed Sarah, especially after seeing your collection myself, lol. I even think that's not all she has collected over the years."

Sarah: "I collect nail varnish since 5-6 years I guess. I know, crazy, ... a girl who loves nail polish :-).

I call around 250 different varnishes my own and my boyfriend hates it, but I couldn't care less, sorry hon ;-).

My favorite brands are Opi, China Glaze, Catrice, essie, Chanel and essence. I actually have to store them in wheely containers, because they got to heavy to move around over the years. But since I polish my nails every day I think it's just handy to have a good variety."

"Thanks Sarah"

Love,

Things that make us happy

Hi guys, I so enjoy blogging about your posts regarding 'Things that make us happy'

Love receiving YOUR posts and photographs.

Of course I will continue blogging about second hand shopping and other topics around fashion, so 

bear with, bear with. 

Today I feature Viktoria from Austria. She send me a couple of photos her favorite pieces.

" I love sunglasses, they go with anything, elegant or casual. They make me feel like a superstar. Usually I wear my Ray Ban but this particular one is from Dunne Stores in Dublin."

"Also can't live without my Converse. They are my everyday shoes, because they are comfy and also go almost with anything. Converse for the casual girl look."

"Thanks Viktoria"

Love,

Things that make us happy  

Hi guys as promised I will feature in today's blog a well established designer from Belfast.

I am proud to present a little blog about

Obviously Dave loves designing and that's THE thing that makes him happy.

He studied printed textile and fashion design at the University of Ulster, Belfast from 2007-2011.

Dave is one of Belfast's few male designer and also acts as manager and fashion designer at Unify.

                                                             

Displaying his collection at the Belfast Fashion Week 2010-2012 to the NI fashion scene definitely left an impression.
His collections also where on the cover of Northern Ireland's 'Wedding Bell'.

























Hi work was initially inspired by medieval Armour and the pattern of the embellishments.

This concept was further developed into design and fabric manipulation by drawing inspiration from the 'Brothers Grimm' Fairy tales to form and create his final collection.

"Totally up my alley too"
I love Steam-Punk and 50's/60's inspired designs.

Other influences are designer like Alexander McQueen and Issey Miyake.
They inspired Dave to create fabrics and designs that would be combined to create a collection of innovative and extraordinary conceptual pieces.

Dave recently had go on men's wear, which proved a big hit with lovers of alternative fashion.

David's collection is a must see for any fashion or textile enthusiast and promises not to disappoint.

I am sure there is much much more to look forward too from this promising and original designer.

"Thanks very much Dave for your colaboration and the photo material. All the best for your designer future. Can't wait to see more of your designs."

Hope I made you All curious about Dave Henderson, if you didn't know him already.

I definitely enjoyed blogging about him and can't wait to   

get my hands on some of his pieces.

Love,

      Carsten
