Outfit 1



I would wear this lovely outfit for an evenig with friends: Diana and Paula. A paperbag mini skirt (€589) from Fendi which suits very well with this fantastic Stella McCartney’s sheer silk ruffle blouse (€675). The main piece of this look is the Moschino’s black crepe pearl-embellished jacket (€1,583).

I’m also in love with the fantastic bird Cage Jennifer quitted bag (€1,065) from Marc Jacobs, this patent leather shoulder bag drives me crazy!

This Marni’s maroon suede buckle breath-taking sandals (€404,69) are perfect for a different spring evening. The final touch? The disappeared arty oval ring (€120) from YSL, I unfortunately couldn’t find one for myself, it’s out of stock!

To sum up, I would like to congratulate the French alternative band Phoenix for the Grammy they won last week! Music is life, an outfit without music is not an outfit!

Yoda, the cat with four ears


Yoda is a cat with an extra set of ears. His owners found him in Chicago, Illinois, two years ago. The extra ears do not detect sound; they are only flaps of skin. The cat was named after the character in "Star Wars" series.

Athough four-eared, he lives a normal life.

He has become so popular that he has recently been invited to "Tyra Banks Show" and "Good morning America" in the USA.

The travelling gnome


This is a story about a gnome that was kidnapped from the Heard´s garden.
The curious thing was that the thief used to send postcards of the gnome to them.
After 13 years the gnome is back to Heard´s garden, with an apologize note for the owners, who are glad and pleased for having it again.

bizarre-but-true weird news


STRANGE DOG

Dogs are famous for enjoying the simple things in life - notably chasing cats and eating meat. But that's not the case for unfortunate Joey, a dog who is allergic to cats, meat, and pretty much everything else except potatoes and porridge.

Joey is a Collie, who gets a rash if he eats meat or chases a cat. His allergy is also brought out by activities as diverse as running through grass or jumping into water.
Now his owners, Lisa McCormack and Scott Muirhead, feed him a diet of nothing but potatoes and porridge - as they're the only things the've found he isn't allergic to.
