Splash of colour






 dress & necklace Mango, book Homespun Style by Selina lake, cardigan Pure

It's been a while since I did a fashion post. Well fashion.....more a post on clothes I love to wear. Now that fine spring weather is on our doorstep (positive thinking, they say it helps :-), it was time to go through my summer wardrobe. I thought I'd combine a few old and new things and show you. Normally I wear a lot of black and pastels, but I started wearing more bright colours recently. And you know....I quite like it!

Meanwhile the preparations for my tea party tomorrow, are in full swing. Unfortunately not in the garden, but at home. Que sera sera. I have already prepared some Petit Mont Blancs, brownies and scones. The carrot cake is in the oven right now. I will try to take some photo's so that I can show you.

Wish you all a Happy Weekend!

Love, Madelief x"

  1. Dear Madelief,

    I left you a comment on the previous post singing the praises of your colour schemes, your style, the books which are calling out to me underneath your coffee table - I would be more than happy with a post dedicated to them alone as I cannot see their titles clearly - and your ability to make several tea party cakes as well as writing an entertaining post.

    It was so enjoyable I decided to write another comment! ;-)

  2. Hello
    I think you wrote about your up coming tea (that must have been yesterday). You were going to have it inside instead of the garden because of the poor weather. I hope you had fun. It sounded as though your guests were in for some lovely homemade treats!
    I so enjoy your blog!! It is fun to compare what is coming up in your garden and what is coming up in mine here in Victoria British Columbia Canada
    Hope you have a great day!

  9. Een post zonder reacties staat ook zo kaal, dus ik gooi er gewoon nog één uit mijn hoed :)! Ik weet nog wel dat ik je zei dat het jurkje mij héél bekend voorkwam en dat je dat prachtig gecombineerd hebt met het vestje!

    Men zegt dat er betere dagen komen wat het weer betreft. Ik hoop het zo want dit weekend willen we het schilderwerk in de tuin af gaan maken, met het natte weer van de afgelopen tijd kwam daar telkens niets van. Natuurlijk hopen we ook lekker van de zon te kunnen genieten...ik hoop jij ook, in je mooie tuin!

    Ik wens je een fijne dag Madelief! Veel liefs van mij...

  11. Hello Madelief:
    How really trying it is when technology goes awry and this kind of thing happens. Whatever, it has given us a chance to look again - a further pleasure!

  20. Dear Madelief,

    Beautiful photos, of you in your gorgeous outfit, love the colours and you look fabulous.
    Also how pretty the teacup is and wonder if it is by Hutschenreuther? the shape looks like it might be, I have a dinnerset with the magnolia pattern.

    Hope that you are enjoying the week
    Hugs
    Carolyn
