Little Red Riding Hood


Hey everyone!

You might recognise the picture above since it is my new banner. I have changed the look of my blog a little bit and I'm really happy with the result. I have made these pictures last sunday. It was a beautiful autumn day, probably the last weekend with all the coloured leaves on the trees. I expect the trees to be empty next weekend so I had to make some pictures of the nature reserve that's close to my house. 










Also I have continued watching Once Upon A Time and started to love Little Red Riding Hood. I adore her character, both in Storybrooke and in the enchanted forest. She's smart, beautiful and funny. You can read here what I've written about the series before.

I will not give away any of the plot lines of Ruby, except that she is awesomely badass (if I might use that word). 

Here some screen caps to make you excited for the series:




These images are from this website
I have a red cape (which I wear in the first picture) and I felt like Red Riding Hood walking through the woods like that. 

I love autumn. *sigh*


Oh hello there kitty! This little man is called Frans. He's actually not ours, but he's been eating our cat food for over a year now, so we are like his foster family. He's such a sweet fellow!

I hope you enjoyed these typical Dutch views,

Love,
Mia

Style inspiration: Ginnifer Goodwin


Hey guys!

A few days ago I started watching the series Once Upon A Time. I love the classic fairy tales like Snow White and Cinderella. I love princesses and dresses and crowns and chivalrous princes. So I thought I'd give it a shot.

The story is basically about all the fairy tale characters who were cursed by the Evil Queen, Snow White's stepmother. This curse stole away all the happy endings as a revenge on Snow White. Now all the characters are stuck in the real world in a town called StoryBrooke, where time stands still. No one remembers who they were in fairy tale land.

One of these characters is, as you might have guessed, Snow White. Gennifer Goodwin plays her and her real life 'twin' Mary Margaret Blanchard. As a kind and honest school teacher she is just like you'd imagine Snow White; a sweet, delicate and pale girl with dark hair. The way she dresses is perfectly balanced with this image we have of Snow White.

First of all her hair. It's perfect. It's dark, thick and beautiful like Snow White's, but it is short and modern to represent a Snow White-like girl in our reality.





In the show Mary Margaret wears the most beautiful clothes. Every time she appears on screen I want to just point and yell 'I WANT THOSE SHOES' or 'THAT SHIRT IS SO AMAZING'.














All the screen caps are from season 1, hopefully without any major spoilers and from The Ginnifer Goodwin fan site. I couldn't add too many pictures, because I didn't want to spoil anything for you, in case you want to watch it. I hope you do, though, it's filled with imagination and beautiful sceneries.

Love,
Mia
