I visited an old college friend (okay, not so old but I love being able to use that phrase) up north a little while ago. Sadly, she came down with a bad cold while I was visiting, but it meant just spending much of our time indoors under a pile of blankets watching movies…which in my world is never a bad thing. One of the films we watched was Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (it’s rather an obvious favorite of mine, no?). In honor of the lovely Amelie, I thought I’d share some things that make me smile and others that make me scowl.
I dislike:
-people who push you with their carts at the grocery store
-bare feet on cold tile
-stereotypes & boxes
I like:
-people who talk passionately with their hands
-running the backs of my fingernails across fabric
-the way the world looks through rosy sunglasses
What are a few of your favorite and least favorite things?

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.

I like:
That first time in spring when I can drive with my hand out my open window in the wind
I recently watched that movie again, and loved it even more the second time around.
ReplyDeleteI like the click of my camera shutter, when my cat curls into a really tight ball against me in bed, being barefoot in the rain.
I dislike the sound of clinking silverware and people eating but not talking, jumpy elevators, and being barefoot on a dirty floor.
That dress is so cute! And the detailing on the tights is fantastic. :D
ReplyDeleteYou, Hello Valentine and Style Scrapbook are three of my favorite things on the internet right now. You, personally, have been for about 2 years.

I love how specific your likes and dislikes are. :) For me, it could only come from someone who has a deep sense of self. You know what you want...no questions about it.
ReplyDeleteUnlike me...often times...when asked what my favorite song for instance...my mind goes blank. :( so there was a time when I always bring a notebook with me...every time I discover a new like or dislike...I write them down immediately. :D
love the tights! Cool!
ReplyDeleteNice dress and tights;)
ReplyDeleteI love this film too;)
I love all your asos dresses, but this is probably my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI like, chocolate, cats and shopping alone.
I dislike getting a cold, my hair when it gets shapeless and people smoking next to me.
That film is also one of my faves!

I love that film too :) Your flats are really cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit
ReplyDeleteBare feet on cold tiles is one of the worst things ever!
I LOVE the dress, its colour is beautiful! And oooh the tights, so quirky, funny and cute!
ReplyDeleteBtw I'm also a big fan of Amelie :)
Hm some favourite things are: vanilla milkshakes, sunsets, puppies, acoustic guitars (although I can't play them haha), cozy bedlinen, blank sheets of paper...
Dislikes: heat, insects, linguistics at uni, condescending people...
Oh and I totally agree with your love for people who talk passionately with their hands :)
That must be the best title ever! Either that; or it's the fever speaking ^^,
ReplyDeleteMy very favorite thing is the first sign of spring. You know; when you wake up in the morning, earlier than usual, go outside and take a sniff of freshly cut grass, while it's still so moist you almost have to wipe your eyelids just to get a peek of the sun-rays climbing over your neighbors house. That's true happiness.
I dislike authorities, bullies and cold coffee. Not very poetic, but very true.
r..this is beautiful i love that gazebo..is that what's its called..anyway not cold in the snow? i'm jealous i miss snow!!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite things are red hair, vintage clothing, fingerless gloves, writing, laughing, and my boyfriend. Some of my least favorite things are suffering, losing friends, when someone uses a broom on cement, and when my black cat pokes me in the face while sleeping.
ReplyDeleteMy Heart Blogged

ReplyDeleteI love so many things I don't even know where to begin. My list of dislikes is much shorter, but I"m with you on pushy people with shopping carts (also, the oversized shopping carts meant to look like giant toys filled with 2-3 kids).
I have no idea....

*suddenly remembering that one thing you forgot to do after making other, more exciting plans.
*realizing after you left the house that your outfit will just not work.

I like..that feeling you get after finishing a great book, getting too-ridiculous-for-words dreams and remembering every detail when I wake up, and watching DVDs with my boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteI dislike..people who can't understand the concept of standing in queue, cigarette smoke, and the fact that my little sister lives thousands of miles away from me.
Your tights are just so adorable Rebecca. And I love staying in, too. (:
I hope you two had photobooth shots taken in honour of amelie and the occasion!
ReplyDeleteI dislike people who stop walking abruptly in front of you. Or when the wind blows garbage on your legs.
I like when word verifications are weird phrases that sound like they could be goth band names.
