Tartan Nails

Sandy's obsession of tartan is taken to new dimensions. Autumn is the season for tartan though it does not seem to be especially in this year but we do not care for trends.

Sandy: Now I think maybe I should have done the whole nail. I only painted the tips so it would not be too overwhelming. I tried to do plaid before but it turned out a mess so I wasn't sure how this would turn out but now I think it's close enough.

Wendy had a good nail day today. Like? If only we had yellow nail polish too it would have been perfect. Soon you'll see Sandy's tartan nails. Stay tuned.

Rosy earrings

Wendy: I bought a silk top, thick silk good as new, second hand for 3 euros.

On the same shopping trip I found a bag made from some sort of tar with food advertisement on it. On the inside there are even instructions for cooking rice. It's in a language I don't understand but there are pictures. Not that anyone needs instructions to cook rice. More useful as a laptop bag I say.

Food...?

Nah, there was only an Apple.

The pattern on the shirt

Sandy: My jeans ripped and after an appropriate morning period I figured it was time to get new ones. I found these bright green pants on sale. They match perfectly this old silk scarf handed down to me that might be as old as from the 60's or 70's.

Wendy: Well, I guess that color is back in style.

The Girls Are Back In Town

Wendy: Hello! Did you miss us?

Sandy: We really know how to keep our new years resolutions!
We almost became one of those dead blogs that stop posting just as you are starting to follow it.

Wendy: Yeah and then you keep checking back hoping they are just having a longer pause until you give up hope.

Sandy: I almost gave up hope. After we got the internet connection fixed in about a week I had already filled the time with other things and then suddenly no longer had time to post. It was a mistake to promise to post often that was too much work. So from now on we will post whenever but that's better than not posting at all.
Also I got sick of the dark winter and the bad picture quality of the pictures taken in the dark.

Wendy: The summer light and the summer clothes really inspire to post.

 

Wendy, Belle Of The Dots

Sandy: Actually, it was news of another blog that finally made me decide to restart the blog. It's been in the news that a blog and a book that claims to tell a true story about a teenaged girl that was bullied at school and committed suicide. Apparently the girl or her parents do not exist.

Wendy: Some say it doesn't matter whether it is true or fiction.

Sandy: And if it doesn't matter whether the story is true then why to say it is? Why not write the same stories without the lies?
There is a difference between an honest fiction with an important story and a story that is claimed to be true but is in fact a lie. And to think that people have bought the book thinking it's a true story they are paying for, not a badly written novel. If the writer had not received money and if she wasn't messing with such an important subject.

Wendy: It was horrible to read the article that revealed this hoax where they referred to studies that show that these idealizing reports of suicides increases the amount of new suicides.

Sandy: She should have written a style blog instead.

Wendy: It's unbelievable how the tv and newspaper reporters ate the story up without checking any facts.

Sandy: They forgot to check Wikipedia.
