The times they are a-changin’

Life lately has been both crazy and on stand-by at the same time. While I keep super busy with work, Dave and I are discussing all sort of important grown-up things like “should we move within or outside of Barcelona? should we just quit our jobs and move abroad? should we go to Japan in May? what if we’re not even here anymore in May?”. Honestly we’re having a hard time coming to a final decision, life is hard you guyz! For the time being I have been contemplating going freelance in the new year and while I’m excited at the prospect it’s also a really scary thought (unpaid holidays, what will I do if I don’t have clients etc.), but I think it could work out for me. I already have a couple of clients and lots of ideas, including a massive project Dave and I are planning to develop together. What I’d need is just a bit of time to sort everything out and start afresh. Ah time, when did you become so precious…

Partly because of office-appropriate clothing and mostly because I’m listening to a lot of 60s folk music right now I’m leaning a lot more towards wool knits and natural colours like forest green, beige and navy. Also -thanks to the paycheck that comes with the busy days- I am growing a bit too fond of COS with their simple cuts and natural fabrics, it is just great for basics even if a bit expensive.

My Dad took these photos during lunch break last week and said I looked like a schoolboy, luckily I have since gone and had my hair cut into a short Vidal Sassoon kind of thing. I got the shoes last october at the Sunday market in Brick Lane, but because I am stupid and get overwhelmed easily with crowds I ended up buying a size too small (even though I tried them on) and it’s taken me more than a month to break them in. Thankfully they have given quite a bit and fit quite comfortably now, I would’ve felt so stupid if I had ended up not being able to wear them.
