Five Minutes with my SMAAK Handbag – Regular Random
While I was in Amsterdam, I spent a couple of hours wondering around the city on my own, and discovered a wonderful handbag store called Smaak Amsterdam and immediately fell in love with about 5 different bags. I was particularly drawn to the yellow bags, although the pink and they grey bags were also fabulous.…

Paris – partie trois.
And now for the Louvre – oh to have a few days to spend here. What a spectacular scene. We drove through a little “tunnel” of darkness which opened up onto the magnificent square – I was not prepared for the beauty of this spot. If I had time, of course I would have hopped…

Up Close with a Pale Pink Tulip
I’m coming to the end of my Amsterdam trip (I’m writing this post on my last night, on May 8th), and I’m coming to the end of my tulip photos. This might be my last tulip post, I hope you’ve enjoyed them with me. I have loved them. x desleyjane

Paris – deuxième partie.
The Paris love affair continues. Today, photos from the Académie Nationale de Musique – the Paris Opera. What a stunning building, and I’m still fascinated that the Parisians have the opportunity to go there every day. Next time, I need to go inside, I’m told it’s gorgeous too. x desleyjane

Pink & Peach
This is the most classic shape, I adore it. There was one other that was completely pink and it was stunning (you can see it among the photos here). This one has such a beautiful graduation of colour from pink to peachy apricot – divine. x desleyjane

Five Minutes with French Macarons – RegularRandom
I picked up these macarons at the train station on my way back from Paris to Amsterdam and shared them with my host the next night after dinner. But of course, I had to give them the RegularRandom treatment first! Love the colours, love the different effects we an get with saturation, love the flavours!…

Delft City
We drove to just outside the city centre of Delft, but the bus is not allowed to enter, so we walked about 15 minutes into the centre. Of course, on the way, it started to rain, so we dashed into a hot chocolate shop to stay warm and dry until it passed. I met a…

Royal Delft Ceramic Factory
I adored Delft – what a lovely city. The Royal Delft ceramic factory was amazing and I loved getting into the details of the behind the scenes work – the tools and unbaked pieces were fascinating. As soon as I saw the artist painting a tiny clog, I again knew I had to get out…

Curls of Delight.
I was so taken with this particular flower. I chose it predominantly for its colour, but I did also notice the curls. Once it was in a vase on the table, I was eye level with this beauty and was fascinated by its curls. The shape and the way the colours follow the curves really…

The Hague & Madurodam
While in Amsterdam, I took a bus tour, from Amsterdam up to The Hague, and then Madurodam, then Rotterdam and finally Delft. Here are some photos from Madurodam (except the first one, which is The Peace Palace in The Hague). Madurodam is a miniature village – a little park, where they have built 1:25 scale…

Dior.
Happy Mother’s Day. Dedicating these photos to my mama 💕 I did love this collection while shooting them, and I still do. Plus the editing made me happy. But perhaps my post entitled Glamour is still my favourite so far. They certainly don’t look like tulips, do they? x desleyjane
