A new coat for the winter

We have this cute almost-national clothing brand called Monton (they send all over Europe, I think) and they had a birthday game in Facebook. I won! I am so happy. You could choose the prize yourself and I chose an adorable wintercoat, as I desperately needed one. I chose this one:

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try it on before. As I visited another city, I went to try it on in the shop with my friend who works in the same brand. She told me that the coat was too narrow for my body and she was right. It did not fit my hips nicely. So I contacted them and asked, if I could change it (for a cheaper version, of course!) and they said yes. Altough I love the first coat and especially the pattern, I know that I would not feel comfortable in it.     

My friend also told me that when she heard of me entering the competition, she immediately thought of this coat for me. So this is the new one I (or shall I say we) chose:                                                                

Winter, you can come!

Gorjuss "New Heights"

Sometimes I get attached to things. Altough, to my defense, it used to be much worse. Now I only get attached to really cool things and not so often.

This year it would be Gorjuss and especially the "New Heights" series. I love books and this picture really talks to me. Last year it was shoes... Well, in this picture you can see most of my stuff from Gorjuss I have collected over the year.
Half of the stuff is for handycrafting, so they are truly useful, not just pretty.

I have a couple of notebooks, a binder, a pencil case, two wallets, a thermos, set of postcards, two pencils, two sets of stamps, two sets of papers and pictures for scrapbooking. And maybe also something I cannot remember at the moment.

Not very gothy, but oh-so-adorable, right?

Also, this spring I decided to make my own dayplanner for 2014. I have a fanatic relationship with my dayplanners (and lots of different notebooks), I could not function without one in my professional nor private life. I have tried lots of different ones, but none of them is IT. Also, there are a lot of useless pages in most of them.
So, I made my own. I made the layout (in MS Word, oh dear...), calculated the order of the pages, printed it out, binded it in coptic style and finally, one night, made the covers. And, tatarattaa (trompet sound), of course it is "New Heights".

But I love it. Cannot wait for 2014 to start using it.
