More snow equals: a fur hat, black jumper upon black dress under a cameo of an unknown woman. The cold sun and light snow of February makes me optimistic, as does interviewing Kate Mosse, listening to Open Book & The Book Cafe and being nominated for a Liebster Award by the very kind Hannah of tea.three.sugars
Hannah's questions:
1. What inspires you?
Ice, snow, poetry, crow chorus & Anais Nin.
2. What do you never leave the house without?
A book & my phone to listen to the radio.
3. If you could only wear one colour, what would it be?
My mood at the moment dictates dusky, fondant pink.
4. If you could only shop in one place for clothes for the rest of your life, where would it be?
Etsy because then I would get the best of both worlds - vintage and handmade goodies!
5. What is your favourite season and why?
Winter, for hot chocolate, wild weather, sparkles of snow, the soft breath of huskies and comfort food.
6. Where is your favourite place to visit in the UK?
Whitby, for childhood memories, and the Isle of Skye, where I began to learn Gaelic and danced until 5 in the morning.
7. Stormy weather or calm blue skies?
I love wild weather, but it can get in the way of picnics...
8. What do you think is your best feature? (can be physical or mental!)
My imagination/ability to read for hours on end, I don't think I would be the same person otherwise.
9. What is your favourite smell?
It used to be my dog's ears - they smelled of Doritos.
10. What is the most embarrassing CD you own?
Oh dear, I'm sure there's some Cradle of Filth or Mortiis CDs kicking around. But I personally file them under Vintage Goth Gold.
11. What is your favourite song?
Currently Spell, by Nick Cave
My questions
1.Which living person do you most admire and why?
2. Your fancy dress costume of choice?
3. What is a trait you most admire in yourself?
4. What is a trait you most admire in others?
5. Favourite bird?
6. Where would you like to live?
7. What makes you happy?
8. Who is your favourite author?
9. Favourite dessert?
10. A habit you can't break?

Gorgeous pictures and I loved your answers! Have a wonderful week :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! x
DeleteWhat a great read, I share your Nick Cave love! x
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving The Lyre of Orpheus at the moment :) x
DeleteYou are hauntingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really love stormy weather I must admit because I love waking up and going to sleep with the sound of rain, but I just can't handle wind. Whenever the sun is out it always seems to effect my mood and make me feel incredibly positive :D omg, my dogs feet smell of doritos. I thought I was the only one who think parts of animals smell of doritos... but they really do. ♥
That's such an incredibly lovely thing to say, thank you.
DeleteI like falling asleep to rain too, it's comforting when you don't have to go out in it!
Haha, my dog's feet and ears smelled of Doritos, I had no idea why! Maybe it's a dog thing? x
Thank you so much for nominating me :)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your answers and I can't wait to make my own post and answer your questions :)
Valeria

No worries dear, your blog is truly inspiring x
DeleteWell okay, I think I understand this a little better.... haha, your questions sound like fun! I can't wait. :)
ReplyDeleteI originally stopped by your post today to let you know how much I admire your bangs, and how jealous I am that you get to see snow this year... Texas feels like spring in February this year... and it SOUNDS nice... but think if what that will mean for the weather in the summertime! :o
xx
Haha, I probably haven't explained the concept too well. From what I gather you answer the previously nominated person's questions, make some questions of your own and then nominate as many other bloggers as you like.
DeleteI've only had a fringe for the past year and a half, can't believe I didn't cover up my forehead sooner :P
Ooh, does that mean in you're in for a toasty summer? I've been to Texas but it always looks amazing in pictures x
Gorgeous hat and fabulous photos! You're so pretty! Love the blog X
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm getting the wear out of this hat before spring arrives :) x
DeleteI adore your Russian style hat, the texture of your jumper and your soul-searching blue eyes - they're so very blue! Thank you for answering my questions lovely :) I feel like I understand you more now. Dusky, fondant pink... what a dreamy description! I have never been to Whitby or the Isle of Skye but I now long to go to both. I'm pretty sure I have some 'Vintage Goth Gold' lying around somewhere too, and I had the terrible image that went with my love of the likes of Marilyn Manson! Oh how people change! I am going to go and check out the three blogs you nominated now xx p.s. and thank you very, very much for your compliment - I am going to try and do more outfit posts after all the lovely things everyone said :)
ReplyDeleteSuch kind words! It was a lot of fun answering your questions, thank you so much for nominating me :)
DeleteAha, I loved Marilyn Manson too, and his style worryingly informed mine when I was 13-14. At least we're snappier dressers now - and I mean it when I say you should do more outfit posts, I really enjoyed your current one! x
Your beautiful www.adoramehitabel.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, you look incredibly pretty in your profile picture :) x
DeleteI love these kinds of posts, so much! I found your answer to #9 so funny, as I said sort of the same thing on my liebster blog post: I mentioned that I like the smell of my dog's ears and feet and another blogger thought I meant that I like the smell of "feet" in general. haha, eww.
ReplyDeleteThey're quite fun to write too. Haha, only dog feet! Human feet have an altogether different odour.. x
