Truffles, the greatest chocolate-related invention. EVER! There are few chocolate treats that are better than a hump of ganache, rolled in melted chocolate, covered with chocolate flakes… Chocolate heaven! Conoceís truffles? Son los mejores chocolates en este mundo! Y ahora tengo un vestido con el mismo nombre! 😀 The Colette Truffle Dress is equally genius. I love the simplicity of the dress! A pretty … Continue reading Colette Truffle Dress
* I moved to WordPress, I used to blog over at cosercosas.blogspot.com . I changed because I prefer the comments handling and layout options better here * *** BTW Sorry for the uninspired post, but I am currently nursing a hangover… Like Heather from the Great British Sewing Bee would say, I drowned in a bucket of gin(-tonic) last night… *** A lot of sewing … Continue reading And it was called yellow – last dress of winter

My first idea was to make this a maxi-dress but maxi-dresses aren’t really my thing. I love them, and I always try one on, but they’re just … Continue reading Colette Eclair
After a lot of hesitation I cut into my gorgeous fabric I got for my birthday… I decided to make it into a Colette Violet, one of the patterns I got for my birthday. I don’t know where my head was at when I decided on the size to cut out, but it must have been lightyears away… I cut a size 12 while my … Continue reading Colette Violet
I LOVE my birthday… And this year was a big one. I turned 30 two weeks ago! Weeks in advance I harassed Mr. Ogre about the plans he may or may not have made, give him not so subtle hints on what I want to do, and more importantly, what I want to get… This year I really outdid myself and sent him an email … Continue reading Birthday Bounty
