		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:base="http://silent-butterfly.com/2009/06/28/sapph-lingerie/"><![CDATA[<p>Just as I love shoes and purses, I also like lingerie. It just makes me feel pretty even though not everyone gets to see what I&#8217;m wearing. We have a designer in The Netherlands called <a class="external" title="Marlies Dekkers' Website" href="http://www.marliesdekkers.nl/">Marlies Dekkers</a>, she makes really beautiful and stylish lingerie. The only downside is that it&#8217;s really really expensive, averaging E 94 for a bra. Granted, it&#8217;s different and it&#8217;s not a standard colour or design, but my wallet just doesn&#8217;t like it as much as I do.</p>
<p>Lucky for me, there s another brand called <a class="external" title="Sapph Lingerie" href="http://www.sapphlingerie.com/">Sapph</a>, they have similar styles and colours but they are a lot cheaper. So now I can get to look and feel pretty without making my wallet (or bank account) cry. They are comfortable and fit just right, which can&#8217;t always be said for an average brand with normal (or standard) bras and panties. I guess I have to say this is my favourite lingerie brand so far, even though the bras I&#8217;ve been wearing so far weren&#8217;t bad either, they were OK to wear but they were plain. I like it a bit more edgy.</p>
<p>It is really addictive to buy and wear pretty lingerie though, I&#8217;ve been looking all over town and the internet to find more cute and sexy stuff from this brand. Unfortunately more people really like it, so my size is sold out a lot of the time, which means I have to wait for them to get back into stock <img src='http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  . Ooh well at least I have something to look forward to.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your favourite brand of lingerie?</p>
<p class="small">Ooh and for those of you who care, I bought a white Fortuny <img src='http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I was present since the early hours of the day, as she asked me to be her maid of honour. Of course I couldn&#8217;t say no, it&#8217;s a real honour to be the official witness of her wedding. I have to admit I already seen her in her dress when she went to try it on for the last fitting, but seeing the complete picture with the make-up and her hair done, she looked absolutely amazing.</p>
<p>Her husband looked very fancy too in his suit. It really was a picture perfect combination. The day itself was awesome, the both beamed with joy all day long and the party they gave was a lot of fun.</p>
<p>I wish both of them all the luck in the world, that their lives may be filled with joy and love for each other.  And I would also like to thank them for having me as a day guest yesterday, it really was an honour being there and sharing this special day with you!</p>

		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:base="http://silent-butterfly.com/2009/06/13/trollbeads/"><![CDATA[<p>Not too long ago I learned about <a class="external" title="Trollbeads Site (Dutch) " href="http://www.trollbeads.nl">Trollbeads</a>. I had heard of <a class="external" title="Pandora Site" href="http://www.pandora-jewelry.com/">Pandora</a> and other similar charm collections but trollbeads where new to me. Doing a little research online and talking to people who actually wear them made me aware that trollbeads are actually the original charms. They have been around since 1976!</p>
<p>I have to admit I never really liked Pandora. I just couldn&#8217;t get used to the style and some of the glass beads made me wonder if they really weren&#8217;t plastic. So I never bothered to look into the charm collecting thing.</p>
<p>The brightness and the details of the trollbeads charms really did catch my eye though. And surfing around the website really made me want to start collecting them. So last week I went out and bought a silver bracelet and a lock and my first charm.</p>
<p>Every charm has its own meaning and you can change the bracelet (or necklace) around really easily with new beads that fit you as a person.</p>
<p>Admittedly they aren&#8217;t cheap, they cost a bit of money especially when you just start with everything (you have to get everything from scratch) but to me it&#8217;s worth it.</p>
<p>The good thing about it is that I now know what to ask for holidays and celebrations <img src='http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p>I have the following beads already (granted there are only 2 so far but my wish list contains a lot more!) and I can&#8217;t stop looking at it, it&#8217;s pretty and shiny <img src='http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . All images come from <a class="external" title="Trollbeads.nl (Dutch)" href="http://www.trollbeads.nl">trollbeads.nl</a></p>
<p align="center"><img class="photography" title="Bracelet" src="http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/15221_b-150x150.jpg" alt="Bracelet" /></p>
<p>The bracelet I bought (they all look the same but differ in length)</p>
<p align="center"><img class="photography" title="Lock" src="http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/10105_b-150x150.jpg" alt="Lock" /></p>
<p>The lock, you have many different locks, even ordinary locks that don&#8217;t have flowers or gems on them. I just loved the way the flowers look.</p>
<p align="center"><img class="photography" title="Turquoise Stripe" src="http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/61358_a.jpg" alt="Turquoise Stripe" width="100" height="100" /></p>
<p>Turquoise Stripe: I just loved the colours, but finding out the meaning of it was really funny as I&#8217;m a true water person <em><span class="normal">Mediterranean blue as the ocean surrounding the Greek Islands. Alternating stripes of frosted and transparent glass, letting light through in a way that makes colour move within.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="normal">Today&#8217;s purchase would have been my first charm if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact it was sold out. Luckily they re-ordered it and I managed to get it today. It totally reminds me of Sam.</span></p>
<p align="center"><span class="normal"><img class="photography" title="Kitten" src="http://silent-butterfly.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/11132_b-150x150.jpg" alt="Kitten" width="150" height="150" /></span></p>
<p><em><span class="normal">There are few creatures as playful and funny as the little kitten, that jumps at anything it can get a hold of, with its big eyes and great eagerness. This is quite a little troublemaker.</span></em> I guess that not only says something about Sam but also a little about me, and some would point directly to the troublemaker part&#8230;..</p>
<p>I have a lot more charms and beads on my wish-list, like the two horses, or the giraffes, mocha for my coffee addiction (coffee beans) etc. At least now I will always know something to ask for a birthday or holiday, the downside is that those days are still months away&#8230;.</p>
