The HAPPIEST PLACE on EARTH!!!!

We spent next week-end in Paris...

of course, we enjoyed a bit the city,

and visited some flea markets,

but our main goal was...

THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!!

DISNEYLAND

We were lucky with weather...

but a lot of people had the same idea than us:

enjoying the park under the sun!

Magic Kingdom and Disney studio were SO crowdy!!!

I became really nuts with all these lines for attractions!!!

We have been many times to Disneyland...

so we know quite well all attractions.

But I didn't want to miss "Ratatouille"

that we never experienced.

We had to wait 80 minutes!!!!

The show was nice but REALLY too short for 1.5 hour of waiting!!!!

So we decided to just enjoyed the outside scenery!

Here was my outfit for this special day:

you cannot wear a plain dress to visit Mickey!

This 50's circle skirt was my MASTER piece!

I was feeling a bit like....

this dancing hippo!!!!

Even if we are usually not buying anything...

I love visiting all shops in main street!

And this time I treated myself....

with this lovely Minnie's pin!

It was so hot that Sylvain couldn't wear anything else

 than a hawaiian shirt!

This castle is just so beautiful...

it's really the symbol of this Magic Kingdom!

We had almost the same success than Disney's characters among visitors!

So many of them asked them for pictures!!!

Even if we could not enjoyed a lot of attractions...

I was happy to be able to visit my favorites!

The Small World...

and the Phantom Mansion!

At that time of the year, a lot of places were closed for restoration...

that's a shame when you see the price of the entrance!!!

Fortunatly we had discounted tickets.

In fact we chose that week-end to go

because of the rock'n roll Disney festival!

Some nice cars are displayed...

we have been there with ours vintage cars 3 times already...

There are also free rock'n roll concerts for 3 days!

And you can enjoy a real burger at Annette's diner!!!

Have you ever been dissapointed with Disneyland ?

Which ones have you already visited around the world?

Nous sommes montés à la Capitale ce week-end pour quelques jours. Au programme: un peu de tourisme, du shopping et le but de notre visite: Disneyland! C'est toujours un plaisir de se rendre àdans "l'endroit le plus heureux sur Terre", surtout sous un beau ciel bleu! Malheureusement, nous n'étions pas les seuls à avoir eu cette idée... je ne crois pas avoir jamais vu le parc aussi bondé! La seule attraction que je ne voulais pas manquer: "Ratatouille"... bilan 1.5 heure d'attente pour 5 minutes de plaisir... au final, un peu déçue car bien trop court! Nous avons donc pris le parti de simplement nous balader et profiter des décors magiques! Nous avons tout de même pu visiter 2 de nos attractions favorites: Small World et la maison hantée. Nous avons fini la journée en beauté au festival Rock'n Roll Disney avec au programme voitures US et concerts gratuits!

Is it ALREADY FALL???

We can finally fell Fall these last few days...

Mornings are colder,

it's still night when we wake up for work,

we can even already see some yellow leaves on trees!

Rain has also made its come-back!

So this NOS vintage umbrella

 made its first outing this week-end!

I found 4 of those at a flea market we went 2 weeks ago...

directly from a stock of an umbrellas shop closed in the early 60's!

This market was really HUGE!

The biggest one in Belgium, about 1500 dealers!

We needed more than 11 hours to see everything...

without even eating!!!

Yes, we are CRAZY!

I like when weather is not too cold but also not too hot.

I can add a jacket or a sweater to my outfits...

You can match a second color...

and it's better to pin a nice brooch!

A sweater can also hide what is wrong with a dress!

I have lost some weight recently...

Of course, it's a good thing...

 but it's also a big dilemma!

A part of my wardrobe is now becoming too big on me!

That's the case for this dress...

but wearing it with a sweater is a good solution!

You cannot see that it is oversized!

But that's a weird feeling... being happy to weight less...

but sad that some treasures don't fit anymore...

My hubby has never has that problem of overweight... 

still slim after almost 20 years together!

He eats much more than me,

 do no particular sport...

and it's me who is curvy!!! Not fair...

Sylvain also likes to be able to wear a jacket

but surely not to hide his curves

but with a nice square shoulders jacket

he can certainly feel thougher!!!

Is summer done where you live?

Have you ever had the losing weight dilemma?

Et voilà... il semble que peu à peu l'automne gagne du terrain... les jours raccourcissent, les matinées sont fraîches et les feuilles commencent à jaunir! C'est le moment de ressortir les sweaters et les parapluies! Je viens justement d'en acquérir 4 nouveaux neufs d'époque lors d'une incroyable marché aux puces il y a 2 semaines. 1500 marchants, la plus grande de Belgique, il nous a fallu plus de 11 heures pour tout voir et cela sans manger... oui, nous sommes un peu fous! Même si j'ai horreur de la pluie, cette saison est bien agréable... pas trop chaud, mais pas trop froid... mais un petit cardigan parfait à ravir une tenue et permet aussi de cachet ses petits défauts! J'ai perdu un peu de poids récemment et cela reste un dilemme pour moi... le plaisir de rentrer dans une taille de moins, mais la tristesse de nager dans vos robes préférées! Sylvain est bien loin de ces considérations, il garde la ligne et cela sans sport ou régime particulier... c'est pas juste!!!

- Bonne rentrée à tous -
