tc: bonne année, tana! you weren't a fan of another earth..?
home collection: two in the wave came out in 2009, but it only came to australia this year. it was great - i highly recommend it. happy 2012, marion!
that kate: i am very keen to check out incendies. i really liked little white lies (i love benoit magimel muchly!). hope you have a wonderful 2012 x
sundari: well done on all of your amazing achievements this year! i look forward to hearing your thoughts on melancholia.
gwyneth: thanks for having me along - your submission was a great day! hehe - being more social is made easier with the thesis out of the way so a catch up will be grand. i still have to give you your submission prezzie! x
niclas: great choices!
herecomesthesun: oh yes, it is a must-see movie!
saer: definitely watch another earth - i am still putting together your activity list and that is definitely on it. woah - it sounds like you've had quite a year! opening yourself up to new experiences and feelings is always a good thing, i think (even if there were a few tears) x
ella: haha - that's so true about owen wilson. you are wise beyond your years!
blue apocalypse: i am sure 2012 will be filled with many food adventures once we have our post-holiday detox. dieeettttt - noooooo! i can't believe i forgot about izakaya - that was an excellent meal! plus, we have some good music times to look forward to as well!
jennifer: i hope you like them!
gerlin: yes, definitely see another earth. i didn't have particularly high expectations for it, but i was really blown away. your taste in music is a little more exciting than mine, which is why you are my music lady! happy 2012 to you too - i hope it will finally be the year that we can meet :)
audrey fretz: thank you! hopefully they turn out to be good recommendations.
vivi: thank you for your kind words. i get what you mean about the premise of melancholia - it is quite strange and slightly unbelievable. the cinematography and music definitely did it for me. happy new year to you!

oh i dig!!! ;))
RépondreSupprimerI love confetti system! Oh Danica, sometimes I wonder about you. At times I feel you are a Southern Hemisphere version of myself.
RépondreSupprimerThe sentiment on simplicity is apt. It is my aim this year to K-I-S-S. Or as one of my old teacher's always used to yell at us, 'KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!'. I aim to live simply, slower and more fully. Too much multi-tasking and burden makes life unnecessarily complex.
After all, when I look back over life the most fulfilling moments have always employed the most simplest of ingredients.
-saer
Perhaps I am your Southern twin? It's quite a nice thought. We do have quite a few things in common! :)
SupprimerI love those garlands! Happy New year! :)
RépondreSupprimerSatin&Souffles xx
Here's to a fabulous 2012 to you Danica and to your amazing blog!
RépondreSupprimer♥
Camila Faria
shimmering! like the sentiment. yes!
RépondreSupprimerhope 2012 brings you shimmer and a touch of dazzle.
There is happiness in simplicity. The less you want, the more you have.
RépondreSupprimerDid you take these photographs?
So true! And yes, I did take the photographs.
SupprimerI'm glad you liked Almodovar's film. I loved it as well. It takes a special kind of person to admire his screwed up yet genius style, don't you agree? What does this say about us?...ha, ha. Lovely post as always.
RépondreSupprimerI would like to think that we have open minds to delicious perversity.
SupprimerThe skin I live in is next on our must see list ... and I always trust your recommendations .... we loved Meloncohlia the other day X
RépondreSupprimerOh, I am so pleased that you liked Melancholia! I think The Skin I Live In will definitely be up your alley as well x
SupprimerBeautiful pictures. Have a wonderful new year!
RépondreSupprimerI love Almodovar's movies, I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait.
with such a wonderful picture of the sea the year promisses to be shimmering! i liked Jennifer`s interior too, so much inspiring with all ethnic details. And thank you for a good sentiment:)
RépondreSupprimerlove your glittery decor! so so pretty.

RépondreSupprimerBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful ... the word I often repeat to myself when I visit your home here.
RépondreSupprimerHappy new year Danica (2012 is going to be magic!).

Thanks for sharing Design Sponge, now I'm going to want everything :)
Hope you are having a wonderful New Year!!
As I continue to scroll down and read your other posts I begin to realize that you are now my new favorite blogger haha! :)
RépondreSupprimerI loved your film / music review! So Good.

Supprimerj'adore les froufrous et tout ce qui brille ! je suis très girly en somme !
RépondreSupprimeroh how amazing! happy new year dear
RépondreSupprimerI agree, the Skin I Live Nn was amazing!
RépondreSupprimerHello! I came across your blog only today and spent a couple of hours on it reading all the archive! It's nice to read about french culture from the viewpoint of a smitten foreigner. I'm french and in love with anglo-saxon culture, and I tend to forget what's cool about my country and how great the nouvelle vague was, for instance. Too bad so many french women don't dress too well these days, especially in a small town like mine. Anyway, bravo ! Je vais suivre ton blog maintenant !
RépondreSupprimerHehe - I am indeed a smitten foreigner. I must admit that I have a very romanticised view of French culture, so I am pleased to have a French reader who sees the merit in what I post.
Supprimeri am reading the book, before watching the actual movie. i always think that imagination beats the silver screen. love love love your pictures of course! have a wonderful and creative new year. xx*
RépondreSupprimerJust wanted to let you know that its always a pleasure & a good moment to read your words (comments you sometimes leave on Bonjour Johanna and also your blog posts).
RépondreSupprimerOften I would like to write you comments, so much to say... Things you share here are often things for which I also have some interest, like the post in which you wrote about books and printed medias, I remember having left a pretty long comment there...Well, on almost every of your post my comment would be (if days would be have more hours) as long as that one. Sadly I don't have enough time to write those words, but I read you & wish that one day somewhere we will meet and talk.
I wish you a nice week and even if it's soon February best wishes for the 11 other months of 2012,
xxx
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a beautiful comment, Johanna. I truly appreciate the time that you take to leave any thoughts here, as well as the words, art and photographs on your blog. I too hope that we will one day meet xx
SupprimerDanica, you haven't shown up for a period of time and I am missing your words...
RépondreSupprimerHappy 2012 and the year of the Dragon!!Wish you all the best.:)
Happy 2012 and year of the dragon to you too, Koey. I had a bit of an impromptu blog break, but I am back now :)
SupprimerYour blog is full of so many pretty images. It's like stumbling into a daydream!
