Short Film Friday - Gabriel - An inspirational short film about athlete Gabriel Neris

Hooray for Friday! Hope you all had a fantastic week and that you are looking forward to the weekend.

For this week's Film Friday I wanted to share with you all a film called Gabriel which is a short film about 16-year-old Gabriel Neris, a determined para-athelete, on his way to competing at Tokyo 2020. He was made famous after he completed a 100m race, even though his prosthesis had fallen off.

Gabriel Neris is a 16 years old para-athlete who's not afraid of pursuing his dreams.

He got famous after losing his prothesis in the middle of a 100m competition in São Paulo, Brazil.
Even under a lot of pain, he made a way to reach the finish line.

This film dives inside Gabriel's life and background, leading us through his fellings and motivations.

Directors: Douglas Bernardt and Squarehead
Director of Photography: Lucas D. Oliveira

Produced by Stink São Paulo
Hope that you enjoy the film, it is beautiful shot and produced and is also a really inspirational story.

Have a great weekend

Style Saturday - Flamingo Style!

Hello everyone,

I am rather obsessed with flamingos at the moment. I think it is ever since I got given some flamingo feathers as a gift!

Flamingo feathers! Coolest gift ever 💗 #flamingo #feathers #nature #birds #bird #pink #colours #rustic #cyprus #thedorothydays

 I love the retro/ kitsch look of the flamingos in this collection. I particularly like the flamingo decal it would look great on a plain wall. The bright colour of the flamingo adds a splash of colour to the room or, if you prefer a monochrome look then there are black and white flamingo plates and a cushion.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, thanks so much for reading!

Not a very Wordless Wednesday - Pink hydrangea photograph by The Dorothy Days

Hello everyone,

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my blog. 

On Wednesdays I post a photograph on my blog without any many words hence the title 'Wordless Wednesday' this is something which many bloggers from around the world do every Wednesday.

Today I wanted to share one from my Instagram account which I took yesterday. On my Instagram account I post lots of different photos of what I am up to, what I am making, what inspires me and behind the scenes photographs. You can find my Instagram account here

....I realise this is not a very Wordless Wednesday after all...but hope you like the photograph!

Beautiful hydrangea flowers. These are so pretty that I made some hydrangea wedding tags available in my shop (link in profile) #wedding #etsy #etsyuk #hydrangea #pink #flowers #pretty #purple #flower #gardens

Cool interactive video for you to enjoy!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far. I thought today I would share with you all something fun that I found to pass a few moments of the day.

I won't tell you too much but open this Youtube video in fullscreen and put your finger in the middle and keep touching your screen while the video plays. It is pretty cool

(Nothing scary or nothing not work safe....don't worry!)

Style Saturday - Nudes, pastel pink and a touch of mint outfit inspiration

Hello everyone,

Happy Saturday! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I am hoping that if I keep posting spring items that the nicer weather might come faster! This week I have this gorgeous outfit to share with you. I am rather obsessed with pastel colours and I thought this mint, pink and nude combination worked really well with the little hint of blue in the trousers.

My favourite item has to be the avocado plant holder. Isn't it cool!?

Enjoy your weekend everyone and thanks so much for reading my blog

New month new me? - The Dorothy Days return to blogging!

Hello everyone,

Well it has been a very long time since I last blogged on here (sorry!!!) and I miss it! The shop has been very busy and my Twitter account very active and I have been involved recently in some really interesting projects so I have been finding little time for my blogging and my blog has taken a bit of a back seat. Blogging is something I really enjoy so I have decided to try to start it up again and find time in my day to do some blogging. I miss the lovely comments I used to get from readers and also doing the research of fun things to put on the blog. 

Going to set myself a blogging challenge of 2 posts a week and see how I go from there. Hopefully once it becomes part of my routine I will be able to find time in my week to do it and it will also be something I enjoy doing.

Anyone else setting themselves any blogging goals? Would love to hear from you and what they are, please leave a comment below.

Here is to a fresh blogging start and an active blog!
