It is not easy to keep on top of things on the forum, things happen so fast... I've posted about it <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mia-ylf">here</a> a while back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620219 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:22:02 +0000 Ornella 620219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, Suz, Shannon, Aida, thank you all :-)</p> <p>Debbie, I hope you'll get to take your grandson to Legoland soon. It is a true paradise for the fans.</p> <p>Jeanne, "ankle deep" is a funny and true way to describe our level of Lego-mania.</p> <p>Claire, I hope to repeat lego-colors again too.</p> <p>Sveta, a word is a word, *especially* to a child On that note, at this moment I can't give my word to have more post-and-runs, but I will stop by whenever there's something worthy to share (There's one older thread <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-random-selection-of-outfits">here</a>).</p> <p>Mandipa, you have to show us that Lego necklace now, of course (and please message me if I'm not around when you do - I must see that). And I think being a true Lego fan has nothing to do with age...<br /> Btw, <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-repurposed-lego-tyres">check this out</a> for some more lego jewelry...</p> <p>Beth Ann, I do like the idea of OLF... and that sound of Legos being stirred, I know what you're saying... BUT the sound of the brick falling on the floor, then rollong somewhere and my son asking me to fish it out from under the furniture - that drives me nuts.</p> <p>Astrid, funny that you mentioned Playmobil Funpark, I've been looking for some kiddies activities around our new place and came across that one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620218 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:19:07 +0000 celia 620218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you didn't know Mr. D.V. before? :)<br /> You dressed royaly for your visit and the picture with your kid is so sweet.<br /> I hadn't seen that you were moving to Germany, hope th move goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620141 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:40:10 +0000 Astrid 620141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading your post, and your outfit is wonderful of course! I've been to Legoland in Denmark, it was great - I loved all the mini landscapes. I think you'll have the Playmobil FunPark not far away from you after your move, I was there once a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620040 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:00:00 +0000 Beth Ann 620040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, inspiration comes in all kinds of places! This is a fun, but very grown-up take on what we must now call "Ornella's Lego Formula." I have a 10 year old Lego fiend upstairs as we speak. I'll never forget that sound of Lego's being stirred about in a giant bin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620036 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:49:10 +0000 ManidipaM 620036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thrilled to bits by this! I'm obsessed with Lego, even have Lego jewellery (in fact, in all seriousness, that's what I was thinking of when I saw your title!), and have wanted to visit Legoland since I was knee-high to a bee --- ha, just call me young at heart </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-620018 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:05:43 +0000 Sveta 620018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, can you do these "post and run" more often - I miss you!<br /> Love your thought process and that you kept your word to your son and that the weather cooperated as well. Love the primary color outfit too - very Lego-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619933 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:09:29 +0000 Aida 619933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah so cute! I enjoyed your inspiration, both the logic and the outfit ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619899 Tue, 15 May 2012 00:23:09 +0000 Anonymous 619899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful day! I'm so glad you had a break of good weather for it. I loved reading about the inspiration for your outfit, which did not turn out strange looking at all! I hope you will repeat it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619865 Mon, 14 May 2012 23:49:14 +0000 Jjsloane 619865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I am so happy you embraced Lego primary colors! DS is OBSESSED with Legos (we are about ankle deep at this point due to a very generous Auntie) and I fear more to come, but I enjoy them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619846 Mon, 14 May 2012 23:29:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 619846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619826 Mon, 14 May 2012 23:10:34 +0000 Suz 619826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, you are a gem.

I still cannot stop smiling, that was by far my favorite day out of this kind - ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619708 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:31:02 +0000 Inge 619708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your thought process, Ornella:-)<br /> I also love the picture of the huge LEGO bricks, and your lovely outfit was perfect for this visit. I hope you guys had a fantastic time (the fourth pic is so sweet).</p> <p>P.S.

I see the lego connection right away.<br /> You look great posed next ultimate Star Wars villain Darth Vader. </p> <p>We have been to Legoland in Carlsbad, California (near San Diego) and had a blast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-queen-of-the-lego-castle#post-619693 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:19:01 +0000 Ornella 619693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please excuse another post-and-run and thanks in advance to those who will have read the whole post :-)</p> <p>Call me silly after you read this, but if I've learnt one thing here on YLF (and I have learnt a lot) it is to have fun with fashion. Here's the latest example.</p> <p><strong>The Background</strong><br /> Yesterday I have had the strangest inspiration for my outfit - so far Months ago we have promised our son we'll take him to Legoland before we move to Germany. Btw, British Legoland is in Windsor, which also happens to be where the royal residence known as Windsor Castle is. All this time, the weather had worked against us - after all it's mid May as I type and we still haven't switched off the heating. We are in the final two weeks before we move and I was seriously beginning to panic - this is one promise in particular I would do anything to keep, but it was pointless to travel far in bad weather. But, finally, the force has been with us(*) and after weeks of anxious wait for the good weather forecast, at last we have decided to risk it and travel - and boy, the wait has been so worth it!</p> <p><strong>The Outfit</strong><br /> When thinking about what to wear my thoughts went a bit like this: <em>Legoland... Lego... Lego bricks... a-ha, red brick... I might wear red top... brick, brick, yellow brick... wait a minute, I also have a yellow handbag... no... I won't go that far... yes, I will go that far, I will wear something blue too for the blue Lego brick ... after all, those ARE the colors of the most popular Lego bricks.</em> And, here I am, in all my red-yellow-blue glory, photographed on the castle where the roller-coaster leaves from. I admit it, I did giggle a lot throughout the day. What can I say, I do take things literally sometimes, and it was too fun to walk by all these displays and see "my colors of the day" on them.</p> <p>(*) To make things even more fun, a huge Star Wars display has just been set up at the resort and it was actually brilliant one to see. I am not a SW fan, btw, my son has learnt about it from his friends. Check the tall, dark and handsome fella from the photo no.3, who can resist a guy with the cape LOL</p> <p><strong>The Photos</strong><br /> (1) Inspiration<br /> (2) Lego mum<br /> (3) With this guy I could wear high heels, like, *all*the*time*<br /> (4) Bonus photo: me and the kiddo next to the mini Holland. </p>
