Holiday Look – The Big Bow High Heel Stilettos

December 2, 2015

It’s December!

December marks the beginning of present shoppings and holiday cheer. So from now on until the end of December I’m doing a series of posts about what makes this month for me a month full of sparkle, fun and lovely outfits. This is my first post of the series. (I don’t know how many there will be, my mind is full of ideas all the time, so keep tuning in).

This post is all about the party attire: be it around the Christmas table, at a Christmas party, visiting your loved ones or going to a New Year’s Party.

The Tartan Dress and Black Coat

November 27, 2015

Winter is here, there’s no doubt about it. You can really smell Christmas in the air. The rush in the city only seems to cool down only in the evenings now, and it will continue to do so until December 24th. Somehow I enjoy it. I won’t say it’s my favorite time of the year, because Summer is, but I enjoy Christmas and always will.
Little by little I’m starting to prepare for Christmas myself.

So when I saw this tartan dress on Dresslink I had to have it: perfect for the holidays, cute and comfortable. And I really like the material, it’s warm and soft. Since snow is just around the corner (fingers crossed) I wanted something cute and sparkly, so I chose this rhinestone necklace that resemble sparkly snowdrops. It’s a statement necklace and I really like it, great with winter jumpers to bring some pop and sparkle into your outfits around the Christmas Tree.

The Trench Coat – Sibiu

November 20, 2015

Last weekend we traveled to Sibiu to see a Jazz Festival. The first time I visited Sibiu was in 2007, when it was declared the Europe’s Capital of Culture. Going back, it’s streets, nooks and buildings in Old City were still fresh in my mind. We had only Saturday and Sunday to visit, but we didn’t complain, we found a very cute hostel just where we took the above photo, which had breakfast and was very cozy. These are the first photos where you can see my freshly chopped hair, I never stick with long hair, and cut it whenever I feel I need a change. I know, such girl cliché. Continue Reading…

Puss in Boots

November 6, 2015

When I was in London I used to spent a lot of time on the streets, with a coffee or tea in my hand and my camera on my shoulder, eating sushi in Hyde Park, and most importantly looking for any cat related cute stuff to buy and wear. You see, in London you can go out in your underwear if you want to and nobody would notice. It’s such a diverse place that nobody cares. Really, who cares if you wear pink socks with your very casual suit? It’s what make you “you”. But it’s the way you wear them that I’ve always appreciated and that is: with style! I have plenty of cat headbands now, and would like to wear them not just in photos or for Halloween. I like to wear my quirkiness out on full display. Continue Reading…

The Red Nails

October 27, 2015

Two weeks ago I was getting my nails done, as usual, on a Saturday morning. I was so sleepy and tired that I had no idea what colour they were gonna be. Usually I’m excited and have patterns and colours in my mind, imagining what they will look like and how awesome they will photograph. This time my mind was blank. Blank, blank, blank. I struggled with the colour palettes that were in front of me and couldn’t fixate on a colour. It was so unusual for me and blame this on the changing of the seasons and the sun missing in my town. When the moment arrived I said: “Let’s make them red!”… The words just came rolling out of my tongue. Out of nowhere. Red? My boyfriend’s mother wears red and every school teacher I know. Red is for Women. Mothers. Big Spenders. Not me. I’m pink and cute. A girly girl, not a Woman. “Let’s risk it, come on! You’re not married to it, next month it comes off.” The voice inside said.

Tartan (Plaid) For Fall

October 22, 2015

Right now where I live it’s cold, until yesterday very rainy and extremely cloudy. By the looks of it, soon snow will appear and hopefully by December we will have a proper Christmas. Yay! I cannot believe how this year just flew buy. I guess adult life feels so much faster than childhood life. Waiting for Christmas from September to December, after the Summer ended, seemed to take F.O.R.E.V.E.R. when I was a child. Continue Reading…
