New Look Waterfall Cardigan

Hello everyone!

Today I have another OOTD for you. The title of my post could have easily been "same boots, different days", since in my previous outfit post I was also wearing them. Actually, I've been wearing them quite a lot because they are my favourite winter piece, so excuse me if I repeat myself in my outfit posts, but i think they are so versatile I can basically wear them with everything.

Anyway, returning to the star of today's post, I thought I should finally show you my New Look waterfall cardigan which I ordered on-line about 3 weeks ago.  I've been looking for a waterfall cardigan for ages and I'm so glad I finally found this one! I think its turquoise colour looks great with an all black outfit and with a pair of tan boots. Unfortunately, my hair covered the brooch I accessorised the cardigan with :( It is a family jewel (as I like to call it) and when I was little I used to adore it and was so jealous on my mom whenever she was wearing it. But it's mine now muhahaha!

So this was my outfit from last night when I went out with one my friends.

 

And here's a separate pic of my gold parrot brooch. As I said, I used to love it when I was little, and I still do :)

Do you have any piece of jewelry with sentimental value?

That's a wrap for today! Have a great rest of the week! xx

Red & Black

I know I haven't done an OOTD for quite some time but lately it has become really hard to take outfit photos outside due to the fact that a) it's really cold  and b) it gets dark at 4 30 pm. So my apologies for the boring indoor background but this is the only way and place where I'm able to take decent outfit photos without freezing :D So this "lovely" door is going to be quite the star of my pics for the next period of time.

Today I went to a cute Italian restaurant to eat some pastas and I really liked my outfit choice, so I thought I could share it with you. I just love the combination between red and black and I was so delighted to finally find this red cardigan at Zara (I've been searching for it for ages). I added a simple black dress, tan boots and a lovely pair of H&M printed tights and I was ready to go.

In other news, I'm almost done with Christmas shopping, fact which makes me a really relaxed and happy person. I've bought all the presents for everybody and I'm almost done with buying decorations, but tomorrow I'm going to purchase the last remaining bits. So yeah, I was lucky to escape most of the madness this year!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this beautiful (and stressful) time of the year!

Vienna Haul

Hello lovelies!

How are your Christmas preparations going? I've started decorating my apartment little by little but I'll save the Christmas tree for the 24th of December (I've always decorated it on this day). Right now I've lit a scented candle and I'm listening to some Christmas music and I'm feeling even more festive than usual :P What can I do? The Christmas bug has caught me completely :)

So today I wanted to make a Vienna haul. I didn't buy too many clothes because unfortunately (for me) I didn't manage to find the things I wanted, such as a wool camel coat, a party dress and a leather tan tote bag. I mean, there were tons of shops with tons of clothes but I didn't want to waste my money on stuff I already had. This is why I've bought only a few sweaters, a super cute lace dress, a ruffled blouse and jewelry from Forever 21 (they have the best jewelry!). Apart from these, I've both a lot of sweets and gingerbread from the Christmas markets and they are simply delicious; and gorgeously decorated. I've saved a few for Christmas day but I really hope that I'm not going to eat them until then :))

Anyway, after I returned, I threw everything I bought on my bed and took a few pics before I put all of them away.  

From left to right: Zara red cardigan, Forever 21 ruffled  blouse, Forever 21 lace & pleated dress, Tally Weijl sweater and Forever 21 sweater

My favourites are the dress and the blouse. I love their texture and the colours are simply gorgeous. I have a new brand crush: Forever 21. They have the cutest clothes and the most gorgeous jewelry! Forgive my enthusiasm but we don't have Forever 21 where I live so I don't have the chance to shop from them very often.

I wanted to add that shopping in Vienna is great, because you have so many great shops to choose from (Peek & Cloppenburg, Forever 21, Zara, Mango, H&M, Humanic, Promod, Pimkie, Orsay, Tally Weijland and so on) and both Mariahilferstarsse and Kartner Strasse are the best shopping streets in the world (but that's just my opinion of course). Vienna should offer me a free vacation for all this positive advertising :))

I think in the next post I'm going to share with you a few travelling tips (where to stay, where to eat, what to visit, etc.).

Anyway, if you're not interested, just skip these posts. I'm doing them because first of all, I adore this city and I love talking about it, second of all, maybe there are people who are as passionate about  Vienna as I am and we can share thoughts and impressions and third of all, maybe there are people who want to go to there and want to know more things about it, so maybe these posts can be helpful.

Talk to you soon! Back to decorating!

Vienna in December

Guten tag everybody!

I'm back from my trip to Vienna and I already want back. This is my favourite place in the world and I would absolutely like to live there someday. I love the architecture, the atmosphere, the people, its elegance, its history, EVERYTHING! Even though this was my third visit, I still haven't had enough of it and I would go again there gladly! Needless to say that in winter the city looks like it came out of a fairytale book, with its Christmas markets, its beautiful lights, its gorgeously decorated shops and so on.

I had a great time, but I have to say I came back pretty tired and with a terrible cold. Why tired? Well, because we used to leave the hotel at 11 o'clock and return at 6 and then leave again at 6:30 or 7 and come back at 9:30 or 10! Daily! It's such a lovely city which has so many places to visit and even though you've been there before, it's impossible not to visit those amazing places all over again. Why did I come back with a nasty cold? I have no idea :( I mean it was cold, but not freezing, it was pretty bearable (around 5 degrees Celsius). But I don't care because it's a Viennese cold as I like to call it. Silly, I know :)

So if you ever have the chance to go to Vienna, no matter the season, just go! Don't think about it twice because you'll never regret it!

Now shall we proceed with the photos? Be prepared for a huuuge number of pics :)
