NYE Outfit

 

Happy New Year, lovelies! I hope 2013 is going to be exactly as you imagine it to be and more! Just a quick outfit post to show you what I wore yesterday evening. And what other pose says winter holidays better than the traditional "next to the Christmas tree" pose? I just couldn't resist it :) Anyway, I chose this gorgeous black lace dress from Topshop (you can find it here) which actually arrived just a few days before the big night. It is so flattering and qualitative and it has become my favourite party dress. Accessory wise, I opted for a golden statement necklace from New Look and a cocktail ring.

For my make-up I chose a golden-bronzy smoky eye with nude lips, but unfortunately my "amazing" phone wasn't able to capture it properly...

 

At midnight I went to the city centre to watch the beautiful fireworks show which lasted around 15 minutes. I had a beautiful night spent with the persons which matter the most to me. I hope you too had a wonderful night and that you are going to have an amazing 2013!

Lots of love x

 

Floral Maxi Dress

Hello sweeties, what have you been up to lately? I've been at the seaside for the past couple of days and I had a delightful time! The weather was great for the most part, I had a lot of fun and I got a great tan. I would really love to live in a city which is located by the sea because I adore the sea, the sunny weather and the long, beautiful walks on the beach.

For a lovely dinner I've chosen to wear my new maxi dress from New Look which I've bought right before I left on holiday. It has a beautiful floral print and a nice flowy chiffon material and the waist is emphasised by a slim brown belt. The clutch I'm wearing is also a new addition, I bought it two or three weeks ago from Asos and what I love about it, except is colour and beautiful design, is the fact that I can wear it from day to night. I think it is a great choice for the dress, since it creates a much needed contrast.

Maxi dress - New Look

Clutch - Johnny Loves Rosie (Asos)

Bracelets - Accessorize & Six

I really love this dress and I feel great while wearing it.  It's definitely one of my favourite summer dresses. What about you? What is your favourite piece for summer?

Lots of love x

New in: Nine West Black Leather Boots

I'm swamped with uni work at the moment and I barely have time do do anything...2 more weeks until it's over. Seems like forever! Meanwhile my social life is basically on hold and, as usual, in this period I feel like going out daily and doing all sorts of stuff...except studying or writing projects. Like now for example, I'm supposed to do a portfolio with a huuuuge number of translations....but I'm blogging :D

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went sale shopping last week and among the things I bought was a pair of black leather boots! You've probably noticed my love for Nine West shoes, but unfortunately they usually have humongous price tags. So this is why the best time to shop from them is during the sales. This particular pair of boots caught my eye around October or November but I decided to wait for the sales because 1. they were ridiculously expensive, 2. I had just bought my pair of brown Zara boots and 3. I have enough pairs of boots (says the rational part of me). So when I entered Nine West last week and saw that they had a 50% discount I knew I was right to wait for them! The main reason I bought them is because they have the most comfortable heel ever; and also because they are another classic piece I should have in my wardrobe: simple, black, relatively small heel, plus they go with everything.

So here they are: Nine West black 'Mora' boots!

 This New Look t-shirt is another recent purchase. I couldn't resist the photo it has on its front side!

Also, I wanted to add that my special package arrived this week! It is amazing! Unfortunately, I had to put it away because I only have access to it in February :))

What could it be? ;;)

Recess over :( Time to go back to my 'wonderful' translations.

Good luck to everyone who is going through the exam period!

Lots of kisses

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
