Indian Summer Nights

 

 

Happy 1st of October, I hope this is going to be an amazing month for all of us! At the moment we are experiencing some sort of a heatwave in Bucharest with temperatures of 30 degrees. I never thought I would be wearing shorts in October and other summary clothes but our weather never ceases to amaze us. I must say I absolutely love this weather but in a way I miss those chilly autumn days and my autumn wardrobe.

 

Anyway, this is what I wore a few days ago to a lovely Lebanese dinner. I know these are not the best of outfit pics but since you can have dinner only in the evening I had to settle with these night time photos. I know this is not a very glamorous outfit but I chose to be more comfortable...more me, hence I chose a pair of denim shorts, ballet flats and a sequined sweater to jazz up my outfit a bit. I love this sweater and I cannot wait to wear it more. Also, if the bag looks familiar to you it's maybe because I have the same one in white, but I loved it so much that I decided to buy the black version also.

 

 

Sweater - Zara

Denim shorts - Stradivarius

I know this is a rather simple look but I felt great wearing it. I am sure you've noticed by now that I prefer simple outfits and that I am no fashion maverick. But this is my style and I love it nevertheless. Give me a pair of fitted jeans, a nice blouse and some ballet flats and I'm ready to conquer the world :))

Have a beautiful week x



Déjà Vu

 

Hello, beautiful people! Today's OOTD consists of pieces of clothing which you have seen in previous outfit posts, hence the title of "déjà vu". These are some of my favourite pieces and when I like something and feel very comfortable in the respective piece, I tend to wear it...a lot!

 

Yesterday I went to see a movie in the evening and I was pretty tired, thus I chose a very comfy outfit which included a pair of ripped jeans, ballet flats, my new embellished top and my much loved Modalu bag. So yeah, I think this is the perfect type of outfit when you want to go out but want to dress cosy without looking drab. Also, please excuse the very tired face...it was Monday...I rest my case :D

Embellished Top

Hello girls! I hope you are having a great weekend! A few days ago we had a national bank holiday and I had the day off from work. Thus I decided to go and buy my little niece some lovely presents for her birthday and then I went for a walk in the park. The top I'm wearing was a treat to myself, being such a good auntie, and it's my newest love. It has some beautiful embellishments on the shoulders and I really like its dusty pink shade. I love how it looks on my skin. Also the dropped shoulder was another plus. I paired it with a some white shorts, a fringed suede bag and some grey flats. Even though the outfit is really simple and laid back, I love how it looks.

Top - Stradivarius

Have a great rest of the weekend! Take care x

Windy Day by the Sea

Hello girls! For today I have another outfit from my trip to the seaside. I was away for five days and the weather was great except for one day when it was windy and rather chilly. I took these photos on that particular day when I decided to take a long walk on the beach and admire the rather stormy sea. I really like how the photos turned out, even thought my hair was all over my face because of the strong wind.

Shirt - Massimo Dutti

Jeans - Zara

OOTD - Zara Chiffon Sweater

You probably know by now how much I love my new Zara chiffon sweater. This is why I tried to wear it as much as I could before the weather turned really hot. I think this is my favourite clothing item at the moment because I adore (yes, adore!) everything about it. Its colour, its design, its pattern, its length...you name it.

For today's OOTD I decided to wear it with a pair of Zara skinny jeans, nude ballet flats and my River Island tassel bag (another favourite of mine). I've worn this outfit yesterday to run some errands and for a late evening walk in the nearby park.

 

(my 'take the damn picture' face)

I'm so happy I've bought it because this is a great item which I can wear on numerous occasions. So if you see it in your local Zara don't hesitate to buy it since it is really versatile and beautiful.

On a different note, I can't wait to finish my dissertation....just a few more weeks and I'm done. I'm completely bored and tired of all the writing and I want to go on a holiday so badly!!

And in order to cheer me up in the meantime, I went shoe shopping! Horrible excuse, I know, but I needed some flat sandals for the summer and I managed to find some gorgeous ones, along with a new pair of ballet flats. Oops...they were on sale and I've been eyeing them for quite some time and I just couldn't resist the temptation. My wallet is not too happy about it, but I sure am!

Hope you're going to have a fantastic weekend!

Talk to you soon x

A walk in the botanical garden

Hello loves,

I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was pretty low key, on Saturday I did some uni work and on Sunday I went to have a walk with my boyfriend in the botanical garden. The weather was great, even though it's pretty hot for May. We expected to have 30 degrees in June or July and not now. The garden looked lovely, with lots of beautiful flowers and blossomed trees. When I was little my mother always used to take me here because it was one of my favourite places. So I have a lot of sweet memories regarding this place.

I finally managed to take some outdoor outfit posts; you know I hate taking outfit pics outside because I feel silly, but the background was really beautiful and a park is always a great place to take photos. I think it's because I feel less awkward when I see that other people are also taking pictures around me :)).

This was one of the first outings for my new River Island front tassel cross body bag and I just wanted to say how much  I like it! It has a gorgeous design and it's perfect for summer thanks to its light colours. Another thing I  like about it is its size, because it's a little more spacious than your average mini cross body bag and this means I can stuff it with even more useless things whithout which us girls wouldn't feel complete when going out.

On to the outfit pics now...

Silk blouse - H&M// Bag - River Island// Jeans - Miss Sixty// Ballet flats - Nine West

 

How beautiful is this last picture? The tree seems to have something magical about it thanks to its beautiful white flowers, doesn't it?

That's it from me guys, have a great start of the week! x

Tennis OOTD

Hello girls,

I hope everybody is having a great & sunny Sunday! I can't believe that there are 30 degrees outside on the 29th of April. This is completely mad! I'm not sure how much this high temperatures will last, but in the meantime I'm in such a holiday mood and I all I want to do is...nothing! Just relax, go to the seaside and hang out with my friends. But, the horrible dissertation won't give me peace, so I have to ignore the beautiful weather and stop procrastinating and get to work.

Anyway, today I wanted to show you what I wore on Friday when I went to a tennis match. Since I went to see the match right after work, I opted for a smart casual outfit.

I paired a stripped top from H&M with a printed scarf also from H&M and with a pair of dark skinny jeans from Miss Sixty. Because I knew I was going to return home in the evening I took my favourite Promod jacket which I bought around two years ago. I then added two of my favourite pieces from my wardrobe, namely my Nine West nude flats and my much adored Modalu Toffee Pippa bag. Normally I would have opted for a smaller bag or a cross body bag, but since I had to go to work first I needed a more spacious bag and my Modalu was just perfect. I just love this bag so much. It's so beautiful and....perfect! The shape, the colour, the size, its design...I love everything about it! (if you haven't seen my review of the bag, check it out here)

Congratulation to our boys for winning such a beautiful match!

So this is it, I hoped you liked the outfit! Have a great start of the week and for the ones who, like me, are on an extended weekend thanks to the public holiday, have loads of fun! x

Nine West nude ballet flats & some chit chat

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I had an amazing day...one of those days that get better and better as the hours pass by. I just love love love these kind of days! But then again, who doesn't? I started the day with some great news from work regarding a much awaited  Easter bonus yeeey! Moreover, I received a notification from River Island informing me that they had free international delivery for 48 hours!! Of course I considered this as a sign from Heavens that I should order the front tassel cross body bag over which I've been obsessing for the past month. Theeeen, after I left work I met up with one of my friends and went to a shopping centre because I wanted to buy a pair of nude ballet flats from Nine West (they had 20% off the current season for the holidays)! Therefore, I bought this gorgeous pair of flats as a gift to myself for Easter. And what better way to spend a bonus than on a present...even if it is for myself, right? :)

I also went to H&M, where I had a lovely surprise since I finally managed to get my hands on their famous feather ring (which is gorgeous)! Then we went to a lovely restaurant where we had some pastas and some quality girl time. But there was one more surprise waiting for me at home, namely my Elf brushes which came by post in the afternoon. Personally I don't like to spend too much money on brushes, so the Elf ones are perfect for me.

So yeah, this was my beautiful day. I know it didn't consist of something remarkable for mankind or anything, but it was a great day for me and precisely because these type of days are pretty rare, you come to appreciate them even more.

Anyway, enough with the talking, time for some pictures now. First in line are my nude Nine West ballet flats. They are so pretty and sweet, the leather is really soft and the colour is beautiful. Plus, the 20% off made them even more beautiful!

Next up, my new H&M feather ring

And, last but not least I wanted to show you my Elf flat powder brush. It's super soft and I'm really pleased with it. I use it to apply my mineral Sephora foundation (my favourite foundation) and it does a great job.

This is it, lovelies. I want to wish everybody a very Happy Easter filled with joy and special moments! And enjoy the short holiday!

Lots of love x
