Rome Haul


Hello girls, I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! For today I decided to make a little haul post about the stuff I bought in Rome. I didn't go all crazy in the shops, but I absolutely love all the things I've bought!

A few thoughts about shopping in Rome? Well, to be honest I wasn't overly impressed. It was OK (my all time favourite shopping street continues to be Mariahilferstrasse in Vienna). Their main shopping streets are Via del Corso, Via Nazionale and Via Condotti (which is filled with designer shops). Among the high street brands there's Zara, Mango, Guess, Massimo Dutti, Bata, Promod, Levi's and H&M. But there is also a large number of Italian boutiques, some of them being a little pricey. My favourite was named Class; they have beautiful and qualitative clothes, so be sure to check out this pretty boutique if you're there.

Now on to the things I've bough...In terms of clothing I purchased only two things, a lovely studded collar blouse from Zara (finally!!) and the most perfect tan leather jacket from Class. I always wanted a leather jacket which resembled a blazer and which was fitted at the waist and I was lucky enough to find this one at a reasonable price in the sales. The quality of the leather is incredible (after all, Italian leather is famous for its quality), it fits beautifully and it has a gorgeous colour.

The next thing I've bought is a purse from Guess also in beautiful tan colour. I always wanted to own something from Guess but their prices are kind of steep for my budget, therefore when I found this beauty reduced to a reasonable price I jumped at the opportunity.



My next exciting purchase (for me at least) is Urban Decay's Naked Palette which I've been longing for quite some time, but since it is unavailable in my country and because I was reluctant to buy it from the Internet, I waited until my trip to Rome to buy it from their Sephora. It's so beautiful, the colours are gorgeous and perfect for my style.

The last things I bought, are a few YSL makeup products from the duty-free. I bought the Faux Clis Shocking Mascara, the Tough Eclat and a radiant blush. I think my favourite product is the blush because it is half matte half shimmery and it gives your skin a nice pinkish dewy finish.




The end :) Did you like anything in particular? If you want me to review any of the products of if you want more information, feel free to ask. Also, I find it unnecessary to add that I'm by no means trying to brag! It is only the pure joy of sharing my excitement with people who are interested in the same things as I am.

Take care, beauties x

Today I like...

Not one...but two things!

First in line is this gorgeous Zara blouse with studded collar. I know there is a studs madness out there this season and I'm completely in love with this trend. I really really really want this shirt but it's so darn expensive...almost 70 Euros for a shirt? Not good. But maybe I'll buy it as a graduation present? Or I'll keep searching for a cheaper alternative... Either way, I love this rock chic turn on an otherwise average shirt.


The second item I love is this clutch from Asos. I really want a more casual clutch which I can wear during daytime and this one seems to be a good option. The colour is perfect for all seasons and the studs give it a more modern twist. The only downside is that I wanted a slightly oversized clutch but this is more of a normal sized one. But I like it so much nevertheless. It's currently on sale at 28 pounds, reduced from 42. I'm torn so if you have any advice please share :)


I know there haven't been too many posts lately, but I'm working hard to finish my dissertation paper since I have to submit it on Friday. I can't wait to get it over with once and for all! Wish me luck!

Take care loves x

Braided beauty

Who said that only people can have their hair did? Yesterday I met a charming young (horse) lady who had her hair did for a very special event she had to go to and eventually participate in. It was a horse show competition of course and this young lady is not your typical beauty salon client.



We should take some hair tips from this lovely lady, don't you think? After all, horses are the inventors of the pony tail, aren't they? :)


A little treat for the braided lady because she was so beautiful and nice and stylish!
(I had to crop this pic because I'm not sure that my friend would have appreciated the idea of me putting a pic of her on this blog)

Therefore, as if it isn't already obvious, I went to a horse show competition again this weekend and it was great and very exciting! I didn't get the chance to take many pics but I did manage to capture this very unique horse hair style :)

I also snapped a quick OOTD pic before I left the house for the competition. I absolutely love this blouse which I bought this summer and I love how it looks with the denim vest. Unfortunately my camera didn't manage to capture quite clearly the ruffle of the blouse but you can see it better in the above pic. I know I should probably invest in a new camera but this one has so much sentimental value since it has been my companion in all my trips for quite a few years. I'm pretty conservative about my stuff :))


Blouse - United Colors of Benetton
Denim vest - Mango
Jeans - Miss Sixty
Bag - Nine West
Flats - Deichmann


Have a great start of the week!

Lots of Kisses

Lazy sum...autumn evenings

Hello everyone!

With this summary temperatures is hard to know in which season we really are...it's the 8th of September but outside are at least 26 degrees. But honestly I'm not complaining because we will have enough of cold weather in the following months.
Not many interesting things happened this week...just work, a bit of shopping (haul coming soon :)) and lazy walks in the park. A few days ago I (re)discovered a lovely blouse in my wardrobe. I've got it as a present this spring but unfortunately I forgot about it but now I can't stop wearing it. I love its lively print and the fact that it's so comfortable. Now I'm sure I'll never forget about it again :)
So here are a few pics from today (and my new favourite blouse).





Blouse - H&M
Denim shorts - Stradivarius
Bag - Nine West

And here's a pic with one of the park's residents :)


Until next time, lots of kisses!

Stay a Little Longer...

Unfortunately summer is packing her things and is going on holiday for the next...9 months!!! As summer is my favourite season, I'm pretty sad that autumn and winter (brrrr) are coming because this means cold weather, rain and snow... Sure, these cold seasons have their good parts like the gorgeous leaf colours or playing in the snow or cuddling with your loved one while drinking hot chocolate, but nothing compares to summer or to the sunny weather (and summer holidays :P).

However, to my delight, we still have hot weather and I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can by wearing as many summary skirts and dresses as possible!  Therefore, thanks to this (still) lovely weather, I decided to show you what I wore today while running some errands.





Skirt - Peek & Cloppenburg
Blouse - New Yorker
Bag - Nissa
Belt - vintage 


That's it for now. Don't forget to enjoy these last lovely days of  summer! :)
