Just a normal day at work...or not?!

 Hello guys!

It's been a while since I've done an outfit post, so I thought I should get this 'problem' fixed! Yesterday I had a great day...one of those days when you feel that you can conquer the world! In the  morning I had to go to a conference which was supposed to last until 6 in the evening but fortunately I was able to leave around 2 o'clock because my ultra super interpreter skills were no longer required, so my boss took mercy on me and asked the chauffeur to take me back home, but I asked him to take me downtown because I had some little shopping to do (boy, I could get used to this...a chauffeur at my disposal, a fancy car...you might think I have a fairytale job or something, but I actually don't :)) these types of things happen rarely) Hmmm I wonder when am I going to be able to repeat this diva-like experience again... Mooooooving on now, after buying the things I wanted I returned home (via the glamorous tube this time) and then I went to a birthday party. I wish I could have days like these more often, when everything falls into place and goes swimmingly!

Before I left the house in the morning I snapped a few pictures of what I was wearing.  Because I expected to be stuck to a chair for more than 6 hours I opted for some jeans but I paired them with a ruffled shirt, a navy cardigan, heeled booties and my beautiful Modalu bag so that my outfit would be on the casual smart side. I hope you like the result :)

Cardigan - Peek & Cloppenburg

That's it from me. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Take care x

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!

These boots were made for walking...to the movies

Hello chéries!

I hope you had a lovely weekend! Fortunately for me, this weekend I finally had the time to rest after a pretty busy week. The weather outside was horrible (very cold and rainy brrr) so I decided to spend most of my weekend indoors. Except going to the movies on Saturday night with my boyfriend, I didn't do anything really exciting. We went to see the screening of the latest version of The Three Musketeers. I can't say that it blew me away but it was a nice & fun movie and I enjoyed watching it. I personally prefer the 1993 version to this one because the story is better told and the accent falls more on the plot and on the characters than in this new version where the emphasis is more on the special effects and on the action scenes. This  movie rather tells an old story in a modern way, so don't expect it to be completely faithful to the book or to the historical period in witch the action takes place. But like I said, it is a fun movie to watch :)

I also wanted to show you my outfit  from last night. With the nasty weather outside I finally had the chance to wear my beloved tan boots. I really wanted to feel very comfortable so I paired them with a cozy cardigan, a knitted top and jeans.

Boots - Zara
Cardigan - Mango
Knitted top - Mango
Jeans - Miss Sixty
Bag - Nine West

I really hope that the weather will get better soon because I just can't stand the cold. It makes me want to stay in bed all day :)

I wish you a great start of the week and I'll talk to you very soon!

Kisses

Movie night

Hey there!

I just had one of the most beautiful weekends ever! I had the chance to spend some quality time with my boy and with my friends and I went to an amazing  place (but more of that tomorrow :P). On Saturday evening I went to see Crazy Stupid Love, which was great btw. I haven't seen a good  comedy for a while, but this one really captured me, from the story, the characters and the situations they were faced with to the quality humour and witty lines, I loved it! So I highly recommend it! You will not regret paying those tickets :P

As far as my OOTD is concerned, I wanted to be comfy but chic so I wore one of  my favourite flowy tops, a cardigan, my new black ballet flats (which I absolutely love) and a pair of dark jeans.

Top - H&M

Cardigan - Zara

Jeans - Miss Sixty

Bag - Nissa

Ballet flats -Hogl

Btw, sorry about the not so lovely background, but sometimes I cannot take pics in  some of the places I go to, plus I'm a little (more) shy and I don't like to take pics of myself in public (sometimes with people staring) :))
