Today's inspiration & rainy day ramblings

Hello cupcakes!

I hope this nasty weather isn't spoiling your week! I personally hate cold rainy days because they tend to affect my mood; I don't know about you guys, but on these days I feel sleepy, grumpy and bored and I feel like staying indoors rather than going out. This is why in the past few days all I did, except going to work and university, was read lots of magazines, check out my favourite blogs and watch Downton Abbey (I absolutely love the series). And to make the atmosphere more cozy in my room I even bought a few scented candles (lavender and wild cranberries!) because I think they can help you relax so much more!

Unfortunately, from what I've heard the weather will continue to be cold so I've already planned some wardrobe reorganization (out with my last summer clothes and in with autumn/winter clothes) and a small (or big?) shopping spree because I need to buy some stuff ( I really want a trench coat and a few accessories).

Moving on now :) A few days ago I was surfing Glamour's website and found a picture of Pippa Middleton dressed in different shades of brown. Even though I'm not a fan of extreme colour coordination I must admit I really liked the way she matched her clothes and how everything looked on her. I love the dress and how she accentuated her waist with the skinny belt; I really like her signature Modalu bag and her tan boots, but maybe I'm just subjective because I have a similar pair :)) .

I have to say I'm not Pippa's biggest fan because I really don't understand all the hype around her, but  I have to admit that most of the times she has a beautiful style and she can look effortlessly chic.

P.S. how cute is the little pidgin? :X

Until next time, lots of kisses!

Autumn cravings

Hello guys!

Autumn is officially here and now we are left only with our memories of a great summer filled with sun, emotions, destinations and fun. No more vacations because now we have to go back to work/ school/ university.

However, autumn has its positive sides, one of them being the opportunity to renew our wardrobe! And with all the new collections that have already hit the stores it is hard to resist.

Even though the weather continues to be great here, with temperatures around 30 degrees, I couldn't help myself from doing an autumn wishlist, with the pieces of clothing I am most anxious to find and, hopefully, buy :)

Coat - During winter time I love wearing coats because they are not only very stylish but they also keep you warm. The coats that I own are either above the knee or short and this year I would like to find something in between because I believe that this model will suit me better (I'm not very tall you know :P). I found this lovely coat on Zara online but unfortunately it's not in stores yet, therefore I'll have to wait a little longer to see how it really looks and fits.

Tan boots - Besides having a major thing for bags, I also love boots. I don't know why but the majority of my boots are in black (probably because black matches with everything). This winter I hope to find a perfect pair of tan riding boots (unfortunately the ones in the pic are not an option being Chloé, no matter how gorgeous they are :P) because I think they look great and I want to leave my comfort(black) zone.

Cross body black bag - As I previously said, I'm a total bag lady. I think they are essential for any outfit and a beautiful bag can make you stand out on any occasion.  I particularly like cross body bags because they are extremely cute and practical. The bag in the pic is from River Island, but unfortunately there aren't any River Island stores in my country; therefore I'll have to wait and see if this bag is going to be on ASOS so I could order it online. If not, maybe I'll find other cute models to choose from.

Waterfall cardigan - I absolutely love cardigans because they are extremely versatile and can be worn in any season and with any piece of clothing. This season I particularly like the waterfall model because I find it to be very stylish and feminine.

Knitted dress - One of my autumn/winter essentials is the knitted dress. I think it looks great with a pair of knee high boots or with ankle boots. It's the perfect way to stay worm and be feminine at the same time.

Tan leather blazer/jacket - I noticed that this season I developed an obsession for tan colour :D I believe that a leather blazer or jacket is perfect for the period of transition that will arrive soon. The one in the pic is from Promod but I'll have to wait for it to hit the stores because I prefer to see it with my own eyes and avoid being disappointed.

Scarves - Don't you just love a soft worm scarf to wrap around your neck when it's so cold outside? I know I do :P Generally I prefer neutral colors because they match with everything but I wouldn't say no to a strong colour either.

Phew, this has been a looong post :)

What is your autumn wishlist or your autumn essentials?
