Spring is Here!

 

 

Hello girls! I know it's been a while since I last posted, but here I am again with a spring outfit post :D We had a lovely weather last weekend so I decided to play the tourist in my own city and take a long walk in the old city centre. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took some pictures of my favourite places in Bucharest. I'll show you some of them in a future post, I promise :)

 

I also took some outfit pictures since I was wearing a bit of colour, perfect for a sunny spring day. I couldn't pass the opportunity of wearing my bright scarf from Zara, which I bought last summer and which was perfect for the occasion. The mint jumper is a recent buy from H&M. I love this colour I couldn't wait to show it to you. I'm pretty sure they still have it in the shops, so if you like it too, run to your nearest H&M and try it on :) The rest...you've seen it before in previous posts, except maybe the leather jacket. I adore it! It's so soft and the colour is perfect. It's definitely in my top 5 favourite clothing pieces.

 



Scarf - Zara

Jumper - H&M

Leather jacket - from my trip to Rome

Cross body bag - River Island

Jeggins - Zara

Boots - Ken's Shoes

 

I practically lived in this jegging this winter. They are the most comfortable pair of pants I own. This is why they appear in all of my outfit posts. Just felt the need to point that out :))

Anyway, have a lovely rest of the week!

Lots of love

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

OOTD: Layering

Hello loves,

It seems that the cold weather has returned and from what I've heard it will not leave us very soon. Hence, back to warmer clothes unfortunately...Just when I hoped that I've seen the last of my sweaters and boots. But spring tends to be fickle so this comes as no surprise really.

Anyway, I really liked the outfit I've worn today for work so I decided to snap a few pictures before I left for the hairdressers in the afternoon (my ends needed a little trimming).

   

This is one of my favourite sweaters due to its loose fit and its waterfall-like ends. It's from H&M and I bought it more than a year ago along with the scarf, and both of the items remained some of my favourite pieces. The jacket is from Orsay from the current collection. It has a gorgeous tan colour and it quickly became one of my staple pieces for this season. 

The rest of my outfit consists of a River Island bag, a pair of Lee black jeans and Bata suede booties. Looking now at the pictures I realise that most of the items I wore today are among my favourite items in my wardrobe; probably this is why I loved this outfit so much.

That's it from me. I hope there's warm and sunny where you are right now and you're enjoying the weekend!

Lots of kisses x

Outfit for a Relaxed Saturday & New Jewelry Holder

Happy weekend everyone!

Today the weather was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't waste my day indoors. Therefore I went out for a stroll and a bit of shopping for some spring clothes. The walk in the old city centre was great and relaxing and the shopping went pretty well as I managed to find some beautiful pieces over at Zara. I finally managed to get my hands on a mint coloured blouse yeeey! (mint, where have thou been all my life??) There were a lot of gorgeous clothes in the store and if I had the necessary resources I would have left the store with a huge number of pieces of clothing. So if you are looking for some new additions to your spring wardrobe, then you should definitely go and check out the stuff over at Zara.

Here is what I wore on this beautiful Sunday afternoon (I took the photos with my Blackberry, therefore the quality is not that great...but the battery from my camera died).

Jacket - Orsay

Sweater - Stradivarius

Scarf - H&M

Bag - Nine West

Boots - Zara

Some candy coloured goodies from Zara. I love the pastel trend for this season since I've always been a fan of pastel shades. The current spring/ summer season seems to be extremely feminine with all those flowy materials, flower prints and candy shades!

The last thing I wanted to show you is my new jewelry holder, which is actually a mug holder but I think it does a great job at holding my necklaces.

I really needed something to put my necklaces and long pendants on and this mug holder is brilliant. It stores lots of jewelry and I think it also looks quite nice too. So next time you visit the kitchenware department pay extra attention to all the frying pans, forks or pots since who knows in what other ways then can be useful. Just kidding :))

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Take care x

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?
