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 

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

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 :)

Shirt - Mango

Cardigan - Peek & Cloppenburg

Jeans - Miss Sixty

Booties - Nine West

Bag - Modalu

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

Take care x

New in: Nine West Black Leather Boots

I'm swamped with uni work at the moment and I barely have time do do anything...2 more weeks until it's over. Seems like forever! Meanwhile my social life is basically on hold and, as usual, in this period I feel like going out daily and doing all sorts of stuff...except studying or writing projects. Like now for example, I'm supposed to do a portfolio with a huuuuge number of translations....but I'm blogging :D

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went sale shopping last week and among the things I bought was a pair of black leather boots! You've probably noticed my love for Nine West shoes, but unfortunately they usually have humongous price tags. So this is why the best time to shop from them is during the sales. This particular pair of boots caught my eye around October or November but I decided to wait for the sales because 1. they were ridiculously expensive, 2. I had just bought my pair of brown Zara boots and 3. I have enough pairs of boots (says the rational part of me). So when I entered Nine West last week and saw that they had a 50% discount I knew I was right to wait for them! The main reason I bought them is because they have the most comfortable heel ever; and also because they are another classic piece I should have in my wardrobe: simple, black, relatively small heel, plus they go with everything.

So here they are: Nine West black 'Mora' boots!

 This New Look t-shirt is another recent purchase. I couldn't resist the photo it has on its front side!

Also, I wanted to add that my special package arrived this week! It is amazing! Unfortunately, I had to put it away because I only have access to it in February :))

What could it be? ;;)

Recess over :( Time to go back to my 'wonderful' translations.

Good luck to everyone who is going through the exam period!

Lots of kisses

New Look Waterfall Cardigan

Hello everyone!

Today I have another OOTD for you. The title of my post could have easily been "same boots, different days", since in my previous outfit post I was also wearing them. Actually, I've been wearing them quite a lot because they are my favourite winter piece, so excuse me if I repeat myself in my outfit posts, but i think they are so versatile I can basically wear them with everything.

Anyway, returning to the star of today's post, I thought I should finally show you my New Look waterfall cardigan which I ordered on-line about 3 weeks ago.  I've been looking for a waterfall cardigan for ages and I'm so glad I finally found this one! I think its turquoise colour looks great with an all black outfit and with a pair of tan boots. Unfortunately, my hair covered the brooch I accessorised the cardigan with :( It is a family jewel (as I like to call it) and when I was little I used to adore it and was so jealous on my mom whenever she was wearing it. But it's mine now muhahaha!

So this was my outfit from last night when I went out with one my friends.

 

And here's a separate pic of my gold parrot brooch. As I said, I used to love it when I was little, and I still do :)

Do you have any piece of jewelry with sentimental value?

That's a wrap for today! Have a great rest of the week! xx

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.

Cardigan - Zara

Dress - Zara

Belt - H&M

Printed tights - H&M

Boots - Zara

Bag - Nine West

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!

Perfect late autumn day

Hello cupcakes!

Yesterday was my name day anniversary and I had a wonderful time with my boyfriend and my beautiful family! I was so lucky because yesterday was a gorgeous sunny autumn day and I had the chance to go for a walk in one of my favourite parks (I wanted to go since ages but I've been mega busy with work, I even had to go on Saturday because we had an emergency); so yesterday was somewhat of a bonus :) The park looked great with all the trees "dressed" in gorgeous colours and with the sun peeking from between the leaves. Afterwords, we went for some drinks in a lovely pub and in the evening we had a great home-cooked dinner with my family.

Moreover, I received some gorgeous flowers (my house is again full of flowers :X) and some beautiful presents, among which some Sephora goodies, a great pair of leather gloves and a lovely knitted jumper (you'll be seeing them featured on my blog in future posts)! I was so spoilt and had an amazing time! So thank you to all the people who made this day so special!

Also, here are a few pics from yesterday.

 (I have no idea what I was trying to do in this pic)

Aren't the trees just gorgeous? Even though I'm a summer person I must admit that sunny autumn days are simply amazing :)

Talk to you soon

Lots of kisses
