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

Clarins face powder & Sephora present

Hello girls!

Today I want to show you my new Clarins compact face powder and a few bits and bobs. As I told you before, I'm all for a natural look, therefore I wanted a light and soft face powder which could give my skin a healthy, matte finish. I'm very pleased with this powder and I think that the description from its packaging suits it perfectly, because it really has "an ultra light texture which melts into the skin for a natural, velvety finish" and it "evens the complexion in a subtle, soft veil". So much poetry :)) To make things simpler, these are the words that describe it best: light, natural, soft, comfort and subtle. So if you are searching for a powder which can give you all of these, here it is!  It comes in three shades and I have no 30 Beige sable/ Sandy beige.

Next, I wanted to show you the little present I received from Sephora and Givenchy. Because I recently purchased some products from Givenchy, they offered me (and many other customers of course) a free make-up bag, some brushes (except the face brush the rest of them are really tiny and kinda useless) and an anti-wrinkle cream sample (which I'm gonna give to my mum).

I really like the make-up bag; it was perfect timing because I was actually searching for a new one.

And last but not least I wanted to tell you that My New Look order arrived yesterday and the cardigan looks great! It has a gorgeous lively colour that will make any outfit stand out. I must say I expected it to be shorter, but I like it nevertheless. Here is a sneak peek...the rest in a future outfit post :D

That's all lovelies!

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?
