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.

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

Style Crush

I never thought I'd say this...but I think I have a style crush on Pippa M. As I told you in a previous post, I don't quite understand all the fuss around her or people's obsession with her, but this can't stop me from appreciating her personal style. Although her style from a few years ago wasn't exactly my cup of tea, I must admit that lately she has been wearing some lovely pieces. I know that a lot of people consider her style as being rather dull or too simple, but I think that this simplicity gives so much charm to her outfits. I really think that less is more and although I do like to experiment with my clothes from time to time, I have to say that I'm a fan of simple and feminine outfits.

   

These are my favourite outfits from her recent outings. I really like the fact that she prefers classic pieces that will never go out of fashion. As I said in my previous posts, I think we should invest more in classic, staple pieces. I sound like an old lady, don't I? :)) 

What's your style crush?

Flower Power

Hello girls!

I can't believe it's finally weekend! I had such a busy week at work and at uni and I'm so happy that it's all over...for now. I can't wait to relaaaax!

Today, after classes, my boy came to pick me up and he had a little surprise for me: a gorgeous flower bouquet! He knows that I absolutely adore flowers and how happy it makes me to receive a flower bouquet, especially when there is no special occasion...for example just because it's Friday :) I previously told him how much I loved the combination between yellow and purple and surprisingly he remembered it and bought me some gorgeous autumn flowers in the above mentioned colours.

Also, a few days ago, while going to work I saw a woman selling some beautiful autumn flowers and I couldn't help myself and bought four bouquets :)) I don't know about you but flowers put an instant smile on my face and they brighten up my day anytime! I love having flowers in my room or in the house all the time.

So, first of all here are the pics from this evening. I've been wearing this trench coat like crazy for the past two weeks because I simply love it! It's such a classic piece! Also, I can't believe how huge my bag look in the pics...I know it is big because it has to carry all my stuff from work plus uni, but I don't see it as being THAT big :))

Trench coat - Zara

Scarf - H&M

Black leather bag - Peek and Cloppenburg

Ballet flats - Hogl

Second of all, here are a few pics with my lovely flowers. They cheer me up every morning when I wake up :)

Aren't they gorgeous? I basically don't have any more vases left without flowers...but I'm so not complaining :)

Have a great weekend!

New trench coat!

Hello girls!

I don't know about you guys, but autumn seems to be the season when I shop the most. And this is a funny thing considering that I absolutely dislike cold weather. But in terms of clothing I think that autumn and winter offer us a great variety of pieces of clothing, from coats and jumpers to dresses, scarves and boots. Also with such a great number of pieces of clothing the combinations for different outfits are endless. See, cold weather has it's bright side :)

Until now I didn't buy so many stuff for the cold season, partly because the weather has been very hot for this period and partly because I'm trying to limit my shopping to basic or classic pieces of clothing that will not go out of trend after a season or two. I confess that this resolution of mine doesn't always work but at least I'm really willing to stick to it (most of the time)!  

Anyway,  on Friday I went shopping because I was searching for a shorter trench coat and luckily for me I managed to find it at Zara. The quality is great and I think it's a good value for the money I paid.

It's such a classic piece and I love love love it! And it has the perfect length for my high :) Success! Also it is perfect for this horrible cold and rainy weather.

Until next time,

lots of kisses!

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

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!

Tan Leather Boots (finally!)

Hello lovelies!

Breaking news! I found the perfect pair of tan boots! :)) Sorry guys, but I'm so excited when I finally find something I wanted so badly! I've been looking for a nice pair of tan boots for over a month but I just couldn't find one...I mean there were tan boots but not what I wanted because they were either too chunky or with too many buckles. And I wanted something classic that would go perfectly both with a pair of jeans and with a dress or a skirt. 

So this week after work I popped into Zara to see what was new and bang!...a pair of gorgeous tan leather boots was there (waiting for me of course)! They fitted perfectly and looked great on my leg (they even made me look a bit taller hurray!). Therefore, I bought them and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I rarely find a boot that suits me this well. They have a gorgeous model and I think they will be a huge hit and a lot of people will buy them.

I think that deep down inside I knew that Zara would rescue me again!  I know I may sound so melodramatic but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who gets so excited when finding something I really wanted for so long. It's in women's DNA so there's nothing we can do about it, is there now? :)

So without further rambling here are THE BOOTS: 

I really like the zip at the back because I think this detail gives them a particular charm.  I also love the fact that their colour is sort of a reddish brown and not a beige brown because it makes them stand out more. I think they will look great with everything and I can't wait to wear them!

Do you have any favourite pair of boots?

Lots of kisses

NOTD - Percolated Pink

Today I have a quick NOTD for you, guys. The nail polish which I'm going to show you is from Max Factor, shade  no. 732 "Percolated Pink" from their nailfinity range . This is one of my favourite colours of all time and I have been repurchasing it ever since it appeared one or two years ago. I simply love the colour...it's a dusty pink and you can wear it no matter the season you're in. It love the fact that it looks so elegant on my nails but also the fact that it has a good staying power of almost a week. Moreover it comes with a nice price tag too. It costs around 7 euros and bearing in mind its lasting power, the good quality, the nice shine and the lovely colour it's not much at all.

This is one nail polish I'll definitely keep repurchasing because I absolutely like everything about it!

Lots of kisses
