after work bargains

One of my vices is to go shopping from work, mainly cos on my way home I pass all the good shops... Today I just had to pop in Zara and did some bargain finds

Cardigan 7 euros 

Leather bag 45 euros 

So I put up an outfit for work tomorrow, just something relaxed and comfy (thank god my workplace is really laid back and don't have to wear any kind of uniform). 

Cardigan and bag Zara, shorts Gant, sandals and white top H&M

Accessories: second hand watch (and a golden necklace but couln't find it for the photo!)

What's your favourite outfit for work?

serious shoe envy

I visited Rachel Zoe's FB page, and there was a picture of her studio...

Oh well, one day I'll have that many pairs of shoes and a closet to match.
Enjoy your weekend dear reader!

It's good to be back! I started this blog a year and a half ago, and while reading my older posts before writing this one I noticed that my style has changed quite a lot during this time. The basics are still there but some things are essentially different.

When I started my style was very bohemian influenced, now it's a mix between laidback jeans girl and the city girl who appreciates the classics like white shirts and tailored jackets. Two summers summers ago my go-to piece would have been a floral dress, now its been boyfriend shorts, nude heels and a stripy loose top. The two neclaces I bought this week (pictured above) capture my current style essentials pretty well: the other is chic, big and chunky, while the other is more fun, pretty and girly.

Having that said, roughly a year ago I wrote a post about my dream bag, which was (and still is) Mulberry Bayswater. I also wrote that that bag would be my first designer bag I would buy. Well that turned out to be untrue, cos here's my first buy, the LV Speedy 25.

It's "vintage" from 1995. I love it, even though I know the Monogram patterned bags are the most copied of all the designer bags... But I think it's so versatile, classic and goes with everything. Of course you are allowed to disagree!

From now on I'll be around a bit more in the blogging world... got my inspiration back!

PS. The pictures of my old posts are a bit off, that's because I changed the layout of the blog. If this is your first visit to my blog and thinking whether you like it or not, hope you don't mind!

new year!

Hello guys and happy new year! I hope 2010 is good for all of you. I'm sure it will be good for my blog too, I'm planning to start doing sort of 'outfit of the day' posts and post more my own photos instead of commenting what celebs wore (but gonna have those posts too for sure, I can't silence my inner commentator). So by blog in 2010 will feature what I think is pretty, comfortable and stylish to wear. Hope you will like it!

sweet and cute

Okay guys it's been two months since my last post. I have been taking a break because I have been busy with organising my internship in the capital and finishing my last courses at school. But now I'm back again, but I know for sure I will never be one of those bloggers who post every day, or even every other day. I just don't have time and also not enough to say! But I should be able to post a bit more often that every two months...!

I wanted to share with you my obsession with one of my style icons; Lauren Conrad. I love her style, it's girly, preppy and overall very adorable. I used to be very boho-chick type, but lately my style has turned to more simple yet chic, like Lauren's.

Okay have a great weekend everyone! xx

i wanna live in a dreamworld

A girl can dream!

Today I booked my tickets to Amsterdam, Holland! I'm so excited, I get to see all my friends I haven't seen in 6 months! Have a nice week!

no colour is a lot of colour

I picked these pictures from the Halston Spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection, because I liked how simple yet beautiful the pieces are. White is a powerful colour too!

helsinki

My obsession with street style blogs continues. Here's my pics from a Finnish site HEL LOOKS which photographs the stylish people of Helsinki, Finland. (Click to enlarge).

Tomorrow I will start my healthy week (and hopefully the rest of my life): I will exercise (our school has a new and FREE gym and a swimming pool), eat more fruit and veg, and think positive thoughts. I believe when a person is overall happy, he/she will be healthier too. I'm glad my roommate doesn't eat meat (except fish and shrimp) and as we cook together and eat the same food I have noticed how I don't even miss eating meat at all! It's cheaper, better for the environment and better for you! PS. I have already drastically cut down my smoking, my ultimate goal is to quit for good. Wish me luck!

Have a good week lovelies!

home sweet home

Marimekko is a Finnish company that designs clothes and fabrics. These pictures are from their F/W 2009 catalog. Their desings look so pretty, cosy and kind of Scandinavian with a Finnish country house twist... I wish could live in that house! See their pages here.

And I have a new baby now...

And I love it!
