Inspiring Spring Summer Looks

 Images Source

Even thought I enjoy fashion and don't always follow the "rules" in wearing whats "in season" (I just go along with things I feel comfortable and looks good on me), but I get really excited when seasons change because somehow that change translate too into how I dress. I always prefer fall/autumn clothing...you know sweaters, leggings, scarfs, beanies. As you can see in the pretty pictures above, I have just discovered a new designer called Betina Lou and I'm in love with the Spring Summer and Fall-Winter 2014 lookbooks. Everything looks so well put together, so simple and yet inspiring and interesting. I'm already a fan from what I've seen on their site. Now I just need to make a wish-list and hopefully soon will go out and buy some things I need (like dresses and skirts for the spring - but maybe that wont happen and I will end up buying more books, mugs and coffee haha).

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think we should always be thankful everyday and feel blessed for all the people we meet and things we have achieved in our lives, and I always try my best to tell all my loved ones how special they truly are. But today on Thanksgiving day I'm very thankful for my family & friends. I feel very blessed to have them all in my life. Oh, and that includes my lovely/cute/fluffy doggys - Peggy & Sandy. What are you thankful for?

& to all my blog readers thank you for being awesome & have a lovely day! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn

I think if you've read my blog for a while you can tell Autumn is by far my favorite season. It just the way it is, the way it transforms my surrounding into a magical place. I'll start with the weather and the trees. When Autumn comes the mornings start to get more colder just perfect to wake up with a sweater on and have a cup of coffee. And if I wake up early enough to watch the sunrise even better! I love how I can start layering up and change the colors of the clothes to match the season, my favorite accessory is a scarf. I have a little bit obsession with scarfs (well I have lots of obsessions) I need it in every color, prints, length, textures, they're lots to choose from. The other best part of changing seasons is the home decorations. We take out our box full of autumn decorations consisted of lots of leaves, candles, the colors reds, mustard. It makes everything feel like "holidays are around the corner!". I think I can continue mentioning reasons why I love this season. I will stop for now (I'm very sure I'll end up writing (unintentionally) more in another post haha)...but if you want to share. What's your favorite part about Fall/Autumn?

Hello, October!

 "October's the month
When the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins,
Leaves sailing down —
October is red
And golden and brown."
-Author Unknown

September flew by very fast! Not a lot happened (except uni work and exams), but sure it was fun. Especially this last weekend that I got to spent time with some friends. We all needed some free time to get away from our homework's and just talk. We went to a lake in our hometown, we thought it would be a great place to relax. It was very sunny and hot (autumn weather please come soon!) but very beautiful and there were lots of birds and we even saw a turtle! (which I got a little bit to excited if I'm honest). The lake closed very early so we decided to drive to the beach to have a little picnic. Nothing to fancy just some chips and cheese. Then for the evening we decided to go to the movies and while we waited we went to a coffee shop that I've never been before. The place was very lovely, can't remember the name right now (I need to look it up) and all the tables had pretty decoration with candles. I had some hot chocolate and was really good, I want to go back very soon. I'm still without camera so sorry for the lack of pictures. Oh, and that reminds me. I made my friends to go with me to Best Buy to check out the cameras haha I think they didn't mind (I hope) but they don't get excited over cameras as much as I do!

Now, let's see what October bring us! 

Have a lovely day!

Inspiration for Fall

style one: x | x | x | x   style two: x | x | x | x | x   style three: x | x | x

Fall clothing is definitely my favorite kind of clothing. I just love wearing cozy sweaters, leggings, having an excuse to wear lots of black and burgundy and of course layering. So today on the first day of fall i was browsing the internet, looking for some inspiration and making a dream list (let's face it, a lot of this pieces are way out of my budget. But hey, a girl can dream!) Then I put the pieces all together & ta-da! I know there's lots of white and black. I just love the combination of both and how simple and elegant they can make any outfit look. But I will try some prints for sure even if it's not my "fort".

Fall is coming

or is it "Winter is coming"? haha I can't get enough of Game of Thrones. Sorry!

Well, I think this post is very "self explanatory" but it's been awhile I don't do a 'wishlist post'. I'm kind of sad summer is over, but happy that my favorite season is coming. I love everything about fall, but that's not the point of this post...maybe in another one? 

Things that are on the top of my list at the moment is a hat - I don't have many hats so I'm in need of one especially in burgundy which is my favorite color of the season. If you don't know I'm a wander-luster (is that a word?) so when I saw this watch I fell in love! It looks so cute and kind of vintage. I never get tired of buying clothes but I think I need to take a trip to Zara very soon. I love the details of the dress, it may look simple and boring (like me ha!) but I like it for a night out and if it gets chilly I can pair it with a nice leather jacket. And the color of the skirt it's just enough to make me buy it. And last in the list, because I'm a book worm, it's Alexa Chung's book called "IT". I admire her style so I'm excited to add this to my bookshelf and see if it inspires me in any way.

Urban Outfitters Wishlist

 1. dress / 2. coat / 3. boots / 4. traveler watch

Just browsing through some clothing website and found these great pieces in the fall catalog section of Urban Outfitters. I’m planning to travel in the winter to a place colder of what I’m used to. So I’m looking for a good coat, but it’s so difficult to choose which style is the best. I admit I have a soft spot for trench coats, but I don’t know…any ideas? I like this coat of UO but I don’t know if their clothing quality is good. Oh well, I will decide later…besides the coat I love the dress. I have too much black in my closet at the moment, but is a color that is really easy to wear and always looks great. This one looks very elegant, it doesn't show too much skin and the lace details is my favorite thing about it. Then there are this boots which are a must for winter and for accessories I find the watch to be so cute! It’s called traveler watch…ha! Perfect!

Oh, and please if you can recommend any good coats for a good price leave it the comment section. I live in tropical weather so I have no idea what cold is. Yikes! 

Thanks!

The Row Fall 2012 Favorites

I found an article in the September issue of Marie Claire featuring the Fall 2012 collection of Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen brand, The Row. I adore everything they do for brand, but the reality is I can’t afford anything. Even if I can’t go and buy what I want (just like any other designers clothing), I like to look at their collections and maybe try to find look-a-like pieces for less. When I saw the Fall collection I was very happy it wasn’t an letdown, it is beautiful. And I fell in love with the accessories. The bags look so simple, beautiful colors and very stylish. I love bags that are simple with plain/neutral color, so I can add more to an outfit. I can see myself buying one of these, but for now in my dreams. haha. And the same goes to the sunglasses. I’m a fan! I like the style, forms and colors. I have used Ray-bans aviators for two years already, so I want to change and look for something more like these ones. My favorite is the clear one, it’s something very different and I’ve never had clear sunglasses, so it could be fun if I find ones like that. You can check their collection at their website. I will like to add, besides their accessories my other favorite pieces were the long dresses and skirts. Do you like? 

Thanks for reading! 

Have a lovely day!

Autumn List

First of all, if you read my blog, I’m sorry I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been very busy and sometimes I didn’t have the energy and inspiration to write a post. I don’t want to blog without been enthusiastic in what I’m writing about. So I preferred to take my time. 

Second, Oh wow, one month has passed since I first started blogging! Too fast! Yesterday it was summer and now I’m like, “Oh, hi September! Didn’t see you coming.” Haha. But at the same time I'm very happy since I love Autumn, especially the weather. 

And third, here is my list for my next shopping trip.  

1. Despite that classes already started, I’m looking for a new backpack since the one I’m using has already two years and I’m getting kind of tired of it. I love this kinds of bags that are like made of leather and sloppy, but sometimes I like to carry my laptop so I don’t know if to buy something like this or something bigger. Do you have any suggestions?
2. All my tights are black, so this year I want to do a little change and wear burgundy color tights. It will be something different and maybe it will look good since almost all my clothes are black/gray. 
3. For months I have been craving to buy a purple shade lipstick, specially from MAC. I will see if I can get it this weekend. 
4. I need headphones, like right now! Mine are dead after two years using them 24/7. haha. What can I say? I love music! Maybe I will buy two, because I love this one – first they look cute and second I love the color. The bad part is I find it kind of big to carry it around everywhere, so I need smaller ones too.
5. Glitter oxfords. I mentioned this in another post and I still haven’t found the perfect pair, so difficult! I’m thinking of buying some plain oxfords and maybe add them with some glitter. But I don’t know if it will look good. 
6. More jumpers please! Fact: I love jumpers! I think I have one in every color and I still want more. If I find an ombre style jumper I will definitely buy it. 

                                      And for now that is my list of things I need/want for this season.
