La dolce vita

Soft colors, the most fabulous lace shorts ever, sunny weather, and a long walk in a beautiful natural area.. I love my life.

The colors of love

Happy Valentine's Day, lovelies! For those who celebrate it, I hope you had a wonderful day and I'd love to hear more details/gossip about it - if you want to share it of course. ;-) I wore this outfit last Sunday, but because of its colors I thought it would be more than appropriate to share it today. Honestly, I don't think I can come up with a color that reflects love so well as red and pink do.

Courage

Choices are the building blocks of success, love and happiness. Lots of people believe that one choice can make your life or break your life. I disagree with this: if one of your options fails, try the next one. And if something went wrong, correct it. Don't be scared to take risks. Risks are the foundation of adventures. And adventures guarantee lots of fun.

It's still cold and white outside. It's definitely not the easiest situation to dress for, but happily my knitted sweater supports me during these days. When I have to go to my lectures, I'm wearing jeans with tights below them most of the time. It's the only way to prevent myself from becoming a living icicle. However, I was very courageous last weekend, and I braved the cold when wearing knitted tights and shorts. I really liked the outfit, but I have to confess I'm going to look after a blanket, three pairs of handshoes, tights ánd jeans before I'm going outside this evening. Wish me luck!

Sporting my sneakers

Yes, your eyes don't cheat you: I'm wearing sneakers. My new converse shoes, to be precise. I already mentioned my feelings about them before, and they didn't change. I'm still so happy with them and even though it feels like a total makeover when wearing these shoes instead of killer heels or booties, it feels great. Moreover, these black beauties are so easy to combine and I can't wait to wear them in combination with jeans shorts, a loose tee and oversized sunnies to a theme park this spring!

Sturdy fabrics

Did you have a wonderful Christmas? I did, and I got such amazing gifts. There were more gifts than I could ever wish for, and I'll definitely show them to you in one of the upcoming blogposts! My brother gave me an a-ma-zing yellow leather cowboys bag, and I took it right with me when visiting my grandpa. The rest of the outfit for the first day of Christmas consisted of the items I bought myself last Friday: A knitted boys sweater (the cut and length is much better than those of woman sweaters), a asymmetric sheer shirt and grey leggings. I cut my tights to use them as socks in my leather ankle boots, and to complete the look I curled my hair.

Shiny blue pants

I think I've been a magpie (or a discoattendee from the 70s) in a previous life, because when I see shimmer, I go crazy. Therefore, no coincidence that I raid the shop assistant when the courier just delivered the new collection and I saw these beautiful shiny blue pants. They were perfect in combination with my new blackwhitesilver sweater. Actually, I wanted an oversized sweater with a huuuuge turtleneck in this pattern, but I think this one is really cool as well.

ps Afresh, my apologizes for my absence this week. I'm so glad I'm back to blogging-land again!

Suede and leather, I love you

After a hectic week, it's nice to dress more comfortable on Saturday. And this is exactly what I did today when wearing my beige/gold sweater and leatherlook leggings (available here). To spice up the outfit, I decided to combine these items with my beloved black ankle boots and... my new leather vs suede bag! I tweeted about this new acquisition when I purchased it last week, but today was the first day I took it out. I hope you're just as thrilled about it as I am, hehe. ;)

Increased level of comfort

Dreaming with eyes wide open is better than living your life while keeping your eyes closed. Don't ignore the small but beautiful things in life. Before you know, you miss your golden opportunity.

My apologizes for this cryptic one, but it's all true (in my opinion) so I want to share these thoughts with you. However, in case you don't feel like deciphering a quote at this time of the day, just take a look at the picture beneath. The outfit isn't a special one, but probably it's inspirational in case you're searching for a veeery comfortable, warm, and layered weekend look. ;-)

Outfit: "Checked skirt and hat"

I had a crazy start of the weekend, but before all the madness began, I fortunately had the opportunity to take some outfitpictures. It's kind of a preppy look, and I was inspired for this outfit by my new checked skirt. It has that typical scottish skirt vibe over it, but it's more playful and fashionable than the traditional ones (and of course I'm wearing underwear underneath it haha). The hat I wore, will certainly be the centerpiece of my collection of accessoiries upcoming seasons. I think headgear is the key to a stylish outfit on cold autumn- and winterdays.
