New Year's Eve Look

 

Christmas came and went in a glimpse, as it does each year and I hope that you all had a fantastic and joyful time surrounded by your loved ones and most importantly, that you received a lot of presents!

 Can you believe there are three more days left and the year is gone? I was thinking that it felt like yesterday I watched Episode VII of Star Wars, but I actually watched Rogue One a few days ago - those who watched them both will know that a whole year separates the two films. 

But look at me, talking about Star Wars in my pretty silk velvet dress, instead of thinking of all the good and positive moments from the past year. Speaking of pretty dresses, I though if giving you an idea of a New Year's Eve look, based on my on personal preferences, of course. Surely, since velvet is a huge trend this season and one of my favorite fabrics ever, it was natural that I would pick this dress as my favorite for this occasion! I love the color (which is actually less blue in reality) and the draping, it just looks so feminine and elegant, I really felt for it. 

I got it at a local tiny shop in my hometown, I wouldn't have minded if it was a dark green, but this color works great with my hair color too.

Topped with some delicate golden accessories with pearls because it really doesn't need much and let the party begin!

If I won't see you in the next three days, then I'll return in 2017 with fresh new forces!

Happy New Year guys!

Hello 2016!

 

 The first days of 2016 brought us a terrifying cold all over the country, hence a cozy Russian style outfit is in order. I couldn't find the perfect moment to wear this coat, since the weather was too warm, until yesterday. I have to say the city is quite...empty, not sure because of the cold or because everyone is still out of town since New Year's Eve. I suppose it's normal for this period of time.

I do hope the new year will bring you, and me, lots of fun beginnings and cheerful moments and if you're not the type of person to make resolutions, like me, then at least let's try to build something new for ourselves or even for others, as much as we can. 

I'm such a romantic these days, who would've thought?

 

Wearing: Bershka coat, no name beret, Deichmann boots, Zara skirt.

 

Another year at its end

 

 It seems Winter decided to come after all in my hometown. I woke up the other morning and I saw snow, everywhere! I am currently out of town, there is no snow here, but the temperature has dropped considerably, I really am not used to it anymore, it feels strange.

And it also, feels a bit uneasy to think about how fast another year has just passed, tomorrow we will be dreaming of new opportunities, new changes to make or if you're like me, you'll think about what new things to buy in the near future. I am kidding, I am not that much of a spender (I hope so).

 In other words, I don't have a typical "what to wear on New Years Eve post" because I really haven't decided what to wear yet! I have to make some appetizers first and then think about what to wear - I think I'll go for something casual this year, not feeling very fancy, but who knows. 

 So, I wish you a very Happy New Year, loads of fun and I hope I'll see you in 2016!

January thoughts

 This is my third day stuck indoors thanks to the massive cold I've been dealing with starting New Year's Eve. I managed to have a good time during the last night of the year, which actually stole my first three days of January. Thank you dear flu, that is just brilliant. I just can't wait to go outside!
 So, at the moment I am savouring a nice warm coffee and a slice of cake (actually I already ate it, plus half of a chocolate croissant) working and at the same time watching the last episode of "Orphan Black" - quite interesting I might add.

 

 Because Winter Wonderland refused to come this year, we are stuck with a dull, late November both landscape and weather, which didn't exactly put me in the Holiday spirit.
Well...at least she was.

 

 And this little creature I encountered while visiting my grandparents for Christmas stole a piece of my heart. Beautiful isn't she?

 

 Even so, while watching TV series like a regular couch potato, gazing constantly at these shoes and considering cutting my hair like this and of course, eating too much candy, I can't seem to let go of Christmas just yet. Nor do I wish to return to University in a few days. Oh, the agony..

 

Take care guys!

I wish you all the best for 2014!

To be elegant in forests..

I know, it's completely natural to look elegant or chic when walking in forests (at least I had some pavement!). Theese woods are at the edge of our town and it's not like they are deserted, cars run by often and people walk around there all the time. So this time, as a person who loves contrasts as you know, I though to be a good idea to take some photos in a different location than the city. And I love the eerie feeling I get when I look at the grey background, if there were at least a bit of snow, then it would have been like a fairyland...Or "fairyforest"? That would do too.

One more day until the year will end like a whisper and another one will come, and we grow older (and hopefully wiser) and... I'm not going to go the "depressed pathline" now, so I will stop. 

How was your year? Mine was mostly relaxed with some fun moments here and there, with some hard decisions I had to make - but all for the best! There were some fun projects for this blog as well, and oh yes, this year I got a job! Woohoo!

  I am not going to tell you how I would like to be in 2014, because most of the time I never stick to that plan, I forget and prefer to do other things than improve myself; but you lovely people, should not do as I do (said the wise owl..)

 

I suppose I will see you in the new year, so I wish you now a Happy New Year and start having fun from today on!

Wearing: Dorothy Perkins sweater, vintage skirt and belt, Leonardo shoes, thrifted bag, gifted earrings, Meli Melo old headband

 

She wore blue velvet..

..on her feet! I found this pair of booties after I returned from my New Year's party yesterday and I couldn't be more happier! Let's say they are a late Christmas gift from..myself! 

 Speaking of New Year's...how did you celebrate it? I spend some time with my friends away from the city and other than eating and drinking and dancing we had some attempts of driving on top of mountains, some failed, some succeeded. I have some photos but I am not sure how much they are "fashion blog material", but I'll decide that as soon as I get them.

Hope you'll all have a fabulous 2013!

So, how do you like my brand new shoes?

   

 Wearing: H&M skirt and scarf, Only sweater, Miniprix  boots(actually from this brand HERE.)

 

A hint of color

 

 These were taken yesterday as I was shopping for the New Year's Eve party - which will last for three days. I'll be leaving for a few days just like last year, somewhere isolated and hopefully there will be fun days ahead. 

I am wearing here a skirt my mother used to own (note the use of the past tense) It is perfect for something simple in my opinion and for this cold season. 

So tell me...what are your plans for New Year's?

   

 Happy New Year dear ones! 

Hope to see you all again here! 

 Wearing: mom's skirt, thrifted sweater, random brand boots, hand made scarf.
