Urban Western Style

I may be wrong, but this outfit reminded me of the classic American cowboy/country style, even though that was not my intention when I started to dress up, but hey, for a transition outfit when the weather is neither cold, nor warm, I am happy with it!

 And if you are wondering how I added 10 inches in length to my hair, the answer is: hair extensions! A ponytail to be more precise, courtesy of Irresistible Me, I didn't get to wear it very often because  my hair color changed to various shades of red in time, but now it pretty much matches the color of this extension, so I think I am going to wear it more often now; we shall see.

How do you guys feel about hair extensions?

A casual romantic

 

 I figure this is the last time I am wearing these green wide/palazzo/flare - whatever you wish to call them - pants; because Spring is coming up and I really can't stand wearing heavy clothing anymore, such as wool, tartan, tweed. So I thought of another way to style these pants, pairing them this time with a blushing pink in a more romantic kind of outfit. I would've preferred to wear some dress shoes, but it was too early in the morning and hence too cold for that; I'd rather keep my legs warm, I got comfortable, what can I do? 

 I hope you will have a great start of the week guys!

Just a bit of spark

 

 It was one of those days when the weather was horrid, cold and yet humid, the light was darkened by the heavy clouds and so, all you wanted to do was to lay in bed and read something light or watch movies. But we went out for a nice cup of hot chocolate, the kind that resembles a pudding in texture so in fact you are actually having a desert instead of a drink. 

I didn't have the courage or mood to wear a skirt or something fancy, so I went for a casual look but since I thought it was too boring, I had to add a little bit of glow, so a dark blue sparkly statement necklace really solved my problem! Fancy jewelry really does the trick.

 And I really can't believe we're already in December! I am already thinking about Christmas presents, how about you?

Finally Summer

 

 I can't believe the first week of June is almost gone and I don't actually realise how did the first half of the year passed and what have I been doing during this time, to be honest. It seems sometimes that life is passing through us without enjoying it as we should. We, or at least I, have been constantly dreaming lately of the perfect version of everything, but it doesn't always happen that way and then I get bumped and think about something else. I should stop thinking altogether and just do stuff. 

Leaving aside the philosophy, here I am wearing the pants that scare away the men. It's a true fact, my own boyfriend told me at first that "the pants are interesting" and in less than a minute he said " they're weird" and finishing off with: " I don't like them at all!" - well, now that escalated quickly. And of course, it was amusing but I felt good no matter what, flare pants are always comfy and awesome to wear during hot Summer days. I really am sorry for the poor guys who are not able to wear such pants, they are missing out!

 

Have a great weekend guys!

A quarter of a century

 

 How is the three-day weekend going so far for you? 

Those that celebrate 1st May as our Labor Day which ironically, is a work-free day, are probably celebrating somewhere out of town, or even out of country. 

I chose to stay in because I don't necessarilly celebrate Labor Day, but my birthday. So this Friday I turned 25, which to some people is quite a big deal, but I am not sure exactly how to see it. I'm in my mid twenties and mostly I feel a bit scared that I will reach a certain point in which I'll probaly think that I haven't accomplished as much as I wanted to. 

But, let's not talk about scary things. I actually did something pretty cool on Friday morning, I went paragliding (not sure that is the correct way to say it) as you might have noticed on Facebook here. It was a birthday present and I loved it! The thrilling sensation, the rush, the strong wind carrying you around the air - it was amazing and I wish I could do it everyday! When I went back to the city I felt as if I just landed from a different world and couldn't go back to my usual activities. Strange.

 Then I made some appetizers and mojitos, we played an intesive game of Monopoly - in which I failed miserably - and ended the day, or rather the night, with a smile on my face. 

No hard-core party, not a huge guest list, that is not really my style (unless it's a surprise party - then I don't mind, haha) I was surrounded by lilac flowers and great company, which is more than enough.

 I hope you all had a great time these past few days!

I love Autumn, but still..

 

 The weather here is ridiculous. I mean, seriously we are having the crappiest Spring ever! 

 Two posts ago you saw me wearing flats and skirts and this Sunday, I had to dress up like in the Fall. I mean, I love Autumn, but I love it when it's supposed to be Autumn, not when trees are in bloom and birds are supposed to be singing happily.

 So here I am , wearing a somekind of Spring/Fall coat I got recently in a random shop - just because my Winter coat was too ridiculous to wear and it wasn't warm enough for a light trench coat - so there you have it. 

My hands froze and the wind was blowing so hard that it even discouraged you to go around the corner and buy some bread. You would rather starve. 

 Needles to say I am tired and annoyed by this situation, I see the weather improved today a bit and hopefully I will at least get some sunshine for my birthday, which is in 9 days from now (#freakingout)

Oh and yes, I have green eyes now, ha!

I've always wanted that.

Simple pleasures

 

 I've been thinking of both lavish and modest things that one can have in a life time. Of course, we all desire to have and to offer more and more and we sometimes feel tiny and useless when we don't accomplish what we wished, but we can also feel gratefeul and happy about the small pleasures than can happen unexpectedly. Like a warm sunset that can create beautiful colors in an Autumn landscape. Or a soft, cashmere cardigan that really keeps you warm during the annoying cold days. Or a piece of a delicious cake, one you never tried before. 

Not that I've become philosphical in the past week, but I had days when I though about my accomplishments and my failures ( I suppose being in your mid twenties gets you to think more and party less) and I also had days when I was simply too busy to think about this blog, but when I finally tried to edit these photos, my PC decided to breakdown (Karma maybe?) 

 Not being very active here doesn't mean I'm not social or ignorant. I read blogs, I look at trends, I analyze things. It's just my priorities have changed a bit. Rather than staying glued to the PC all the time (my job requires me to gaze at the monitor for 8 to 9 hours per day) I prefer to focus on myself when I get the chance. 

Alright, enough rambling, I have a job to attend to.

 Have a positive end of the week and enjoy everything life has to offer you - even if it seems insignificant.
