a woman's right to shoes

the fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a woman's shoes. that's why we really need special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun

raindrops from the sun

it rained! 

there was a misery deep inside me for days_ sth wasn't quite right_ but suddenly it all changed_ the rain came and  washed my misery away_ at first everything was super colorful _ i looked around a bit excited, then the first raindrops fell on my face_ it was raining

the ugly city was beautiful again and i danced_ it's such a cliche... why should one just sing in the rain?

hahahha i went a bit over the top, but

i <3 the rain

the importance of wearing a hat

autumn is finally here! and this is my first fall look! here u see me wearing my new hat!

as soon as i wore it for the 1st time, i realized i'm not taking it off till march_ but seriously_ you know i love hats_that's no secret_ u can see me wearing a hat here, here, here and here. practically in every outfit post i have ever made

but winter hats. aaah, it's a love story. i could start describing how perfect winter hats are but instead i can send you at garance's . thank you garance for the perfect timing!

anyway i leave you here- once again i have to run- i'm wearing my hat of course! 

trousers: zara

shirt: cos

knit:zara

bag:cos

hat: h&m

boots: sam edelman

watch: michael kors

arm candy: cos + h&m

basics

i recently realized that when it comes to building a wardrobe, one must always return to basics

don't get me wrong, i adore extravagant, fun pieces! they totally alter my mood_  sometimes though i feel i have a wardrobe full of clothes but nth to wear

this is why i started investing on quality, not quantity. i also came to understand that the great thing about basics is that you can recycle them, mix and match. an outfit based on basics can never go wrong_ some think it can get boring- not with the right accessories ( that is bags and jewelry, maybe hats?)

so here for the night out i chose a grey baggy jacket from h&m, a white tee from cos ( i call it the pregnancy tee, it fits great but it's huge_ there is room for a lot of food in there), a blue pair of shorts from zara and my orange fun clutch from cos

last but not least, i feel the need to apologize_ my scary smile_ i did it again:(_

mustard- dagger- billiard room

you remember my mustard post some days ago? 

well that's were the inspiration came from:D

as a child i was obsessed with cluedo!!!

so i did not just play cluedo- i used to create whole stories in my mind-blackmails, long forgotten love affairs, hidden agentas, lost wills- i loved it so much because it reminded me of all the agatha Christies i used to read back then!

i even dreamt of becoming a female hercules poirot!

here's a cluedo editorial i found! 

a great editorial is not just about the clothes + the models!

a great editorial is above all a great story, that moves beyond understanding and brings back  long forgotten feelins/ memories, things so personal that a simple photo shoot just could not do

so who's your favorite??? i always chose colonel mustard- he had the charm and power that comes with age- i always imagined him of returning from  west indies or egypt! i always wished he would end up with mrs Peacock<3

blogger's medicine for crazy weather

do you remember my men's shirts post a few days ago??? if not, check it out here

i did what a every good blogger would do! i gave it a try!i grabbed boy's oversized shirt and stepped out in the city!

as it turns out men's shirts are not only stylish and chic but really cool! i mean   

literally cool!

it was once again freakishly hot (i'm not complaining- this indian summer is everywhere- if it doesn't stop though the whole human race will become extinct- imagine cute eskimos watching the cute igloos melting away) but the oversized shirt protected me from the sun and i could feel the wind on the inside!

what's your fashion secret?

how do you cope with crazy weather?
