Does it look like December to you?


(no name faux fur vest, Freeze blazer, New Yorker striped jumper,H&M bag and scarf, Zara jeans, Benvenutti suede ankle boots)
Hi all!
I have been totally in love with faux fur vests lately and have been searching for the perfect one for such a long time!! I have wanted a brown one, but couldn't find any to match my taste - either too long, ot cropped, or an unnatural color. When everything would fit, they wouldn't have it in my size.. like the brown vest from H&M - if you're into this trend, I'm sure you know that one ;) I have liked that one a lot, but size S has sold out really quick. So, on a neccessity trip to another town (Iasi), my boyfriend has found this black one in a little boutique in the town center. It's really the same model as the H&M one. Same length, to collar, no zipper, just a faux lether strap to cinch in the waist. AND - I started to love the black one!!

We went to buy a Christmas tree on Sunday, and it was really awkward to be able to dress in a blazer+vest in the middle of December. But, of course I was happy to take the vest out for the first time :)

Much love,

Teal french manicure



Flormar 129 and Flormar 112
I have tried a really new nail polish color today - new for me, that is ;) I usually wear traditional colors like red and pink, but I really wished for something new and interesting and catchy this fall. So here is this teal - very difficult if not impossible to catch in a photo. I like it, but I guess I will stick to my favs. I also had a hard time picking an outfit to match this color, and was only able to come up with a combination of white and grey and dark wash jeans.
However, I bought some new polishes today - glittery black, dark navy and a dusty mauve. I'm super excited to try them out!

Have a great time!

Plaid Shirt

Hello everyone!

I was looking for a plaid shirt for such a long time because I love them and you can wear them in sooo many ways!!
I finally found one at H&M on Friday and had to wear it yesterday. I'm really happy with it!


Wearing: very old H&M cardigan, plaid shirt-H&M new , Bershka bodycon skirt, H&M tights, Benvenutti ankle boots.

As you can see, I wore the shirt with a big wrap-around cardigan and a bodycon skirt. I'm really into bodycon skirts lately. They make me feel really comfortable, maybe because most of the skirts look so big on me. So I'm planing on buying another one in grey as well.

Behind me you can see some of my received postcards through Postcrossing.com . If you love postcards and receiving mail, you should quickly sign up there, in case you don't have an account allready :)

Have an amazing week everyone!

Manicure of the week

I'm a nail polish lover and usually very traditional with nail polish colors. I always go for a red, a coral or a burgundy. But since some weeks ago I was craving new colors! Especially mint and toupe. So I bought some yesterday from Flormar, and today I came up with this design:



The golden half moon didn't come up perfectly (especially on the right hand, in the second picture), but I'll be better with time :D This has been my first attempt on this design. Don't you think a half moon mani looks so classy? I also love the combo a lot.
Wearing Flormar 413 for brownish-toupe and NA09 nailart polish for gold, also from Flormar. They are really cheap and great quality!
This isn't however the toupe I was looking for, but it's so difficult to figure out the real hue from the bottle!! So I'll keep searching!

Hope you enjoyed my mani post! I really had fun with it! If you make a reinterpretation of it, I'd love to discover new combos! So please share! :)

Love,

Winter without snow

Hello all!!

I'm very sorry for my long absence. I had a huge exam to take on Sunday!! I'm now eagerly waiting for the results! Cross your fingers for me! ;)

This is an outfit I wore something like 2 weeks ago, but I had really no time to post it. It's another outfit with my lovely faux fur collar. I'm so in love with it and would advise anyone to buy one! Especially since it's such a cheap item!


It has been the first time that I wore jeans shorts in autumn! And I love it because I felt so comfortable!! I also love this super warm cable knit tights - I found them at a cheap store - and they are great for shorts or skirts, even though they slipped off a little :)

Wearing: Only tweed jacket, thrifted faux fur collar, Mexx shirt, Stradivarius jeans shorts, Accessorize bag, random tights, Romanian unknown brand leather boots.

I have some more outfits to post soon!
Have a great week!

Love,

Faux fur collar


Hello all!
I have seen lots of these faux fur collars lately - on so many bloggers! I totally fell in love with the glam that one of these adds to every outfit. It instantly turns a simple outfit into an interesting one! I was SO happy when  I found this one at a thrift store, and I like it a lot - it looks so real! They had many to choose from, but I'm really happy with my choice. This happened a while ago, and I allready wore it on multiple occasions - so, a deffinite YES to fur collars!

Wearing: Only tweed blazer, Diesel jeans, Fransa bell sleeved top, Zara golden flats, Accessorize bag, H&M earrings.

Love,

Stripes




Hello everyone!
So this is what I wore yesterday. I had bought this striped dress a while ago, but didn't know how to wear it, so that it doesn't look too dairing, since it's actually a sweater, so really short. Well, some advantages of being petite :) I was really content with the result, but it seemed something was still not working, so I added a pair of leggeings so that the outfit wouldn't turn too many heads at the library ;) People should be able to focus on studying there, right? ;) I like it better with sheer tights though..
I bought the bag on Saturday from H&M and I love it a lot! It's classic but with a hint.

Wearing: no name sweater worn as a dress, Freeze blazer, Stradivarius necklace, Lefties boots, H&M bag (new collection), Fossil Stella watch from Asos - buy here .

Have an amazing time everyone!!
Love,
