Greek

Bellow the knee lenghts are maybe a little critical for me, because I'm not the tallest gal, and my legs are, khm, specific. But you know, it only happens once in a million years that I fall in love with the dress, so much that it's beauty makes me forget about my imperfections! And I adore it just as it is, making it above the knee is not an option. Besides, forgetting about your flaws is so liberating and refreshing and... healthy! Society and the media makes us strive for something we are not, and in such a subtle way that we don't even notice it. But once the pressure is off, you'll be able to see there's more than one mold for beauty!

Lady is a Tramp

It's funny how whenever I dress up, Lady is a Tramp starts playing in my head. I mean it can be cool, and I love doing it from time to time. It just feels like costume, kind of. I refuse to fake and pretend I'm something I'm not. So it only happens once in a long time.

But grown-up clothes like, elegant, sophisticated, toned-down clothes - God I love that! Since my teen years I loved that kind of clothes and wanted to wear it but felt ridiculous in it. So I carefully collected pieces, and waited to feel mature enough for them. And at 26, and more importantly, with all that's behind me - I do feel mature enough. I've earned my pretty clothes.

Pick of the week... Culottes!

Culottes... they definitely are a trend that's not easy to follow. The first impression might be they only look good on a model silhouette - but that's not true! Trust the girl who's not tall (read: short) and has slightly crooked legs - I feel so stylish in them! After months of weighing pros and cons, yesterday I got my first pair at Zara, and I'm already looking for another one because now it's all I want to wear.

What do you think?

into the blue

Honestly, I can't believe it's been more than a month since I came back from Greece. I cherished those moments of peace, because I knew it's going to be hectic once I'm back. But I couldn't even imagine all the things August is going to throw at me. Both wonderful and challenging. It's a storm around me, but I'm at peace. Because my mind is set, and I'm determined to succeed. Now, let's take a deep breath, and prepare for September!

Obsessed with... Chloé Faye bag!

Chloé Faye

Something that doesn't happen that often, is that I fall for a designer bag. I'm not a bag person at all (team shoes!!!) but every once in a while I go crazy for a certain bag. This past months it's been two bags even! After Ralph Lauren Ricky, I fell in love with the gorgeous Faye bag. It's a perfect mix of bohemian, luxurious and rock chic, which kind of hits the soft spot with me. It's on my bag-wishlist, and I don't even have a bag-wishlist haha!

What do you think? Any bag crushes?

Love, A ♥

Signs

I have this quirky habit of buying a birthday present to myself every year. It goes way back, and I can't even remember how it started, but it's my little intimate way to celebrate what I've achieved in the past year, and to mark the beginning of the new cycle. This year, after a really tough period, I'm proud of where I am compared to where I was this time last year. So I decided I want an over sized, powerful, Cleopatra kind of necklace, and while I was on a hunt for the perfect one, I was contacted by Happiness Boutique, and offered to choose a statement necklace of my choice. It took me 2 seconds to spot this perfection, and I took it as a sign. I tend to find the meaning in every little coincidence in life, another habit of mine. I've been working really really hard, so I rightfully took this as a sign that I'm doing fine. That I'm on the right path. So when I put my Cleopatra necklace on, I'm reminded of the strength I have, and the power I have to shape my destiny the way I please!

Stay positive,

Love, A ♥

Golden

To run. I've been running away my entire life. And the truth is, it is always myself that I'm running from. It took almost 26 years for me to realize that, guess I'm a slow learner. But the hard part is changing that. To come out clean, to be completely honest to both yourself and others - is to be free. And I've been yearning for freedom for a long, long time.

Thursday, what a great day to change your life!

Pick of the week... wooden sunglasses

Woodzee Kate

Among all the cool shades, the ones that got my attention this summer are the wooden ones. I haven't seen something so cool in quite a while to be honest! The design is simple - should I say classic? - but the texture of the wood makes them really stand out. Perfect summer statement piece!

It happens so often lately that I don't know what to write here. I feel like describing my outfit or spilling some pretentious shitty advice on what to wear, doesn't do justice to this online home of mine. I have this idea of sharing stories and experiences with you, fashion being just an accessory to all that. But my mind is constantly, tirelessly swirling with thoughts, and I can't seem to articulate them into words and sentences. At this point in my life, I'm so preoccupied with job, and studying, and blogging, and dozen more things, and I constantly consider what else I could squeeze in. My mind is restless, and I love being busy as it truly makes me happy, but from time to time I start feeling exhausted. At the moment, I feel like great things are just around the corner, and I have the strength to move mountains. You'll just have to forgive me that I'm speechless sometimes, it's really loud in my head.
Stay hungry, stay foolish ♥

Obsessed with... knotted sandals

In the previous outfit post you've seen me wearing Birkenstock look-a-like slides (that I'm in love with), but these Massimo Dutti nappa knotted sandals have completely stolen my heart! I'm sharing them here with you, in a desperate attempt to stop myself from rushing to the store to get them! Also, I'll make this a regular column - once a week I'll share my fashion picks with you, and I hope in comments you'll also share your picks with me ♥
