Change. It hits you in the face so hard sometimes, and so suddenly, you wonder how you'll ever get back on your feet. Your world turns upside down, and as much as you'd want, it never goes back to how it was. As much as it is painful, or at least uncomfortable, it's still good. There is no other way to grow. And it's okay to be scared, just don't resist it, because it'll run you over. It's going to happen, and you can't stop it, as long as you're alive, things are going to constantly change and it's inevitable. Go ahead and be scared, panic, scream, just find it in you to pull your shit together and embrace the metamorphosis. It is, anyway, what makes life so incredibly beautiful.

Oh Captain, my Captain!


I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...  I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life... And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...

Are you as excited about the new year as I am? I mean, life goes on, and nothing has really changed except the calendar, but I love the clean slate. We all need to refresh and restart every once in a while, and new years are the perfect time to do that. To sum up what you have done and how much you have achieved, and set up some goals for the next 365 days. 366 in this case. I do have a couple of big goals for 2016, and you'll hear all about it when the time comes!
HNY guys!

Some people will only love you as long as you fit in their box. Don't be afraid to disappoint.

Bohemian Rhapsody

For the last month and a half, I swear the stars aligned to mess with my head. My schedule became so tight, that more often than not I had to literally run from one appointment to another. All at the same time, I started statistics classes (so that I could pass my exam), I became web journalist for HB and my colleague went to vacation for two weeks so I had more job to do than ever before (and that's just a part of what was going on). Speaking of tight timetable, I had to squeeze my bday celebration in 3 hours straught! Literally, I had three hours before I had to rush to statistics class. There were many moments when I would laugh at my rotten luck. I didn't even get annoyed, it was beyond ridiculous the way Marfi screwed with me. Finally, it coincided that Harper's BAZAAR first anniversary party was the night before my exam... like seriously? Who's doing that to me and why? Before, I would go bananas and cancel everything, but not anymore. Party the night before an important exam? Challenge accepted! Of course I passed it (like a boss)! Go ahead Marfi, what else do you have in store for me? I can take anything!

Golden hour

This skirt is made of perforated suede, and too bad you can't see it well in these pics, because it looks amazing! This is a great example of an outfit that can take you from day to night. I wore this to work, with flats and a cardigan thrown over my shoulders, and then switched to nude heels and a fancier bag for moms bday lunch, as you can see in pictures.

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 ♥

Funny how one item can take the outfit from plain to stylish, yet easy and comfortable. Just what I need in a day full of errands, and far too little sleep and food.

One idea on how to turn a strict business outfit into a playful but still work appropriate look. If you're lucky enough to work in a company that doesn't have a strict dress code, then you have an entire play field where you can express your personality when creating your outfits. From adding colorful details to choosing a playful versions of casual items (like skirt in this case) - let your imagination do work for you!
