My Friday Best

Today was church day at school. I have to admit that I'm not really a church person at all (more of a Buddha/spiritual yahoo person actually), but you do what you have to do. We have to dress up, which made it that bit better (I mean who doesn't love dressing up?). The only other thing I look forward to in school church is the little ones getting up and singing...Well, they didn't :P Maybe next time (it's just TOO cute...and I don't even like kids!).

H and I went out for pancakes after school to catch up on this hectic week.

When I got home I did some delicious baking with my sister for her godmum's birthday or something and we're planning to have a yummy movie-night later today. Yay for sisters :) We used to not get along at all, but somehow we've been hanging out a lot lately (maybe because the poor thing usually has to take my blog pics :P).

Tomorrow I see my bestie for the first time since school started. God, I miss her!!!

I decided to take two 80s trends: playsuit and shoulder-padding and wear them in a modern way (not that it hasn't been done a million times before ;) Here's the outcome:

Playsuit from Turkey +a vintage 80s blazer+my favourite heels (DINSKO) = perfect outfit for churching. 

Notice the gorgeous,HUUUGE ring on my chubby little finger :) Got it from Istanbul.

I get into more and more dangerous stunts in search of the perfect picture...but sometimes it's so worth it :)

THE shoes. You've seen them before, you'll see them again. No question about that :)

I've been getting so many supportive comments lately and it is so incredibly fulfilling that somebody is enjoying the fruits of my labours :) That's what keeps me coming back every day. So thank you (especially to a few of you who take time to comment every single day! )

Have a SUPER weekend :)

Resting before I get tired

Today was date day. We went out for bagels and donuts and a bit of window shopping :) I have to admit that due to school stress I wasn't really completely into it, but if there's someone who can calm me down when I get all mental (apathetic half the time and ridiculously stressed the other half) it's him.

I decided that it's better for my mental health if I don't study for my matriculation exams today, so instead I took a long bath with a fizzer, made a yummy greasy dinner and listened to the velvet underground. I might still light some incense to perfect this evening of relaxation :) It is working, though, I'm pretty much back to normal now. Nothing like a good, lazy Sunday afternoon. 

I basically live in my Levi's. I wore them with an asos dress (as a top) and little black shoes from DINSKO.

A chainy-knotty neckalce thing, one of my faves (from Glitter)

A new ring from Ibero (cost a measly 2 euros :P)

My incredibly healthy (cough, cough) fry-up dinner consisting of 4 huge mushrooms, an egg, 4 slices of bacon and a tomato. All seasoned with Italian herbs and fresh basil. Mmmmm :) (I know, I know: it looks like breakfast.)

Bath-time perfection: Sephora bath fizzers (courtesy of my bff, who has no idea how much they really helped today!).

Next week I honestly don't have anything but school to look forward to (at least yet), so hopefully I won't bore you guys to death :) If it's any consolation: I'm pretty much out of school in a few months and on to more exciting endeavors. 

Here's wishing you lot a very happy and exciting week!

Look out sunshine!

Today was unbelievably chill: waking up after noon, sunbathing and hanging out with my sister. In the evening I met up with a friend for coffees...which soon turned into shopping. Oops!
Now I'm curled up on my sofa next to my purring laptop with the Fratellis invading my ears and forcing an involuntary toe-tap. This is the life:)
It's still taking time to get used to my new hair. I think it has finally finished developing the colour (it went redder for a few days). I'm still (positively) shocked every time I look in the mirror. But I'm in love with it.

Outfit of the day: Dress with bow details from Camden market (10 pounds) and  Dinsko heels bought off of  Emmi.

I have a bit of a sunglasses-fetish. Bought these retro ones on holiday in Estonia last year for 60cents.

I know I have stubby little sausage-fingers, but dammit I WILL wear big rings!

A bit of bling from GLITTER.

I couldn't NOT buy these gorgeous chunky heels from H&M, especially when the price-tag had a big red clearance sign  with a 3 on it. Yes, 3 euros. I've wanted a pair ever since they came in, but I'm way too cheap to pay 40e for summer shoes (It's only warm enough to wear them for a marginal time).

I was randomly reflecting on this summer I remembered this outfit (the tutu one) and how amazing I felt in it. MUST.WEAR.AGAIN!

I'm looking forward to a very busy few weeks: I'll be catching up with mates tomorrow and on Wednesday. Thursday is my packing day (and beach day with yet another friend) and on Friday I'm jetting off to beautiful Istanbul with my dad. The hotel should have wireless internet, so if in any way possible I'll be updating my blog from there, but if I can't you're looking at a HUGE update afterwards. I can't wait!

All the best to you lot

You can't touch this

I've been indoors for quite a few days studying, reading magazines and watching tv and eventually this lead to me feeling a bit under the weather. I decided that it had to come to an end so I rang up my friend for a shopping date in the city. I came back with an abundance (at least for my usual standards) of lovely sales items for some pampering and beautifying. And venting to someone really helps with the frustration. Just what I needed!

This morning I opted for my floral H&M jumpsuit and a denim jacket. As I got dressed I feel I was possessed by MC Hammer. All I wanted to do was that silly little dance, so here's to one of our greatest fashion icons. Mr. Hammer!

Floral jumpsuit from H&M and denim jacket from H&M kids (boys section!)

combined with some *cough cough* wicked dance moves.

My mini-statement piece of the day: an Alchemy England ear-chain with the words "coeur noir" inscribed on the cuff

And dinsko strappy heels.



Sometimes when you're having a not so pulled-together day, it's good to have a bit of a giggle at yourself :)

Just another day in the life

Busy, busy day: fleamarket in the morning with my BFFF followed by lunch and some shopping at IKEA and then a coffee date back in town with another friend. Made some great finds, including a wristwatch (finally!!!).

My bag of choice: mum's old bag from the late 70s early 80s. Quite tattered as you may see, but still fulfills its purpose wonderfully. I'm so bad at wearing colour, but this is one of the easiest ways to inject some into an outfit.

Denim jacket from H&M boy's, The Ramones tee, printed trousers from H&M, shoes with a slight wedge from Dinsko.

Tomorrow I'm going to check out a fleamarket here set up by fashion bloggers who want to give their clothes a new life. Can't wait to see how that'll turn out!!! I'm also going to visit one my regular markets for some fail-proof shopping.

Have a great weekend!!!
