Craving Winter SHOES

The perfect, warm, snuggly, chic pair of winter shoes seems to be really hard to come by. I'm looking for ones that will possibly elevate me a little (I'm shooooort) or then really cool relaxed ones.

Here's some inspiration:

God, I envy her style. AND THOSE LEGS.

To be honest I've been an awful blogger lately, but I just seem to have way too much on my plate. I've even considered quitting, but there's no way I could since this really is my only outlet when it feels like I'm drowning.

I'm heading to ROME this Sunday and back again on Friday. I have yet to find out whether I will have an internet connection there, but I will do my best to keep in touch!

Evening feelings

Despite having a coffee date with one of my closest friends and getting to spend heaps of time with my bf I have to admit that this has not been the best of days. I'm all sniffly and achy. I must be coming down with something. The funny thing is that my bf loves it when I get a bit ill, since he gets to baby me and bring me food and tuck me in (yup, he has more of a maternal instinct than I will ever have!). And that's exactly the kind of luxury I got to experience today. The food: his mums home made meatballs and mushroom sauce (YUM!) and lots of cuddles and trashy tv.

His mum gave me some mushrooms to take home as well (she always treats me with food :) so I made some of those for dinner and then enjoyed a HUUUGE lollipop shaped like the white house (it seemed like a good day to treat myself).

Here's my ootd and other randomness of a tired mind:

Lindex knit and H&M denim jacket over a vila maxi dress with MONKI booties :) A nice, warm and comfy outfit.

A UNICEF bracelet that my friend (the one I saw today) bought for me :)

And my beloved ELLIFANT!

Autumn is very officially here: dad turned on the central heating. I love how it hums next to my sofa :)

In the style of Cleopatra

 While I was studying for History I got really into watching documentaries and I haven't stopped. Some of the most interesting ones were those on Egyptology. As I was watching a particular one about Cleopatra I got really inspired a gorgeous big necklace. Imagine my astonishment when I happen to stumble upon quite a similar one at the fleamarket! My expression must have been priceless :)
SO yesterday I played around with the theme and wore that beautiful necklace as an accent to the most simple outfit and accentuated the effect with heavy eye liner. Super.

Speaking of yesterday...It was meant to be a night in, but we ended up going over to H's friend's house for poker night. WAY TOO MUCH FUN. I am beyond flattered that they asked me to join them, since I've only met some of them a couple of times. Anyways, they were all so very friendly (and some of them quite grown up...shocker :P!) and even though I was the only girl in a group of 10 or so, I never felt left out for one second. However, I didn't join in on the poker since I tried once with S and an M&M's set and we just ended up eating everything. I think they took me in really nicely so I look forward to seeing the lot of them again!

Thrifted knit, Zara chinos

Preppy little vintage shoes

And my lush jewellery. You might also notice how pathetically short my nails are: that's what you get for soaking in the tub for just a bit too long a few too many times :P

I wish you all a FANTASTIC week!
