It's a family matter

 It's so funny how time flies. Just three short years ago I celebrated my own confirmation (I have since become and atheist...oops. My mum, a priest, has already damned me to hell), and today we held festivities for my baby-sister who had her's yesterday. At the risk of sounding like an old lady: I'm so proud to see that she has turned into such a beautiful, principled and intelligent young woman, who I'm thrilled to call my sister.

The party was a lovely gathering of relatives, godparents of my sister and friends. This was also the occasion when I chose to present boyfriend (of a bit over a year) to the relatives. I was especially excited to introduce him to my granny (who I'm ever so close to). I've been a bit hush about the whole thing so she had no idea, but her reaction was the best :) She kept smiling and hugging me, and poking him exclaiming how handsome he is. Haha :D Got to love grandparents.

I'll be staying this week at my bf's place, but I'll be keeping in touch as usual. A little birdie told me we're going on a picnic tomorrow :)

I don't believe that you've met my feel-good shoes yet: These babies are from BIANCO, they're slightly platformed, very tall and rather chunky. Just the leverage I need. Black shoes go with virtually anything and I think they just scream me! I get compliments on them every single time I wear them. 

Now we're playing Mario Party on the gamecube in our PJ's after watching an episode of Poirot :) Life is so good!

BIG hugs and kisses.

Three S's

Sunshine, shopping and studying (I know, the last one's rather disappointing...I guess could'v also used sunglasses, Spanish tourists or spaghetti, but that paints a more realistic picture).

Lots of Zara for me today: top from Zara (originally a blouse from like a year or two back. It got so much wear and tear that I thought I'd have to throw it away, but I couldn't. Soooo, I chopped off the sleeves!), black velvet shorts from Zara as well. 

This piece of gorgeousness arrived yesterday from ASOS. Whopee! I also figured out that my ears are, in fact, rather gargantuan , which gives a bit of a squished effect. Not that it's gonna stop me from wearing them, of course!

I bought this lovely hat (among quuuuite a few other things...oops.) at the first fleamarket from a lovely old woman (2,5 euros!). Land ahoy!

The second fleamarket (Hietsu) is the perfect setting for some summer shopping. Unfortunately this picture might misrepresent it, because this old guy came to harass me about my camera before I got a good shot...

Because I have a (really) bad habit of hiding my bag in outfit shots here's one of today's bag. H&M, borrowed from my sister :)

I think studying for my history matriculations has temporarily made me more pensive than I should be in the summer. And I've been thinking about why it is that I even write this blog.
Without getting too philosophical... I think that what they say is so true: girls dress to impress girls. I mean pretty much everybody who reads fashion blogs, participates in them and has one,  is a girl. But while I always aim to impress anyone who might end up on this (slightly pitiful) blog, I like to think that I dress and write to express myself. However, I can't help feeling a twinge of jealousy whenever I read a blog that's obviously better than mine (or see a really out-there outfit I wish I'd had the guts to wear!). So I guess the sad truth is that I'm here, I'm me and I really want you to love it. That's all.

I'd just like to thank all my readers (cough cough, there's six) for putting up with me (even through this post). 

Love you!

Early morning online shopping

Yesterday I was browsing the ASOS-sales and I found a gorgeous ear-cuff that I couldn't wait to get my hands on. In my usual manner I decided to sleep on it, so I wouldn't regret my purchase....but the second I woke up this morning I had to get up and check whether it was still there. And whaddoya know, I ordered it on the spot...It should come in about two weeks...eeek!

The price for this beauty was around nine euros and I'm pretty sure it was worth every cent (I have to see it and try it on first!)

There are still SO many things I want, but I might have to (unfortunately) give my card a break for a while....
