I love to wear my striped top, and I could really buy a new one before the old one falls into pieces. 

I also really like wearing those shorts, despite of them being at least two sizes two big on me. I guess it's just because I can't see how bad my butt looks in them. But I just adore the idea of very much distressed demin shorts and a dark, simple blazer. Lately I've also fallen for jackets that are just too big and loose in the waist, and the lapels are not really a must.

Today was a great day. I was never really allured by sun, but this year is so much different. I just need to buy a new sunscreen before I am all tan! I always like it better when I am rather pale. And as much as I am excited about summer, the end of school year is just so hectic! 

 + me being silly:

H&M sunglasses, H&M blazer, Zara t-shirt, vintage belt, vintage shorts.

I actually wanted for this blog to be a personal style one!

All of the photos are from tumblr. And they make me think of summer.

good night.

and I got a sewing machine! <3

Shine on

I love shiny stuff. Remember my post on metallic nail polishes? A friend of mine says that I have a thing for armor-esque clothing, but not all that glitters looks like medieval protective apparel! It felt as though I was alone in my love for all that shines. But yesterday I read a text about this season's sparke at style.com and I recalled that my lurex dress was worn by all of my friends last year (such a relief! I am not the only one) . And that I always loved the lurex socks that Cassie worn in Skins (sorry, but I can't find a photo). And Cassie's vintage, golden dresses. And maybe it has something to do with my sign being Leo that sparkle always catches my eye.

I always loved lists, so here is one: of my 5 most wanted glittery pieces right now:

1.  Fairground Beaded Dress By Dress Up Topshop**

    Just wow. I don't think I could wear it, and it seems to be heavy. But still, wow.

2. Len Edwards gold sequin top, vintage

    I regret not buying it so much!

3. Metallic Raffia fringed skirt by Matthew Williamson

  This little skirt combines my three favorite features of clothes: metallic elements, texture and soft pink.

4. Golden shirt by Michael Kors

    Is there anything that would look better with collar and cuffs peeping from an oversized black sweater?

   

 

5.  Anglomania Lee skinny copper jeans

     I wonder if I can get that effect, spraying dark gold paint over old skinnies. 

 

Anyways, I am really tired. Going to bed. Maybe I will dream of a way to earn enough to buy those wonderful pieces.

I love mango (the fruit)

 Paris was wonderful, but I haven't really had time to look through the photos to make a post about my stay there. I plan to do that over the weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have a single photo of well-dressed people, because I got scared about asking whether they don't mind being photographed.

Today, I went to Coffee Heaven and got myself a Mangoccino - mango flavored cappuccino. I love mango! Where I live, coffee in cafes like Coffee Heaven costs  me my entire daily budget, but it is just a ritual - every time I am around that particular coffee shop, I just have to leave with a cup of coffee! Luckily, this only takes place once a month, or even less often! There are some details about an expensive coffee to take that I love, and that a home brewed coffee or the one from McDonalds (which is really good, as far as I am concerned) will never have. Holding the cup feels wonderful, but there's more! 

Decorating the coffee with patterns - who is skilled enough to do it at home?  And who cares about the way their coffee looks?

 Personalized cups - nothing sensational, but I love to discover a message hidden under the cardboard sleeve. This one says "have a nice day". 

Three years ago, I went to USA for the summer, and I got used to saying that to everyone. I came back home and told that little sweet phrase to everyone, and people always looked at me surprised. I am over the moon that now it's normal for people to say that and put on coffee cups! It's such a lovely habit. 

Funny thing about me and being so thrilled about a cup of coffee - I don't like that drink all that much! 

Oh, and sorry for the quality of photos. I don't carry my camera around, so I just spontaneously took these with my ipod.

shoe problems

My computer was being repaired after a virus attack for almost a month! that's why I hadn't posted a thing since the beginning of March.

Tomorrow morning I am going to Paris and I have got such a problem packing. I hate packing. How am I supposed to decide what I will want to wear three days from now? And I am not able to predict what kind of book I am going to want to read either. 

Still, my real problem is shoes. I never buy shoes for fun - looking for the right pair of shoes is nothing but exhausting and depressing experience through which I have to go every time seasons are changing. I have quite big feet , size 41. Most of the shoes that I like are already gone or never arrived from the factory. The rest doesn't look cute at all on a big, clumsy foot.  And I am so picky - I want my shoes to look good and I am hardly ever bothered about the comfort of a pair. So now that I am going walk around a city for about 8 hours a day (at school, I sit, mostly...), I had to find my old, devastated Converses (not those classic ones, but huge and weird, in black, white and turquoise) from my tomboy days. 

Blah!

Have a good week. I will!
