Down the rabbit hole...

I have to admit, after putting pictures from Milan on the blog, I wanted to savor the moment
 for as long as I could and not updating and seeing it as the most current thing here
 calmed me down, because I really didn't want to leave...

But things are moving forward and now I'm getting used to my new routine and learning a lot.

And since there is no photographer in sight (the boyfriend is absent and my super
talented Karen is in Milano :)) ) there was no way for me to document my outfits,
even though they were quite interesting for the last week or so...I guess I will have to recreate.

For now I will concentrate on what still takes lot's of my time and it's decorating...
Maybe this blog will soon reincarnate as a design blog?
 (I don't think so but I myself started to follow many many design blogs as a result)

Fresh flowers I buy every week. I started doing this when I was living in Milan.

 Flowers always cheer me up :)

Vintage wallpaper that was given to us by a friend for a door restoration project. 

These were the leftovers that I didn't feel like throwing away.

These pictures (second one is in the image below) came from my grand grand mother. 

I have no idea where she got them from and how old they are, 

but I'm sure glad that I had enough brains not to ruin them when 

I got them at 12 years old. 

The pictures are printed on what looks like silk and they are pretty amazing!

I always felt that Laduree packaging is too good to throw away. 

It is part of my bedroom decoration now :)

The pink chair has a neon friend in shape of this ultra bright orange fabric that is soon to become a skirt and hopefully a small pillow as well...

Vintage doorknobs from the 60's I ordered on Ebay. 

Yet to install them on the doors, but I love them so much!

Some goodies I brought from Milan. 

The bra is just too pretty to keep in the closet :)

The rabbit ring is another cheap and great find at my favorite accessories 

shop in Chinatown, close to where I lived in Milan.

Hope I will soon be able to take some outfit pics...

Have a great week!!!

Dresses and flowers...

Some days, when I rush to work...especially when it's hot and sticky outside (and the air conditioner at work is broken), the only thing I can imagine wearing is a long breezy dress...





This in particular has caught me with the bright print and the lovely chiffon fabric (I'm a sucker for everything chiffon)...

Not being a huge fan of big cleavages I piled on a bunch of wooden necklaces my mom bought me while she was in Siberia, to add some contrast to the dress...






On a different note: right now I'm toying with an opportunity to go to New York for one week to see my boyfriend, but I'm not really sure how it's going to work out...





I never been to US and New York is one of my "must" destinations, but the timing couldn't be worse...with my graduation and birthday on the way (Not to mention Italy), I'm not sure how I can pull this off...but I surely hope this trip will happen!!!







Have a great weekend!
