No time to breathe

I've been a bad blogger lately, but believe me, it's really not because I'm lazy...I'm a little bit overwhelmed with work, family and the "big move"...There's no other way to explain it, just I really don't have the time to breathe...

But things will get better and I was ready for this period of time, when everything is hectic and crazy, but I didn't think there will be so many issues I need to take care of and it's holidays! Which means some things will happen later than I need them to... Too bad I don't even have time to tune in and see what's going on with the fashion week and my favorite blogs...

Anyway, enough about that :)

Since this is once again a night photos, I just had to add some sparkles and sequins with my favorite leather skirt and top... This color combination: Black and pale pink is one of my favorites: it looks fresh and elegant at the same time... I kept my jewelry minimal but I feel like a chunky necklace would work good as well (I don't have something like that but maybe I'll go jewelry hunting this week at Gan ha Hashmal).

The shoes aren't new, I got them in NY (amongst others) at Century 21 for 100$ which is a find and is the same price as Zara shoes for example...I'm very proud of myself for snatching to pairs from that sale section :)))

This time I will be short, so have a great week everyone :)

Skirt: vintage, Jacket+top: Zara, shoes: Sergio Rossi...

Sparkle

After a short break that seems like an eternity for the blog world, I'm back with pictures of my new dress...I'm sorry...My new favorite dress...!!!

I bought it from Etsy.com and I just cannot believe my luck! It has every feature I was looking for in a sequined dress and it's one of the kind, because it's vintage and all the sequins are hand stitched !!! You cannot believe the amount of work someone put in this dress...Well now it is in a very appreciative hands!!! 

Me and the boyfriend decided that this dress requires a night photo shoot, although I can see how it is possible to make it more "day" appropriate with a grey cardi and a pair of flat boots... Maybe come fall I will show the toned down version of this dress, but right now it makes me feel festive and it sparkles!!!

The shoes are also a new buy from Aldo. I have to say that it's my first pair of heels from this brand and I'm impressed with how comfortable they are! 

On a bit different note, I'm building my fall wardrobe right now and I mysteriously find myself returning to one color: black! I want everything and anything in black... Sleek, smart, fitted, that's what I want come fall... Maybe this is the returning student in me talking, but yes I do need some smart clothes for my school... 

I remember when I did my first degree I was considered a bit too fancy looking for my college and I didn't even wear heels or something that I would consider "out there", so I hope this time I will get a chance to go crazy with my outfits!!!

Time is running out and I have this ticking clock inside my head telling me "So much to do, so little time" but somehow this just makes me to slow down and freeze instead of being productive...So I'm racing against the clock!

Dress: Vintage from Etsy.com, shoes: Aldo

Have a great week everyone!!!

And thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for taking pictures!!!

Yellow skirt

After the pastel colors and light garments, I just had to wear something darker, with textures and contrasts...so here's a mixture of sequins, jeans, jersey and silk :))






I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine not a long time ago about personal style...I always admired people who have a cohesive and very personal style, which you can always recognize...Girls like Rumi or Alix or Gala have such a wonderful approach to clothes, though each one is different and unique...Even when they experiment and push the boundaries they remain true to their style...






I always find that very hard to stick to one style. One day I love florals: sometimes tiny delicate prints, sometimes big and loud prints. The next day I'm more in rough studded stuff and leather. Then I go completely girly and choose to wear pastels. And after that I feel like wearing a plain white tee with a basic black skirt...





It is really hard for me to choose a color pallet, because there are too many colors that I love and generally so many directions that are tempting me and I can't just stick to one...





But I guess that is also ok, since fashion is all about fun and trying and making it work for you...Unlike my hair, that really doesn't want to cooperate these days :)








I just have to add that I'm in love with my new shoes from Mango! They exist in metallic version (besides black and white) and I only hope that they will still have it stocked in the store during the sales...because buying two pairs of shoes for full price is too much...(since it's not the only pair I bought this month, more on that in further posts)... Comfy and really versatile, I think they will be one of my favorite pairs this summer :)





Off to bed now!
Have a great week :)

Sequins and feathers and beads

Lately I developed a "thing" for sequins and embellishments. Usually I'm a very conservative- muted or dark colors lover. But lately my closet started to fill with all sorts of sequined pieces, beaded dresses and clutches. I even bought a blue feathered handbag...(!) Some of the pieces are wearable and some of them are just for pure fun. Sequins add some sort of festiveness to everything, and lighten up even the most boring outfit...and that is the reason I love them...

These shoes have never been worn, I bought them 4 years ago, and just couldn't find the right occasion, but it doesn't make me love them less...Do you have some items that you love but just can't find the right time for them?
