Finally

 My go-to outfit in this crappy weather: Zara knitted hat, H&M jacket, Zara turtleneck, Mango jeans, Adidas bag, Roma gloves, River Island shoes
 My more artsy look: Mango dress, Zara sweater, United Colors of Benetton scarf, Paul B bag, sneaker wedges, red lipstick (Catrice: Ultimate Shine in 130 Ketch-me-up)

Today is the first day that actually felt like Spring. The weekend was coldish and almost raining, 1st picture is from Friday night. we stayed at home and the boy bought wine (that's what's in the bottle btw). On Saturday we went to a gallery to see the works of Rona. He's a painter and sculpture and I quite enjoyed seeing his work. I wore my new Mango dress - note to self - wait to wear this dress until the weather permits to wear it without a jacket. (As with one it is not the most flattering...)

Saturday night we also went to the pub - I wore this Zara TRF dress that I hadn't had on in ages. *The dress in the background is from Reserved and it's new and I cannot wait to wear it but the occasion hasn't arrived yet. Oh and that's the back of the dress.

Sunday was definitely my favorite day - we went to the Zoo. I love the Zoo. I especially love the piggies at the Zoo. I know, I know, I already have a pig at home, but I can't help it. It wasn't the warmest but at least the Zoo wasn't too crowded. I always take a ton of photos of all the animals, but almost always forget to get the boy to take one of me. Luckily I managed this one picture:) (I also have another one of my Instagram: msveveve)

Making the Best of It

Or trying to, but I bet everyone is fed up with the cold by now, even the winter lovers amongst us. This is what I wore yesterday to the pub:

(River Island boots, Mango coat, Zara hat, Stradivarius bag, Simply Vera - Vera Wang jersey dress, Mango sweater, Roma gloves)

Let's talk about the shoes for a moment. They were a gift from the boy last winter? (Perhaps the winter before.) Anyways, I love them. They are a bit quirky, stylish, yet still comfy and casual. They are the perfect no-heel ankle boots for me. I'm wearing them today too :) Here's a close up:

I'm running off to a seminar now so see you soon and happy weekend everyone!

Hey It's Still Winter Over Here!

Dear Readers,
whoever has Spring-like weather already - I'm entirely jealous! It's bloody winter over here, with the freezing nights and the snow we'll be getting tomorrow. I'm basically wearing various versions of the outfit pictured below - warmest coat, thick shawl, hat, gloves, jeans, trusty boots. Plus multiple sweaters. Seriously, no fun. I mean, don't get me wrong, I LIKE outerwear and layering and all that and I adore cute boots too but after a while it gets old and you just want to put on a cute dress and a pair of sandals. Or wedges. Or ballerina flats. Man, I miss those the most right now!

Pictured above: Zara coat, Zara jeans, Zara boots, Stradivarius bag, Pull&Bear shawl, thrifted sweater, Roma gloves, Gate hat

Actually, I had some fun outfit wise on Saturday. The boy & I & some friends went to a pub and then for cocktails. I threw caution to the wind and wore a cute dress and AMAZING shoes, with a V-neck sweater and a thinner coat. I felt gorgeous, but I did almost freeze to death. All-in-all it was worth it (especially since we took a taxi home!) and surprisingly my feet weren't killing me at all.

H&M dress, Bershka sweater, Asos mustache watch, Stradivarius bag and Maison Martin Margiela for H&M boots with plexi glass wedge (it's looks like I'm walking on air - perfection!)

Sorry that the picture isn't better but it was taken via my phone cam and was posted on instagram, follow me here.

Shades of grey

We've had a bit of the chill a few days ago and that meant back to the winter coats and thick tights. Shades of grey matching the dark skyes seemed just right. (H&M winter coat, Zara sweater, Stradivarius jean miniskirt, H&M tights). And in reaction to the comment posted on the "Addicted to candy" post: I ended up getting these two pairs from Six. I'm also currently working on a bunch of my own earrings so stay tuned for the results;))
