Ombre maxi dress | Outfits

Lately, a lot of you have been asking to see me in a maxi dress. I’ve worn maxis on the blog before (here, here and here some examples) and I wore a few this summer too, but I didn’t have the chance to photograph any of these outfits. So when I wore this maxi dress the other day (which I hadn’t shown on the blog so far) I told T. that we HAD to take photos in it. When I first got this ombre dress 2 years ago, I loved it, but then the next year I didn’t wear it at all, and this year, I’m not even sure. Does it look good on me? Should I keep it? I’d love to hear your opinion.

Shop my closet | Shop launch

Today, I’m super excited to announce to you that I just launched my shop. It’s something that was an idea in my head for over a year, and that I’ve meaning to do for months. It’s something that makes me super excited but at the same time a bit stressed too. It’s something new to me, and since I haven’t done it before, I have to learn how to do it. But let me tell you a few things about this new shop. All items on this store are taken from my closet. Most of them are slightly-worn and some of them never-worn, and have been sitting in my closet for years. I’m one of those people that get easily attached to anything, including inanimate objects, so I hesitated a lot before taking the decision to sell them. But since I haven’t worn them in years, there’s no reason for them to sit in my closet any longer. I worked really hard on this shop. I had to choose the items I didn’t need any more, make sure they’re in a good condition, photograph them (huge thanks to my model, my cousin A.!), wash them, iron then, create the shop, upload each item by hand, and then finally launch the shop. Also, huge thanks to T., who’s helped me with some technical stuff, but mostly because he’s been “holding my hand” during this really stressful but also exciting process. So check out the shop, browse through the categories (we have jeans, pants, tops/blouses, skirts, shorts, and bags), click on the items you like, to read their description, see more detailed photos, and add them to your cart, so they can find a new owner and be re-loved! Finally, huge thanks to all of you! Without your love and support, I probably wouldn’t have done this. So thank you very much!

July 2013 | Wishlist

This month is all about playful pieces, like dresses, skirts, playsuits and swimsuits. Add some shorts, bikinis, magazines, and cocktails and I’m satisfied. I imagine myself next to the pool or at the beach sipping cocktails, reading magazines, doing a bit of tanning, and relaxing. Putting on a flirty dress during summer sunsets, going out for long walks, waffles and ice cream, and then dance the night away at a beach bar….That’s all I need. What is your favorite piece of this wishlist? And what are you plans for this summer?

My month in pics – June 2013

Last day of June today, and I still haven’t had the chance to go to the beach for my first swim. But I’m sure that this will happen during July. June was a full month for me. I’m so proud of myself because I managed to do all things on my list (some of which I’ve been postponing for months). Well, my list still has something on it. Something I’ve been working hard on for the past month. But if things go as planned, you’ll find about it really soon. No spoilers for now! Let’s see my June in photos then. I showed you only 6 outfit posts this month, but for a good reason (click on the numbers to be directed to the posts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Which is your favorite? June also included: a guest post by Summer, a new wishlist, a post about my bf’s gift to me, my now beloved iPhone, the 3rd part of our blogging tips series on how to drive traffic to your blog,  my home office redecoration post (did you liked the shoes on display?), a manicure tutorial on how to outline your nails and finally a big giveaway for an Avon make up palette in collaboration with my friend Elena Avon Girl. Wow! That was indeed a full month! How was yours? Leaving you with photos of my Facebook page and new Instagram account, to see what you missed. 😉
