Double Volume

Good morning, darlings! 

Talk about volume, right?! And this time I went double, cause you either go double,

 or not at all. I know, I’m talking non-sense, but it’s 3 a.m. and I’m only dreaming 

of the fluffy pillow behind me. Let’s get back to the subject...oh, how much I’ve searched

for this perfect fabric, only I know. You can’t have this perfect volume without it and

 you know that I love volume. This time I thought about mixing two pieces of this kind, instead of the fitted top and flared skirt combo. Never tried it before, not the biggest fan, but it was worth trying it, cause this ensemble looks rather interesting, don’t you think?! I’m going to bed, cause I have a full weekend ahead, 

but I’m leaving you with this ton of pics. 

Happy weekend, guys! Have a great one!

Back in town

Hi, darlings! 

I’m back from my short vacay and I have so many things to tell you. 

All that this week, cause I have to run now. 

Doing absolutely nothing for a few days has its perks. 

Have a wonderful week!

Grunge

Hi, sweeties! 

Black, ripped jeans, plaid shirts...that’s the only reason some of us love Autumn. 

Of course, there are also the light leather jackets, the cashmere sweaters, 

the new ankle boots and...so many wonderful items. Don’t even get me started 

about the new collections! A treat for the eye, a stab for the wallet! 

Anyways, I was dying to get a red plaid shirt, not to wear it on, like normal people do, 

but tied up around the waist like you can see in these pics. Can’t wait to experiment

 more with it: shorts and over the knee boots, black dress, striped dress, pencil skirts,

 full skirts, everything goes, really. Just let your imagination run wild! 

Have a wonderful afternoon, guys!

Late Autumn Mornings

Good morning, darlings! 

How can you not love those warm late Autumn mornings? 

Or those wonderful Autumn afternoons? The weather is simply amazing this time of year. 
I would give anything for a weather like this all year long. 

This is what I wore yesterday for a walk in the city just before work. 

I actually had a blazer on top, but it was just too hot to keep it on for a single minute. 
Lately, I developed an obsession for cropped tops, so I basically wear them with everything. 
Here is another outfit suggestion with this crop I’ve actually got on sale. 
Although I wasn’t very sure about it, at first, it’s proven itself 
to be one of the most versatile pieces I bought this Summer. 

Have a wonderful and sunny weekend, guys!

Tomboy

Good morning, sweeties! 

There’s just something about me and simple, black and white outfits, lately. 

Will this be the end of my adventure with colors?! No way...I wouldn’t feel...well, me. 

As for this particular outfit, I was dying to try this androgynous look and what better 
occasion to do it, than by wearing my new pair of pants?!

Matched with a cropped top, a structured blazer and a pair of statement earrings, 

it has just the right amount of feminine details not to make me look like a...sir. 

Have a wonderful weekend, darlings!

Homey

Hi, guys! 

This must be my favorite outfit from the ones I wore lately. 

It has all the right elements for it: the boyfriend jeans, the comfiest heels ever, 

a crop top and this blouse. Fell in love with it after seeing it in the H&M showroom 

at the Press Preview, this Spring, had the best of luck finding myself in a H&M store

 when they were just putting it up for sale and went home as the proud 

owner of one of the coolest blouses/ vests ever. It has that cool vibe that 

instantly spices up any outfit, don’t you think?! 

Have a wonderful day, darlings!

Take Three

Hello, darlings! 

What started out as a rock-chic interpretation of this maxi, 

ended with me choosing...the wrong accessories. 

Truth to be told, I wasn’t feeling so tough that day, considering that I was 

coming after a 12 hours marathon at work. Anyway, something good is gotta 

come out of this... I have the chance to wear this skirt again in a different look. 

I’m thinking smokey eyes and biker boots. Until then, I have to endure the sky-high temperatures we are having here. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, on the contrary...
I couldn’t be more excited that I can finally work on my tan 
in the comfort of my own home...or back yard. 

My man is out of town for a few days, so I’m going to take some time off 

from the outfit posts, but I have something else prepared for you, guys, instead. 

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Urban 2

Good morning, guys!

 I know, I know...these pictures have the same background. 

Truth is... I fell in love with this wall the moment I saw it and I knew for a fact that it 

will be overused as a background for my pics. What I didn’t know, though, was that I will be using it for my very next post. Unfortunately, we had some stormy couple of days, 

so it was impossible for me to take any outfit pics. So, yesterday, when I took these ones, 

I had to choose the same location simply because I like the color coordination

 and the contrast between the outfit and the wall. 

As for the outfit, I know there’s a bit of a love-hate relationship between black and navy, but since I haven’t wore it before I thought I’d give it a try. Translation: this is the only high-waisted piece I own and I was dying to wear the top. But you haven’t heard that from me! You can find a better description of the pieces I’m wearing here. 

I have to run! 

Kisses, darlings

Update

Hi, guys! 

I’m very sorry for the lack of posts. 

I’ve been away for a few days and it feels like I’ve been gone for two weeks,

 that’s how many things I have to solve. Because I wasn’t able to take any outfit pics,

 I thought I’d make a post to let you know what I’ve been doing.  

This is an outfit that I wore last week to work.

 I promise you’ll see it in a proper outfit post soon, but I thought it would be...

fun and different to show it to you like this, also. Although is quite simple and minimalistic, some might say it’s a bold move, actually. Mixing navy with black is actually on the edge of do and don’t. Haven’t tried it before, so I thought I’d try it now. I love to experiment, mostly because you learn more from your mistakes, than from the things you haven’t done. I absolutely adore every single one of these pieces. My first love...this simple, minimalistic white clutch which I’ve been searching for months and months in every Zara store out there and ended up finding it on sale, last Summer. Loved it then, still loving it now! I simply love these chandelier earrings. Well, I love and have almost every single piece of jewelry H&M is selling, but that’s another story. Love the design and the chameleon reflexes. If we’re still in the accessories department, I have to confess that this cuff is still on My favorites list, even though I have it for almost two years, now. Again, I’ve been browsing the asos website and refreshing the jewelry page over and over for months and months, until I finally managed to find it in stock. Totally worth it, though!

I fell in love with these ankle-boots the moment I saw them online. 

I’ve been searching for a similar model since forever. Fortunately, they are extremely comfortable also, so I’m more than happy. Now let’s talk about the actual clothes. Long story short, been searching for a black pencil skirt since forever, found this beauty at H&M. Loving the length, even though it’s kinda difficult to walk in it. Also, this has to be the perfect crop top, ever. 
Love the fabric, the fit and the fact that it has long sleeves. 

I’m really digging this trend, I just think you have to find the right balance 

between how much skin you actually reveal.

Also...and this had to be the first thing on my list...

I hope you’ve spent a wonderful Easter day with your loved ones! 

As for the egg dying affair...well, it was a a huge failure this year. 

Until this year, my Easter eggs were always red. As they should be, if we keep in mind 

the origin of this tradition. It’s true that as a child I used to obsess on finding the cutest and colorful stickers to decorate my Easter eggs. I used to plan this activity with at least one month in advance. It was my favorite activity! As you may say, I haven’t evolved much... As I was saying, I had a strong belief that the Easter eggs should be red and nothing but red. Until this year. After listening to everyone bragging about their glittery, shiny and colorful eggs, I decided to buy this pearly colorful dye, also. Big mistake. Biiiig big big mistake. Saturday, the day before Easter, the moment I got home from work I started preparing the eggs for the dying process. Though it looked simple on paper, it was a hell of a lot of work, especially in terms of cleaning afterwards. 
To my disappointment, my Easter eggs looked like this in the end. My mother said they look like they were made by a 12 year’old with no taste whatsoever and I have to agree. 

I swore my Easter eggs won’t be other than red for the rest of my life.   

As I was telling you earlier, I’ve been away for a few...wonderful days with my boyfriend. We visited the Eastern part of the country and if I haven’t said it before, 

I will say it now: I love my country!

 I’ve been to a few places in my life, but I haven’t seen so much natural beauty as I’ve seen home. We’ve been blessed with the best! 

Too bad we don’t seem to appreciate it as we should.

 Anyway, it was wonderful...so peaceful and relaxing, 

I really needed this. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the mood to touch the camera, 
so the only pics I took were these, with my phone.

Also, I was in the mood of something sweet, today, so I prepared this home made tiramisu. 
I love this kind of recipes. So easy to do and so tasty!

 

Ingredients for 8 portions: 

500 g Mascarpone 

5 extrafresh eggs 

400 g ladyfinger biscuits 

120 g sugar bitter

cocoa powder for dusting 

600 ml of Italian espresso coffee 

Rum and vanilla sugar for extra flavor

Difficulty: very easy

Time: 30 min.

Let me tell you a few things about the ingredients, first. 

Try, please try to find this particular brand of mascarpone. It’s the best! 

Believe me, I’ve tried this recipe with various mascarpone creams and the taste can’t be compared. Also, I am extremely lucky to have my grandparents living in the countryside, so I only use fresh...home made eggs. Again, you can clearly see the difference in taste 

and flavor especially when it comes to cakes and sweets. 

As for those two extra flavors: vanilla sugar and rum, I have to admit: I am a flavor junky.
 I tend to add tons of flavors to my dishes. Cinnamon goes with almost every dessert (not this one, though) Also, everyone loves the way I spice the steaks! 

So, please, add vanilla sugar to the egg yolk and mascarpone mix and a few drops 

of rum in the coffee. You’ll thank me later!

Make enough Italian espresso coffee to soak the ladyfinger biscuits (at least 400 ml).

 Pour into a bowl, then sugar to taste and leave to cool. 

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and add half of the amount of sugar.

Beat the egg yolks together with half of the sugar to obtain a pale,

 fluffy and creamy mixture.

Fold in the mascarpone and whisk into a smooth cream.

Using a wooden spoon gently add the beaten egg whites 

to the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture, mixing from the bottom upwards.

Your tiramisu cream is now complete.

Place the ladyfinger biscuits in a container and start to wet them with the coffee.

Cover the ladyfinger biscuits with a layer of mascarpone cream, 

spread even with a spatula and dust with bitter cocoa powder.

Now arrange a second layer of ladyfinger biscuits.

Cover with the remaining cream and spread even.

Once you have completed this operation, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with bitter cocoa powder and chill in the fridge for a few hours to allow the dessert to set.

Wait, don’t go! I have another recipe for you, guys! 

Remember the coffee you made for the tiramisu? I hope you weren’t planning to throw away the leftovers! The coffee grounds is one of the best natural ingredient that works wonders for your skin. Not only does it fight against the stubborn cellulite, but it also leaves you with a smooth and soft baby skin. So, let me tell you about my favorite body scrub. 
I’ve given up buying scrubs, exfoliators and all sorts of gommages, years ago. 

Tons of money spent and no results! I discovered this recipe and I thought I’d share it with you, guys, today! Most of you already know and use it, but still. 

 All you need is: coffee grounds, olive oil and corn flour.

 So, use the coffee leftovers you have from the tiramisu, add corn flour and extra virgin olive oil 
until the dry ingredients are soaked.

 Mix well and apply it generously on your body, using light circular movements.

 Insist on the problem areas, such as thighs, stomach, buttocks, elbows and knees. 

Rinse with warm water and enjoy your fabulous skin! 

Enjoy!
