A woman's affair

Oups! Seems like I said I would post this yesterday and I kind of missed the deadline. It's been happening to me lately: skiping deadlines, missing appointments, forgeting promises. I'm just too stressed. I'm even too tired and lifeless that I can't strike a pose for an outfit post. However, it seems like I'm not always that careless (thank you so much, past me, for taking these gorgeous pics!!). Upon rearranging my computer files (because yes, procrastination), I discovered that I had yet to unleash some of my past looks, even one from the Basic Item series I was promising before I left for Craiova.

As for the look, you might say it's not that me. And it actually isn't. I am in love with color, more or less, and I always add that touch of crazy and chic in all of my outfits, but it seems like I went for a more mature look in this one. I don't really remember the story I wanted to tell with this outfit, not because it was too long ago, but because it's so simple, yet refined, that it invites anyone that sees it to think of a story.

Today, I think that this semi-transparent blouse is the perfect item for a business woman: soft and delicate in the front, and edgy in the back. You know, like in that quote. Who's quote? The Iron Lady's, of course!

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Lazy Saturday

It's cold outside, but I'm hot inside. Meaning I haven't left my comfy PJs yet and I'm indulging in some hot coffee, while doing some weekend reading. I haven't quite had any time to relax this week, even if I'm enjoying a very long holiday, so this Saturday afternoon is probably going to be the victim of manichure tryouts and Skype conversations. As for the outfit I'm presenting you, is something I captured in pictures yesterday. I'm very sorry I hadn't got the idea of taking the pics earlier, because, as you can see, the light isn't very helpful in surprising the details.
I chose to wear the garter tights because I somtimes crave for a little sexy and I guess that in the middle of the winter, this is probably the best way to give a hint of hotness ^_^ . As for the rest, I wore knit on knit, the perfect combo for hitting the snow, accesorised with some golden accesories.
Another thing I really want to talk about is the background. Though it might not seem a fabulous choice, it's my favorite decor. Don't ask me why, I still haven't figured it out!

Have a lovely Saturday and don't forget to read some good pages!

Sparkly spark!

I like to think of myself as a wise spender, but every time I leave the house, temptations are all around me and it's so hard sometimes to stay true to your wallet and not splurge. But this didn't happen this weekend, when I went to buy some groceries, I ended up buy a couple of more things... A bra, a pair of earrings and a pair of sparkling boots. In my defense, they are really amazing and I've been looking for a similar pair for a while now. The heel feels like inexistent, the rounded toe area is perfect because it's not too circle-like, therefore suits my small feet, and don't even take me to the perfect combination of suede and sparkle. I already wore them a couple of times, but I can't wait to show you at least a dozen ways of styling them!
