While browsing online a while ago I found this jacket that I really liked. Went to my local Lindex and didn’t find it there. After a while I ended up forgetting about it. Yesterday I found it at another store and it was on sale.
How lucky am I!? LOL
The sleeves are see-through and not white like they look in the picture. This will be a great statement piece for spring and summer.
I spent the weekend spring cleaning except for a movie date, we saw Insurgent, with N and lunch at the grandparents house on Sunday. The struggle is real, let me tell you. I have way more clothes, bags, shoes than I can fit in my tiny walk-in-closet.
How was your weekend?
Selfies while I waited for my friend to pick me up
Have I mentioned I love spring?
The sun is finally peeking out and it is giving me life.
My usual makeup base with an Elizabeth Arden lipstick, Cassis. And Essence Quattro eyeshadow.
I am also wearing my colorful spring blouse from HM+
When this weekend rolls around I’ve worked 33 days in a row…Only two days within these 33 have been without an obligation involving other people. I’ve had two Saturdays “off”. But, since I’m working on so many things right now I had to take a few hours even there to catch up on everything.
Don’t take this post as me complaining, I’m just stating facts. It is what it is, it has to be done so I’m doing it. I chose this.
I was on my way home last night, from yet another weekend away working. To cheer myself up I was browsing online stores and ended up with this small order.
Last year I ordered a black and white suit like this one but it never arrived. I’ll try this one out and see if I like it. I also had to get some staples like the T-shirts and the skirt was just an impulse order.
I freaking love spring!
Work mode is in full effect. I have so many exciting things going on, I leave work just to go home and work some more. The sunshine we’ve been having these last few weeks is doing wonders for me and my creativity. As soon as I can tell you about the things I’ve been working on, you know I will.
Later today I have a meeting and after that I’m meeting up with some friends for a drink. Therefore I incorporated my going out outfit with my work outfit.
My new business cards arrived yesterday!
I absolutely love them. I designed them all on my own and they are perfect. I wanted something simple with a bit of me. I want my whole business to reflect me and the business itself. So the business cards go along with the blog and the address is personalized, which looks so much better than just a regular yahoo address that I had before.
Super happy with the new design of the blog and everything else!
Yesterday I went to the post office to pick up a few packages and while waiting for my turn I popped in to my local H&M store. As soon as I saw this top I fell in love with it. It screams spring to me and reminds me of a rainbow for some reason. I think this will be a staple for me this spring/summer. I see myself wearing it with shorts as well as skirts, pants and jeans.
With it I see myself wearing my new shoes! I picked these up this weekend! I love a casual look and these will go great with my style. My favorite are the plimsolls.
I love spring!!!
When I was in London in February I saw a girl in Primark with a bag I fell in love with. She literally walked past me and when I saw the bag I followed her upstairs to she shoe and bag section. I waited for the opportunity to present itself for me to ask her without me coming off as a stalker and a weirdo. She was super sweet about and told me it was a Victoria Beckham bag. Ever since then I’ve been looking for it but I can’t find it, it’s sold out everywhere.
I’m talking about the Tweed Liberty Tote
This is my makeup of the weekend. And I literally mean it, I wore it Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I mean I took it off at night and put it on every morning. I like my shades of pink and this look it super pretty for spring.
I’m wearing the Bobbi Brown bronzing powder in Maui. My cousin gave this to me, last summer during her wedding weekend.
And on my lips I’m wearing a Tanya Burr lipgloss, Picnic in the Park, I picked this up in London last summer.
In the summer I wear sandals, flip-flops and flats but I used to have a hard time finding a good shoe for spring. It’s too cold for the previously mentioned styles and to hot for boots. A few years ago I got a checkered red and black pair of Vans and I love them. I still have them and since then it’s pretty much all I’ve been wearing in the spring. I also like my Converse!
I’m looking for a new pair of espadrilles/vans for this spring and these are some of the styles and colors I like.
1. Pink Quilted Slip On Plimsolls
2. Vans Classic Pebble Snake Glacier Slip On Trainers
3. Vans Authentic Slim Geometric Trainers
4. Yes Coconut Stripe Espadrilles
5. Vans Authentic Slim Deep Lake Trainers
6. Vans California Era Nature Camo Plimsolls
7. Vans California Classic Slip-On Leather Plimsolls
What are your favorite shoes for spring?
