Mustard pleats and popping blue

Well, I would have never thought I'll see the day when I'll wear

an asymmetrical skirt, but this one I kinda like.

I like the colours, the pleats and the asymmetry is not that obvious.

And the mustard shade goes just perfect with my electric blue shoes

and my super cute vintage bag :)
The blue just pops in this outfit :)

DIY wedding centerpieces

My wedding centerpieces represent another DIY project of mine and I

am very happy with the outcome :)

Here is one of them:

The story began like this: 

you take one transparent glass bowl

Some coffee beans

And one DIY paper rose. Tutorial here

Because I didn't like the white colour of the cotton lace from the bottom

of the rose, I dipped it in fresh made coffee and voila the result.

Much better :)

What do you think?

Aren't they pretty?

And they smell like coffee :)

Long live the green!

Boyish...

Whenever I want to feel young (not that I'm not :) I go for a boyish outfit.

This one for example makes me feel like I'm 17 again.

God, that was such a nice age.

Oh, to be young and restless again :))

Anyway, enjoy the photos:

I'm wearing:

Blazer: Lashez

Pants: Pull & Bear

Bag: H&M

Flats: Poema

Long live the green!

Cappuccino pleats and mint

My pleats are not exactly cappuccino, but perhaps a shade close to it.

Anyway they are great :) and I love them.

Not to mention that buying this skirt was quite a bargain :)
God, I'm lucky when it comes to buy clothes :)

I paid approx 5 Euros for it.

Another item I adore is the bag - I had my eyes on it even before it was on sale,

but it was kinda pricey so I just lingered at it through the window.

Imagine my surprise when I saw it on sale - and it was the last one half the price.

I couldn't believe my eyes :)

Hope you like these items too :)

Enjoy the photos:

I'm wearing:

Skirt: Atmosphere

Blouse: Poema

Bag: Zara on sale :)

Shoes: random store

Long live the green!

My wedding dress - story and preview

My wedding dress is almost ready and I'm very happy :)

I took some pictures while I was trying it on, 

but it's not ready - the length of it is not yet adjusted.

I altered a bit the pictures because I didn't like the background :)

What I can tell you is that the colour is not pure white - it's a buttery white :)

Just like my civil ceremony dress, the wedding dress is my idea

 and I'll tell you what got me inspired.

First of all I wanted to buy a dress, but after going from store to store I knew 

that I will never find something I liked.

So I started my research.

I found this picture while browsing - I know the picture is taken at a wedding fair.

I liked it, but the skirt was a little too puffy, it showed too much skin
and it was kinda modern for me :)

So, I tried to find a solution that worked for me.

And I did.

I found this blouse at Zara and I just loved the lace details of it -
so the inspiration came along :)

I asked the seamstress to make the blouse tighter and to make me 

a skirt similar to the one in the first picture, but not that puffy.

And she did :)

This is my own result :)

As a personal touch I'll have a cameo pin at my neck :)

How do you like it? :)

There you have it: my lovely wedding dress :)

Follow me if you want to see the whole thing: hair, makeup, etc. :)

Long live the green!

Feeling blue

Not just blue, but also a little orange :)

I love these colours together.

Along with the dotted scarf and the doll shoes :) they make 

a perfect colour blocking outfit.
