Girls with glasses









Roses by maegamimami (found via loveology)
Carolina (girl with glasses) fashion squad
All other photos by me

I have been trying for ages to shoot flowers (roses) like the photo of maegamimami (still no luck)
but I'm happy how the fish turned out! I think my problem is the color green, I have a hard time getting the color the way I want it in photos..

Anyway this is what I'm up too when I'm not taking outfit pictures :)

ps. Carolina is such a muse! I wish I could wear glasses the way she does!!

My favorite blogger, Alix from the Cherry Blossom Girl designed a beautiful lingerie collection with Etam, I think most of you are already everyday on her blog but for the few that don't I really had to share!!

I always think of Alix that she must be the person who turns everything she touches into glittery gold and wherever she walks flowers will blossom and grow, like a stream of flowers following her path and all little fuzzies will follow her, little bunny's, kittens and birds. Shes an extremely talented photographer, stylist and designer, beautiful inside and out.

I already ordered some pieces from her collaboration with Etam, can't wait for them to come in!!

Birdy Birdy Birdy

birdy-6








Wearing; H&M Birdy playsuit, JC Mariel platforms from Solestruck

The weather just makes me happy.
I bought the Birdy playsuit last week, I forgot the price but it's def below the $30..

Oh, somehow it works miracles on the other sex, really didn't expect that but if you need a new Boyfriend or someone to carry your groceries, free meals, maybe someone to paint your room or just fix your whole house while your at it... buy the playsuit, the Birds attract Men like Cats!!
(be careful that they don't put you in a tiny cage)

In between (and casual) I wear the Bird Suit with ballet flats (the nude colored topshop ones)
or brogues and with a simple blazer (=perfect) and I think they will go perfectly with the Won Hundred flatforms too, no?

Lucette Bag
Aldo wedges
Style by Marina mint shorts



Alice Point designed
a line of amazing t-shirts and sweatshirts with Polish design duo Paprocki & Brzozowski. See lookbook here and shop for the tees and sweats here.

You know, the universe print in the cross totally made me drool! I decided to wear the sweater with mint colored shorts instead of jeans or black and found a reason to dig up my open toe Aldo wedges again ;)
