ShopAKIRA lace shorts and ruffle tunic, DIY fur bag and DIY YSL palais mohawk pumps by Micol from feedyourstyle.com

My past week consisted of; Moving, Ikea, moving again, back to the Ikea, assembling an Ikea Pax wardrobe which literally took the whole day to mount together and which investment means eating peanut butter for the rest of the month, ha ha.. I'm still waiting for the H&M curtains to come in and then I'm almost all set! I'm so happy how everything looks!!

The high-lights of the week were some of the amazing packages that came in! they totally made up for the horrible mounting of the Ikea wardrobe :)

The shopAKIRA lace shorts and ruffle dress/tunic are both from Akira's Black Label and really beautifully and well made, I'm in love with the materials and the perfect shade of cream! I already planned out like 5 different outfits with them haha

The diy Mongolian fur bag and the diy YSL palais mohawk pumps are sent to me by Italian blogger Micol Zanzuri from feedyourstyle.com who did an amazing diy with feathers to make the idea her own and who gives tutorials on all her designs for a TV show called Fashion Attack seen here. I love Micol, her vibe and videos make me happy and I'm drooling over her diy's!!

The other packages that arrived are as delicious as these and I can't wait to share them in a post but first.. the last bits of moving are today and then I can finally enjoy my new little home!!

Not so Glassy

I'm wearing; Wildfox Tee, H&M sweatpants, lace socks and shoes, glasses from buffalo exchange

Sweatpants always instantly change when combined with heels, sandals, ballet flats and even boots, one thing is for sure though; I always skip sneakers when wearing them! (it's kind of my sweatpants golden rule)

Mostly I like to make soft knitty looks with these comfy trousers but today I felt like going a bit retro by adding the glasses, the socks and the wooden-like sandals, just trying something new.

Yum Yum

photo 1; Yum Yum the mouse with "the cherry blossom girl for miss Etam" tote
photo 2; roses by maegamimami
photo 3; by the Cherry Blossom Girl



I don't even do Yum Yum justice with this photo, she's such a pretty mouse and really sweet. Normally I like to photograph in daylight but my little Siamese friends (Yum Yum and Stevie) don't agree on daylight..

So I had to adjust myself to evening shots without a flash!! eek, it's something that I'm not used to do and since these two like to move around at night it's very hard to get a good shot haha!! I think I tried every setting on my Camera and most photos only showed a tail or a beige colored woosh..

Yum Yum really liked to play peek-a-boo in, under and on top of the Cherry Blossom Girl for miss Etam bow tote that just arrived (a mouse with good taste)

ps. As much as I love my little critters they really shouldn't be kept as pets, for all reasons possible!! They shouldn't be caged but roam free and for people; they seriously carry an unbearable smell, seriously!!

Lucette

I'm wearing; Shoulder bag and Harnessed suede brogue both from Lucette (good close-ups also in this post here), Dress from H&M, Alexander Wang blazer


I'm moving this week to a new studio apartment so I'm crazy busy making the new place my home, running back and forth, buying furniture, deciding on rugs and curtains...
ooh, I just can't wait to show you guys the pics of my new place!!

The Lucette shoulder bag is small but not too small, it fits all my daily necessaries and has a good closure, two things very important for me, also I can actually find things in this bag so I wont have to dig for minutes to find my keys, or my phone haha, no need to say that it became my all-day regular bag!

Hunter

I'm wearing; Wildfox Hunter Box Tee, H&M leather Skirt. TopShop Ballet flats, Tory Burch bag

Seriously loving the Wildfox animal printed box Tees (the Fox, the Cat and these Dogs)

The t-shirt was just asking to be styled with a leather skirt (and who am I to say no to a T-shirt?)

I'm still trying to photograph more in the shade to edit the photos later becoming pale and washed out, I'm not quite there yet with what I wanted to do, we'll have to try different camera settings the next time I guess. In the first photo I simply added "noise" in photoshop for the grainy effect..

btw.. I think I'm developing hayfever :( so bummed out because its totally my fav season and I love the dancing pollens only now they make me sneeze, give me a runny nose and red watery or swollen eyes, totally sucks!! I have never had this before...
