little Eiffel Tower necklace

as a special nameday present! The heart reads "Amour". The window is pretty dusty, as I noticed later when transfering the photos from the camera to my laptop. Haven't yet figured out of what kind this tree outside my window is. There seems to be a problem with the backspace button on the keyboard. My laptop is slowly dying away.

Got my 15 minutes


A million thanks to Lucky Hellas!


Well, this is the 1/4 of the page hosting 4 Lucky readers , part of the whole article including 12 readers wearing absolutely affordable clothes, according to their very own style of course. Very sorry about the quality, i do have a magnificient printer/scanner which I barely know how to use. Hint: the heels are higher than they seem!

here is a free translation of the text (I 'm going out in an hour and haven't even applied the make-up base yet):

ΜANUAL TO SMART SHOPPING

"A sweater like this, safely transfers an outfit from night to day"

See you downtown!

the 4 days...


...of r&r ended up being 1 week of sickness, lying in bed with nose decongestant and tissues, surviving on a diet of soups and tea. I 'm still in the recovering process so this is the only photo I came up with today, thanks to my brand new compact Sony cyber-shot camera (at last!). Those legs belong to the boyfriend.

this four-days long weekend...


is going to be creative and energy - re-filling. Many books to read, tea to drink, homemade chocolate fudge to devour, maybe some movies and some writing too. Can't really remember the last time I sat down and wrote a bit. Couldn't resist buying one more coat, an H&M Divided that is, in black this time. My old creme-beige is still alive and kicking thanks to the dry cleaner's in my neighbourhood, but what's more classic than a retro-looking black one with large pockets for my hands to keep warm?

after his graduation...


...went for lunch then grabbed a cappucino. I love this cold air, though I can't stand it. Actually I love when getting inside a warm and welcoming interior. My coat needs dry - cleaning. Tomorrow.

strawberry fields forever




What the last 2 weeks have been about: mum visiting for a week, her shopping mania was contagious / rushing in the amphitheatres at the university with my thermostatic mug filled with filter coffee / laughing out loud with co-students in the corridors during breaks / contemplating on buying a few more clothes as well as David Sedaris's When You 're Engulfed In Flames / sleeping early and waking up early, fixed my biological clock a bit / completely abandoning MySpace and Facebook for the much more practical Twitter / taking part at Swap not Shop! party No2 - really helped the re-organisation and renovation that my wardrobe is undergoing at the moment / spending the 1/3 of my money this month for ELLE, Vogue, Glamour, Starbucks, beers, a red beret and painkillers / obsessing with Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett / loving his new Fred perry bag...

in desperate need of a new camera (and some sleep)


A sneak peak of some fresh buys (purchased about 5 hours ago). I am currently undergoing a serious shopping-mania phase after a couple of months including scarce buys. Very focused on what I want/need though. So here are my new brown oxfords plus heels, and yes, pijamas with cute little sheep on it. 100% cotton.
