Too late!

Today it was a little late and consequently dark, but I wanted to take a picture of the outfit because I haven't presented my new white linen trousers yet.

But you'll have to wait a bit more for a better introduction... Good night!

Help!

I've been searching and searching for a new pair of shoes. I want them mid-heeled, but all heels I've found are very high or otherwise look like mature lady shoes. At last I've found these:

They're OK in the sense that they're sandals, mid-heeled and incredibly comfy. They're not OK in the sense that they're not what I was searching for in colour and shape.

The question is, should I keep them?? What do you think?? Please help me decide!

Perfect match

Namely, this:

Back in march, I bought some tights of other colours, and some time later, a cute pair of grey flats. When they met at home, it was love at first sight!
So I didn't wait long to wear the lovely same-colour tights+shoes combo:

I totally love summer, but I miss wearing tights :)

Brroooomm!

On wednesday it was darker because of the clouds... but I was happy with my new leather biker jacket!

Lately I'm loving brown though spring is near and normally I'd be wanting bright colours. Which one do you feel like wearing most right now?

Loving the details <3

This is my sister's new shirt:

And this is what I love of it:

Details in the inside are for the one who wears the item of clothing, I think it's cute of the designer to include them :)

Obsession?

Maybe, after so much searching for Oxfords, I have such an obsession that I can't stop buying pairs! hehe... But indeed, this time, it was because of the brown patent and the flat heel, I think I'll wear them a lot this winter :)

A bit cooler now

At the beginning of this month, I spent a few days in the very hot Naples and its surroundings, seeing the high amount of historical remainders that so many cultures left there since ancient times. Here's what I've got for you: in the next picture I'm holding a piece from a (rich) house's wall -- it's from the soft part of the wall, and its conical form allows it to move a little bit so that a (likely) seismic wave looses part of its strenght when it reaches the tough part of the wall, made of standard bricks. Greek people had the idea and later Roman invaders continued using it, this house is at Paestum. (Ok, I know it's hard to see, try enlarging the picture by clicking on it and see the wall in the background, which is made of these).

When I came back home I had to forget my holidays in no time, because this month I present my Master thesis and there were things that I still had to rewrite!! Today I'm doing a short break to post something :)

Autumn is starting to arrive, and these days you look at your wardrobe and see nothing proper to wear, because the breeze is cold but the sun is shining! These are some of my hot-but-cooler outfits of this week:

The T-shirt in the last one is from this summer buys and I especially like it because of (apart from the color and the print) the wonderful sleeves. I tried to take a picture (downwards) of it but I'm afraid it's a bit crappy... I hope you'll guess what I mean! ;)

And finally, today's question is: how do you face the change of season? Layering? Catching a cold like me?...

My dream-come-true shoes

Glorious oxford heels:

Buffalo, 109.90 eur + international shipping costs

And their evil twins:

Carrefour Tex, 39.90 eur

I love my new comfy, evil shoes :)

Cruel fate!

You might remember these shoes my mom gave me for my birthday:

I had to change them because they didn't fit my toes' shape. In return, I took this lovely pair:

I fell in love with them, the bows at the back are so cute and the checked inside is a detail I adore. However, my bad luck didn't leave me -- after no more than 5 days, the wedges began to peel off! So, back to the shop, I tried to say goodbye to them, but they refused to let me choose another shoes and only gave me a new pair. No way -- again back to the shop, and finally they gave me back the money.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding shoes this summer, though I have clear ideas of what I want. Maybe that's the problem! For now, I've only managed to get this pretty pair of red sandals:

I've taken some pictures but I've had a really busy time lately and haven't found a moment to post them: I had loads of work to finish before tomorrow, when I'll leave for a fortnight to a camp site. There'll be about a hundred boys and girls. Wish me luck! :)

Birthday!

Last tuesday I became a year older :) Though I spent 12 hours away from home, it was delicious anyway because of my dear partners at university and a wonderful dinner with my family and boyfriend late at night. Besides, it was funny to discover a videoclub which was about to close and selling everything for 1 to 5 euros - I arrived home with a few video-presents for them! :D

Lately I'm not very in the mood for pictures because of the loads and loads of work I have to do in no time, but I took some photos of my presents so that I can share with you :)

My sister gave me this cute summer dress and a matching necklace:

I received these two bags: the green one from some friends and the white one from my mother. I'm so happy with them :)

Also, my boyfriend gave me this special rucksack for my new laptop, which was something I really needed! However, he has taken it away because he's going to change it for a red one.

This little clutch is a gift from the same friends. It is a cosmetics clutch actually!

More beauty: this ticket from my parents counts for a series of laser depilation sessions. Yipeee!! :D

This item is really funny: an extra-mini-dress-like-towel! I'm thinking about taking it to the gym shower...

A pair of stockings from the same friends who gave me the towel, and this pretty shoes. It's a pity I have to return them because they hurt my feet :S

And last but not least, something that will keep me quite entertained: two books! The one of the left is a present from my boyfriend too, and he made me find it by following some clues round my home! It is indeed a mistery novel and it has a notebook attached with some material so that you can work out your way through it :D And the one of the right is Wicked, a gift from two friends who I took to that musical play!

I'm longing to see what this new age has for me :)

I'm not dead

Nor even in the hide. I've been away (away = Austria) for almost two weeks, and then really full of work. Volunteering stuff on weekends doesn't help, either. So I find really difficult to post something, as I'm at home only to sleep at night. This makes me think about the aim of this blog -- most of times I don't take pictures because I want them to have a proper quality, so that I can show them here, and in the end this means that the blog is not making me be constant in taking pictures but all the way round.

However, I tend to have a maternal feeling towards things I create, and I don't feel like "killing" this blog. I'm thinking about giving it a change of purpose, so that I can post brief things without having to take a proper picture. I have to give it a second thought, anyway.

But for now, I want to show you a few things I have received/bought lately and which I'm very happy about :)

First, this cap. I almost bought it in Graz, but fortunately I didn't, because it was waiting for me at home! My boyfriend's sister gave it to me as a present :)

This one I bought it myself because I'm starting aerobic lessons and I wanted (needed!) a beautiful sports bag to carry my sports things all day long. I really like this bag: beautiful, perfect size and easy to clean.

The best purchase of the year: these two pairs of shoes for only 26 euros! The red ankle boots are made of leather and only cost 20 euros; the navy flats have a little fault and that's why they were so cheap! I love late sales :)

After the whole winter I'm fed up with dark colors and I'm longing for spring to arrive! These sunny days were like a promise of warmth and light, and I couldn't resist to buy these yellow tights the moment I saw them.

I hope spring doesn't make us wait for very long :)
