Autumn Essentials #1

(very *natural* pose..)

Autumn is fast approaching, and I'm sure you will agree that a new season means new clothes, or at least a few key pieces to last for the season (and hopefully a bit longer). So I thought I'd share with you some of my essentials, starting with camel tapered trousers and dark brown loafers: a rather simple outfit yet one I really like and feel comfortable in!

Trousers: Zara // Tee shirt: Zara // Loafers: vintage // ring: Primark

n.b: I'm afraid my photos are as bad as ever, but I've decided not to let that stop me, and I am determined to make this blog worth reading/seeing!

What are your Autumn essentials?? I'm really curious!

Zara e-shop!

September is here! I'm afraid I haven't written a single article during August, I worked so much.. I have now a new job (yay), and have enrolled at London College of Fashion today (but more on that later!)
For now, let me show you some pieces that I love from Zara Autumn-Winter collection! Their e-shop opened yesterday, and after seeing some of the items below, I decided to have a look IRL.. I must say I could not help to purchase one of them.. Can you guess which one? ;)

- I love this dress because of the colour and shape, it's really feminine and I love the combo white socks/sandals!
- Leopard trousers? So not me, right? That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them, yet I love them and they fit perfectly (this does not mean I bought them hehe)

- The whole military/grunge look is really a major trend, and this parka would be great for Autumn.. Plus I have a newfound obsession for kakhi!
- I love the leather pockets, I think they make this -otherwise- rather plain shirt quite unique!

- Such a cute tweed blazer! It's actually from Zara Kids, they do the same one for women, but at twice the price! So if you're a size 6-8, make sure to have a look there first! Oh, and the blazer has patches!
- Wedge boots, camel colour: sooo perfect (or so I think!)

So, of all these pretty things, which one did I buy today? Make a guess! & if you have been on the website, what do you like best?

Lula Pop-up Shop & Jazmine

Hey there! Last week I went to the Lula Pop-up shop at Harvey Nichols, it was such a lovely little shop/exhibition, which has been set to celebrate the magazine's 5th anniversary!

On that day I also met up with the lovely Jazmine from the blog Jazzabelle's Diary, we first went to see the Peter Rabbit Exhibition at the V&A (we both are huge fans of the museum) and then I finally went to the Grace Kelly exhibition (thank you Jazmine :)) Both exhibitions were great!
Here are some pictures of Jazmine, she is so pretty and stylish, she has a talent for creating the best outfits with a mix of vintage and new! If you don't know her blog yet, make sure to have a look, she has a lovely blog (and updates daily!)
