Birthday Shopping

Because I'm away from home and I couldn't spend my birthday with my friends and family I decided to go shopping a month ago. Enough to make me happy. 

That and some cake. 

Needless to say that I was exhausted at the end of the day.

Here are some pictures of my purchases and gifts.

One of my favourite fragrances, classy and fabulous. 

I'm quite obsessed with baroque jewelry. I found this lovely earrings at Dorothy Perkins and H&M at a really good price. 

(a post dedicated to baroque will be soon on my blog) 

This peplum top is also from Dorothy Perkins (Luxe collection)

Another peplum item bought from Topshop. It somehow reminds me of GUCCI spring summer 2013 collection. 

I found this perfect loafers for uni days at Topshop.

       What's in this box? 

Let's find out!

TADAAA!

I love this coat from ZARA.

 It's cosy and keeps me warm and its texture is soft and the jacquard print on white wool makes it look so classy. 

Ending the post with some sweets as I started : here are some delicious champagne truffles, probably the best ones I've ever tasted.

The End.

Easter Treat

   This is how I spent Easter this year: surrounded by industrial quantities of chocolate and delicious fruits. I put aside any remorse of gaining weight and looking as voluptuous as a naked lady in one of Rubens' paintings. I pampered myself eating every single thing my heart desired. And YES, I am very aware of the  fact that it's not healthy to eat so many sweets at once. But how could I say NO to all appealing offers from good smelling chocolate shops?

Welcome to my Candyland!

I got obsessed with delicious cakes from Patisserie Valerie

Besides, the logo of their company reminds me of the old beautiful posters painted by Toulouse-Lautrec for Moulin Rouge. It perfectly describes the spectaculous taste of their cakes. 

Voted the best chocolate shop in town, Chocolat Chocolat products always make me think of the cookies my grandmother used to bake for me when I was a child. Perhaps, this is because most of their sweets are homemade.

Once again, Hotel Chocolat proved that it is a luxury chocolate brand and their products are pure quality. 

I highly recommend you these truffles. They are the most delicious ones I have ever tasted. 

Some good French baking books

Some fresh fruits are very welcomed after so much sugar. 

Candy maniac doing some monkey business.

A last glance before "cleaning" the table.
