La Dolce Vita

Good evening, pretty birds! As I said in the previous post, I have so many photos from last summer that I want to share with you. So, here we go... 

 The idea behind this outfit was inspired by the well-known Dolce&Gabbana campaign which portrays the opulent women from Sicily in Baroque era. It also happens to be my favourite artistic style in painting, sculpture and architecture. I like  how Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana managed to link this fascinating period of time to XXI century through their timeless garments. What I've notice in their campaign it's the fact that it's not only about meticulously designed and fine-cut clothing or opulence, but also about la joie de vivre and finding beauty in everything. 

I love how nowadays' fashion has a VOICE and the way it sends positive messages and empowers contemporary women around the world. Moreover, I strongly believe that fashion has its own language. For instance, back in the old days, people were dressing up according to their rank. It represented their social signature and a manner of revealing their identity without the need to speak.

Having said that, this outfit is my own interpretation of the modern Baroque woman. In my opinion, you don't need to wear head-to-toe designer brands in order to get a nice outfit, just choose the essentials and enhance your outfit with the right accessories. In this case, I started with the basics: a black pencil skirt and a white tulle blouse. I added some gold reminiscent accessories that go well with the white embroidery of the blouse and a pair of mustard heels which brightens up the whole outfit.  

 I hope you like it and I'm looking forward to hear your feedback.

CHANGES

Knock, knock! Is anyone still there? ... I am happy to let you know that I finally found some well-need time to start blogging properly. I mean it! And this time it won't be just for friends and family.

 2014 was one hell of an year and I can fairly say that this was the year of major changes. In the first six months and my very last semester of university, my craziness reached its highest peak. Seriously, I was going M.A.D.!!! For those who're wondering why, I'll name a few of the reasons: essays, exams, my major project, rehearsals, performances, presentations, voluntary work, dissertation and countless sleepless nights... need I say more? Graduates will understand. But, the most important thing is that I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams: I graduated! I made it away from home, in a wonderful foreign country that I can proudly call it my second home.  

The other half was full of big challenges, disappointments and changes. Highs and lows, joy and tears, this big bunch of diverse experiences taught and guided me to the path that I am following today. It all may sound cheesy, but this is the transition period that all graduates encounter sooner or later. We're all locked up in a little bubble during our education years and when it bursts we're thrown away into the real world. It's like an unexpected cold shower: shocking, challenging, yet so refreshing and good! 

I finally have time for myself to think clear and focus on my priorities!  

And yes, blogging is one of them, this time I'll take it to a whole new level. I have hundreds of pictures to show you that I never got the chance to post and so much more. 
No more: daydreaming and failed attempts to blog.

For now, I'll post some photos from my Instagram diary including lovely places, 

 flowers, sweets, shoes and other girly things

and, of course, the unavoidable selfies...

P.S. I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR filled with health, wealth and joy! 

And always be kind!

Back to Basics

BOILING HOT DAYS. When you're melting, screaming for some fruity  and fresh ice cream is understandable. Well, I'm not complaining, not at all! I was craving for these kind of days when I can just slip in a sundress and I'm ready to go. It seemed that this simple and comfy cami black dress, yet chic for an afternoon-to-evening outfit was a good choice for hanging around and going for ice cream. I added some gold accessories here and there to add that discrete glam touch and Voilà!

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
