A Touch of Pink

As you can see I have a new haircut. It's not a big difference, I just wanted to get rid of the split ends and make it look healthier. 

When I've first seen this white shirt in a local store it reminded me of the preppie look and that next month I will go back to uni. Thus and so, I matched it with a black pleat skirt. But because it started to look a little sober for summer I added a pair of pale pink sandals.

Unexpected Weather

I am glad to feel the windy and rainy weather again, especially after several boiling hot days. I'm one of those people who really enjoy rainy days while staying home, drinking hot chocolate and reading a good book. I spent the last couple of weeks in my hometown. I can't complain. Feels good to be back home for a short while, but I do miss England and can't wait to go back. 

For the yesterday outfit I chose a blue dress that I accessorized  with a vintage clutch and Guess sandals. I finished it adding a gorgeous pair of earrings stolen from my mom. I just hope the weather won't change for at least one month because now it's perfect: around 25°C.

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.

Little Red Coat

When I found this red coat inspired by the iconic British royal guards' uniform I knew it would warm and colour my winter. Its shape gives the outfit a ladylike allure. Or it makes me look like a ladybug, but this is another story. For me, it's like the equivalent of a little black dress:  there's no need for remarkable accessories to complete it. Matched with a pair of black leather ankle boots and a small clutch creates a simple but still elegant look.

Coat: Miss Selfridge
