new is always better

 Today was the last day of my current work. I look forward to the new job I'll start in June, but at the same time feel kind of sad. Even the weather doesn't help me - it's raining all day. 
I'll have a week off now and starting next Monday I begin my new job. According to my one and only rule - new is always better! I'm so excited! 

Today's photos are the continuation of London series. Enjoy.

Autumn camouflage

 Babcia zawsze powtarzała, że najwięcej ciepła człowiek traci przez głowę. Zweryfikować twierdzenie nie będzie mi dane, bo nigdy przenigdy nie zrezygnuję z czapek, beretów, toczków i kapeluszy - uwielbiam je wszystkie! I nie dbam o to, czy mi pasują czy nie - wystarczy, że dobrze się w nich czuję. 

Tak samo nie dbam o to, że wedle analizy kolorystycznej powinnam unikać brązów i beży, bo to kolory pani-jesieni. Ponoć. A ja jestem panią-zimą. Ponoć. Ile sobie robię z tych rad? Widać na załączonych obrazkach. Z jakim skutkiem? Widać na załączonych obrazkach ;) 

Poza wszelkiej maści nakryciami głowy nieodłącznym elementem jesieni są dla mnie również skórzane płaszcze. Vintage, z duszą. Mam takie dwa - czarny i rudobrązowy - po mamie. Pamiętam, jak jeszcze jako dzieciak, wykłócałam się z mamą, żeby ich nie wyrzucała. Z ust mamy padało w ich kierunku wiele niepochlebnych epitetów. Twierdziła, że to stare, zniszczone (zniszczone??) szmaty, które tylko zagracają szafę, a ich czas dawno już minął. Jak bardzo się myliła okazało się, gdy wkroczyłam w wiek licealny - wtedy w ruch poszła czarna wersja przegrywająca dziś z rudobrązową. Trzeba przyznać, że obie są już nadgryzione zębem czasu i jest to widoczne, ale moim zdaniem dodaje im to charakteru. I jestem pewna, że zrezygnuję z nich dopiero, gdy ze starości rozpadną się na kawałki. Moi rówieśnicy :)

only donuts matter today!

 Fat Thursday is a traditional Polish feast that begins on the last week of Carnival. These day is dedicated to eating large quantities of sweets forbidden during Lent, especially donuts. That's why I call that day as The Donut's Day :)
In the past Fat Thursday was a day when people celebrated the end of winter and the beginning of spring. That day people used to eat and drink a lot, mainly meat dishes and wine. During Fat Thursday people also used to eat donuts, but not this type we know - their donuts were filled with lard! Sound disgusting, doesn't it? Sweet donuts filled with rose or marmalade have been eaten starting from XVI c. 
I ate 4 donuts so far - but that's just the beginning. I have whole long day to break the record.

Neons for autumn

 I’ve chosen a difficult time to launch my blog. Late autumn is not the best time for taking photos. It’s dark both before and after work. And as if it wasn’t enough it’s cold the whole day. Yep, it’s not good time for blogging. But on the other hand if I’ll persist the winter time it will be only better and easier. 
Meanwhile, in order to deal with the grey and gloomy weather, I put on colors. Usually I combine only one colored item, (max two) with neutral rest. But this time I wear total colored outfit – cobalt mixed with rich green. First I thought these colors don’t match together but after a while it looked ok to me. 
When it comes to outfit’s items I need to say briefly about the coat. Although I didn’t need a new coat (I even didn’t have a space in my wardrobe for it) I bought this one in H&M. For 25 euros (50 euros off) it was a steal.

Umbrella

 I love red colour. No matter what is in – pastels, burgundy, caramel – I prefer red. Whenever I go shopping my attention is attracted to things in this colour.

Photos below were taken in Paris – in the park near the hotel we were staying. On the last two you can see umbrella that I’ve bought in Paris. I decided to buy this practical souvenir after I got wet during sightseeing in Versailles. It was bought in Pylones store. I don’t know if this brand is popular all over the world (I didn’t know it before) but in Paris it really is. If you have time visit their website: (kilk). They offer great, colourfull and funny stuff. The umbrellas were in different colours but (of course) I chose the red one. 

In Poland it’s a rainy day today, so this post is good for the moment.

royal blue

 Is it true that tights in colors different than nude or black are childish? Or is it true that monochromatic outfits are strange? I don't care. For me, as far as fashion is concerned only one statement is true: catch as catch can. So you shouldn't be surprised by my todays outfit - with dress and tights in cobalt. I was wearing them during visiting Regent's Park in London. Royal blue for royal gardens - perfect matching. BTW, Regent's Park is beautiful - if you could visit only one in this city I strongly recommend this one.

pastel me with Big Ben

 Finally I got photos I took in London over and done with. This way the upcoming photos will have not Warsaw but London in the background. Today first shoot with Big Ben - I was wearing mint pants, colorful sweater and new heels that I bought for me as a reward. For what? I will tell you next time :)

to be like Dita von Teese

 In today's post I'd like to show you my second gift from Vedette, i.e. waist cincher. To be honest it's an underwear but it's so nice and elegant that you can wear it as an accessory. In my opinion it looks especially good combined with elegant shirt.
Below you can find two propositions how to wear waist cincher, but not as an underwear - rather as a clothing element, one for a day, the other for a night. Each time you'll have an hourglass figure like Dita von Teese.

The "oh-so-chic" dress

  Isn't this dress adorable? I loved it the instant I saw it on TinaR website, mainly because of that shade of green and the shape of the skirt - so young and fun! And the fact that it is made out of two different fabrics which work together so amazing and the skirt is made out of faux leather? That is something that stuck into my mind. 

 I received this dress yesterday and I couldn't wait to take some photos in it and also with my new pair of killer heels which make me feel like a queen (oh yea...I have a huge grin on my face now)

 Hope you like it!

Feminine

  It seems I am into this salmon pink lately, it is such a sweet an refined color unlike that Barbie pink..ugh. 

I took this coat today after a long time, I don't usually wear it because it's sooo heavy! The fabric is really good, but man, it feels I am carrying a backpack.

 I am leaving tomorrow to resume my studies and until Easter I don't think I will be going anywhere..unless I get super annoyed and jump in a train and just go ..wherever. I have this urge lately. 

See my nails? I tried to master the marble art technique, but I guess it takes time. It get's messy and you need patience, but the result is super awesome!

One of those dream dresses..

Just two days ago I received this dress from the lovely people over at Ms Dressy, not long after they sent me this one. Of course I was psyched when I found out that I am able to choose a second one. This time I opted for a more versatile dress, with a silhouette that reminds us of the '50s fashion and of course...in burgundy!

  What I love most about this particular dress is the bow details around the neck, it makes it so interesting and feminine, just perfect for my taste!

It was such a pleasure taking these photos even though I might have caught another cold, I simply love posing in pretty fabulous dresses that make me feel glamorous and lovable. I can't wait for another occasion to wear it again to be honest.

Batman or Dracula?..

 ..Either way, they both wore a cape and they both look mysterious. I have this fascination with capes, they cover the body in such a feminine way and they look as if they cover a secret..especially black ones. ESPECIALLY black VELVET ones. Okay I am bragging, but I am just too excited about this beauty I found in a small thrift store in my hometown.. during the Summer. 

Now my question is: Why on Earth would someone give that splendid thing away?

Two pants outfit

Joie de Vivre

 I felt so girlie wearing this outfit, but with a touch of romance, naturally, how else would I indulge myself than dressing up in lace, velvet and flower prints and feel fabulous?

Dream on..

Dior, Marni and the '50s Housewife

 When I got my hands on this Marni + H&M jacket, I immediately got transported back into the 1950s fashion - which of course was created by the genius mind of Christian Dior, and I put together this look. I received the skirt a few days ago from MiniPrix, and it has the perfect shape and length, it's faux leather and you know I really wanted for a long time a leather skirt, so imagine my joy. Therefor, that jacket is a perfect addition for a complete '50s inspired look.
