New Beginning

I had to do this once in 2005 for the health reasons and now The goal is the same: healthier diet and 5-7 kg off.

My new rules are:

- drink a lot of water

- walk whenever possible (no more car trips to work)

- no sweets

- no processed food

-train twice a week (cardio, no muscle building)

Easy, right? But not that easy. I always forget to drink and I don't move enough. Today I weigh 61 kg. here we go.

Homies T

I went along with a trend and bought two Reason'a t-shirts: Homies and Ain't Laurent without Yves. Perfect for a weekend wardrobe, wearing one of them today in the countryside of Kirkkonummi. 

Another Jersey Nanso

When I found that perfect Nanso dress I decided to look for another one in neutral tones an I found one! Wearing it today to the office and enjoying how easy to wear and comfy it is! My belt is Massimo Dutti and sandals Michael Kors. 

Nude & Gold

LSuccessfully survived after the Berlin trip for the first day in the office I decided to go for all my sales finds: French Connection skirt, nude silk blouse by Massimo Dutti and & other stories golden heeled sandals which also proved to be very comfortable. 

I also received my net-a-porter purchases today, more on them tomorrow. The ribbon that came with the shoe box was so pretty that I decided to wrap the flower vase with it.

Yes, and I decided to cut my hair to a bob again. 

How does it look?

Nanso Jersey Dress

Still chasing the perfect DVF wrap dress I came across this wonderful jersey one by  Nanso. This is my second Nanso dress and I can really swear by the quality. I will wear mine with gold tone accessories (Cos necklace pictures below) an golden sandals or nude pumps to office. I am very happy with my sale find (at 40% off). 

New Coral Accessories in Action

Today I am wearing new DVF clutch and Bloch ballerinas with a basic collar shirt and jeans ensemble. Short trench coat is a cover up in case of rain.

Matches Sales

Completely by chance I learnt about the Matches online store only a week ago.  There I immediately spotted The DVF clutch I had fallen in love earlier, on discount. By accident there were bright coral Bloch ballerinas also on sale. I had not planned a matchy accessory look anyhow but they do look great together combined with some basic clothes like jeans and t- shirts. 

Beautiful packaging by Matches in their marble box and bloch's pretty ballerina packaging brought that something extra to the moment opening my purchases. 

Net-a-Porter Sale

It started today and it was crazy. Web page was totally stuck. But I managed to grab my deal, perfect black patent heels. Later when the page was downloading for other items I noticed a lovely Zoe Karssen t-shirt as well but one order is already made. I am expecting my perfect go-everywhere heels to arrive.

Zara Necklace

Last weekend I made a very glamorous purchase in Zara. It's a very festive and grand necklace. I have seen similar on many fashionable ladies and this is the one that has that vintage vibe and is really well made. Keep it or not?

Wide Gold Tone Bracelet

Bracelets are a great accessory really. Without being too close to face like necklaces they still make a great statement. I have a lot of pretty thing bracelets and only one wide cuff by LV. I wanted to have a simple gold one as well   To sharpen a basic knit & jeans combo, for  example, and to take my office outfit to dinner date. I found a perfect one from Shopbop's own label Bop Bijoux on. 60% discount. 

DVF Wrap Dress

When you figure some piece of clothing simply works for you: your body shape, your lifestyle - that's a very important moment as planning your wardrobe becomes a lot easier. For some years I have known that a wrap jersey dress is my thing. I can wear it to work, for a brunch date or for a kid party. Or for a date night and take it with me on a holiday. My one and only wrap dress is by Next and it's a purple black and white print on a cotton jersey. I would like to extend my wrap dress wardrobe and the brand to go is certainly DVF. 

After missing a great deal at Mytheresa I have found some at Matches. 

Here are the prints I loved the most, now on sale.

What will be my DVF classic?

H&M Finds

H&M is a go to place if you wish to update your wardrobe - always. They have all kinds of things there and to make good finds one needs to be very careful. 

Nude top is a versatile piece for all seasons and with a sea of polyester versions spread in stores this one was a pleasant surprise in 100% viscose.

Maxi skirts are still on my fav list and here is one i would rather wear on a day off or a summer party.

And something to complete my look with golden sandals and a light blazer would be a pair of light relaxed jeans. A boyfriend style pair is on its way to me.

Summer goes on!

Beauty Wishlist

A few things I want into my cosmetic box right now!

Book Happinness & Lavender Fragrance

After a quite intensive work week it is nice to visit a flower shop on the way to home and receive a nice parcel from Amazon with new books for a weekend read. Grill food is already on its way and a glass of rosé is waiting for me...

Summer in the Office

Do not laugh but...I have got nothing to wear to the office in summer. In hot summer. My last drops of creativity were enough to create some 5 more outfits for a hot summer day in the office only to realize that I do not have enough office and after office appropriate clothes. Like what I need tomorrow for a business dinner. I managed to come up with an outfit of thin bird print Zara blouse and pleated brown skirt to match my new YSL clutch but I was in a major crisis before I figured it out. My checklist for new items is elegant jumpsuits, tops to go with pencil skirts, jersey dresses and city shorts. Zara seems to be the place worth a visit. 

Belle de Jour

Something that doesn't need extra words: long waited and searched nude YSL belle de jour clutch. Not that I would mind having it in other colors...
