Finally it's that time of the year again - I love when cherry trees are in full bloom and I can enjoy being in the sun without actually burning my face! Spring is definitely my favourite season, partly because I feel like wearing pastels again and partly because my birthday's in it - I turned eighteen on Saturday 24th and the flowers in the photo above were gifted to me. Aren't they just gorgeous? How can anyone not love flowers?

Vintage Lollipop x Magazzini del Sale

"The conception of this five t-shirt capsule collection was produced from the collaboration between Magazzini del Sale and Bella Harris, an American writer and author of the blog Vintage Lollipops. Integrating the elements of personal style and artistic vision, Bella's designs include illustrations exclusively selected for Magazzini del Sale. Bella is an author of Children's/YA Literature, freelance writer, artist/fashion illustrator, style blogger, and true lover of fashion, who is changing the world one pair of shoes at a time."





As soon as I saw Bella's blog, I knew she wasn't an ordinary fashion blogger. She paints, she draws, she takes photos, she designs t-shirts for the Italian label Magazzini del Sale. Her capsule collection has been featured on tons of cool websites (and now it's on mine too, ha!). The simple white cotton t-shirts look perfect on basically everything: on a pair of jeans or a bodycon skirt, under a jacket, even under a tuxedo. Moreover, the fact that they're made in Italy means one thing: good quality. It's 100% cotton, nothing like H&M t-shirts! One thing I love about mine is that it doesn't cling to my body too much, so it's nice and comfy :) I bet I'll be wearing this awesome tee a lot this summer!

You can learn more about Bella and her t-shirts on her blog, etsy shop and art print shop.

I heart mail ++ my987wardrobe.com

My week in Dublin was probably the worst of my life, for reasons I don't even want to talk about. The only good thing there was shopping, really (but I think I'm going to talk about that in another post). I never thought I could miss my home so much and I was so happy to come back. I was even happier when I found lots of parcels waiting for me - I'm convinced that getting mail is like the grown-up version of Santa, because you get exactly the same feeling!
Beside two packets from Romwe (tights and jewelry I won in a giveaway.. lucky me) and some rhinestones (?!) I also got something from lovely Laura at My987wardrobe.com.. look at the photos and guess what it is :)





Launched in 2010, My987wardrobe.com is an online shopping website for women where each and every item costs just £9.87 or £19.87. That's right: everything on the website (and that means jeans, dresses, jackets, bags, jewelry, hair accessories) costs less than £10 or £20! Such a cool idea. Also, the website is run buy a former Topshop buyer - this means you can't possibly find any rubbish there.



I was sent the Butterfly Back dress and the Vintage Style Lace dress to try. The first one has a beautiful cut-out back I fell in love with. When I chose this dress I wasn't too sure about it, but I turned out to like it very much! It's a bit too tight on my hips but nevermind, there's thousands of ways you can wear this dress.. as a t-shirt for example. It looks like a plain black dress from the front, but the detailing on the back makes it quite elegant and perfect for going out at night. Also, it's 100% cotton, so it's soft and comfy!
As you can see from the photos, the second one is really my style. Although I'm not a huge fan of full-lace dresses, I like this one - maybe because it reminds me of a vintage nightgown! The embroidered detail on the front is what makes this dress an actual one and not just lingerie in my opinion ;) I'll definitely be using this dress lot in the summer!

I really can't tell which one I like the most, because they're both gorgeous in different ways. I love how they both are so versatile: you can wear them at night and day just styling them differently. Overall, My987wardrobe.com made a very good impression on me. Although it's been called "the Primark of the internet", you can get quite good stuff there! I think the concept of selling everything at such a low price is interesting - the prices at H&M or Zara can be much higher sometimes. I'm curious to see how this website will develop!



PS: I changed the layout a bit. Do you like it? :)

A Nica Christmas

Remember a few months ago, when I got my Nica satchel for my birthday? Now I've just received the Frankie Frame Grab I asked my parents for Christmas! Of course I ordered it one day and paid it €75, and the day after it was discounted at €35. *sigh* The discount is still on anyway, so hurry and treat yourself!



I love Nica bags. I discovered them earlier this year in the Oxford Circus Topshop in London and loved them at first sight. When I was thinking about what to ask for Christmas I immediately thought of a Nica bag! I really needed a bag for winter and I think this one is perfect. Black and gold basically go with everything I wear, and it's quite capacious as well.



I also got a lovely necklace for free! How can you not love Nica?

"uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"

After making flowercrowns over flowercrowns this summer, I started making crowns out of silver wire.





I honestly think it's one of the nicest things I've ever done. I'm quite satisfied with it :)



The right part reminds me of spiderwebs. Which is not really a good thing, as I'm the most arachnophobic person in the world.

Happy birthday, Delicate Youth!

Delicate Youth is turning one! ..



.. and is there a better way to celebrate than buying a new bag? ;)



There's actually a present coming up for you readers too. Stay tuned!

last breath of summer

Kings of Carnaby

About a month ago I was lucky enough to win a giveaway over at Here Comes The Sun, and finally a few days ago I found a nice parcel in my PO box - it was my dress from Kings of Carnaby and I couldn't be happier.

The Paige dress I was able to choose is made from a light, smooth cloth in a faint lilac shade. As you can see, it's very girly so it's completely my style :)

Every preppy and feminine girl would love to wear something from Kings of Carnaby, so why not head over their shop and take a look? You won't be disappointed.

I take this chance to thank Amanda and KoC once again, I feel so lucky! :)

VOTE FOR ME!

I decided to get in the italian brand Pepy & Menta contest - they're looking for a new face and so I thought, why not?

Nica Handbags

Last week I turned 17; I chose to celebrate buying the lovely handbag you see in the pictures from Nica.uk. I had already spotted Nica creations in Topshop while I was in London, and I regret not buying something there. Although it's made of fake leather, it's not made from a cheap material at all. It's refined in all its details, and it's quite handy too. I'm gonna use it till the end of times, it's just perfect!
