Spring dreams

The great thing about the virtual world is that it makes imagining things that ARE NOT REAL sinfully easy, yup, it lets us believe we can have it all, all this stuff hidden behind thick glass door, and the virtual world is opening that thick door for us... so I - a magpie(shiny things for your nest kind-of-a-girl) - captured in online shopping captivity - killed some time to satisfy my (having nice stuff) cravings without actually spending the money!
I created a spring-happy-even-if-it-rains set. What do I love about it? Well, first, the ruffle trench, I don't have to introduce the trend, nothing new, heard it, knew it kind of a thing, ruffle trenches "media coverage" is all over the place, the evidence can be also seen in stores... So what's soooo special about this one? well, it is definitely cute, yet it remains within the "classic" look, so even if one sad day ruffles will not be as hip as they are right now (which I hope will never happen), this trench will defend itself, beautiful... and the price, it is beautiful too it is the cheapest item apart from tights(check them out upside down :) Why isn't Newlook in the USA? I demand its USA presence!!!
Second trend is in fact an obsession-classified: I love tassels, and fashion loves tassels, so in this harmonic symbiosis I plan to accessorize with tassels, this spring and summer and you dear readers, be creative, tassels can appear on belts, necklaces, bags, earnings, bracelets, attached to any kind of shirt or jacket...
Don't get me started on Burberry and rain boots... one day Anja I say, one day :)
And for a dessert, let me talk tights, colorful tights are STILL IN - so readers, get on with the hype, and I mean bold-bold colors, crazy-courageous patterns, don't delay, go ahead, wear some colors before the summer hits with its warmth, now is the time to do it, now tights are not meant to be unnoticeable, not any longer, they are coming out of the shade of necessity, now, tights are a fashion accessory, that has an ability to make the entire outfit complete...

Walk the Walk

so this is me, yes, I will walk the walk, not just talk the talk (BTW - hip idiom - so "put it on too") anyhow, I decided to post some of my very own ideas brought to life, yes, those real-life examples of how I work with what I've got, while loving what I show and follow online... I want to share my takes on what I write, my attempts to do what I preach... My daily fashion is a median of what inspires me and the limited capabilities of my closet and my wallet... isn't that a case for us all though? yeah, that's what I thought, that is what makes it so much harder doesn't it? right? because ,whoa, if one had all the money in the world, mhuhahahaha one would look like a 1000 bucks everyday, but lets get back on earth...

So here it is, my first outfit, it is my Friday outfit for when we all feel a bit more casual... it a very simple, yet feminine look, all it takes is some color-play, a belt and a ruffle here or there...AND voila! a perfect recipe for a perfect effortless, casual look yet with a little spark of ether-beauty.

I think it is a good example of what I am rumbling about above too. I love the color of the sweater, it is a very intense blue, broken down by my grey rider-pants and slightly toned-down shade of the belt, it harmonizes with the shirt through its very subtle blue tones, and then boldly contrasting with the raspberry splashes of color on the shirt, I thought it is a perfect love-hate relationship of colors, those two I think are in a very tight competition of being the most popular colors recently, that being blues (teal, navy blue etc) & violet( raspberry, hot pink, purple etc)...what do you think? love? hate? please feel free to let me know! I felt good wearing it, so the day was won for me, and now it is just history, a good memory, therefore open to deliberate on the outcome, so drop me a note if you fancy! for now, happy next outfit everyone and me!
