It's About Time

It's the middle of the week, the sun is shining, summer isn't going anywhere (please don't) and I wish my days were a bit less busy. But that's just how it is when fashion weeks are just a couple of days away and there is about a thousand of things that need to be done and finalised before. So, it's about time I start (and stop) doing several things: a) pretending that I'm still on holiday - stop! b) thinking about the new season and with it a return to the normal daily routine - start! c) moisturising, haha - continue, continue, continue! 

So, as you can pretty much sense, I am enjoying these days as much as possible because London is just amazing! 

As I was running in and out all day today, nothing was more comfortable than baggy, casual clothes made from very light fabrics that kept me cool during the heat. Adding a couple of fun details, like a neon bracelet and a watch, as well as (very unusually for me) an animal print bag set a cheerful mood to the whole outfit. 

Hope everyone is having a great day x

Harbour Heels

Back to London and back to blogging - it's been a while for both! I have spent a lovely two weeks visiting my family and the return to the reality is always bittersweet. Gladly, there is this beautiful harbour not far from where I live so I can pretend that I'm still on holiday! Taking every opportunity to enjoy these last days of Summer!

I wanted to change my usual comfy sandals and boyfriend jeans to something more girly today. I've had this nude COS dress for a couple of seasons now and it works well in both summer and winter (just add black tights). I especially love how perfectly it matches tanned skin (which I can be proud of only for a very short time throughout the year). And my Louboutins were, funnily enough, very in sync with the whole harbour theme.

Summer Blues

I love summer in London! We don't get too many perfect weather days throughout the year, but this summer has been spoiling us for a few weeks in the row already. So, I use every opportunity to wear as many dresses and skirts as possible while having a proper good rest from all types of jeans and trousers. This dress is always my go-to option when I want something very comfortable and low-key while still fun and colourful. This time it worked very well for the stroll through London's Chinatown on the way to dinner after a busy day.

Beach Holiday Packing

It's the peak of the holiday season! Well, you know the time, when offices are empty and everyone you know is laying on the beach somewhere around the world? I definitely know the feeling and that is why I am doing it too! Guilty as charged - it's my turn to enjoy the beach and the sunshine! Ever since booking the trip my brain has slowly started to boil overwhelmed by the thought of the packing ahead of me. Well, turns out it 's not difficult at all. My advise to everyone who is planning their getaway at the moment is to close your eyes and imagine your ideal beach self. What are you wearing? How are you feeling? And trust me, the right image will pop straight in front of your eyes. Mine can be described by one word - 'floaty.' Floaty, light, colourful fabrics of dresses and cover ups. Very low-key and cute. And as fun as possible! It's the time to relax and radiate happiness! And I can't wait to start!
