Keeping it very real. This might be the last time I wore these boots. The +18C appeared unexpectedly and for past days it's been here. That makes me so happy. I try as much as I can enjoy every sunbeam. Here's few less layers and some newbie which I have missed in my wardrobe for a long time. To be honest I think I never have had a black blazer or jacket. I for a very long time wasn't impressed by black. It was the color which least interested me. Maybe because it had so practical purpose when I was growing up. Now it's wardrobe staple. But to find nice jacket or blazer isn't easy. Usually fabric lets down or it have some kind of leather detailing. This one was very unexpected finding and classic tuxedo style which can be dressed up or down easily. In my mind this will have a lots of jeans and t-shirts pairings. It's usually how I pair my blazer and jackets.

Peace, joy and ♥

One more week have gone in the flash. And looking on this outfit I can see what a difference week can make. It's +14 C today, no more crazy, cold wind and perhaps the last time I'm wearing this big coat. It's first time this winter when I pulled it out from wardrobe and I'm glad I did, because I got so many compliments and even got stopped in shop asking where I got it. I couldn't believe that it could be such a hit, because to be honest it isn't most flattering. But if you know me by now you would know that doesn't stop me from wearing something. I sometimes love clothes way too much to think how it looks on me. How appealing to others is my look. But I very appreciate those who get me.

Peace, joy and ♥

Black & White | Sammydress

You never can go wrong with black and white pairing. Especially if it's white button up. It shouldn't be always classic white shirt, you can always play with different kind of white shirt style.  It's perfect for those days when nothing to wear and you want to look effortlessly stylish.
Oversized sunglasses are perfect to hide my tired eyes and add a touch of color. Minimal accessories- my new leather choker which actually is bracelet.

Life Is Too Short, Wear A Dress

I think one of the powerful and feminine garments is a dress. I love dresses, but sadly Ireland weather isn't the kindest for wearing them. It's not about the rain, but it's a wind what is the danger. You never know when and where it suddenly will come from. The days when I get a chance to wear a dress I feel noticed, because you wouldn't see often on street women wearing dresses. I don't blame them, I just wish there would be more available pretty, comfortable and good quality dresses. I have scored this year two new dresses, but to find a good dress is very hard. I think the lack of quality sadly have increased - style, fabric too sheer, etc. Sometimes the bigger high street brands dresses couldn't tell apart from some cheaper imported online brands. 

I think less is more, so I keep returning to those which are in my wardrobe and only replace with new ones when I part from old. This is one of those dresses which are timeless and versatile. I first time wore it here. It looks great with tight, booties and layered. What I would suggest to look for is classic style and don't worry so much about color, because if you love it you will find how to dress it up or down with accessories. 

If you know where to find a good dress I will be grateful if you drop in comment.

Sleeveless Trench Coat

One of my favorite things to have is blazer, jackets and vests. They are such a great pieces to have from spring to fall to create many wonderful and effortless looks. 

I already have collaborated with Banggood.com and when they offered the second time I gave a thought and then agreed. I always make sure the company who wants to collaborate with me knows, that I will never wear or mention their products in my blog if they wouldn't be worth. When I got out this vest from parcel all creased, yet I knew it will be worth to show. It looks like something you would get from some well know high street brand. The fabric is kind of looking like sued, but it isn't. Vest is very airy  it so beautifully moves when I walk and designed like classic trench coat just sleeveless. I love this olive green color. Only minus- it creases like nobody business.

These photos we took at the end of the long day. We was driving and walking a lot, and we got even rained on. Vest got a bit of test.

This is looking back at last month. We are very busy with work these days and weather have been very good to us. It really feels like summer, so we try to enjoy as much as we can it. Even just having evening strolls after busy day. May evening it was when we took these photos. It's all about the details. Delicate jewelry layering and pop of bright lipstick. Very simple.

Peace, joy and ♥

My first ootd post this year. Nothing extraordinary, very typical to me - stripes, jacket, jeans and boots. I would say my uniform. When it comes to my wardrobe I definitely have become more clear about things what I like and need. I haven't fall for sales once again. If I don't see what I like, I don't buy. That time when I was - shop till you drop, is in the past. I have lived that, I'm not shame of it. I think it's part of growing up. It's the way how you play with fashion and understand what is style. Only thing what I have got on sales is big, oversized jumper from HM, just before Christmas and since then I was living in it. I'm sure you soon and a lot will see in posts. 

Peace, joy and ♥

Goodbye 2015

Goodbye 2015, here I have some outfit marathon from this year.

People say every New Year is like new beginning, I would say every day is like a new beginning. You never know what's waiting us behind the corner. Some people come into our lives and some are gone. The most amazing thing that they all touch some how our lives and there was a reason why we met them. So I'm very grateful that you have become part of my life. You all have touched my heart and with all your support it makes even more fun to do what I'm doing. You bring light to my heart.
