Talulah

So I'm finally off on holiday. After one of the toughest summers in my life I have finally worked up for a week off from everything in Paradise.

Following a tradition I have noticed most bloggers have, while sitting in the lounge waiting for my flight I am making a post with my travel look today. Of course, it is influenced by the tropical destination I have chosen. And as for the heels - well, I always wear them, and flights are not an exception. Just gotta find some comfy ones, and so I did - the thick heel on these Zara babies makes them my running shoes:-)

I will try to make a post from my holiday - meanwhile, wishing you a great week full of opportunities and LOVE!

xoxo

Black and Gold Has Never Failed Me

... and it's true. Black and Gold have been my colors of choice when it comes to dressing for special occasions for what seems like forever. Maybe I like the way the colors compliment my hair and skin tone, maybe it's the elegance of the combination, I'm not sure. But when you're dressed in black and gold, you become Audrey Hepburn in your head. Fabulous! 

Today is special for two reasons: not only is it the 13th, which means we have another anniversary with my hubby Alex, but it's also my father's birthday. My birthday is this Sunday and that's why Virgo's are the best people if you ask me:)))) All in all, today is happy day and it's all about celebrating!

Now as for this skirt, it's a real wonder. And that happens with every Sabo Skirt piece that I own. Too bad Russian Post works like they still live in the 15th century and ordering from Sabo Skirt to Russia is a nightmare. But those things that DID reach my hands... mmm.  I never let go of them.

Last but not least... THIS BELT. I can talk about this belt for ages. It was the main reason why I opened the Shu Means Love store. I NEEDED to share it with the ladies. It instantly turns any outfit into a bomb. I've seen it on many fashionistas worldwide and the way it works with various looks... stunning. I've had it for quite a while now and it is great both for the summer and winter time. Aaaaah is the way I feel:-) All those who've bought it keep on writing me how in love they are with this perfect accessory. And I know exactly why!

Lilac Days

Let me just say that I am OBSESSED with this knit. It materialized right out of my dreams. Warm, soft and comfy - gives you that sensation of sitting near the fireplace with a cup of  Glühwein. But did I mention it's super-stylish, too?...

Birthday Dreamin' Ain't No Crime

It's my birthday on the 16th of September and I've decided to make a blog post featuring my wildest dreams about presents.

I have never been the material kind of girl - life has put me in very different situations already even though I am just 23, and if it there's anything it has taught me by now it's to value what's really important. And I'm grateful to all the lessons I've learned, even though at times I felt quite sad. 

However, let's move on to the funny part! These are the things it'd  be cool to wake up to next Sunday. A little dreaming has never hurt nobody:-)





































Dream BIG, darling readers! And have a great weekend! :-)
