Summer Prints

With my college admission exams coming up, I find myself most of the times at home, studying for the important moment. But how do I keep my sanity when all I see is my room and a pile of books on my desk? I have four different activities which I alternate, depending on how much spare time I allow myself a day. First of all, I watch Audrey Hepburn's movies again. There are so many details in "Sabrina" or "Funny Face" which I haven't noticed before, I'm thinking about making a post about Audrey's exquisite work. Secondly, I watch my favourite TV shows from time to time- the "Game of Thrones" finale was certainly an epic one, I loved it! Then, I have my usual get-together with my friends (pictured above on the right) where we complain about our studying and the fact we won't get to see each other on a daily basis next year and we indulge in some fancy desserts.

Last but not least, I do a lot of "virtual window shopping" especially because there are a lot of summer sales going on right now. That's why summer is my favourite season: best sales, fresh fruits , great weather to go out with your friends and the endless possibilities you have when it comes to your outfits. For example,  I have discovered some amazing printed dresses at Gliks like the floral number you can see in the set above. It's so fresh and flowy, and I've also come across to these Gliks coupons online! I will definitely keep an eye on this brand in the near future, I really love their creative cuts and patterns.

You may remember another brand I love from my old posts, Sanuk. I featured their "Dotty" espadrilles a couple of times here, but this summer they have taken the "print trend" to a whole different level. Just see for yourself in the set I made bellow, I need all those pairs! For all the sales lovers (just like me) who would love to own a pair of their new collection you can use these Sanuk coupons and see my favourite models for yourself:

Let it snow!

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”  -Audrey Hepburn

It is no secret that, ever since December I have written in most of the posts how I dream of a white winter and how I miss snow. Well, I decided to take the matter in my own hands, as I have noticed that I can still wear a trench coat in my hometown and there aren't any signs of snow whatsoever. And by that I mean the fact that I went on a ski trip with my mates.

Needless to say, we had tons of fun, we eat everyday at my favorite bakery/bistro/pastry (yes, it pretty much does everything!) in the resort, we barely slept (that explains my face in the photo I guess. That's how I look after 3 hours of sleep). At the end of the 'mini vacation' we even stopped for 30 minutes at a mall so I was able to purchase the goodies I had an eye. 

Another interesting fact is that I chose to forget about technology during those 4 days so I only took my lovely phone with me. Well, I didn't expect that much of a rupture, I mean there barely was any signal in the cottage we stayed!!

Now you can understand my delay I hope, I mean it took me a while to catch up with all the sleepless hours.

Advantages: snow, sales shopping success, bonding with my phone, karaoke

Disadvantages: I'm starting a new term tomorrow, after 3 weeks of vacation!

And some of the stuff I bought:

Stradivarius top, Bershka purse

Sorry for all the rambling! Kisses and love, Mary

Current obsession

Wholesale oversized clutch

I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of time studying the products in the online shops. I call it "virtual window shopping" and, although in some situations it might break your heart because you can't afford those Miu Miu wedges or that D&G dress, there are also brands with an acceptable price and good quality.

That's how I came across to Wholesale ! I've seen a lot of discussions on the Lookbook forum and I tought I should check it out. It's a little piece of heaven for my eyes, there are so many items up for sale that you can get lost! I spent at least 30 minutes picking up my favorites because there are just too many amazing things. Not to mention the price, totally affordable!

As I said before, I managed to make my "Wish list" after a brief search and I beleive that it will get bigger and bigger...

Breathtaking colorblocking shoes 

Striped bag -Ahhh! Love the brown accents!

Gaga style glasses haha!

Have you found a nice place to shop online? Do you enjoy "virtual window shopping " as much as I do?

Where them SALES at?

I took this photos last week, when I was trying on some clothes bought from sales. One of them is my lovely maxi dress, from Asos. I got it in April I beleive, with an amazing price and mostly because I had a premonition that I was going to wear long skirts and dresses all the summer. I love the color, plus there are a lot of possibilities to match it!

The thing about sales is that you get quite carried away, because everything seems so awesome at a lower price. For example, I told myself that I was only going to  spend a part of my savings this month. It all started with a bunch of nail polishes from Sephora and some flats from Bata. The next thing I knew, I was coming back at Sephora to also get myself an eyeliner, or I was spending entire HOURS in the Zara fitting rooms.


Yet, I consider that this time it wasn't as bad as it used to be, I only bought  what I STRICTLY considerred that I need/deserve and I'm quite happy with the results. Who knows, maybe I'll take some pictures with all my new things! :)
