Sweet about me

♪Sweet about me- Gabriella Cilmi♪

I had some rough days and I needed a break. Things like this happen and although work and/or learning is very important, you have to know when it's enough and be able to take a break. 

That's the tricky part- how to make time for yourself? I don't know, it all depends on several factors but what I do know is that you shouldn't give up on your need and find a way to make it happen. Although some may consider this rather unuseful I have to emphasize on the fact that it does make a difference! Leisure time is something you shouldn't ignore, because it's something you need for your own health.

Please note that I'm talking about those kind of days when you are just super busy and you barely sleep , not about the ones when you 've got plenty of time and you just spend it daydreaming.

I am going through that kind of phase, when everything is just so crowded and important that I can't fit 'time for myself' in the schedule anymore. The day I showcased in the photos above was by chance, completely unexpected. All my plans got cancelled and I rushed to my best friends house and had a blast, with snow fights, good books, a movie, delicious food and a lot of tea...

Now I feel like that day happened months ago. That's right, trapped in the routine again, but this is my promise that somehow I'll find a way to take a break again, as soon as possible.

Books and bags

First of all, I want to thank you with all my heart for the lovely comments I have received on the Anniversary post. I have read every single one, I noticed some new faces( yes, I have a pretty good visual memory) and I'm also happy to see that some readers have gained courage to share their opinions lately!

As for this post, I'm going to write about two things I adore: books and bags. As Jane Brody pointed out,

“Real luxury is time and opportunity to read for pleasure”

You always should spoil yourself with a good read, whether it's a interesting book where you learn about some life experiences like 'Frumoasele straine' is or a couple of Vogues which instantly cheer you up. With all this technology and daily problems we tend to neglect reading sometimes, and it is sad because books bring the wellness of our souls.

I also wanted to show you my most loved bag at the moment!! It's nude and it's from Zara. It was so expensive at the beginning but as soon as the sales started my aunt surpised me and bought this for me! I love it because it has the perfect details and color and the quality is just exceptional.

A Romanian book by a Romanian author. Very relaxing and fun to read!

Pretty florals and mixmatched morals

I don't know about you, but I had enough of this winter. I'm looking forward to walking around the town without  a coat and two sweaters or a denim shirt and a knit, as shown above.

So, what I've been doing these days, without school? I have been dreaming..I dream of a sunny day of spring, with cherry blossom flowers everywhere.

As for what I will be wearing..I have something in mind. It will be a lot of pastels involved because they are 'in' this season and...crazy colorful prints!!!

Why so? Well, I simply adore the colorblock trend and I feel I should keep it for this spring also, combined with some funky patterns. This is my moodboard at the moment, I would love to wear any of these prints. Now, I'll write something particularly about  florals, considering the fact I found something very interesting:

You know from my past post how I love Joe Browns for their creativity and how they play around different shapes and textures. Well, I checked their site recently and I noticed there are a lot of floral tunics!! I love tunics, I also love the fact that they are made from cotton because I have a sensitive skin..and I simply adore the prints they have designed for the colection!

I have chosen my very favorites, some are even on sale. They are fun to match and easy to wear! I can picture myself already, with a salmon Proenza Schouler bag and a golden Michael Kors watch in a fancy tunic/dress. Wait, pause that. The only thing I can afford would be the tops, plenty of them haha:
