Just a few ideas..

So I was thinking how I haven't posted one of my polyvore sets in a long time now, and since I made this new one that I'm really proud of, I thought that maybe I should start posting them again.

I really hope you liked my latest post and outfit, I've put much heart and soul into this blog so I really hope the whole thing pulls off. The truth is I want this to be a mixture of outfits, stylistic advice, news etc., so I'm sort of re-inventing this. There are like, SO many things going through my mind right now and pretty much ALL the time and I'm kinda stressed up 'cause I really, really, REALLY need this to work. I need more followers to join, and more comments and views and everything and I wish and pray and work my ass off everyday to make this happen.

So please, if you're reading this, take the time to write a comment, or just hit 'like' or whatever. You have no idea how much it means to me everytime you do.

You can't fly away, electric bird.

So, the reason why I love this set so much is that it's simple and complicated at the same time. It contains like so many different textures and shapes and it ends up looking so neat, I love it. I don't mean to brag, but- oh well.  I think it's because of the pants. These gorgeous Gucci pants that I never thought I would like that much. I was never a big fan of wide-leg pants or pajama pants or palazzo pants or whatever they call them anyway. I always wear skinny jeans or something more cuffed towards the ankle. But these are cropped and they look like a midi-length skirt (kinda) which is HUGE this season (thanks to Hannah McGibbon for that) but still it's pretty clear that they're pants. And the color is epic.

The top (by Erdem, LOVE Erdem) is so ruffled and cute, I kind of balances out the straight clean line of the pants with a little bit of volume.

And last but not least, these pumps, by Zara, yes, the ones that you've seen everywhere and on every fashion blogger with respectable fashion sense. These cutout pumps are the perfect missing piece to this fashion puzzle, and I guess these pumps do actually go with everything, so I guess they're the perfect match to any outfit.

The bag is just a metallic touch that takes it up a notch.

Hope you like it!

Enough with my rumbling already!

Deep Purple

I know it took me forever to make a new post but here I am! My best friend Katie finally got herself a brand new gorgeous camera and we took some amazing pictures!

Okay, so this outfit was really one that love. I bought the skirt and the top just a few days ago and I got to wear them at Katie's birthday soiree. I love how they go together, plus the skirt is def one of my favorite pieces. I love the line and the shape, because it's not too tight or too loose, it is just the right fit and it makes me look taller. Plus, the color is so gorgeous I could wear it forever.

Now the top has an animal print but kinda subtle thanks to the color palette which doesn't make it look too jungle-like. I am not a big fan o leopard print in clothing, I think it looks kinda cheap and I don't do cheap :P (not in the meaning of inexpensive, in the meaning of ugly-looking: a thousand dollar dress can still look cheap)
Anyway, so this top goes with pretty much EVERYTHING and I love versatile items.

I forgot to say the whole look is from ZARA (my sweet home <3) except for the bag which is by Coach and the two-finger bow ring which is by Accessorize.
