Tartan, knit and a vintage coat!

It’s cold outside so I took my pics in my mother’s house again. I’d love to have a big empty wall for taking some nice indoor photos but my apartment is small and filled with furniture so there is not one single spot that would not require major cropping!
I’m wearing a warm knit sweater and a mini plaid skirt with my new Tally Weijl over-the-knee socks and a vintage coat that I snatched out of my mum’s closet. She used to wear that even before having me (so imagine how old it is, lol) and it’s a lovely piece. It had a front zipper but it wasn’t very practical so I had it replaced with buttons. Also, the fur was all around the bottom part of the coat, but our previous pet chewed it so I took the parts that were in a good condition and placed them at the cuffs. It’s like new again isn’t it?!






Knit: Zara
Skirt: Zara
Boots: Rose noir (italian brand)
Coat: vintage
Socks: Tally Weijl
Tights: Calzedonia
Bag: Aslanis (Greek designer)

Face: Avon Ideal Shade Cream-to-Powder Foundation, Nivea perfect cover concealer
Eyes: nothing really...
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Kryolan lipshine circle

No question tonight. I’m too tired to think of one!

Day 81 - New parka - Gap fall lookbook inspired outfit!

I got a new Parka and I absolutely adore it. I’ve never owned a parka before and I’ve always wanted one. It’s a utility piece and goes with practically everything. I had a lot of outfit ideas already in my mind way before buying one, but when I saw this look in the Gap fall 2010 lookbook, I thought it was the perfect way to wear it for the first time:

Here’s my interpretation of the look:





Denim shirt: D&G
Leggings: Tally Weijl
Parka: Boohoo
Bag: Aslanis (Greek designer)
Belt: old (my brother’s)
Shoes: Unkwown brand

About the (new) shoes, I don’t know if I would recommend this site (it's an Asian online shop). I got two pairs of shoes and one of them turned out to be a bit small (even though they’re both the same size) and the quality is very low. You see some lovely pics in the site and they have a large variety of shoes and clothes, but what you see is not what you get in terms of quality! So bear that in mind...

Oh, and as you can see I’m not wearing any make up. So, in case you were wondering, this is how I am when I wake up in the morning (minus the sunglasses, lol!)!!!
