Camel coat!

I’ve talked about wardrobe essentials in a previous post and of course the ones that were mentioned there are not the only classic and timeless pieces a woman should own. Another one is the camel coat, a very elegant piece that can be worn in numerous occasions and with different outfits. You can wear it over your business suit, over jeans and knits (like here) or even over a dress or pencil skirt to go out at night and it will always blend in. I bought this one several years ago and it still looks stylish, while doing a very good job at keeping me warm!





Coat, shoes and bag: Zara
Knit sweater: Shetland
Jeans: Harley Davidson
Belt and leather gloves: Vintage
Hat: bought locally


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Benefit booing concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Elf mineral e/s in golden and glamorous, L’Oreal retractable eyeliner in brown, Korres black eyeliner, Max Factor masterpiece max mascara in black/brown
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Mac creme de nude lipstick, Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

I would very much like to invest in a cashmere camel coat. Would you invest in such a piece?

The piano scarf!

It’s funny how some clothes or accessories have a history of their own. This tartan scarf is almost as old as I am and I can’t even remember if I ever wore it when I was little. The only thing I remember about it is that we used it to cover the piano keys (I used to take piano lessons when I was a kid). I don’t know why the poor scarf had been condemned to such a fate! When we gave the piano away I decided to keep the scarf and have been saving it in my closet ever since. I think it was about time that little old scarf saw the light of day...






Coat: Claude Zana
Sweater: Zara
Jeans: Harley Davidson
Shoes: Casadei
Scarf: old
Brooch: Vintage
Sunglasses: Rayban
Bag: Mulberry for target

Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturizer SPF 30, Kryolan camouflage concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: Korres black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Korres cherry lipgloss in coral

Today I was in such a hurry that I didn’t place my tripod correctly, so I cut off a bit of hair here and a bit of shoe there, lol!

In-fuschiated!

I like my blacks but I also like color. Strong and bright color, like fuschia. Yesterday I wore it as a lipstick, today I needed a much stronger dose of it. I’m wearing a long knit I got a few years back from Bershka, which I adore, if only it didn’t make me look so fat! So I put my old Moschino coat on top to hide the bulkiness. Completed the look with a pair of bright pink socks and a matching pashmina and off I was to buy a few things for my house. I ended up buying nothing, but I enjoyed looking. Next time I’ll visit IKEA and maybe I’ll be more lucky...





Coat: Moschino
Knit: Bershka
Jeans: Harley Davidson
Bag: Pinko
Shoes: original tango shoes
Pashmina: bought from Turkey
Earrings: bought locally


Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Elf complexion perfection

Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

I was supposed to go to a gig tonight where my friend Paul would play (the guitar) along with his blues band. And he also told me I would sing a song with him if I showed up. I feel so bad for not going but my feet are killing me from all the running around. I promised him that next time they have a gig I’ll be there because I really miss singing...

Day 62 - The girl with the print scarf!

If you are reading this, then I guess you know that the blog has “moved” and here we are, at our new “home”!
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it again, but I have a huge scarf collection. Most of them are vintage, given to me by my mom and grandma. Plenty of them are not even silk or expensive, but they have beautiful colors and prints. I love scarves, they are a very elegant addition to an outfit and there’s so much you can do with them. You can even tie them at your wrist, or wear them as belts.
The one I’m wearing here has a nice print, which could be a mixture between Versace and Burberry! It has a flaw, but when you wrap it around your neck, you can easily hide it!






Jacket: Zara
Sweater: Zara
Scarf: vintage
Jeans: Harley Davidson
Shoes: Tango shoes (bought from a dance school)
Socks: Calzedonia

Face: Elf complexion perfection powder
Eyes: Korres black eyeliner, Avon super extend mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Kryolan lipshine circle (the color is not as pink as it appears here)

Do you wear scarves and how?
