August Rain

rubber boots from a random Asian street store in NYC, the most counterfeit product I ever owned

Well, it is still August but since today it feels like autumn. We have had heavy rain and thunder that night (I completely slept through it and did not hear anything...) and streets were slightly flooded. 

I hope that summer is not finally over and we will have a sunny September. Normally this is one of the best months in this region with empty beaches and nice temperatures.

New In

I finally received my asos order. French mailing is not very efficient so I always have to be a little patient.

I am very satisfied with the articles and will keep both. What I really like about asos is that both delivery and eventual returns are free of charge. I am very hesitating about ordering, because I cannot try the things on before buying. This is why ordering on asos is very convenient.

I bought a PIECES tube scarf and a RIVER ISLAND white lace dress. I got both on sale plus an extra 10% discount.

Flea Market

I love going to flea markets, and whenever I do not work on Sunday mornings and have the time I drive around to three different ones close to my place. It is pretty astonishing what people sell. 

I am often very lucky and find good and valuable things, for example these nice Chanel flats. They came with the original box, and I got them for ! 3€ ! 

Those findings can make my day...

DIY

Last year I started taking a sewing class. I always wanted to learn sewing, but I never had the time to take a class. I eventually bought a sewing machine and decided that now is the time to enroll in a class.

My teacher was pretty awesome and I learned a lot. Since then, I try to make my own things whenever I can (sewing is very time-consuming especially if you do not have a studio where you can leave your stuff).

Inspired by Vicky's outfit, and since the short has been sold out on zara's online store, I decided to make one on my own. And here it is...

(As a test I made one before in mint without lace)

Flowers

I love flowers and whenever I see nice flowers I take pictures of them. 

I never really had a green thumb but when I got an orchid last year for my birthday I started being interested in having a nice green and flowery garden. Orchids are perfect for garden beginners; they are just easy to grow and do not need a lot of attention. In fact, they grow best if you disregard them. And then they come in simple beauty and a wide range of colours.

Summer Slump

It seems that most bloggers have been gone indulging their annual vacation break. Since I work in tourism, I have the peak season when others take their break from work. This means I actually do have time to blog.

After blogging passively for quiet a long time (which means following several blogs) I decided to create my own blog. So here I am!

My first post has something to do with summer and vacation: Inspiration from BARCELONA. I simply adore that city and if I had the possibility I would move there immediately.

Last time I have been there was in June and I love sitting at the seafront and watch people and their style. Check out some pictures I took at that time.

Stay tuned there will be more posts following and the next trip to Barcelona is already in preparation!
