Rosy life

 In the Summer, being comfy takes priority. That doesn't have to mean compromising on style. I love logo tops because they add a fun element even if you keep the rest the rest of your outfit simple. Also this Helmut Lang blazer has been one of the best buys of the year. English weather often requires layers and I've been reaching for it again and again.

Life lately

I've recently started wearing more eye-shadows, but pink lips are my signature (also  demonstrated in second picture), wine and Sex and the city marathon - perfect Sunday evening?!, coffee and new monthlies - great way to relax, possibly one of my favourite outfits ever, buying flowers for my friend - white roses are so chic!, make up I've been wearing recently, new found obsession - coconut frappe - yummy!
 
I've said it many times before (on various social media) but I'm addicted to Instagram. I feel I've been close to obsessed lately - it's the last thing I check before going to sleep and first thing after I wake up (sad I know..). So here's few things I've been snapping lately.
 
Have a stylish day.

Back to basics

 The other day I had one of those morning when I simply could not decide what to wear. I tried on few things and nothing felt right. In the end (after quite a few changes) I decided to keep it simple and put on some of my favourite basic items that never let me down. Timeless classics that feel right every time are good to invest in and I'm glad I did. Even though I wore a simple outfit I fell great and that's what's it about.
What are the items your always reach for?

Jeans J Brand, wrap cardigan Just Cavalli, flats Valentino, bag Dolce and Gabbana, sunglasses Dior, earrings New look, rings YSL and H&M. Nails Barry M Fuchsia, lips Nars lip pencil in YU.

Florals and brights

I've had this skirt for ages and always loved it but only always wore it for evening. I've been long thinking about dressing it down a notch to make it more appropriate for day wear. I kind of hope I nailed it because I loved wearing this outfit. Floral shirt is still smart but not too strict because it's a fun print so I think that was the key here. Also smart wedges are business appropriate (not canvas ones) but for creative jobs this outfit ticks all the right boxes.

The ultimate guide to pink lips II.

 It is no secret I love pink lips (well most pink things...). I would even say it's my signature look. I occasionally wear red or nude but very rarely. I did my first guide to pink lips last year here,
but since then discovered new pink beauties which I fell in love with, so I thought I'd do an updated guide. Starting with my current favourite:
1. Nars  Satin lip pencil in YU
It's very bright pink. It's the first lip pencil I've tried from Nars and I fell in love with it and am thinking about buying more. It's super moisturising and has a nice shiny texture and feels nice on. Perfect for every day (if like me you like bright lips). It's very similar colour to Nars Schiap.

2. Nars Schiap
Again very bright (neon like) colour. Before purchasing the pencil, it was one lipstick I wore most but sometime feels too bright. It's down to the matte effect I think because even though it's similar shade, the pencil is not so in your face. Still one of my faves though. Perfect if you need to add a colour to your outfit.

3. Nars Funny face
This is a fuchsia shade (according to them) and it's quite dark. I prefer wearing this in the autumn but still other times too. It's a gorgeous colour and perfect if you want something not so bright. Like the other Nars lipstick it lasts well but feels a bit dry as it's from the matte collection.

4. Clinique Chubby stick in Watermelon
Very very light, more like a gloss. It's moisturizing and feels nice but doesn't last long. It's perfect when you're wearing heavy eye make up or if you prefect very natural look. Also nice layering over lipstick to give it a nice glow.
 
Have you tried any of these? What are your favourite pink lipsticks?
 

Have a stylish day.

Stripes and studs

I love mixing high street and designer and casual pieces with dressier one. I think this outfit is a good case in point. All clothes from H&M with designer accessories and a casual skirt with my Valentino rockstuds may be an unusual combination, but one I really enjoyed wearing. This vest is super old but always seems to add a nice finishing touch to outfit.
Do you like denim vests?
