STUFF OF MINE
By Mariu
I don't feel comfortable taking pictures of myself, but I do like it when people share its own images. That is why I decided to share a few things I own and appreciate with you ;)
The last t-shirt I bought for $17
My tiny but lovely room, the other side is actually messy and I will expose it once I organize and clean everything up.
A collage I did to decorate my agenda - cover/front.

PURSE - CLUTCH - BAG - CASE
Which one's your favourite?
By Mariu
Nancy Gonzalez brilliant croc slim clutch
Cute, tiny and shinny, to finish a night black outwear.
Marc Jacobs (loooove) crystal quilted stam satchel $2350 - I will have to resign some hours of sleep and to work extra hours, but I will own a bag like this one day =)
Miu Miu clutch, I am not so sure though - isn't this colour gorgeous? I like the fact that it is flat.

I enjoy designers that give special attention to details and that understand that interiors have to be as attractive as the rest... plaids, peacocks or stripes that don't match the outside of purses or cases at all are also very nice.
Despite the fact I am not english, I like shields, patterns and flags as much as I love hearts.

IT IS TIME FOR A CUTE JACKET
By Mariu
I apologize for not posting these past days but I couldn't get into my blog because of an internet problem.
So here are 5 lovely options...
The velvet makes it really elegant and I am so into this type of jackets, because you can fold it and create, I guess, a more boho (more informal) look with a shirt below.
This removable synthetic fur makes the difference.

I am in love with this shirt, which I thought it was a jacket. I stand out the dark blue making some contrast with the white animals (I don't know their name).
If you want to avoid the folding part I mentioned before, just buy one theat has it all.
It's length is important... since you have shorter arms, you must elongate the middle area and make you look slimmer.
This leather item rocks my senses. I not only see an amazing jacket, but I can also imagine a purse with this impressive light brown and its texture seems to be very soft.

WHAT WOULD YOU WEAR TODAY?
By Mariu


I first want to tell everyone that posted a comment that you make me really happy =)
To all of you that are wondering where do I get this images from, here are some of the sites I have been visiting lately:
- topshop
- asos.com
- shoplanetblue.com
- peeps.com
- mybagsvendor.com
This one is a basic v-neck t-shirt, great to make your chest look longer and slimmer; it is longer on the sides to give you that idea of elongated body because the cotton embraces your hips.
If you wear something baggy in your top, then your bottom should be more tight and viceversa. You should see what body parts you are most likely to stand out and which ones you want to make softer.


Lovely bag, comfortable and a colour that matches absolutely everything.

This coat is very chic, meaning that is elegant and the way it is made makes your neck less uncovered; you can add a scarve or a good pair of earings and that is all.
See that flat shoes can be as charming as heels sometimes? It all depends on how you compliment your clothes.

I recently got this perfume Pretty Nina by Nina Ricci, but the lady that sold it to me gave me the Eau de Toilette instead of the Eau de Parfum, so it seems that the scent of it is less concentrated and fixative, it does not last as much as the other one. Anyways, I like it for spring time since it is very fresh and fruity, but once I finish it I will start to look for another fragrance that has sandalwood or vanilla, which are my favourites and have a much stronger odour.

THAT WHICH MAKES YOU LOOK SPECIAL
By Mariu
Now we see them eeeeverywhere, in lots of magazines and that's because they really change your appearance but still make you look stylish and urban.
Nature can be represented in so many ways, and this necklaces make that statement 100% true; butterflies less or more abstract for example.
Big rings with your arms completely nude make your fingers stand out, so you'd better have your nails done and have your hands clean.
BELTS - when we talk about them we think of an item that somehow finishes your skirt or dress. If you want a formal and classical overall look, make sure to match your belt with your shoes ;)
BOTTOM'S
By Mariu
This outfit would be a good option to go to work; it is the simplicity of the pencil/straight skirt that I liked. Maybe red lips if you want a more sophisticated look.
I like everything on this skirt: the plaid, the fact that it is superposed and the diagonal folds.
The contrast makes it different and nice, but I would change the waist by using a belt.
Well, I will update with some belts and other accesories to make sure that all of this simple skirts have something that makes them look special.
Thanks to all of you that leave lovely comments and that follow me!!

BLING BLING BLING
By Mariu
I would like to make clear that what follows has definitely nothing to do with sparkling diamonds or great metals... it is just fantasy to open our eyes and escape from reality hehe (Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody).
I loooove this ones. You see, I like doing handmade objects like necklaces, but when it comes to materials such as these, I just gasp hoping to find an earing like this one... it is pretty complicated to create this stuff on your own or at least to achieve one that looks similar.
When I first gave a look at this wings I thought they were cute and dreamful. But, after staring at them for some minutes, I noticed that the material they are made of looked really chunky and cheap. Not to mention the fact that every time I see them it reminds me of the wings miss Nicole Ritchie has tattooed on her back =S
Attracted by the combination of colours and by hearts... they will always be lovely to me.
Very casual and adequate for a daytime look: not too shiny, neither too big.
Happy Sunday everyone and thanks to my 4 followers ;)
