Here it is again, the dreaded session. So I am taking a short break to show you some new photos and then it's back to learning. Plus the weather has been really dreadful the past week, not much else to do and with just one day of sunshine, I took advantage to catch up on photoshooting. So I won't tell you much today other than to check out the Talis online shop from which I got this gorgeous goddess-wrap dress! It's a great casual-chic, the fabric is quality cotton and very flattering! I can't usually wear this style of dress, so that says a lot!
A second sunny day was a great chance for a quick stroll through the countryside. The advantage of living on the outskirts of a city is that nature is always just 5 minutes away so I plan to take full advantage of this after the exams. I saw so many perfect places for photos! And this dress makes me think of spring and wast green fields, so light and pretty!
Oasap dress, Accessorize jewelry
The web is full of online shops catering to all sorts of categories, but it's rare that one would truly stand out through branding and designs. The first thing I noticed when this shop was introduced to me was the original logo. Even if it's fairly simple, it's recognizable and makes me feel like this is a serious shop.
Concerning the clothes, they are mostly for special events. But the DressWe 2014 wedding dresses are cheap, you can find them here (which is where the dress featured above was selected from): http://www.dresswe.com/lace-wedding-dresses-3581/ . And to complete the gown, they also have cheap women wedding shoes and hot sales: http://www.dresswe.com/wedding-shoes-4365/ . The special occasion dresses are also often the center of great promotions.
I must admit, it's a bit early to think about summer outfits given the current prospects. But after having a look through the shop and picking out some items I realized they are better suited for the beach than for the dreadful rain that's been drowning us *almost* daily for the past month.
But I do love these thing, they immediately stood out for me. The Dolce&Gabbana inspired dress for a scorching hot holiday in Tuscany or the blue gradient dress for a nymph-like look somewhere in the cool Nordic countries (if you can bear the temperatures in a sleeveless dress). And the green skirt, which I find has a very fresh color, makes me think of a '50s look. And then of course the shoes, oh yes, the shoes. I've been liking a lot of "weirder" shapes lately and usually with high heels, although I don't often get to wear them. I guess I'm collecting them for darker days. Oh and not to forget the swimming suit. I've seen similar ones before, with the skeleton print, but somehow they never attracted me. It was probably the colors. But this one is awesome! Makes me think of a H.R. Giger illustration!

Sometimes I wonder why it was decided that white should be the color of purity. Or why is it associated with both brides and ghosts. Is it really so pure when the specter of white contains all the other colors, is it not more blinding and subjugating and violent event, invading every space it can? Surely, black should be the purest color, for it's not tainted by anything else...
Last weekend was quite sunny so I've put on my new tartan dress. The funny thing is that now we have moved in a somewhat more rural part of the town and when we went to the local shop, lots of people were staring at me. I suppose that here even this is considered a flashy outfit...
I love this dress and it arrived super quickly, in a beautiful box. Plus it's made in UK! And with the tartan print, it's a true british spirit that it has!
I have so many photos now waiting to be edited but hardly get around to doing it because of allocating most of my time to learning for university. The bigger news is that we have moved, so that means new places for taking photos. If only my schedule would allow it. Because the spring (or summer??) is here and it's sunny and warm and flowers have started blooming and all I want to do is go outside...
There is a lot of choice this season when it comes to lady-like crystal jewelry and that can only make me happy! While I'm not the one to go for the super-colorful and fluorescent, I have managed to find some jewelry in more neutral tones. I think they have a great vintage feel, reminding me of the glorious eras of the 20s and 50s. Part of this look's jewelry come from Girl Intuitive and you should definitely check them out, because they have a wonderful range of elegant jewelry with styles going from tribal to rock to glamour. And I paired my jewelry with a fairly simple black velvet dress with contrasting white lace collar and cuffs and a pair of tall purple suede wedges, for the ultimate "vintage meets modern" look.

I love the Muted Chic bracelet, it has a sort of steampunk look with the aged chain and the overlaid crystals. Very elegant!
And an imposing baroque silver cross necklace from Girl Intuitive of which you will see more in next week's post!
A quick visit to Chateau Chambordt is always welcome. I love that place. And although the weather has been moody and had us stuck inside most of the time, I did spend a good holiday. Christmas and New Years seem to have passed so fast this year! How I'd wish to celebrate once more before university starts again! But I'm chained to the cart of time, like everyone else, with the horses sometimes galloping and sometimes drowsy, with the squeaky wheels and the bumps in the road. We keep moving on and occasionally lift our head to glance at the road we've left behind....
So I hope you all spent a wonderful holiday and wish you a wonderful 2014!
