Road to lectures

Okay so my camera decided to act up and the photos are kinda fuzzy...don't you just wish you had a portraitist following you about everywhere, drawing you flawlessly? Actually no, that would classify as creepy and stalkerish.

What I'd call a perfect weekend

Term's almost done and the trip to Florence fast approaching (expect a ton of photos on here). That didn't mean that I couldn't treat myself to a weekend city break to London to see my mum.

These streets

Befriending colour

It pains me to tell you that I was feeling like taking some outfit photos and so afterwards, I was left all dressed up with my hair done and a full face of makeup and no idea where to go out!

Knightsbridge may well be a tourist destination but the backstreets are an iron-fenced-white-washed-stone-facaded maze that few venture on. A big mistake in my opinion since the quintessential posh London lifestyle can be observed only here. When you walk down the winding streets and pass some shiny Aston Martin, you may even pretend that is your car. What I like about it is that that's ok! It's actually encouraged and there is no one to put you to shame for living a fantasy life for a few hours which I completely agree with and exercise myself once in a while.

One glorious Sunday noon I decided to be such a fancy person and obey the rules of the charade game. My new Reiss oxblood bag on cue and Moschino scarf that I forgot I had, I strutted down those streets as if its routine. In fact, I hadn't worn a skirt in absolutely ages and that pained me so I couldn't pass the skirt hangers when putting my outfit together that morning.

After some browsing in Zara that resulted in me falling in love with some badass espadrilles that will shortly find their way to my home and some damage being done in Anthropologie (evidence soon to follow on this space), I headed back to Knightsbridge to the one and only Harrods. Far from being my favourite department store, it does have its perks. I originally came for the Dior events that apparently were taking place but found no trace of them whatsoever so I took refuge at the Bobbi Brown counter, my first stop choice together with Dior. I was advised by the nicest woman ever and left with some goodies that will also grace my blog soon enough and about which I am SO excited! That and the William Curley giant macaroons pretty much sum up my weekend, hope yours was even better! ^.^

The spectacular sunset is on me.

Spring had sprung...but I'm wearing boots now

For a few days, there were actually more than 10 degrees Celsius, a true feat of nature. Hence why I thought that I will be able to wear cropped trousers and no jacket... it was only meant to last for a short while.

The lovely spring flowers belong to Nymans House in the National Trust and the photos belong to the smaller camera. As always, my Nikon was out of battery, just my luck!

Fashion is a work of art

I cannot express the amount of love I have for my new bag! I did a little impromptu balcony photo shoot in a spring inspired outfit to showcase it best but the changing light was just not on my side.

My outfit consists of a last season Massimo Dutti mint green shirt, a Benetton knitted long jumper, Oliver Bonas feather necklace and black leggings. The tan-peach Gianni Conti bag did most of the talking though.

I got it from the Cambridge TKMaxx...I was meant to be at a post offer open day but somehow ended up doing a little shopping, that never happens! (sense the sarcasm) I really recommend it for bags, they have a great selection. I can see it being filled with tons of books, folders and my laptop for a day around campus or as a weekend bag because it can fit a whole three outfits which is a real feat.
