Wedding gown: attempt #1

I'm getting married! In like four months! So it's high time to think of everything, starting with the gown. As my Mom, our friend and I can sew, my gown will most probably be sewn for me - it will take as much time as finding the right one in a shop and be way less stressful and expensive.

So, I'll start with the bottom. It has to be like that:

This is a dress by Sarah and I just love the way the fabric is drapped.

The top could be something like that:


But I'd rather have sleeves with an empire waist, which is very flattering for me:




These two also have amazing bottoms:

I'm engaged!

I'm engaged!

Actually, I have been for a week now, so if you follow my other blog/twitter/facebook/whatever, you probably already know. Anyway, I've been so busy since then, and that's why I'm writing about it here that late.

Of course, I couldn't post here about my engagement without showing the ring. I don't have an exact picture (guess I should take one), but here's a resembling ring:


I'm so happy!

Honestly, it's cute, but isn't it going a bit too far?

I'm a sucker for colorful tights

I've always been a sucker for colorful tights. Unfortunately, I thought they were for preschool children and didn't really own any until they became so hot a season of two ago. Then yesterday, I found two beautiful pairs, a blue one and a fushia one, that soon ended up in my shopping bag. I was just concerned that they were over, until this morning. I was browsing fashion blogs and came across this:
You probably don't need any more explanations, but I'll just say this pic comes from the GOOP newsletter and it kinda suggests that fushia tights are in - I like that and I'm gonna stick to that.

On my wishlist: a cool laptop skin

I bought a pink laptop a few days ago! But I'm not throwing the old one (black) away, and if you want a laptop to look great, you don't have to buy it pink - just buy a skin!

Well, easier said than done, when the choice is soo big!

Rugs by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

I don't always get Mary-Kate and Ashley's design aesthetics, but I love the colorful rugs they have recently designed.

On my wishlist: some emo stuff

I'm not emo. It's the palette, the music notes (as graphical elements) and how sweet the little cupcakes look. I just found a store with emo stuff I'd be glad to have.

Pretty in leggins

Three pictures of great looks with leggins this morning.

The first one is a picture of Emma Watson in an outfit focused on leggins - that's my favourite way of wearing them, though it's hard for that look to be flattering.

This is a street style picture form The Sartorialist. Here, the leggins just add a bit of length to the outfit and you barely notice them - very well put-together.

Another leggins-based outfit. I think you have to be a model to look good in that shape and black to look good in those colors - but that girl does look great.
