Resolutions

Hello my dear bubbles!

Remember me telling you in my last week’s post that I’ll start buying shirts? The next day I went into a mall and got myself the first 2015 shirt, a plated red and blue. I’ve always liked this kind of shirts and many times I tried them on, but for some reason they did not fit. Maybe the wrong size (NEVER buy a bigger one just because you really really like it), maybe the wrong shape (same advice goes here), maybe not the best color, but that was my lucky day. And finally I have the chance to wear my studded belt! (It waited a few years for the best match, I knew some day it was going to happen. )

What I love about these shirts is how you can match them with everything: pants, skirts, classy look, boy-sh look, grunge look.

Next step on the resolutions list: try the white ones!

Not so little red riding hood

Happy new year my bubbly bubbles!

How did you spend your holidays?

Me, I had some nice time with my family on Christmas and I spent a few days in Paris (and two days in Amsterdam), busy and exciting moments for me. I have no festive outfit to share from my holiday as I spent most of the time wondering the streets and museums, visiting as much as possible, so I wore my outfit for wondering the streets ( you've already seen it on the  Coats that keep winter away  post). It may come as a shocker but I'm not much of a shopper when I travel the world, I rather admire the streets, visit the museums, learn the history and all that touristic stuff,  I'm sharing with you a few images from my trip to prove that. 

But I will share a red outfit, let’s call it Not so little red riding hood, an outfit to welcome the new year with joy and excitement, vibrant colors and a feminine look.

So how about you, how festive have you been these past two weeks?

And a bonus question: What are your new year’s resolutions, related to fashion? I bet you have some and if you don’t…I can help you with that ;) 

As for my new year's resolution on the fashion matter, I must get more shirts (specially white ones) as I noticed I don't have much of that. And what better way to get out of a situation but wearing a white shirt...

I'll leave to it my bubbly bubbles, see you on the next post! 

Dear Santa!

Well I haven’t been that nice, but I haven’t been bad either. And to be honest, I fell like this year I did far more things and worked more on my dreams and passions. So yeah, I am sure I deserve all your presents.

And to show you what a nice girl I've been, here, look at these pictures of how I’m waiting for you (in a nice girl outfit).

So my dear Santa, please bring some pretty things and leave them under the tree, I’ll find them when I get back from Paris! 

Coats that keep winter away

Last week I’ve been ravaging the shops in search of a coat. I had something sporty in mind but in the end this idea fainted away. I tried a few sporty coats but I decided that style is not for me.

So I decided to try something urban cool smart, something that’s more of my style. To be honest, I expected to get back home empty handed, as most of the clothes are pretty much the same…and I’m no ordinary person, to wear a regular coat. I was in for a nice surprise, as I had a large options range so here’s what I tried on.

I decided in the end to go with this red/burgundy coat, with a furry collar. As I’m not tall, I went for something of medium length; long coats make me look like a penguin. This sweet reddish thing got me convinced: it’s nice, sweet, and cool, it looks grate with by boots, I can wear in this urban cool style or I can match it to a smarter look so yeah, it was definitely the winner.

I paired it with the burgundy boots and my new hat (adorable acquisition by the way) and yeah, it’s me alright!

How about you my bubbly bubbles, what kind of winter coat do you wear? What kind of coat do you dream of? When will you turn your dream into the perfect warm wintery outfit?

Black and white mime

What are your feelings about black and white? I for one think I don’t have enough of these non-colors in my wardrobe, because you can never have too many neutrals. Of course they go grate with any color, but aren't they great together?

I love how black and white can make you look smart for any occasion, how together they form the seriousness’ costume. You can make it cool, casual, comfy, or totally smart, this “costume” will definitely make you noticeable…just as easy as it can make you fade in the crowd.

Black and white may sound dusty, insipid, and dull but it’s up to you to give it some life, some energy and passion. Try some fun and funky accessories, match modern clothes with common clothes, use a statement item, do whatever it takes to make your mime costume shine.

As for my example, I picked a pair of black leggings and simple black boots with a large sweater and a long white shirt (longer than the large sweater J ) And to spice it up a bit more, I added a black beret and a strong purple lipstick (yes, make up is an interesting way of accessorizing an outfit)

It’s your turn now my bubbly bubbles, spice up your black and white costume! 

Boots ballerina

Didn't I promise you colors this winter? Well here I am! A pink and Bordeaux blouse and winter colors knee high socks. Because yes, winter also has colors, you just have to discover them.

You can go with the autumn-winter colors (Bordeaux, navy blue, mustard yellow) or you can try the full winter colors (red and green in all shades and tones plus the snowy white).

Be bold, not only on Christmas, but all winter long! Start wearing your Christmasy sweaters, your warm fluffy colorful socks, and your many cold weather accessories (hats, scarves and gloves). Go ravage the shops in search of accessories and pick the most colorful (matched together, of course). There’s no need for you to buy all colors, just go for one you like best and make it your winter signature.

Take my example; I've decided to be a boots wearing ballerina. It’s time you try on your winter costume. Pick your role and get out there, on the winter’s scene! 

Bloody red winter

How are you my bubbly bubbles? Missed me? Well it's cold outside, you can call it winter already, and I'm sorry to say but I'm not really in the mood to getting all dressed up and pretty for pictures. I'm mostly dressing up comfy and I don't feel like going out for the nice images. So you'll see a bit less of me...but don't worry, I'm not gone for good. I'm just going to post less often. 

I hope you won't miss me too much and keep following my blog.

Now getting back on track...Yes, this darn cold weather scares us all and we may not feel like getting pretty, but please be bold and wear strong colors. Don't let winter win! Let's start a war against cold weather, let's get strong and kick her ass off.

Here I am, kicking ass on a Monday, a cold snowy Monday (a few snow flakes felt down this morning). I am all prepared: strong bloody red winter. How about you?

Do have your hats, scarves and gloves ready for this fight? Not yet! Don't just stand there, get your cold weather pretty clothes and come out for this fight!
