Hello my fellow readers. After several months I'm back with a new outfit, this gingham dress is a total copy of a mini skirt my mum had in the youth years. Everything new is the forgotten old, especially now. So in love with my newest bag from Asos, really cool to see more and more this type of bags, easy and natural, perfect for summer because leather and other artificial materials are so "out" in the summertime. I mean this bag screams itself summer, sand, sea and beach of course.And I like that you can wear them not only in your vacation by the sea. 

Speaking about vacation, this week I'm FINALLY heading home after one year in London, quite unbelievable. Then one week somwhere else, away from stress, big city and work. So pretty exciting times ahead...someone told me that I start to sound like a Londoner, well living here for almost one year made me to be a bit like them I guess.

Hope you're enjoying this summer so far, take care and speak to you soon! xx

Buying gifts is always difficult but when you’re trying to buy for your dad, it’s almost impossible. He isn’t going to drop any hints about what he wants and if you ask you won’t get much out of him. Dad always tend to get the same boring gifts year in, year out. Maybe that’s why they aren’t as excited about birthdays and holidays as they used to be. For younger men, you can always count on buying them the latest piece of tech but your dad probably won’t know or care what it is. It’ll end up stuck in the back of a cupboard with the rest of the useless gifts that he’s gotten over the year. If you want to surprise him this year with something he’s going to love, follow these simple tips.

Get light and open shoes

The last thing you want is for your feet to become too hot this summer. You never know when you might visit a friend’s house and they ask you to remove them. Nobody wants the embarrassment of having smelly feet. So, do yourself a favour and check out some of the light and open shoes available in stores today. Anything with straps is going to look stunning, and they could compliment almost any outfit you wear. Best of all? There are some excellent cheap products available from high street stores at the moment. You just need to find something that tickles your fancy.

Buy short summer dresses

If you’ve been working out a lot recently, you probably want to show your sexy legs off this summer. Well, you’re in luck because most brands have just released their ranges of summer dresses. Look for something light and airy that is going to help you stay cool in the heat. Colours like white and yellow are popular this year. However, they also have a functional advantage. Light reflects off light colours, and so you should manage to stay cool. Check fashion magazines if you want to learn about the latest trends. Still, I recommend just heading down to your local stores and choosing something you find appealing. Don’t worry too much about what other people are wearing.

Find a lightweight coat

When you go out with your friends this summer, you’ll probably leave home in the early evening. That means the temperature is still high, and it’s tempting to go out without a coat. However, we all know how much you’re going to shiver when you’re waiting to get a taxi home. So, do yourself a favour and find a lightweight coat you can fold into your handbag. Of course, you still want something that’s going to look fantastic. So, shop around the see what you can find. I won’t recommend any particular styles because that’s down to you.

Whatever you do this summer, I hope you take the advice from this article. You just need some clothing that will make you appear attractive but also keep you cool during the daytime. You also need something to stop you from feeling too cold during the evening. Now is the time to head out with a friend for a shopping trip. Don’t leave it too long because you might miss out on the most popular items. They tend to fly off the shelves.

See you next time! xx

Life is full of surprises. Some are bad, some are good. But in the midst of a hard time – whether it is healing from an abusive relationship or simply managing everyday stress – it can be difficult to remember that you matter as an individual. Indeed, in stressful times, people tend to forget about themselves and focus on everything else that is going on. But, you can’t ignore your natural needs forever. The more you do, and the more you push yourself away, the more you suffer. Indeed, you can’t perform under highly stressful circumstances if you don’t take care for yourself first. As an individual,  you need to be able to create a bubble of peace and happiness where you can retreat, if you need to. And this means that there is no way that you can go through a dark time without feeling emotionally, mentally and physically drained. But if you can find your happy bubble, you can recharge your batteries – especially the emotionally battery, which often goes through a lot of pressure – and be ready to face any situation.

It at the darkest of time that you need to remind yourself of the little joys in the world. Why not reward yourself with something special? Consider a gift to yourself your way of reminding yourself that you are loved and that you care about yourself. From purchasing a cute little outfit to get over a stressful project at work to finding the perfect ring to celebrate the end of a difficult relationship – if you are looking for good jewelers, check Kay Jewelers reviews online, it’s a great place to start – a gift is designed as a reward for going through hard times. While it doesn’t make things easier, it’s like a little bubble of strength that can keep you going.

Take The Time To Have Time

Believe In Yourself

Probably one of the coolest trends of this season are metallics, especially I'm into silver since I remember myself,as a matter of fact the only jewelry I wear all the time is a silver ring - I think from 14 years or something like this.But yea, here the main spot is gold because that's the eyecatcher of this outfit.It's casual,a bit sporty with a touch of 90's - the fishnets again of course.These cool trainers I'm wearing for the first time, even if ordered them since last November.

I had such a big emotional storm lately and wasn't the best period of my life but there is one good thing out of sadness, I got inspired and started to write again lyrics, which I didn't for ages.Nothing helps more like transforming the pain into art, because it's natural and made out of real feelings.I'm not talking generally about this side of my life but sometimes it's such a relief.Maybe someday I'll publish them here...till then hope you'll have a sunny Wednesday! Hugs, V xx
