HERMES colorful bracelets

Even though I rarely wear many bracelets on my arms, I really liked these HERMES enamel patterned little beauties. They look fun and colorful and would brighten up any outfit. A little out of my price range though, gotta look for something similar ;)

Hair Inspiration

Can't wait to try this!

Sweet Tooth

Treated myself to some chocolate and macaron indulgence. 

Sometimes it's just what a girl needs ;)

California: DESERT

I really loved this part of the trip. I've never seen the desert landscape before and I just couldn't stop taking photos! It was so different from any place I have ever been and so interesting in its own way.

California: BEACH

Nothing like a day on a beach in California :) 

Hello from California! San Diego Time :)

California!

Since I booked my ticket yesterday I've had this song on repeat:

I just landed in Los Angeles and the sunset outside with the palm trees told me, yup, I'm in Cali ;) I have to say that from the plane LA looks like a never ending stretch of houses amongst the hills, it's completely different from New York where everything is so concentrated.

Here's a photo of me being very excited on the plane :D

Next stop: SAN DIEGO!!

Lots more photos coming ;)

Good Morning! - My 3 favorite ways to start the day :)

1. A delicious cup of coffee with great conversation :) (Had this latte and a great chat the other morning and decided I should do this at least once a week :D)

2. Biking the seawall and through a path between the trees as the early sun shines through.

3. Early Morning Swim at the pool (I am not a good swimmer, but after 20 minutes I feel relaxed and ready to take on the day and it's exercise!)

What's your favorite morning like? :)

Like walking into Europe :)

On my walk today, stumbled upon this beautiful little store called Notting Hill. Inside it's like a beautiful little dream and everything is imported from Europe. So pretty!

Made me think about my dream home and all the little things I would have to make it unique and cozy.

Coffee Time

It's now the fall season! I am wearing a big chunky scarf and dark booties and a hat and remembering how much I love fall style :)

Also, I realized I really need to learn to pose properly so you can see the clothes :D

The Search for that perfect nude.. ;)

.. pumps that is!

I got my pair from Browns couture and I just love them. They are a pink nude color which suits my skin tone perfectly and they just go with everything and make your legs seem a mile longer. perfect :)

But you my dear are still looking for some perfect pumps, and I found some online!

This beautiful leather pair is from Stuart Weitzman. Kind of breaks the bank, but worth it if you want to invest in a shoe that you will wear for a long time through many seasons.

This patent leather nude pump is from Michael Kors. It's more reasonably priced than Stuart Weitzman but still good quality. In fact I was going to get these but the more beige tone of these shoes just doesn't match my skin. 

This is patent leather from Aldo and so reasonably priced at just $80! They actually have many variations - with platform or without, shorter or longer heel, patent or pure leather, etc and the price range is very good, so check them out online! :)

Makeover by Estee Lauder!

The other day I booked a free one-hour tutorial with Estee Lauder where they introduced me to their new products. I have to say, I am in love with some of them.

When it comes to Estee Lauder, I can't use their skincare lines. I find the moisturizers a little thick and leave my skin feeling a bit oily. 

But the decorative makeup! Well, that's a whole different story. Here are some pictures of my "makeover" and my favorite products from the line :)

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I realized that I should've taken a photo with my eyes closed because they did some pretty makeup there, next time!

The products I loved:

This eye-shadow palette is a dream. The colors are absolutely beautiful. Especially the purple-blue, is just the right dark purple tinted shade. What I also loved about it is that you can apply it dry or wet, when it's wet it's kind of this luxurious rich consistency with an intense color.. just loved it.

I guess you can see I really love purple eye-shadow but it's because I have green eyes and the purple really makes them standout. This color here is amazing. It's so vibrant and it has just the right amount of glitter. Perfect for going out. When they showed it to me I really wanted them to redo my entire makeup  :D but it was middle of the day and I couldn't really walk around with a dramatic purple smokey eye.. but it's so beautiful!

This is just such a convenient little compact to carry around. 

All in all, the make-up tutorial was fun and I was happy to try some new products. I can definitely recommend some Estee Lauder products!
