Bold Colours from Calzedonia

Although some serious really elegant people might contest this fact, one sure and constant thing about me is that I love colours and colourful outfits. Sometimes I do match everything properly, sometimes not too much, but I keep being colourful.
After all, life is too short to wear plain boring uni clothes, isn't it? As I do wear in 99.9% of the cases dresses and skirts, matching thights is a big concern when it comes to creating an outfit. And all those who know me for a while, noticed how much I love colourful special tights. Even that the rest of my outfit is modest and usual and not so outstanding, the tights are making a very big difference, therefore I am always looking for interesting products and combinations.
When it comes to legwear, Calzedonia is by far my favorite brand to find the best tights, at incredible convenient prices. The tights are always long lasting, special - both in terms of colours or patterns - and simply adorn my feet like a beautiful jewellery. I love everything about them, and although I am not so revolutionary to wear socks, some of their collections of fine elegant socks are amazing. This time, I bought three beautiful samples of the Soft Touch Collection: Verde Bosco (dark green), which goes fine with light outfits, Cobalt Blue which is a vibrant blue I love to match it with perfectly modest black skirts, and a Retro Pink which is a pastel colour that would love to match with a brown tobocco skirt or even a purple one.
Making the choice of purchasing those three beauties was a hard one, and I would probably back for some other colours as well, and at least one other elegant black sparkling pair too. Because, why not? It is the season when making presents is a way to reward yourself for the hard work done the rest of the year. And me, as you, I fully deserve it!

5 Blue Outfits from ZARA. And a flowerly bonus

Blue is my favourite colour that I am wearing as a makeup, bag, shoes...everything possible. It is the colour that reminds me the clear summer sky and the hope and, in general, that also good things happen to good people too. I do not have any complexes to wear it all round the year, but particularly in the summer, it is the best outfit colour choice. On a research visit at the big ZARA store in Berlin, close to the iconic KaDeWe, I noticed the following blue beauties:

A very simple stripped dress, that reminds me of gardening parties. Simple yet feminine cut, easy to match and to wear. The local price is 49.85.

A blue leather jacket makes a very elegant statement. You do not have to read a motorbike, but to wear it with elegance and lady-like attitude. It looks like jeans but it is more elegat than that. Available for 49.95 EUR.

Either you pack for a long beach weekend or you need an outfit for an evening in town, this printed dress is too interesting not to consider as an important item of your luggage. The purchase price is 39.95.

This blouse took my heart away. First, the colour, then, the cut, and the possibility of oh, so many combinations with skirts and shoes and bags. It costs 39.95 EUR.

The beauty of blue can go even much further: inequal blouse with long sleeves, but made of a material that suits even the much warmer seasons. Recommended for work, special meetings or just in one of those moments when you want to show yourself how much you care about you, you and only you. It costs 39.95 EUR.

And here are my bonus discoveries, two beautiful flowerly-print dresses: elegant, simple, with an inspired choice of colours, that can be weared all round the day and on many occasions. The prices for both are 49.95 EUR.

This medium length dress brings joy and happiness. Can be weared with a pair of jeans and any style of shoes, from simple to very high heels. As a bag, I will rather wear a mono-vivid colour clutch.

This second dress is more serious and may bring some mystery for the long summer evenings. Add some black shoes and some long earrings and success is your middle name!

What about you, blue lover reader? What are your main summer finds?  

Statement bags by Vivienne Westwood

The rebellious and innovative dame of the English fashion, Vivienne Westwood ask women to dare. To dare being themselves, playful yet determined to state who they are. Without any excuse for their choices and ways of life. 

From elegant clutches to big bags for the business ladies, everything can be matched to different occasions and outfits and even moods. I am thinking particularly about the variations of colours. This sweet lily clutch for instance, is the best choice for a Romantic mood, isn't it?

The classical Derby cross classic variants are there, with prices that start from around 125 till up to 500. However, it is an investment in brands that last and quality. And a strong statement too. 

As in everything signed by Vivienne Westwood, the English precision and the French perfectionism. Everything is a work in permanent processs as it should happen with our lives. 

The bags are available at the ground level of Galeries Lafayette Berlin. 

My newest colourful love: 2 in 1 Green Lamarthe handbag

It was just another summer day, when I entered Galeries Lafayette Berlin to kill a bit of time and have a look at the newest models of bags, hats and maybe for some blogging inspiration. Then, I saw this beautiful Lamarthe bag. So beautiful that I spent more time than scheduled in admiration.

Maybe the colour is a big too strong, but with a simple summer outfit - yellow or pink salmon or light brown/beige, or if bold enough, some orange, it brings a lot of happiness. As for the shows, if there are matchable green shows, why not, otherwise, some beige or yellow sandals can be recommended as well. The bag is spacious enough for a lot of important items, from your tablet to your phone, a make-up set, your purse and even a kindle. Only be careful not to overload it as it is hand-carried. 

It is made of quality leather and the interior is coated with quality silk. 

Mostly a daytime accessory, when folded it can easily be carried on for an evening party. This multi-functional quality is an important asset and if you can buy it on sales - right now the price goes around 150 EUR. - it's a very serious investment. As it is summer, don't forget to wear a light make-up!

Spring shoes with air de Provence

Now, that I am sure that the good weather is here, and no more rains in sight for the next week, or so, it was about time to get my matched shoes. This time, I am fully in line with my travel dreams, a little bit of Provence, a little bit of elegance yet some comfort shoes that will not bother me if I am set to walk for a long time. They are good for long walks in town, easy to match with some spring outfits, and some white or colourful bags. 

I can't wait to wear them!
