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. 

10 products from IKEA to decorate your house this spring

I am not a very big supporter of IKEA furniture because it makes every house look the same plus - and this is my biggest impediment, in fact - you need to build up everything which for a clumsy kind of girl like me is not the happiest life scenario. I am always happy and ready to change and two weeks ago I made a short visit to the Sudkreuz IKEA in Berlin, looking for a convenient baby bad - which I haven't find it - and ending up purchasing funny toys and taking pictures of products for a next interior design project.

Here are my ten products that can make your house much colourful and modern. In most cases, the prices are medium. Significant discounts are still available in the next days.

 This chair has the colours and airs of the rebel 1970s, and can fit either a normal working desk or the corner of a room. Regardless of how often you plan to use it it is very comfortable. It can be purchased for 99 Euro.

 This metal pink desk was love at first sight. It is very big, especially for someone like me who adores to have more than 10 books and as many notebooks spread around, plus computer and tablet and phone and so on and so on. It has the perfect dimensions of 110x65 cm and can be purchased for only 59 Euro.

The various colourful glassware bring the spring on your table and makes you enjoy with a bigger appetite the healthy spring meals. Either you want to eat indoors or in the garden, the prices are convenient enough - from 3.49 to 10 Euro - for helping you to have everything you need on the table.

Talking about table, creating a pleasant ambiance is a good company for the meal, either if you eat alone or with the family. This spectacular looking and easy to set up lamp is available for only 44.99 Euro.

I am a supporter of colourful furniture and this brownish red small closet is on my list of new furniture. The only impediment is that the kid willl be soon big enough to check the content. It can be used for the bedroom or in the lobby and even in the kitchen. As for now, it costs 79 Euro.

This fluffy bed lamp is not exactly my style but it offers a good lightning in case you want to keep reading something. It is very light and can easily suit any style and space. It costs only 29.99 Euro. 

This 107x10 shoes closet is something I told myself to buy for a long time. It is practical, with a modern look and can fit easily everywhere. It can be purchased for only 109 Euro.

With a small baby in the house, one have to think seriously about the future about how to collect all the tempting items out of sight and touch. A special toilet closet hard to open and quite elegant is what I need in the future. At a very low price of 24.99 Euro.

Out of all the products on the list, this Persian carpet is the most expensive - 279 Euro - so you better save a bit for two months and you can have it. Handmade, it suits especially Romantic interiors with vivid colours. 

I am not a tall person and once in a while I need some help for reaching some higher spaces in the house. This 50 cm. small stair looks not bad and cheap and can be easily moved from a location to another. It is also quite stable. It costs only 12.99

What about you? What is on your top 10 Spring shopping list?

Cheap or expensive? What products are the best for you?

Before I am planning what I have to write for the week, I am trying to include various beauty products, including creams, perfumes or make-up. In most cases, I purchase these products from the local DM and Rossmann store in Berlin, which always offer various temptations at a very good price. 

The products that I stuck in my closet vary, from high-end expensive ones to affordable investments for the daily care. For instance, I am using right now make-up removal wet napkins from Balea for less than 1 Euro. As I used for a long time various creams, I may say that I am very happy with the results of the wet napkins because not only clean the traces of make up but also offer a proper hydration to my skin. 

For a long time, I used to think that only expensive products are good for the skin. When it comes to make it, it actually works in many cases, but when it comes to skin care, nowadays there are many quality affordable options, at least when it comes to the German market. As I am very careful about my skin, before I buy a product I reading the ingredients and the description in order to be sure that it is worth to try it. My experience with both categories of products is that it happens to invest in very expensive products that disappointed me greatly while small investments brought me a lot of advantages. As a rule, I prefer to use known brands, with a well established reputation, including in the field of medical and scientific research.

On this blog, I will always keep posting product recommendations and reviews of products that I tested and used myself, regardless of their price. Proved quality is what matters for me. As I only occasionally do luxury reviews, most of the products introduced on this blog usually belong to the medium priced category. As usual, I am always curious to discover new brands and products but be sure that the review will always reflect my direct experience.
