Quick Outfit post: The Geometric dress

Hello lovelies,
One day left for the month of August and then we'll begin the month of September, which is my favorite month. My birthday is the 30th of September so of course I celebrate my birthday every day of the month! (ha!)
In the meantime, here is the outfit I wore today:


I was going for a simple look so I didn't wear any extravagant bracelets or necklaces because I felt that my dress was already too showy for daylight. So to tone it down, I avoided any extra stuffs!

Perfumerie: Ways to organize your perfumes

Hello Lovelies, 
Yesterday as I was looking for new ideas to re-arrange my apartment, I found interesting ways of organizing perfumes and I decided I should share them with you.

I love the above idea of putting all the perfumes on a shell in the bathroom and I think it is very practical and a space saver for those who have dozens of perfumes.
 This is how I organize my perfumes, some are on an old plate and others are on the shelf on top of my mirror



This is another way how I organize my perfumes but of course the candles are always, ok usually off (Fire hazard!)
Another way on how you can organize your perfumes
This is the old way I used to organize my perfumes but not anymore!

Since we should always give credit to the owner of the photos we use, here are the links to the sites where I found some of these photos: Photo 1 | Photo 3 | Photo 4 | Photo 5 (couldn't find the link :( )

Thanks for reading and hope I inspired you with this post,
Have a great day Lovely!

Outfit of yesterday: Sharing my Peplum Love

"Don't be afraid to wear yourself; Exhaust your imagination and trust your sense of style because what's your entourage see as odd today might be seen as trendy by the world of tomorrow." - J.N. 

Hello Lovelies,
I have always been a peplum girl! I think peplum clothing items add a classy feel to whatever you decide to pair them with. 


Yesterday I decided to wear my gold/bronze peplum top with shorts and oxford shoes. I went for this look because I wanted to be at my ease since I was going to move around a lot and I wasn't feeling like wearing just casual clothes because I had a date (with just a friend, ha!) later in the evening.



Although my top was already very goldish bronze and by itself, it would have been a good piece of accessory, I accessorized my outfit with a lot of bracelets because, first all, I love accessories and I feel kind of naked when I'm not wearing any and because I wanted to have something that would match my shoes (white necklace and white bracelets). I do really think that the more the better when it comes to accessories! If I had to change something about the outfit though, it would be the earrings. I would go for smaller ones, but hey it's not that bad! (ha!)

TRAVEL: Let's Go to Sylvan Beach!

"Let's go to the beach, each, let's go get away. They say what they gonna say." Starships by Nicki Minaj 
Hello Lovelies,
Living Upstate New York doesn't mean, never going to the beach and get away! Although, there is no ocean around (of course), there are still several lakes with beautiful beaches for everyone to enjoy! One of my favorite is Sylvan beach.
[Photos]: Left (nowadays) | Right-Top (1920's) | Right-Bottom (1950's)

Sylvan beach is actually a small village (a small population of approximately 900) in Oneida county, New York, USA, more specifically in the western end of the town of Vienna. The beach side is adjacent to the Erie canal and on the east shore of Oneida Lake (wiki!)

Sometimes, it's hard to find what to do here Upstate New York but there are a lot of activities to do at Sylvan Beach:

  
1. Go to the Sylvan Beach Amusement park | 2. Have fun at Turning Stone Casino & Resort (The nightclub Lava is the place to be on Fri & Sat)| 3. Visit Fort Rickey children's discovery zoo | 4. Or take a trip to the Erie Canal

 I love the Farmers Market (happens every Fri)! 
 





 
{Address: 112 Bridge, Sylvan Beach, NY, 13157}

Did you go to the beach this summer? I would love to see your pictures, so leave me a comment and a link to your 'beach' post!

Outfit of the Day: How I wear my peach lace skirt with a black&white shirt

"Rest when you weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work." - Ralph Marston
Hello Lovelies,
I've been busy with the arrival of my friend from Finland, who came to visit me for 5 days, but now I'm back to blogging and I have many pictures of my outfits I have been wearing these past couple of days!
 


I wore this outfit when we had a girl night out. The skirt was a little bit too short but I love it so I couldn't resist to wear it! The heels are new and I thought they would be hard to walk in them because they were a little bit tight but they were very comfortable. Ladies, You know that feeling you have when you are walking in sandals and you feel that your feet are swimming sliding up and down in the shoes and it start hurting the bottom of your feet; well I didn't get that feeling!



[Wearing]: Charlotte Russe peach lace skirt | Forever 21 black and white shirt | H&M accessories | Aldo black patent croco clutch bag (old!) | black & gold Socialite heels by Shoedazzle (very confortable!)




I'm seriously starting to get converted to a shoedazzle fan!
Lots of Love,

Friends Reunion


Hello Lovelies,
I'm so happy right now, my friend from Finland, Maria, came to visit me and she is staying for 5 days! YAY! She's been with me since Wednesday the 15th and I had forgotten how fun it is to be a tourist in your own city, taking pictures of everything and everywhere, shopping and eating like there's no tomorrow! ha! 
It seriously feels like I'm also on vacation and I have traveled to this exotic, wonderful place where everything, even the stones, is worth taking a picture of.

DAY 1-2
All met in Utica (UC) and still together!
DAY 3-4
There's no such thing as a girls vacation without a little bit of Cosmo & cuticle treatment?!

Lots of Love Lovelies,
Thanks for reading !

What to wear when it's raining

It has been raining a lot these days, here, Upstate NY, and I just saw (I mean right now) on the news that there is a storm happening in a small city like 1h far from where I live.



Pretty soon it's going to get cold, then colder and then...W-I-N-T-E-R!! (I get depressed every time I think about that!)



Anyways, in the meantime, I'll be caring an umbrella and a coat everywhere I go!


[Wearing]: Tan Jacket (old!) | Nine West black wedges | Black and white Polka dot dress | Orange and white polka dot scarf |  Faux croco snap frame shoulder bag (wore here)


P.S. I know people usually say that if you're wearing two prints, it's better that they'd be of different size so the outfit is not too overwhelming, but I wanted to wear both my scarf and my dress at the same time, so I tamed the outfit down by wearing a solid color (Jacket + belt) and a simple bag.

Lots of Love Lovelies,
Have a nice day :)

Mint Lace-Up booties with a maxi dress


Hello Lovelies,
I am finally addicted to these lace-up leatherette platform booties and I especially like them in Mint. I know I'm very late and I don't know why it took me so long! They are so comfortable and stylish and they do go well with almost all my outfits. Anyways, I just love them!
