You in those little high waisted shorts..

 

 This song has been stuck in my mind for a very long time and naturally when I started to make this post, certain lyrics from it came to my mind - it feels like, to me, it has turned into this Summer's hymn. I remember two Summers ago, Lana del Rey's "Summertime sadness" became my ultimate favorite song of that season. And I love to obsess over a song.

 Leaving music aside, you might have noticed on my Facebook page how excited I was to find this little pair of shorts in a thrift shop; the fact is, I have been searching for the right kind of denim shorts with a high waist just to make my legs look infinitely long (I do so love that effect) for quite some time and I was never satisfied. Not to mention the ridiculous prices I had to pay for such little fabric - I mean..to cost as much as a long pair of jeans? - that seems absurd. So I payed less than 1 euro for these and boy, do I feel devilishly happy or what?

 

Wearing: thrifted shorts, H&M top, Stradivarius bracelets, Sheinside earrings, thrifted sandals and bag.

Happy Friday guys! 

I am having a three-day weekend and it feels sooooo goood! (muahahaha!)

Escapist

escapism

/ɪˈskeɪpɪzəm/

noun

1. an inclination to or habit of retreating from unpleasant or unacceptable reality, as through diversion or fantasy

Told you I need a getaway from the city didn't I?

Well, I am not in search of a fantastic scenario, I can play video games for that, but I am not that fond of them. Or I could try to daydream until I lose my mind to frustration.

But instead I go to little places of wilderness and think about life during a wonderful sunset.

And planning a vacation. A real one. One that does not include unicorns or mermaids (although that would be fun)..

I am so fond of this cute little top I got from TBDress recently! I mean, I just love the print and the flowy style, just perfect for insanely hot days and of course what else than floral print? That will never change.

Wearing: Stradivarius shorts, top from HERE, vintage bag, random brand bracelets, Zara sandals.

How have I not heard of or seen New Zealand beauty, Jessica Clarke before? It's just not fair for someone to be this gorgeous! Love her model-off-duty look, especially her Isabel Marant boots.

FOREVER FAVORITE | JUST FEMALE

As you guys probably know by now, I'm a huge fan of Just Female. Their collections are always the perfect mix of clean and minimal with an effortless edge.

ps- How great are those Saint Laurent-inspired biker boots with the black dress?

FALL MIDRIFF

How great is this look on Zina?! Perfect for spring, summer and even fall. One of the best ways to transition a midriff-baring look into the cooler months, is by adding an oversized blazer.

How does Miroslava Duma manage to look this cute 24/7?! She had me at denim and stripes, but that Chanel jacket and bag, the cool mix of accessories and those Prada platform sandals bring it to a whole other level. Really love when a Chanel jacket is styled with a casual chic look.
