In the Mirror

I recently got these Zara jeans, which I totally love. I'm so into faded denim at the moment, so I guess I will be scouting the website for some more bargains. Anything washed our, worn out or with holes is on my list!

A Winter Wonderland Fairy of a Birthday

It is the festive season and I am already in a Christmas mood, but who could blame me? The magical feel of Winter Wonderland managed to take me back to my childhood and those full of Christmas anticipation days! It was also the perfect way to celebrate mum's birthday. Acting like kids, keeping away from the 'scary' rollercoasters and drinking hot chocolate who could have given us our real age?

Time Tested Beauty Tips

The following was written by the late educator-humorist Sam Levenson. I came across this beautiful poem some time ago. Ever since, it has served me as a positive affirmation.


Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Inspirational Notes

 

A bit of an inspiration for the cold months to come. The last one is my absolute favourite. A life is for living - with all your heart, with every breath, each and every second! We make mistakes, we mess up, we end up upset and heart-broken, but it is all part of the process of growing, of finding yourself and accepting yourself the way you are. It really is that simple! So wake up, right now and appreciate the beaty around you, the beauty inside you, the beauty of this moment, RIGHT NOW! Happy November! 

Le Look du Jour

A bit of a rushed up 'photo session' dedicated to my friend who asked me to send her a photo for Elle Bulgaria. Not sure whether my improvised photos would be good enough, but worth the try if only to make my mum happy seeing me with her old fur coat. Last winter she produced this coat after I convinced her fur was back a la mode. For one she was right - it has seen better times(and lots of fun moments of me aged 6 wearing it for a school play pretending to be the scary bear). But as I told her in order to convince her to give it to me (instead of throwing it to the gypsies) - the older the better and the more sentimential value it carries - the happier it makes me feel wairing it.

Happy Halloween!

Somewhere in Oxfordshire (honestly no idea where exactly and no clue how we managed to make our way in the darkness) there was a princess and a swan. Hope you all have an enchanted and magical Halloween!
