>> HI and welcome back,
I have 3 words for you:
NON, BEAUTY, FAVOURITES!
As I announced in my previous video
starting from this month
I decided to divide the favourite serie videos
Into 2 categories:
BEAUTY and NON BEAUTY,
in order not to bore you with too many suggestions
and double the fun.
So, if you are looking for
fashion, shoes, accessories, books and what not
don't move and make yourself comfotable
because I've got plenty of suggestions for you.
If on the other hand you are looking for
beauty, make up, skin care, nailpolishes and whatsoever...
click right here on my face
and you'll be magically teleported to the dedicated video.
Are you still here?
Sweet, now we can go on!
The first item from this month fashion section
it's...tadà! The dress I'm wearing!
I instantly fell in love with it
as soon as I saw it on my favourite web store, Modcloth.
If you've been watching my videos before
you already know how much I'm obsessed by this american site
full of lovely clothes with a sligthly retrò look like this one.
I particularly love the cut
which is in the 50ies style,
the heart shaped décolleté, but most of all
the fabric pattern with these cute ladybugs
in bright and summer colours like red, white and black.
I'll show you a picture so that you can see better how it looks.
As you can see it has an heart shaped décolleté,
the fabric is a light yet structured jersey
which fits very well,
the cut inhances the curves without showing them too much
and the length is perfect.
It's a lovely day and night dress
it's fun and
I really fell in love with it!
I paid it 70 $
and if you are interested on my blog
you will find the direct link to the site.
Now let's move to 3 basic, fresh and comfortable pieces, perfect to bring on holidays.
The first one is the white T-shirt
a Summer must-have.
I chose one with an unusual cut.
Here it is!
To give you a better idea, as usual, I show you a picture.
As you can see it's a classic white t-shirt
but with an asimmetrical cut,
longer on the back and shorter on the front,
with a diagonal wrap cut
so it's a bit different from the basic ones.
The fabric is really soft
it slides on and it's a breathable jersey perfect for Summer.
I bought it on Asos and I paid it 24,00 €
By the way it's sales time on Asos now
and this same item costs 15.00 € instead of 24,00
so if you like it you better hurry up!
It's perfect to match with skinny jeans as in the picture
or with shorts if you can handle them,
or with leggins.
It's very versatile as all white t-shirts
but with an edge over.
The second basic item is a white tank top
but not an ordinary one
The pecualiarity, as you may see, is the print
If you know me you know how much I love
skulls ans skeletons
so I guess there's no need to say why I couldn't resist it,
the fabric is very light and a bit sheer,
it fits greatly,
and it adds a rock touch to every outfit.
It comes straight from Modcloth, just like the dress
and I paid it 25,00 $
The third item you've got to have in your Summer wardrobe
it's a light weight jersey *** dress.
I bought this one on Asos
in strech jersey fabric with bandeau neckline,
empire line cut
so it's perfect also for sligthly overweight people like me
it's light, it's fresh, it fits greatly and it's perfect to wear
at the beach,but not only,
I bought it on Asos for 26,00 €.
I'm sure you will find similar ones everywhere
because it's a classic summer item.
I end the fashion section with...
a bathing suit
being in Summertime I couldn't avoid including one.
I bought this one on Asos
and it's a white swinsuit
This year I went for a swin suit to switch from the typical bikini
and I liked this one because
the cut is basic and reminds me of the 50ies which I'm fond of.
I liked the white color
and it has a structured fabric which shapes very well,
it has moulded cups,
and a heart shaped neckline,
I'll show you a picture so that you can see it better.
The heart shaped neckline,
you can wear it with straps or without,
and as you can see
it has a clip clasp closure on the back
which gives more support.
The cut is perfect and it fits greatly
the fabric is structured and it doesn't become sheer once wet
and if you want you can wear it as a top too.
I bought it on Asos for 37,00 €
This month too I managed to find some cute and fun shoes
Ok, I know, I'm obsessed with animal shoes
After June panda shoes
I couldn't resist and I had to add these to my collection.
They are very comfortable and I love the red and white stripes pattern
and then how can you resist those kitties?
They are adorable!
I bought them on my favourite store, Modcloth and I paid them 48,00 $
They are comfortable, easy to match, fun...
what do you want more?
The second pair I'm going to show you
it's as peculiar as the other one even if you wouldn't say that at first sight.
Here they are!
They are laced canvas shoes
with a high plastic platform
Being in canvas they are light and suitable for Summer
and the platform add a peculiar detail
and a sligthly retrò look.
They are nice matched with jeans, shorts, dresses
they stand out neatly.
I found them on Asos
I paid them 40,00 € and...why not?
July accessories section is rich
I bought some of them and created some others
I remind you that if you are intersted in browsing my creations
you can find them both on my blog and on my facebook page
and both links are in the infobox below.
I would like to start with some of my creations
inspired by a costume party I went to at the beginning of the month
the theme was *** and sailors
I chose a pin up sailor look
and I created a serie of inspired accessories
in the mean time I'll show you some pictures of the party.
The nautical accessories are perfect for Summer
and I love them especially when I manage to add
a vintage pin up look to them
just like the ones I'm going to show you.
The first one is this big ring
with an octopus
in antique bronze
simple but lovely
and fun.
To match the ring I created
some vintage bronze earrings,
with pendants
with some tiny anchors charms
and once more they are simple, but perfect for Summer,
and they work out fine alone too, if you don't want to wear the whole parure.
Parure which is completed by
this bracelet
with glass beads in 3 colours:
white, red and blue,
and these anchors charms, the same I used for
the earrings.
Now let's move to the accessories I purchased.
The first one is this short and big necklace,
in a golden colour with turquoise enamel details and blings
placed on all the chain too.
I liked it straight away and I bought it on Asos
I think it's perfect for Summer thanks to the colour,
and also because is supershiny,
I paid it 37,00 € instead of 53,00
because I bought it during the sales.
As usual if you are interested you will find the link
to my blog and on my blog all the info on
the products I'm talking about.
The second accessory comes from
once more from Asos and it's....
a velvet hair bow
with these lovely bling details.
As you can see it has a clip
and it's perfect when
you want to add some interest to your updo
your chignon or your low ponytail
it adds a special touch, I paid it 10,60€
but it's now on sale at 6,36 € on Asos.
After June stop the books section it's back
and I'm happy about it!
This moth I'll talk about a book published in 2006
so it's not recent,
but after the debacle of the last boring reads
I decided to read again a novel I particularly liked
a funny, brightening novel and engaging at the same time.
It's...
Glenkill by Leonie Swann,
a german writer.
As I said the book was published in 2006
but it's still really enjoyable.
Glenkill it's a one of a kind crime novel.
The typical elements are all there:
There's a ***, there's a detective who investigates,
there are plots
and there will be a guilty,
as in every good crime story,
but nothing is as you could imagine.
Let's start by saying that the detective this time is.....
a sheep.
the main character is Miss Maple
the smartest sheep on the flock, maybe of the whole world
who investigates on the *** of John Glenn, its shepherd.
Yes, you heard it right,
With the lovely irish hills on the background,
helped by the whole flock, Miss Maple
will solve step by step all plots the which led to George's ***.
With a fresh and amusing writing
the author creates an engaging plot
full of unique and amazing characters,
starting with the flock members:
The smart and sagacious Miss Maple,
Mopple the Whale the young male sheep whose memory is as big as its hunger,
Sir Richifield, the old chief male sheep,
a bit deaf, but with an amazing view,
Othello, the black male sheep bought from the circus,
Cloud, the wolliest sheep of the flock
or the tiny winter lamb, the only witness of the crime.
Watching our world through the eyes of a sheep will be a fun and educational experience.
So don't miss this book
adorable even in the cover.
Glennkill by Leonie Swann
You can find it on IBS at the price of 9,26 €.
