Pinteresting.


I will not get addicted to Pinterest. I will not get addicted to Pinterest. I will not get addicted to Pinterest. I have to repeat that to myself even while writing this post, let alone while looking for and pinning inspirational images from all around the web. First I avoided joining this social media for a long time because I was aware of how overwhelming and time consuming it can be, but at the same time I knew it was a great additional way to promote my blog so I eventually started using it solely for my blog photos. Little by little, my pins and boards were constantly growing in number and their content was becoming more versatile and creative. And I'm not even sorry! I wanted to share some of my favorite boards I hope you will interesting and pinning worthy too (see my profile here).


Because we are all in a search for a new source of fashion inspiration. It may hold probably a fraction of inspirational looks 
you would normally find in folders on my computer, but this board is a perfect example of my style and the outfits I would 
immediately wear from head to toe. See it here.



I am obsessed with just about any flatlay concept of photography, but the Virgo in me is always leaning towards the neatest and the most perfectly organized and color coordinated ones. From jewellery and clothing, make up and beauty products, to magazines and food. And anything in between here.



As a morning person I never underestimate the importance of the first meal of the day and the sort of ritual its preparation 
and consummation deserves to be. Although I keep my breakfasts the simplest and healthiest as possible, I do like to indulge 
every now and then, at least in the form of Pinterest photos. Coffee, pastries and fresh berries - how could you skip these? 
See all the deliciousness here.



Neither Instagram or Pinterest can go without macarons, right? I still can't get enough of the prettiness and photogenic of these delicious french pastries (see my favorite photos here) and the photos of ice cream cone macarons are my latest obsession.

Since I still consider myself new to Pinterest, I would love you to share links to your accounts as well as 
the recommendations of good inspirational board to follow. But I will not get addicted to Pinterest. 
And if I repeat it often enough I will start to believe it.

Spring on my nails: Lilacism.

Photo by me.

Soft peaches, blues, mints, yellows or lilacs - it's these pretty pastels that pop into our minds when we think "spring". Yes, pastels will always be popular this for this time of the year, but recently they have been slightly revamped and modernized and are now little brighter and more saturated. Since the easiest way to incorporate pastels in the everyday looks is painting the nails in these shades, I thought of sharing some of my most worn nail polishes of this season.

The first shade in the row is the one I actually have on my fingertips as I'm typing this post and that is Lilacism by Essie. Essie is my favorite nail polish brand, but I have to admit that my love for bold white Blanc (last worn here) pretty much gets in the way of trying out and wearing other colors. But I love how subtle, elegant and feminine Lilacism is with its light dusty lilac color and blue undertones. And how it gives a perfect opaque coverage with two coats applied.

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, so let me know do you opt for
pastel nail polishes and what are your favorite ones. Have you worn Lilacism too?
Hope you are having a nice weekend!

Focus on: the bold white shoes.


Black pumps will always be a classic piece and my to-go choice no matter the season, but it's actually the completely opposite shoe color both me and the fashion scene are obsessing about. The bold white shoes are one of the best shoe trends of Spring 2014! If the thought of styling these sounds a little scary to you, rest assured there is a plenty of ways to incorporate them into your own style: adding a chunky white heels to make a neutral outfit stand out, opting for a classic stiletto to perfectly complement and make any dress look more modern and sophisticated, or pairing a strappy sandal with a boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt. Whatever you go for, the white shoes will add an essence of glamour to any outfit.

When it comes to my shoe closet, the latest addition was this basic pair from Bershka (here), but they definitely won't be the last 
as I already got my eyes on these, these and these.

Are you stepping out this season in white shoes? Let me hear your thoughts about this trend in the comments below!

Instalove.


Spring has sprung on my Instagram feed, and all these blossoming city parks and streets, bouquets of fresh flowers and pastel colored outfits have made it more charming and prettier than ever. And more difficult for me to choose my favorites for a new Instalove post! For those of you who are not familiar with this type of post on my blog, Instalove is dedicated to some wonderful and talented people who have turned Instagram photos into an art form. I'm sure you will like them as much as I do, so scroll down to see who my April picks are.



@mrpaddingtonbear - Lifestyle photography - checked. Food and product styling - checked. 
Love for all things elegant, timeless and French - checked. Two adorable British Shorthair cats - checked. 
Instagram feed of this Melbourne based freelance photographer tick all the boxes.



@kerriehessillustration - With references such as Chanel, Kate Spade New York, Luis Vuitton; and with her work featured in Vogue and Harper's Bazar, Kerrie's feed is a must follow. If you love fashion illustration, Kerrie will share her inspirations with you and give you a little insight of how she creates them. And any creative process involving coffee and macarons from Ladurée definitely has my attention.



@eleosebastiani - Eleonora is an international photographer based in Italy. Perfectly capturing "la vita e bella" 
feel in Milan, or "oh la la" detail in Paris, her photos are as beautiful as she is.



@annawithlove - How cute are these coffee mugs and stationary this talented and creative photographer 
surrounds herself with? I want it all and I want it now!



@daramuscat - Breakfast sets and flatlays lover such as myself had to start following the feed of this 
jewellery designer and blogger.


As always, I would love to hear your thoughts and read some of your favorite accounts in the comments below!
