Intelligent fashion shopper

I don't know what you really think when you look at my outfits. I hope you are sincere when writing your comments for me, but I can't really know for sure, do I? I'm only hoping you won't see in me that girl who has a very big budget to spend on clothes, because it would be totally wrong.
I would rather you would see me as an intelligent fashion shopper. Sounds fancy, but let me explain what it really means. It means that I see an item, I see it's potential and I purchase it at a minimum price.
To prove all this, I will tell you how I came into possession of the items from the combination I'm wearing below.

Top :: Orsay, bought on sale, for less than 8 euros.

Belt :: It's 23 years old and belonged to my mother... until I took it.

Skirt :: I got it at a clothing exchange event organized with my work colleagues... I was so lucky.

Bag :: bought at a ridiculous low price from here, of course on sale.

Necklace :: local store, a bit expensive... around 12 euros.

Leather boots :: also on sale, from here.

Sunglasses :: New Yorker, of course... on sale.

So, as you can see, we can be chic with a moderate budget. We only need creativity, but that's not a problem because we have the blogosphere, a great source of inspiration. Am I right or am I right?

Ready, set, go!

I have one more day of vacation. I will get back to work on Monday with fresh forces and revived... I dare to say.

During this vacation I rested, I walked, I had fun, I cooked, I spent time with my family, I did too much shopping ... in a word ... I did everything and to be honest it would have been a shame to be otherwise.

I'm leaving you with some pictures from the New Year's Eve party and I wish you to have a week with not too many challenges.

Say hello to my new face

One of the advantages of being a blogger is that you have the chance to get free stuff from time to time. Don't resent me because of this. The work of a beginner blogger is not always the easiest.

I was very excited when I was contacted by Antonio from Firmoo.com., for a possible collaboration. The collaboration supposed that I choose my pair of glasses (vision or sun) from their site, and afterwards to write a honest opinion about them. I had the ophthalmologist prescription with all the details of diopter and distance between pupils, I filled out their form, I sent it and after that I expected them to come.

Now, because they came, I can say I like them very much, for the following reasons: they match the description on the site, they are very light, they have antireflection lenses, they have the diopter I asked for. People who knew me with my previous pair of glasses, tell me that I look better with this one. I hope they are sincere.

I admit it's somewhat difficult to choose your first pair of glasses from a website, but if it's not your first pair and you know very well what suits you best, the process is quite easy. I particularly liked and used their tool to upload a portrait photo, in order to simulate my look with different pair of glasses. Some other important details are the current dimensions of your glasses. I have a wide face and I need my glasses to be at least 13cm wide. All information related to the size of each pair of glasses is available at your disposal on Firmoo site.

But still, who are the people from Firmoo?

I found out that Firmoo (www.firmoo.com) is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store.  Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way is the ultimate goal of Firmoo, so it has always committed itself to providing customers with high-quality and fashionable eyewear at the most affordable prices.  Firmoo launched a program offering free eyewear to first-time buyers in order to make more people try Firmoo’s quality products & excellent service. Plus, it’s easy to get your free eyewear, and the delivery is pretty fast! Want to have a try? Just go to http://www.firmoo.com/free-glasses.html to get your FREE pair!

I'm looking forward to read your opinion about this look. I personally think I look like a bitchy math teacher.

ASOS dress on the way

Enthusiastic as usual, I'm showing you my, on it's way to me, love at first sight, latest acquisition:

I intend to wear this dress to my 10 year high school graduation reunion, on 12th may.
The sandals I want to wear are a, no name, also love at first sight, past acquisition:

Regarding other accessories, at this moment I don't have many ideas...
I'm thinking of wearing something red or something gold... though I'm opened to suggestions.
