After a long absence with full time concentration on something new and exciting for me it was about time to reveal what I've been up to in this last month.

As much as I would love to, this is not about designing clothes as I used to do, but its something it seams that I never get enough myself and always catches my eyes with their sparkling tempting bits ending up joining my collection that keeps growing every day.
So I challenged myself and I took another journey to express my creativity and I started making jewellery.

After putting together bits and pieces with a few little things left to arrange, a few of my designs will be added to a new SHOP page.

I'm obsessed with crystals, natural semiprecious stones, shells, beads or metal work.
Each one will be slightly different as the stones are free shaped in different sizes and for now only one or 2 pieces will be available for sale.
I will added some jewellery finds, pieces that I found and they will be added to the shop as well that I haven't made myself.

New stuff will be added in March.

The actual page will be up running soon and the old page for my shopping picks will be moved to Simona's Picks . I know some of you love browsing my favourite shopping picks so I'll keep it.

Where did January go?! Cool shopping finds!

2013-01-22T00:05:00.001Z

I found these 2 beautiful dresses and I bite my hands right now not to get them, I have to put my priorities first and its hard work when you love something and you die to wear it.

Its been almost a month since my last post, sorry about that, I've been working on a project and I had my mind elsewhere but I hope is coming to an end soon. I won't talk much about it before its finished but I can only say it's something I wanted to do for so long and I just needed that big jump and go for it.
2013 came for me with a change and I hope it brings you something fun and exciting that you wish for! :)

Merry Christmas!

Being comfortable is important but finding something to suit you as well and look like you put a bit of effort can be a battle. My "comfy" winner this winter must be these sneakers that I got online by pure curiosity from House of Fraser and I loved them straight away.
Someone came with a great idea to put a stripe into that black velvet and turn these trousers sporty, Mango has a plain pair too with front splits which I adore and they are more affordable. I'm into all that leg details lately, ankle zips and splits and I found the perfect pair of jeans to prove it, at least that's what I think. :)
The weather has been terrible this past week so I was unable to take any photos and post anything new but hopefully its getting better.

Loose leather pants Mania caught us all like a bad, bad flu. If you are not into them by now I admire your "immunity" and if you are holding it in, oh man you have self control! But after all.. its just another pair of trousers and not everyone's cup of tea but if you haven't tried any yet you should, you might be surprised.
I'm a big fan of this pair, sadly I can't give you a link as I can't find them anywhere for sale. (similar Mango, with some print at ASOS, Juicy Couture)
Today I wore them with a plain black vest and this timeless striped shirt, I like the combo myself and black and white should never go wrong, right? :)

Have a great weekend everyone and million hugs and thanks for all your comments, they are fun to read and you make me smile a lot! Just to let you know that I appreciate your support! x
