Samantha Pleet Spring 2014

(complete lookbook here)

This season, Samantha Pleet created a fancy short film for her spring 2014 collection, titled “arcadia” and was inspired by stories from darwin’s journals. It's always inspiring when there's a story behind a designer's work! A lot of tropical (or not) vacation vibes, just to set the mood for summer! The film was directed by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Maximilla Lukas, starring among others Emily Theobald and Hannah Metz, Carlen Altman, narrated by Tennessee Thomas. Check the Fall 2014 film as well, it's even prettier!

Lost between autumn and spring

I try to find my routine in between cold and warm days, days full and empty, drinking lots of coffee and trying to find inspiration in new things. There are days when I feel like I'm only really living in my head and that's when I want to figure ways to do more. I should probably find more ways of being creative, more photography, visit the always-dissapointing library for something new to read, start exercising or take short trips with friends or my boyfriend. I finally found an internship (starts on April!) and I want to take the job as a motivation to start all these!

A gift dress

Remember the time turner post? I got this lovely dress along with the necklace, gifts from the great guys at dresslily.com! I loved the fact that the neckline kinda resembles a sailor collar (or is it only me???) and I really needed a simple everyday black dress! I've bought from various asian online shops and this dress' quality is just fine, similar to Zara or Asos, not like some pour-fabric-one-layer-9-dollar dresses you get by many asian shops. (Boots from sammydress, cardigan from Pull & Bear.)

Back in time

"I mark the hours, every one, Nor have I yet outrun the Sun.
My use and value, unto you, Are gauged by what you have to do."

Can I be so excited about a piece of jewellery so much? Yes I can! It's not a plain piece of jewellery - even if it's only a cheap replica - but Hermione's time turner from Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban! I've been eyeing this in the Warnes Bros website but I couldn't afford it now, so even if this rusts in 1 month, it's still good enough for me!

Both the dress and necklace I got from dresslily.com who were kind enough to offer me freebies! That dress is just gorgeous, I'll make another post with it soon! 

Worn / Sunny February

I spent the whole day yesterday with my sister on her day off work. It was so warm as if spring is already here and the harbor was full of people as happens on sunny days. We had coffee, walked all around the center and ate seafood in a small traditional tavern!

I got this denim skirt as a gift from Choies, and I've been meaning to take some photos for days. Love the vintage-y look of it - only wishing it was a little lighter in color but denim lightens with washing anyway!



About those sunglasses, I got them from Modcloth but I never felt bold enough to wear them, they're very retro cat-eye and I imagine they will be better for summer..!
