How’s everyone’s weekend going far? After a whole week of rainy and dark, gloomy weather, I woke up to a beautiful and sunny Saturday :) . Today I wanted to show you a few new things that found their new home in my closet ;) .
I drooled over this beautiful, long Zara dress for weeks. I can’t tell you how many times I was ready to purchase it online, but changed my mind the last minute. The reason for that are the sheer side panels- even though the dress is beautiful, I was afraid that it had too much of a side-boob action going on. I finally stopped by Zara few weeks ago, tried this dress on and immediately fell in love all over again.
I also got this beautiful flower headband/crown that I thought would look nice with the dress.
These earrings, also from Zara, are something that’s totally out of my comfort zone. I’m not too big on accessories and like to keep them to a minimum, but I thought these would look cute with a high pony tail or a high-top-bun. The colors are so bright and happy-definitely something that compliments bronzed, summer skin.
This black XL clutch is something that was missing from my closet. I was looking for something like this: classic, room-y and slim at the same time, for a very long time. The clutch is from Zara (I know.. this is a Zara-heavy post, but I’ve been obsessed with that store lately).
This super adorable, tiny bag was a steal for only $15.00. Found it at Marshall’s, but the brand is Urban Expressions. I already wore this out a few times and received so many compliments. It doesn’t fit too much, maybe a phone a compact powder and keys, but sometimes that’s exactly what I need.
I know I can’t be the only who does this, but sometimes, if I like a piece of clothing bad enough, I like to buy two sets of the same item in two different colors. Well, in this case it’s four different colors, as these Express V-neck raceback camis are reversible :) . These are so easy to dress up and down, I plan on wearing thsese with jeans or shorts for a causal look or paired with a blazer and skirt or ponte pants if I want to look more dressy. They’re great to wear to the office under a nice blazer.
Also from Express are these black scuba leggings. These are the most comfortable leather-like leggings ever and also very, very flattering. They just make my legs look so slim! I love that they don’t “ride down” and I don’t have to constantly pull them up when I wear them.

Such a gorgeous collection of items, they all sum up how summer should be in perfect harmony :D
You have such flawless taste and style, I think you should be a personal shopper or something ;) I definitely want some of your inspo! <3
The mint bag is a total stunner, not surprised you got so many compliments over it… would have been surprised if you hadn't! I can imagine it brightening up any outfit, I love that the shade isn't a colour we see often, it makes the purchase all the more worthwhile! As for the dresses & camis, they are too pretty for words!! (As you can see I'm being a total saddo and getting overexcited at the sight of all these gorgeous buys ;) ) I can see the mint maxi going perfectly with your hair, and I love love LOVE the camis, especially the hot pink number ;) :D

That bag really is too cute. I really wanted something that’s small and compact because usually I like big handbags and I always carry way too much in them and sometimes it’s nice to have something small that only fits a few things but feels much more comfortable. :) I’m really in love with that dress and the color, it’s so delicate and girly, :) I’m so glad that I decided to get it!
