Can you believe that it’s February? Well, I am very excited and bursting with motivation, having started the new year off with a scroll of ideas and new ventures, some of which that I have prepared to share with you. Stay tuned for even more style treats in the works. But, until then, here’s a little inspiration to help you enjoy your fantastic Friday, sleeping-in Saturday, and your savoury Sunday moments!
Pssst … did you hear? There’s talk about spring being near … right, at least on the runway!
I adore chunky knitwear, layering, and have actually enjoyed winter for the most part, but here are two pieces, amongst many others that have me becoming slightly distracted from colder climates. Print, sheers, and contrast seemed to catch my eye regardless who designed the garments.

LIFE: Drink up!

If you’ve been swamped with work, life, or simply worrying in general, STOP! We must not get overwhelmed with things that we cannot change, of course this is easier said than done. However, what you can change is your environment. Take a long walk. Find a peaceful spot to sit, go to the park, bring your favourite tunes or a sketchbook, and take a d-e-e-p breath inhaling your gigantic load. Now, exhale it all out so that you can see, feel, and think with a clear mind. Repeat if necessary.
BEAUTY & FASHION
Although everyone is overjoyed and anxious about the Rihanna/River Island or Prabal Gurung/Target collaboration, I was firstly excited about new makeup colours! But, don’t get me wrong, I will likely be at least giving casual glances over Team RiRi and Team PG as well later on. Which one are you most excited about, if any?

Lancome’s spring 2013 In Love collection features a charming palette of the romance of rosy hues, tones of tropical fruit emitting peach tints, and even a turquoise colour that will have you smiling at your computer screen before buying! There’s also tinted lip balm and a “Dewy Mist” that’s suppose to help you achieve a beaming complextion. Spring is in the air, and even though I cannot feel it I still get incredibly animated and delighted when I see happy hues of pastel and teal … sometimes with yellow as well!
FOOD

Lastly, but certainly not least of the thoughts for today, here’s the Friday food choice. There’s nothing like a nice homemade sandwich. Recently, we have been cooking old favourites and diving into family recipes. Aside from that, one thing that’s delicious and always easy to make is this: aubergine and grilled vegetables, with roasted peppers. The inside ingredients of a sandwich is important, yes, but you know what’s even more essential? The bread that it goes on! Inferior bread can ruin a beautiful culinary medley.
Happy weekend!
Aww, Dankeschön, ja, diese Designer sind wirklich meine favoriten. x /M 🙂
Thanks! xo
I love bundling up and layering most days so I understand! Thanks for your comment Cee. x
Exactly, great bread is everything, haha! Mouret had pretty a few great contrasted and wonderfully bold pieces that I loved. Thanks!
Yes, Erdem has been a long time favourite of mine as well … but yes, the price is a bit too steep for me! 🙂
Yes, do make it! It's so easy and very delicious!
Yes, I am not a fan of too hot of weather. Hope your week has started off great! 🙂
I can't believe February is here… Have a great month!
I'm excited to wear certain things as it gets warmer but I'm still dreading the hottest days. Ugh! Thank God for dresses and chiffon!
SO excited for spring clothes and spring weather! That sandwich looks delish 🙂

I absolutely adore Erdem's SS13 collection. If only I could actually afford one of his designs…
Your grilled aubergine and red pepper sandwich looks delicious – not unlike the lunches I make myself early every morning for college. My friends are often envious when they compare their canteen-bought lunches with mine!
omg!!! lurvn your post, i wrote something similar lol, great minds think alike 🙂 i love that red pencil skirt, that's hot!!!

I've been seeing the Lancome ads as well and the river island and rihanna collab is going to be out of this world. Too bad river island is not availalbe in the uS!
Nice post!! :)!! Visit http://www.urbanfashionstylee.blogspot.mx and check my new post!!
You took the words right out of my mouth when it came to the food part. It is all about the bread, the right bread can make the difference. I also love the Roland Mouret shot you posted :-).
Das ist ein schöner Post 🙂 Die Fashion Inspirationen sind ganz toll! Ich liebe Erdem und Roland Mouret! Beide sind großartige Designer! Und so ein Vegetable-Sandwich wäre jetzt toll <3

Hi dear, I love the second look! have a great weekend! kisses chris
So many pretties. Thanks for reminding me to slow down and relax. <3
Happy weekend doll, I hope it's been going lovely so far!! That food looks amazing, love sandwiches like that 🙂 I am ready for spring wear, I was outside today as it was sunny and dry. The wind is still cold, but it couldn't stop me from enjoying it. Here's hoping it will continue to get better for everyone coming out of winter :)Love that first outfit, stunning! xox
I actually prefer winter clothes to summer ones, but as soon as February rolls around, I can't help but start looking at the runways and feeling anxious for spring. That Erdem dress – like all of their pieces! – has me swooning 🙂
xox,
Cee
