For the love of Shabby apples, I`m in Love!

~ ~
What started as an ordinary Wednesday turned to be quite an inspiring day. I was lucky enough to have one of those days at work, which resulted in findings of all kinds, and through out the whole blogosphere. Thank you for that dear interned (an universe). I am truly blessed.

So, what did I find?, you are probably wondering. OK, I will share in a moment. But, pics first. Its no wonder they say picture is worth 1000 words.


This is a photo from one of Shabby apples vintage inspired collection called a Mad hatter. The collection is inspired by romance, fairy tales and obviously Alice in wonderland. the inspiration resulted in fabulous pieces from skirts and blouses to dresses and hats, hence the Mad hatter. A true ode to a tale, they had me at first madness and this is what I picked for myself to buy, when my wallet comes back from the dead, this wonderful dress in (one and only) mint color.

If you could, what would you pick from this lovely vintage wonderland?

Our next stop goes all the way to another magical place, Rome, Italy. It makes me think of Audrey Hepburn and Holiday in Rome.
Simple and elegant, chic and classic this collection would be perfect for any occasion. Most of them I would wear to work and enjoy the famouos italian vibe of chic and style. The only thing missing would be this cute little red vespa. For my trip to lovely and romantic Rome I would pick this yellow (mellow) Bellissima dress (if only I was a blonde!!). Ciao bella!

What would you wear on a romantic night out in a true italian restaurant?

Since we are skipping places (and realities), on this fahionable journey of ours, why don`t we skip some eras all the way to 1965! Do you love retro? I adore retro. vintage? retro? you`ve got it!
Our next stop is Shabby apples collection simply called 65. I can totally picture myself wearing this lovely white dress with teal polka dotts, with gloves and cat eye shades with my hair in the wind... what a joyride! don`t you agree? Oh, so many combinations and outfits roam my mind this very moment.

How would you dress for your very own retro cadillac ride to a very retro picnic?

In the light of current era we are enjoying, and with summer on our dorsteps, I would need a swimsuit, although I can`t see myself going anywhere near water with all this fabulosity  - the hair the make up... This is a tough one. So many wonderful designs, which one to choose? But then again, why only one? I pick you, you, you and you :)



The collection that shows my true inner retro is called Twin palms and is the one I really like the most. It captures the true beauty and chic in fashion in that era. I like the color choices and how designs and cuts emphesize womans beauty and elegance. The collection captured true retro glamour and would like to buy - everything! But as everyting in life, there are favorites: this, this and this :) The biggest conclusion of this little adventure through time and space was: I need to go blonde.

Where (and/or what occasion) would you wear this lovely tiffany-blue chiffon dress with white polkadotts?


Since there are so so many amazing collections, if I were to include and present them all (which I would be glad, because they really are beyond amazing) this post would be almost infinately long.

For more information and all collections that didn`t made the cut visit Shabby apple and go nuts.

DISCLAIMER: I think this one is important. Every day I see so many ramblings about what bloggers do when it comes to brands, and advertising, sponsor posts and stuff.

This is not a sponsored post. I just found an interesting brand I feel conected to and wanted to share this with my readers and everyone who wants to know me and my style a little better. I DON`T get compensated in any way for writing and linking this brand.

Feel free to visit on your own terms. I got bedazeld and amazed and so excited with their designs and to be honest totally head over heels in love. The result is this post. I hope you can see why :)

flowers and peplum style challenge

~ ~
So, I have decided just a second ago (and forgot the idea under that very second) while browsing through The chic street blog, that in the near future I will do the unthinkable - try out floral pants (that would be in fact THE first floral print item in my closet ever!- I know, I have been living in the dark ages of trend and style) and that peplum everyone is talking about.



Usually I am not that trend driven when it comes to fashion, buying trendy (usually only to wear for that one season) items is something reserved for really special items, that I have envisioned in my head before they even became a trendy item and that I see me wearing for another season or two no matter the laws of trends. These kinds of clothes appear so rare. For example, I have welcomed this years mint craze with my arms wide open. why? Not because I am a fashion prophet who had visions of mint colored items for many months before, but because I really really like that shade. Since that particular color wasn`t that present in collections offered in high-street stores, and my sewing skills are fairly limited (for now) the only thing for me left was to go crazy when this trend hit the stores. And to be honest I didn`t go crazy, I just bought a pair of skinny pants from Stradivarius. But I am still dreaming about that texture-knit mint sweater from Asos.



Why the sudden change in my modus operandi? Well maybe it is due to drought that is lasting for last several months, or in fact I am becoming bolder in my fashion choices and rather than "hiding" behind my usual pattern pallete (there isn`t one. I think that I don`t own a single patterned or printed item at all), this spring I will gather up the curage and go nuts.

I am a bit worried that in the end these items will end up for sale (as a matter of a fact I am thinking of cleaning my closet, lots of stuff I don`t wear at all, or have bought and never even tried it in public, so that will be a fun project too) or worse, thrown in some dark corner of my closet. Its like hell for clothes. But then again, this floral pant/peplum issue bugs me so much that I need to see for myself.

To wear or not to wear, that is the question!?

Or.. I could always go all the way like Tamu and combine florals on the peplum too :)


She is wearing J. Crew Fresco Floral Peplum Top and Cafe Capri Pants and Miu Miu Gingham pumps. LOVE!

Challenge accepted!

ADLR x H&M

~ ~
Anna dello Russo is the newest collaborator with (our beloved) H&M. She will be designing a collection of accessories in (my favorite combination) gold and turquoise. What can we expect - lots of bling bling, extravagance and excess. And I am totally ready for that. Unfortunately, the collection is comming to stores in October, which is, in my opinion a bit too late, because what is the best time to go gold and than summer. But all in all I am looking forward to that.

Until then, we can get in to this whole ADLR groove with this video.

For our retro wedding. Stunning, right? I am still on the quest of finding shoes for my Enzoani Danbury wedding dress.
