Stripes Obssession

Good late morning, guys!

The day is grey once again and there's not much to do, besides some important errands and workout. 

So I decided to share a timeless pattern and that is a must-have in every single closet, either you're a girl or a boy - STRIPES! In this case, striped dresses. I've got a couple of striped shirts but now it's time to find that perfect dress for summer days, which you can put on with some sandals, a panama hat and you're ready to go. Just don't know the cut... There are so many right now that is difficult to choose. The favorites are 1, 2 and 3. Most of this dresses are from Zara (what else, right?) and super affordable (which is good!).

What do you think of this dresses? 

Love,

The Black Trench

Photography by Rui Ferreira

Well, guys, here you have today's look. 

I went back to my old trench coat! Cannot believe that I have this coat for like 6 years, or so. It was a gift but back then I didn't care about it too much. But now, and with this trench fever going around, I had to pull it back from the ends of my closet and give it another try. It has a perfect fit, no loose parts, the belt accentuates your silhouette and it's black! Will go perfect with everything. 

I so love my jeans right now. I've had them for quite some time and I decided to jazz them up a little bit by cutting them at ankle size and the knees. It gave a edgy touch to a classic look. 

And I'm thinking on trying an old trench coat that my mom has (somewhere around the house) which has a super cut and color. It is from the 80's so yeah, super retro! And it's a bit over-sized, so I gotta be careful and not make a clown out of myself wearing that.

After seeing this photos, and after talking with my boyfriend about it, I'm starting having HUGE, MAJOR hair issues again. Since it is very visible the copper color of my last dye on my hair (and the roots are starting to get bigger now) I'm think on cutting my hair. Pixie style! To let all that copper go way for good! I've wore pixie style for some time and its the best, fresh, edgy and ready-to-go-out hair you can have. But this time my fringe have to be a bit bigger - nose size, maybe. I still gonna think it over, 'cause once I cut it off there's no return. And I cannot forget that the feminine touch must always be there, otherwise I will look like a dude. Gotta do my research on styles and cuts to see what can I do - or not do - to my hair. And when Summer comes, the thing that mostly gets on my nerves is the hair getting stuck to your forehead due to sweet. EW! No way.

Have a warm night!

Love,

Maria

SHOP THE LOOK

Well, it's raining non-stop since 7 a.m. of this morning so with that sad it's impossible to take any photos today. Really bad weather on this side of Europe, guys. Super winds, rain and thunder... Looks like Winter is back. And with that, my boots. I'm going for a casual outfit today with my H&M Men sweater - one of my favorite pieces and everyone should have one in their closet - a basic black cotton shirt, fitted jeans and ankle leather boots with buckles. 

Love to you,

Maria

During March...

Hello there, sweeties!

It's April! The 4th month out of 12. Time is flying so fast... 

Here is a recap of what I wore during last month, and you can see through the photos how the clothes change along with the weather. Started the month with light pieces and t-shirt and went back to knits, turtlenecks and coats... This "don't-know-what-to-wear" weather is a sh*t. It's raining in one day and sun and warm in the other. 

Have a favorite? Which is your favorite piece? (:
Let me know!

Lots of love,

Maria
