Creeping Winters

Hey petals,

How was everyone's week? Got anything planned for the weekend?

Today was a family day since my sister works during the week and this is the only time we get to spend full days together getting up to activities. It was an absolutely wonderful day but extremely cold. A matter of days after a big thunderstorm it suddenly turned into winter here in Limassol and today it was very windy as well. 

My sister took us to a Camel park which is about 40 minutes outside of Limassol center near the little village of Zygi. It was an interesting experience but it also made me quite sad because I am highly against animals in captivity and believe that no living being deserves to be imprisoned for entertainment. It was a very special and eventful day nonetheless and it was filled with lots of love like family days always are. 

When we first got there we got to feed the camels; we fed them this fruit called carob which is indigenous to Cyprus and they make many products from it. We met all kinds of other animals also; there were chickens, pigs, goats, shetland ponies, porcupines, birds and many other kind of animals. I also got to ride a camel into some farm land while the sun was setting and it was an amazing experience and view to see. Before that though I kept score of my sister and mom's mini golf game which my sister explained was newly built. 

As I was a little surprised by the weather I was a little unprepared with my outfit which then meant I had to wrap myself in as many scarves as I could find *giggles.* I've been creating many outfits lately that play with patterns so this outfit was no different. I layered this cute striped cropped sweater that I borrowed from my sister over a floral blouse. Added some high waisted jeans and unbuttoned the bottom of the blouse so that it would add a funky element to the outfit. I opted for my converse which of course are my favorite adventuring shoes and feel this outfit is very cute, chic but remains casual and makes it easy to be on the move.

Light and love

Parisien Nostalgia

Hey my lovelies, how was everyone's weekend? 

I didn't get up to very much because it was thunder-storming like crazy here in Limassol but it was absolutely magnificent. I absolutely love when it rains like crazy, I just think it is so beautiful and I love knowing that it gives life to plants and trees. I also feel like rain washes away all the negativity, it cleanses people and nature. 

In the afternoon the weather cleared up which meant my sister and I got to have a walk around the town, which was nice to spend some quality sibling time. The rain has made the atmosphere much colder, so our warm fall is slowly turning into a bitter winter but that is okay, means it's layering time, which I love! 

Today I styled this very cute, feminine outfit that totally reminds me of Paris street style, hence the title of today's look. This definitely something I would wear on the streets of Paris, perhaps though with some thick tights and a heavy knit coat. All the colors are very neutral but to give the outfit a different dimension I played with textures and white accents. I added my Beatles bag to the mix because I thought a laid back tote would look very cute with this look. I adore the bag to be honest because I love the Beatles; Strawberry Fields by them has been one of my favorite songs for as long as I can remember.

How about you guys? What's some of your favorite songs?

Light and love

Moody Monochrome

This outfit has got to be my favorite one that I've styled since I started the blog a few weeks back. This kind of style has got to be one of my favorites to wear; moody, minimal and just a bad ass vibe. I seriously feel like a Queen in this outfit. As you can the outfit is entirely monochrome apart from my watch. Since I'm in Cyprus our fall is extremely warm but if you are in a colder country you just can pop on some tights and a leather or a faux fur jacket. Of course because it is fall I had to add a vampy lip; I swear the only thing missing in this look is a tattoo choker and it would be perfectly complete.

I've linked all items or similar options below and I hope you're all having a great start to your week!

Hideaway

Hey guys, how have your weekends been? Did any of you get up to anything fun? 

Today I styled this very casual, comfortable but still very feminine look. I absolutely love the little off the shoulder top which shows off a little bit of skin. I then added a pair of relaxed baggy ripped jeans and my trusty red high tops. This is the kind of outfit I would wear on a day out at an art museum or perhaps exploring a big city, where I would tend to carry a notebook and my camera so I styled this outfit with one of my favorite bags. The bag is a present I got from one of my ex-boyfriends; he brought it back from Morocco, so its all handmade from local thread and leather (yes this was before I became vegan but once I own something I don't tend to throw things away.) Be warned by the way, if you ever buy leather from Morocco you need to put it outside somewhere so it can air out because the smell tends to not be very pleasant if the leather isn't high quality.  

Again all products I couldn't find an exact match too I linked similar items!

Light and love
