Bedroom decoration

I think that when it comes to my room I will be always insatisfied about its decoration. I hate my furniture color. It's cherry wood and I prefer they were white. My cosmetics look ugly in my shelf. Some details I love some I hate. And I am always changing the decoration and the furniture from one side to the other. I throw things away but I never have the feeling that it's good enough. 

Audrey Hepburn

 

Audrey Hepburn is my favourite actress of all time and probably one of the most inspiring personalities to me. Her style is elegant, she is a lady, educated, funny, humble and beautiful inside and outside. I have a poster of her next to my vanity table to inspire me. I watch her movies and I don't think she is "selling" herself like most of the actresses do these days. Even in Breakfast at Tiffany's, where she plays a prostitute, she is a polite character. She is a woman who is sexy, feminine, polite and strong and doesn't need to dress off her clothes for that. I think that instead following celebreties who are constantly on the tabloids we should take her as an example, a person who cared about the others. She was more than just a girl, a body or a dress, she was a real person who had no shame in showing her weaknesses, that's what made her so strong.

Brunch

 

If I had to choose I would probably say that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, taken really early and quietly it's a perfect way to start another day which is kind of a contradiction because I get up really late. I need to change that. I love to get up early but I am more productive at late hours of the night. I read that sleeping to much, which is what I usually do when I am bored, tends to cause as much damage as sleeping less. Hereupon I have my cue to sleep between 7 and 8 hours, not more, not less. And stop having brunchs. The only day I am alowed that is during the weekend, Saturday or Sunday, according to the things I will have to do.

Cosmetics organization

 

I really am in a journey to make my room's decoration more harmonious. I am having trouble with my hair, face and body cosmetics. I really don't know if I should just store them like that in the shelf, put them in a basket or a tray. They don't look really great put toguether in the open but I can't just hide them in a drawer cause it doesn't work when I am in a hurry. Today I went to Ikea to get some ideas but it didn't really help. Zara home has some really cute stuff but either they are too big or too small or too expensive.

The jacket issue

While decluttering my wardrobe I made a list of the basics and edgy pieces I needed to create my style. I established a limit for each section here's the list for coats/jackets (vests and cardigans go in a different section)

Coats/Jackets List:

• Navy blue wool coat
• Beige trench coat
• Black leather jacket
• Camel suede jacket
• Olive parka
• Black blazer
• Denim jacket
• Poncho

And I thought maybe add a lady like jacket to the list. The cut would be inspired by chanel but the fabric would be with an ethnic or aztec pattern. I just found a beautiful one from Mango. If during the soldes it comes 50% less or 60% I buy it, but if it doesn't I may loose the idea of adding a 9th item to my coats/Jackets list.

Lancome Vs. H&M

I fell in love with Lancome's new collection "In love" the second I saw it. Emma Watson helped with the colors and design and, in my oppinion, it came out brilliant. The only problem is the price which is no surprise taking account it's Lancome we're talking about. So I was very happy to find a similar one from H&M which costs only 3.95€. The problem, again, is the quality... The only cosmetics I got from H&M were a body lotion which smelled heavenly but didnt do what it was supposed to do which was hydrate, a brush which is reasonable and a eyeshadow palette with bad pigmentation. In stores I couldn't find any testers for this product. The reviews I found online on H&M blushes were positive.

The perfect camel sandals quest

I am looking for a new pair of sandals to replace my old ones from H&M which I bought in 2010 and I worn all summer long since that. Now I need a camel pair. I already have one pair in black but camel looks much better with white dresses and jeans. These would be perfect and, until now, the closer I was able to find are from zara home and the price is good and they are not made in china but still, they don't look like they are going to last very long... Maybe I should wait for the sale season or for a more perfect finding.

Sleep

 

My bad relationship with my sleep is the main reason for almost all my problems. This spring I am commited to change that by sleeping 8 hours, not more, not less, 8. For that I must give myself 30 minutes of tolerance and go to bed/programme the alarm to sleep 8 hours. No more afternoon naps or stay in bed more than 10 minutes after wake up. I really need to change this part of my life.

I need to buy this to start.

The French Inspiration

 

I don't remember how this started exactly but no questioning it changed my life: French culture. I used to hate French back in the 7th to 9th grade, but now I am all into their culture. Ironic... The simplicity in their fashion, their food (I love croissants) and their life philosophy... Of course I am putting all this in a general way, I know that not every French is this way but I like to picture it as if they were.

So in the first place I am trying to enjoy my meals, be more calm and pacient, be more minimalist, choose quality over quantity and the most important of all: embracing my imperfections. Difference is beauty, life is simple. Basically this is the message.

1st

If I had to choose one season I would say that Spring is my favorite... In the morning there's no way you want to stay in bed and outside it's hot and it's cold, you can eat ice cream and still drink a cup of hot tea before you go to bed. And the flowers, the light, it's the season for resumption! And that's exacly what this blog is about! My resumption!
