Street Style - Vatican City

How pretty is this? I thought this girl was so chic in her delicate skirt and heels. The grey tank adds that perfect casual touch. Seeing the way people dress in Europe inspired me, if this girl can bring it in the smallest country in the world, I need to stop being so safe!

These photos were taken at the Waterfront a little while ago. Carousels are so pretty. I love the vintage look of them and the twinkling lights dotted all around; like an ornate music box come to life. So in between plans, emails and phone calls I've been doing a little more online shopping. I ordered a bunch of fashion books at about 3am after finishing a novel and now I've been tempted yet again after checking out cartilage earring studs from Fresh Trends. I'm loving different sorts of accessories lately. I'm finally going to get some free time so I'm looking forward to geeking out and I'll be sharing new Puma and Gap events with you guys soon.

I'm starting to put a priority on finding ways to relax and really appreciating things, making time to ride the proverbial carousel. I think stress and daily routines really change the way we view our surroundings. It's so pervasive that it's difficult to see it as a problem and make a concerted effort to focus on life's beautiful moments or experiences. Whenever I feel at ease, my perceptions change and things that used to upset me no longer do. It's really liberating so I'm trying to find a complete sense of calm as a foundation but life is funny...the more you chase things, the more it seems to elude you, it's kind of amusing.

Being completely honest with oneself is difficult because we all have changes we're dying to make which aren't as easy as flipping a switch. I want to switch my lights on, no more dimming, time to focus on me. I think we all need to turn around once in a while and ask, am I being true to myself or am I putting myself second? It's a classic mistake, a very easy trap to fall into. So do you! Show some self-love and have a great weekend everyone.

Today's Look - Pretty Rough

Vintage bustier

Zoom heels

Diva accessories

Misfit necklace

Urban Outfitters cardigan

Vacations bring the opportunity to play dress up. Glitter and grunge, dirty sequins and pristine studs. Gritty webcam and phone shots to match. Right now I'm really into mixing delicate textures, colours and embellishments with rough ones. It's the ultimate outfit because it's the ultimate woman, person, human; yin and yang, light and dark. Balance at its best. We all have a shiny side and a misty one. I remember being very young, waiting around at an airport, thinking about how badly I wanted some Doc Matins to wear with a super feminine skirt, I thought I was a genuis. The close ups are post accessorising, never doubt the power of accessories. I bought my favorite necklace ever this week, it's a long silver chain with working scissors and a bobbin.
