Silk Scarf / Esarfa de matase- HERE / AICI

It's been a while since I had a travel post around here (probably the last one was the one from Beijing), but during the week when our friends came to visit us we saw some pretty cool new places and I thought that this particular one was worth sharing with you. 

I love Shanghai because it is a city full of contrasts and the biggest one you can see is probably the fact that, on one hand, it has incredible skyscrapers and a famous skyline renowned all around the world, but on the other hand you can get lost on its streets and see parts of the real China. Also, there are many water towns / villages in and around Shanghai where you can actually see how the Chinese live their everyday lives. We already saw 3 of these water towns, Suzhou being the most famous one, but this 4th one (named Fengjing) which you can see in today's pictures was by far the best one. Probably the fact that it wasn't crowded at all had a big influence on us, but I can't even begin to tell you how lovely it was to get lost on its narrow streets without bumping into another person or without having someone yelling around you or without having vendors trying to sell you things constantly. We were even able to take a boat ride on the canals without having to bare interminable queues. In fact, we were the only ones there and it was sooo good! Not to mention that I was even able to take loads of pics 😆

I've been truly impressed by this little gem which is only one-hour drive away from Shanghai and this was not only my opinion, we all felt the same. So now you probably understand why I thought this was worth posting. Plus that I wanted to show you what I chose to wear that day - a quite casual, but chic look in yellow and black & white, to which I added the second mini scarf which I received from LILYSILK WOMEN COLLECTION and this time I chose to wear it as a bag accessory. 

What do you think of this look?

Hugs, A.

That stylish detail 🍊

Orange is definitely a color I don't wear much. In fact, this top is probably the only one in this shade of orange that I own and I couldn't tell you why exactly because I do think that this color looks great during summer. However, when I began creating this look I actually started with the lovely MINI SILK SCARF which arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to wear it.

Silky, colourful headbands and scarves are a must this season and they dress up any simple outfit and they give it a more beautiful final touch. Depending on how you decide to tie such a scarf, it can prevent your hair to be in your face when you're at the beach, they can even protect your head / forehead from the sun and if you go for a MINI SCARF, you can even wear it tied around your neck, around your wrist or even tied on your bag. I love this tiny detail which will make you look so stylish! So I found my mini scarf at LILYSILK WOMEN COLLECTION and I must tell you it is incredibly soft, silky and pretty, therefore if you like silk garments you should definitely check them out because, besides scarves and other accessories, they also have women clothes, pyjamas, bedding sets, etc. all made out of silk.

Having said that, let me know what you think about this outfit and whether you like to wear headbands this season :)

Have a lovely new week,
A.
