Pinks & nudes

Well well, look at me, I'm still sticking to my posting schedule 😆..Sundays are usually for shooting new looks (95% of the cases) and yesterday was no exception, aside from the fact that I didn't quite have anything ready. I mean I had an idea for the first look, which I ended up changing in the end, and no idea for the second one, as in the one you see today. But I was suddenly in the mood for light pinks and nudes and so I went directly to my closet and took my new floral wrap blouse, which is among the last sale pieces I got from Zara. Boy, I sure loved this years sales period at Zara, but that's another story.

I didn't even think that this blouse could look so pretty and delicate, especially when combined with some light pink, but these culottes were the perfect match to it. I got the culottes about 3 months ago and I already wore them several times in different combos, but mostly sporty-chic looks. However, when I see them now paired with high heels I know that culottes look best when worn with heels. :) So anyway, I also added to this look my pair of nude heels and this super pretty BAG and the outfit was ready. What I mostly like about this look is the fact that it is different from what I posted lately and I think it's very feminine, delicate and sweet. 😃 The location also helped a lot, this being my favourite park in Shanghai (I showed you some more pics of it on Instagram. Remember, @andyandra).

What do you think about this look?

Have a pretty new week!
Hugs, A.

That stylish detail 🍊

 Silk Scarf / Esarfa de matase - HERE / AICI || Top / Top - Mango || Pants / Pantaloni - Zara || Bag / Geanta - Michael Kors || Shoes / Pantofi - Zara

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.

If you use the coupon code "flashforwards" on your checkout you will get 16% off your purchase, and if you write the same coupon code in the comment box from your cart you will also get a free SILK EYE MASK. 

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.

Chattin' with the owls [Tokyo, part 3]

Wow, it already seems so long since we were in Tokyo but I still wanted to show you some pics we took during our third day there and also to tell you some words about it. We started the day with a short walk on the streets of the Electric City (if you remember, I told you a little something about it HERE) and we had two reasons to return there: 1. we had the feeling that we didn't see it properly on that busy Saturday afternoon, and 2. we were about to visit an owl cafe which was in the neighbourhood.

Yes, the OWL Cafe was the highlight of the day. But let's start with the beginning: while browsing on Pinterest for things to do in Tokyo, I discovered there were many cat cafes and a few owls cafes and as tempting as the cat ones sounded, we thought that having our coffee with some quite little (or big) owls would be more interesting and why not, once in a lifetime experience. And so I did some research and I found the AKIBA FUKUROU OWL CAFE. We made a reservation (which is the only possibility to go there) and I could not be more excited about it. At the entrance I noticed that they accept only a limited number of people and we all got some instructions on how to behave inside, like being silent, not making sudden moves, how to pet the owls, etc. It all seemed very well organised with regard to the well-being of the owls. There were two rooms and many different types of owls in both of these rooms, each having its own place and a name tag above. We stayed there for 1 hour and there was actually no coffee, but we could choose two owls to stay on our hand, we could take as many photos as we wanted and we could pet the ones which were not sleeping. The experience was amazing and I loved the fact that the place was super clean and the owls were taken very good care of and you could see that they were truly loved. I would definitely recommend seeing this place if you're in Tokyo. :)

After that we went to see the Ueno Park, which is a beautiful and very big park in the city. This was the perfect choice for a long walk before the rain started. :)

We also managed to take many photos of my outfit that day, photos which you can see below. I chose again a casual look, but I gave up the sneakers for some pointy ballerinas. I feel in love with those flats ever since I saw them, but I gotta tell you that after they destroyed my feet that day I didn't have the courage to wear them again. I mean, they are definitely not meant for you to walk 10 km in them :)) But if you don't have to walk so much during one day they are ok and I will give them another change one day. :)) What do you think about this look?

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the photos!
Love, A.
