Sparkles and moustaches

Are you aware of the mini bag trend? It has been around since last year and it is still going strong. Although mini bags look cute, they don't fit many things so for a girl like me that wants to carry around a lot of stuff they are not very practical. However it was hard to resist so when I saw this one on sale in Zara I thought I would give it a go. It may not be the most appropriate bag for going to the office every day but it will certainly do for a dinner out with friends during the weekend!

Butterflies and flowers

As I have said in the past mixing and matching your prints is a yes-yes for me so I include it regularly on my outfits. Why don't you just give it a try? If you are scared it will look too much just follow my lead on this one and only mix them on the upper half of your outfit keeping the rest print free.

Woven and sparkles

I might love me a designer's bag but that doesn't mean I am not intrigued by beautiful handmade things I come across. So while wandering the streets of Oaxaca, I found this wonderful backpack that I just had to have.

Thomai goes to Warner Bros Studios

I am now back to reality after our amazing trip to Los Angeles and it is time I share with you a little bit about my adventures there. I had the opportunity to visit the Warner Brothers studios where I sat on the couch of Friends, visited the set of the Big Bang Theory and saw the house of Lorelei and Rory Gilmore. When in LA I highly recommend it as part of your sightseeing if you are a series/movies fan like myself :)
