Quick reveal

Hi guys, I have an exciting reveal for you (although I already posted a few pics of this item on my IG profile). I got it a couple of weeks ago from the online store "luisaviaroma" for an awesome price.

Here it is:

I've been obsessed with this item for quite a while, but initially I wanted to get it in black with silver HW. I finally spotted it at the previously mentioned website, but it was only available as a pre-order item, which means I'd have to wait for it to arrive for a couple of months. I couldn't wait so I just kept checking other colors and designs on different websites, but ended up getting this cutie. The color is amazing and looks even better in person. 

(It's hard to tell, but the hardware is silver)

I managed to find a 10% off deal for luisaviaroma so I saved up a few €€€ (yay!). I'm really happy that I got my hands on this exact item because now I see how boring it is to only have black items in my collection! (Sorry black color fans) The leather is just amazing and right now it's quite stiff and it's hard to insert and remove cards from slots (there are 4 slots and a pocket in the middle). It should get softer with time. I chose caviar leather since it's very durable, but soft. All in all, I see it as a good investment and a good value for money. The only thing that I dislike is the dustbag, it just seems like a very cheap piece of canvas or whatever they used and a very bad drawstring embedded into the poorly stitched bag. 

The cardholder also came with the authenticity card and care booklet.

And I almost forgot (as per usual), I was amazed by the fast shipping luisaviaroma provided! I placed an order in the morning and the very next morning I received the item! It took only 24h to receive it with DHL delivery. 

I hope you liked this small reveal :) 

New in

Hi guys, I have a short post for you today about one of my latest purchases. I was really excited to buy this and I hope you'll like it as much as I did. 

Here it is:

I got a gorgeous pair of Kenzo espadrilles directly from their boutique in my city. It's safe to say it was love at first sight because I couldn't stop thinking about them after seeing them online for the first time, I just knew they had to be mine. 

They currently retail for 205€ in the EU. 

I know, I know, they look a lot like Chanel espadrilles, but to be fair, the differencw between the two isn't so big (I own a few pairs of CC espadrilles as well). I just love the leather on this pair. I mean, just look at it!

It's so soft (although the leather was really stiff and it was quite painful to walk in them, but they have stretched already). Now that the leather has softened up a little bit, they are so comfy, it's almost unreal. 

This fashion house is currently offering a wide variety of espadrilles, in different colors, materials and styles. I'm not sure, but I think the lowest price is around 150€ for a pair of canvas espadrilles, which is only a 50€ difference from the leather ones. I personally think it's better to invest in leather shoes, even though some of the canvas designs are pretty cute and hard to resist. 

That's it, I hope you liked this post and appreciate me writing it :)

I wanted to remind all of you that many online stores offer discounts/have some products on sale, so keep up with those and you might get these shoes or some other designer piece for a much lower price :) 

(I just found out luisaviaroma is having up to 50% off on some items and I saw a couple of Kenzo espadrilles there) 😉

Alma BB

Hi guys, I've got a new post for you on this beautiful Sunday morning! I'll show you what fits in my Alma BB and I'll do a small review. Let's get started:

I purchased this bag in August 2015 on one of my trips. The price at the time was 895€/7800NOK. It comes with a detachable strap (non adjustable) and a lock with 2 keys. The interior is red, although there are some Alma bags in Damier Ebene print with a burgundy interior. 

This is a not so nice presentation of what fits in this bag 😂

As you can see, there are some tissues, a snack and a juice box, my LV cles, a small pack of gum, hand sanitizer, lipstick and a pen. Not so many things there, but trust me, you can fit a lot more inside. I almost forgot, my phone fits nicely inside among all those things and there's still some space left so the bag doesn't look bulky once you zip it. 

Was this item worth the spent money? Absolutely. It's a perfect everyday bag; you can use it as a small bag when traveling by plane (you can fit your passport and travel documents, as well as your wallet), it's perfect for running some errands, you can use it for special occasions when you dress up, it's just such a versatile bag and it matches so many outfits. I've been using it quite a lot and I've been careful with it so there are still no scratches or signs of wear as the leather trims on Damier Ebene pieces are so durable. It's just such an amazing bag and it still has the same shape as when I purchased it (Alma bags tend to slightly change shape as they get used and they soften up, especially the vernis pieces). I almost forget to mention this bag has a small pocket inside which in my opinion can only serve as a slot for a credit card, ID or anything of that kind. That's also the place where they put the date code and it's quite difficult to see it as the pocket is very tight. This bag is most likely my best purchase so far and I would recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it. Hope you liked this post xoxo

Mini haul

Hi guys, today I'm coming at you with a short review of products I purchased last week from one of the Kiko Milano stores. 

I went there to check out their special 3 for 3 offer (buy 3 products, get 3 more for free), so here's what I bought:

This is the product I was most excited about:

This set costed 7,90€

The color is gorgeous (this particular color is called teal 679), but something about this nail polish just isn't right. The instructions on the box say you should apply 2 layers of the nail polish and then apply the top coat, but when I did that, the very next day it all peeled off as if I had a sticker on my nail. It seems to be too heavy, so the next time I applied just one layer before the top coat and so far it looks good. If I had to rate them, I'd give them a 7,5/10.

The next product I purchased was a creamy lipstick with a matching lip liner. Despite being creamy, once applied it becomes matte. It's quite long lasting (the longest I had it on without touching up was just over 5h). The lipstick number is 104 and the lip liner number is 700. They're a perfect match and they are worth the price (the lipstick was 8,90 and the pencil was 2,50€). The lipstick also has a very pleasant scent (reminds of chocolate). I'd give them both a 9,5/10.

Another product I got was a makeup remover. This one was specially created to remove eye and lip products. It's very mild and its scent isn't too strong. It's probably the best makeup remover I've used so far. I'd rate it 9/10. 

The price was 5,90€

The last two products are empties - travel size empty bottle and a box, something I always need when I travel, but somehow never managed to get it. 

They each costed 1,50€

This is it guys, hope you liked this post :)

Product review

Hello guys,
today I have a product review for you and I hope you'll like it as much as I did when I first saw it.
It's a dress I received from abaday, an online clothing store I'm working with. Here it is:

and this is what it looks like in person:

As you can see, it's made of a shiny, no stretch fabric. I'm very satisfied with the look of it and how it fits. It's a quite short dress (reaches just above the knees in my case). You can also choose from a wide variety of prints:

Travel diaries

Hi guys, I'm going to make a quick post about the trip I took a couple of weeks ago.

It wasn't exactly planned and it all happened so quick - we booked everything on Tuesday and on Friday night we were already in the Denmark's capital! Unfortunately, this trip was short due to our other commitments and silly flight schedules, but it was amazing. Despite the bad weather, we enjoyed our time in Copenhagen to the max.

I snapped several pics with my camera, but since I'm having issues with it, pics are going to be posted a bit later. 

We went on a small shopping spree and stopped by Hermès, where I got my Clic H bracelet in rose gold and black hardware. 

How can you go to Denmark and not get anything from the LEGO store?

After a hard day, we all deserve a bit of relaxation, right? 😇

That's it guys, I'm sorry this post was so short and I'm sorry that I couldn't post more photos, I hope that will be fixed soon. Kisses to all of you from cold Milan! xoxo

I used to have acne scars

As the title says, like many other teenagers, I used to have problems with acne. I tried so many different products promising this and that, but there were no significant changes whatsoever. If I'd skip just one day of using those products, my face would immediately get full of those little bastards. I would switch to another product every 2 months on average, just so I could see which one does the most for my skin. Surprise, surprise, it was the Garnier 3 in 1 face scrub. 

Couldn't resist putting this photo of Egor Kreed, famous Russian singer 😇 (photo not mine)

Now, the title mentioned acne scars. I don't touch my breakouts, I don't squeeze them or I don't know what and I still experience having scars. I never underwent cosmetic treatments or anything like that, I just consistently used this product for about 9 months now, once a day and I can say it helped reduce the scars. They aren't completely gone, but they are for sure less visible and aren't as red as they used to be. 

I'm sure that those of you with acne problems know what a pain in the butt applying foundation and other makeup products can be, it seems like scars and acne get even more visible (especially if you're just as clumsy with applying makeup as I am). The other day I tried applying a BB cream to my whole face for the first time in a very long time (I only used it to cover up the dark circles around my eyes) and I was amazed! I couldn't see any bumps or dents from scars once I applied the BB cream! It made me so happy knowing that I can finally get rid of my imperfections, one by one and finally be more confident.
