Baby it is Cold Outside!

So it is the end of September! Two more days till October comes and the winter is just around the corner and it is getting colder and colder each day. My feet are always cold, in fact they are warm only in the hottest weather. I did not have warm slippers and my feet have already started getting cold :( So my wonderful husband bought me these super comfy Floral Ballerina pink and white slippers from Next! Those are absolutely adorable! They fit just great and are super soft from the inside. They do not slide off or anything and the most important they keep my feet super warm. I am sure I am going to enjoy the slippers all winter long :)

As you see they have got a button and bow detailing which I think gives the slippers more than "wearing at home" look. It is soo cute!

Hope you enjoy your weekend! 

Stay Healthy and Stylish!

Party OOTD!

Today was a crazy day! We had to be at 2 birthdays on the same day at the same time and didn't know where to start : ( We eventually made it and are sooo tired now ready to go to bed immediately. Before we went to the party my husband managed to take a few pictures of me and here is a party OOTD! :)

I got this dress from Zara and it is from its Trafaluc collection. I love the detailing at the waistline and on shoulders, which you can’t really see in this picture unfortunately. My shoes are just regular high heel black leather shoes and a I am holding a sparkly clutch which was a gift from my dad which I got 6 years ago. 

I did my hair with a 1 inch curling iron and my make-up was done professionally, although I think it was a little too dramatic!


Hope you are enjoying your week!


Stay Stylish!

Let's Get That Toes and Nails Ready for a Party!!

I was invited to a party, no actually to two parties in one day! What can you do when both your and your husband's cousins are born the same day! :) Oh well, so I needed to get my toes and nails ready for the party! I knew beforehand that I was going to be needing a pedicure and a manicure, so when I came across this pedicure set I did not think twice to get it. It actually worked pretty well and I loved the toe separators, cause they did not hurt and did not rip my toes apart like all other ones I had did! So if you are looking for a pedicure set, I would recommend you get something similar to this!

Stay stylish!

From Nude to Black!

I think every girl should think about this! Colors... There are so many colors and mixture of those as well. One sometimes can get lost in identifying which one is her favorite color. Today I am going to talk about colors in general, but will explain it as an example on my nail polishes.

No matter how hard you try in choosing the right shape of the dress to suit your figure, you won't look your best without wearing flattering clothing colors that suit both your skin type and hair.

Now some basic tips to help you identify the best clothing color to make you glow and look at your best matching your hair color.

• Blondes look fantastic in warm and bright tones such as yellows, oranges and rusts, as well as tans and taupes
• Brunettes can wear a wide variety of colors, including greens, blues, oranges, chocolate browns and pinks
• As for the redheads, they look best in browns and oranges, as well as taupes, ivories and greens.

The key in all of these is no matter what color is your skin or hair, nudes and blacks suit absolutely everyone. So if you are not sure which color to choose go for either a nude or a black color. 

The same rule applies to the nail polish I use. No matter what crazy colors I might get when shopping, I always make sure that I have the nude one and black one ready to go, in case I need something quick to look good with everything!

Hope you are having a great week! 

Stay healthy and stylish!

Shopping OTTD!

I am invited to two birthdays in one day! I do not know how am I going to manage, but we will see how it goes! I needed something new to wear, so I went to the mall with my husband and my mom. After a long shopping day I finally got an evening party dress from Zara which is super cute! I will be making a separate post on that dress, but right now here is what my OOTD was while shopping! 

I got my dress from Ebay - it is from Minx Clothing and I love it! My bag is from New Look, sandals are from a very cheap shoe store called Shoes World and the necklace is a gift from my aunt - pomegranate shaped gold pendant with a black leather strap. 

Stay healthy and stylish!

Dinner Time!

Hi everyone!

Another day of yummy, tasty and healthy dinner! What can we do? We just love cooking! :) Today we decided to make chicken breast and veggies with white rice. After a long day at work all you want to do is come home and rest, it is very nice when you have something precooked, so you do not have to worry about making something from scratch. As you know this is not always the case and I myself cook every other day if not every day a new meal. Since I have endometriosis and struggle to get pregnant, I recently started an endo diet, or at least something very close to it. I cut out all the sugar, wheat and red meat. I love candies and sweets, so imagine how hard it is for me to just completely say “No” to all the delicious cakes and chocolate. It is interesting and I do not know if this is a coincidence or it started working, but since I cut out all the sugar from my life :) I got my energy back! Something I lost very long time ago. I feel that after dinner I am not running to the sofa to lay down for a nap like I used to, instead I am able to do things around the house which I would never ever have the energy to do about 2 weeks ago.

OK so let’s get started! Quick and easy, and don’t forget SUPER HEALTHY : )

The ingredients you will need:

• 3-4 colored bell peppers 
• 1 medium sized red onion 
• 3-4 cloves of garlic 
• 1 cup of broccoli (fresh) 
• 2 large chicken breasts 
• 1 cup of white rice
• Half a lemon 
• 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 
•  Salt and pepper to taste

 

How to prepare:

Heat the pan and add olive oil. Once the olive oil gets warm add finely chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, but do not overcook as they will be cooking with other veggies as well. Now add the chopped bell peppers as shown in the picture or in the shape of your choice and stir. Close the lid and continue stirring occasionally until the peppers become slightly soft. Add broccoli and finely chopped garlic. Squeeze half lemon on top and cook until the broccoli is slightly soft.

Now take another pan, pour olive oil and once hot start cooking the chicken breasts. Cut them into bite size pieces and once the oil gets hot add the chicken. Cook until golden brown.

Cook the rice as described on the package. I add 3 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.

It is time to assemble the dish! 

Hope you enjoy and bon appetite!

Work OOTD!

Today when I woke up for work I was kind of unsure what to wear! I quickly went over my daily agenda and as I did not have any official meetings, I decided to go for a casual look! So here it is. I am sorry for the crappy quality of the photo, but I promise it will get better soon! :) 

I am wearing Zara jeans, NewYorker top, my bag is from New Look and I do not remember where I got my wedges from. My watches an internet cheapy from Ebay. I am not wearing any jewelery in this picture.

On the right you can also see my plant! It is growing so quickly, I cannot wait till it starts blooming, it is amazing when covered with small pink flowers all over! I will make sure to take a pic for you!  

Hope you have a wonderful day! Stay Healthy and Stylish!
