DAD

Last night, my father passed away after battling cancer for almost four years.
He's had three close calls, but this time it happened + I am heartbroken.

With the exception of a post I had already prepared for tomorrow, I am going to be taking a short break from blogging to be with my family. I mentioned to someone earlier that blogging has always served as a great distraction, so I will definitely be back at it soon.

In honor of my dad, I urge you to take a moment to consider donating your stem-cells to help cure or even just help prolong the lives of others suffering from cancer + other diseases. While my father's stem cell transplant from a donor did not cure his cancer, it gave him another precious year to be with us + we couldn't be more thankful.

Find out more about donating here.

♥

I miss you dad. I'll love you forever. You will always be our Jamdula bonehead.

New In: Straw Cap

 ASOS Straw cap with pom

Head gear is so not me, but hey, I'm open to experiments, especially when I see such an awesome piece at such a ridiculous price. Will show you the rest of this outfit a bit later, right now I gotta go run some very urgent errands.

P.S. If you have a spare minute, please vote for me in the Chicnova Photo Contest. It would mean the world to me, plus several lucky voters will have a chance to win $20 to $50 freebies.

Look of the Day: Autumn Greens

 I'm wearing:

Jacket - Sheinside

Sweater - Asos (similar ones here and here)

Dress - River Island (really old)

Boots - Kelsi Dagger (sold out in green, but some sizes still available in black and cream)

GOLD

Great gold jewelry at the Isabel Marant + Balenciaga S/S 2013 shows.
I used to hate yellow gold growing up, but can't get enough of it now. Obsessed!
Until these goodies are available, get the look with this necklace + this ring.

ERIN + ELIN | WHITE JACKETS

Erin Wasson + Elin Kling looking chic in their white jackets. Loving the simplicity of both looks.
To get the look, try this one from Bop Basics or this tuxedo style jacket from Madewell.

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK

 Blessed are the Meek skirt via SurfStitch / Fiel Sol necklace / Nick Campbell shades

For my last guest post for SurfStitch, I couldn't resist styling this buttery soft Blessed are the Meek leather skirt.

Generally, I love to wear lots of colour, but as soon as I slipped this statement skirt on, I felt like mixing things up a bit, channelling a head-to-toe neutral look.

In other news, it isn't long now until my birthday celebrations, which means the search is on for the perfect party dress. At the moment, Zimmermann and Alice McCall are at the top of my wish list.

As always, tweet, instagram or facebook any suggestions you might have - I'd love to see them.

Look of the Day: Houndstooth Peplum

Hey guys! Hope you're having a lovely day! 

Sorry for not devoting much time to the blog and your comments/emails. Work's been kicking my butt these last couple of weeks, translation business is having its high season if that makes any sense, and I'm desperately trying not to let any of my clients down. It goes without saying I have to sacrifice my rest, social life and all the pleasures of those lazy days I love so much. What's the point of being a freelancer, if you're never free? I'll have to give it a thought once I'm done with all my projects.  

On another note, here's a casual outfit I wore a couple of days ago, it was much warmer outside than right now and throwing my favorite jacket over a light top seemed like a very good idea. I also love to dig these weird shoes out of my closet once in a while and give them some fresh air, now I have a weird bag to match them with :)

Thank you for reading!

I'm wearing:

Jacket - Sheinside

Jeans - Pull&Bear

Houndstooth peplum top -  AXparis

Bag - VJstyle

Boots - Asos

HAIR CRUSH: DARIA WERBOWY

ph: Vogue Paris

My jaw dropped when I saw Daria Werbowy's new hair cut on the cover of Vogue Paris' November 2012 issue. I was equally thrilled when I came across the black + white portrait from the issue. Love the effortless 90s feel. Just so incredibly good! Gahhh!
