T-Shirt - Mango/Skirt - Comptoir des Cotonniers/Tights - Woolford/Boots - All Saints

I just can't believe that the weekend is already almost over! It went by fast and I'm not sure if I'm ready to face the 5 tests I'll have to write next week. urgh. That being said, I am kind of looking forward to next week - all saints holidays are just around the corner!

This is what I wore on saturday, when I went to the city with my stepsister. The weather was absolutely stunning and it was such a good day overall. We just talked about everything and nothing, had some really delicious food (coffee lounge again - bagel, hazelnut macchiato and half a blueberry muffin.yum!) and walked around the shops for a bit.

I hadn't worn this skirt in almost two years - so I guess it was about time I did! I've had these shoes for 3 years now, and every year they're probably my most worn pair of booties. They are starting to look a bit too worn out so I might have to invest in a new pair of a similar style next year.

I finally figured out how to keep the quality of my pictures (almost) the same when I upload them to blogger. Yay!

Anyways, I'll watch the new episode of Vampire Diaries now and then probably go to bed quite early - big biology test tomorrow!

Back To School

Cardigan - Kauf Dich Glücklich/Bouse - Minkpink/Leggings - Zara/Shoes - Converse/ Bracelet - Gift from Cuba/ Necklace - Thomas Sabo

School started again today. As if to underline the way most of us probably felt about that, the weather was pretty depressing itself. What the hell is going on? It went from 30 to 15°C in no time and now it feels pretty much like winter's just around the corner. Sebtember's supposed to be fall, goddamnit.

Well, enough about the weather, this is what i wore today. It's still just warm enough to be able to wear this cardigan as a jacket, so I had to take advantage of it. Who knows how long it's gonn...I really should stop talking about the weather.

I'm freaking obsessed with this jacket, it's long, cozy, keeps you warmer than it might look like and I think it adds a bit of edge to the outfit.

I wanted the cardigan to really be the focus of the outfit, so I kept the rest pretty simple with an all-black ensemble. Too get some lighter colour into the outfit, I wore my white converse, which are my absolute favourite sneakers.

The jewellery's basically what i wear everyday.

School was much better than I'd expected, my class isn't far as horrible as I thought, they all seem to be pretty nice. We also got the Biology and Physics teachers I wanted and I couldn't have been more happy. They are seriously amazing, they're the kind of teachers that can really get you excited for a subject. I don't know many of my teachers so we'll see how that goes, but so far they seem to be alright.

I wasn't glad for school to start again at all this year. Only two of my best friends are in the same class as me and I'm scared what's gonna happen two my group of friends - we've never not been in the same class. also, I basically chose the most difficult section, so i'll have to make a big effort to keep up to my own expectations.

But even after only one day of school, I can feel myself getting really excited for the new school year. It might seem crazy but i actually do enjoy going to school - i love learning new things, and I think I actually missed subjects like Biology, Physics, Chemistry and German while i was in Australia. This enthusiasm is definitely not gonna last but for now it's there, and that's all that counts hey?

Before you think I'm a complete nerd I'lll probably better shut up. Don't worry, I can guarantee you that in less than a month my motivation will be loong gone.

I also had my first piano lesson in 9 months today, I missed this so much! So looking forward to having Jazz Dance practice again from tomorrow on.

Although I know that we in Luxembourg are pretty much the last students in the northern hemisphere to be starting school again I still hope you had a nice first day at school - as nice as that can be at least.

P.S. I have no bloody idea what's going on with my camera - sometimes the quality is pretty good and then others it's just crap. I have no idea why this happens but I might have to wish for a new one for my Birthday/Christmas - even though I really like this one.

Black is a colour

Blouse Minkpink / Skirt H&M / Boots Mjus / Bracelet Present / Bag Handmade, from Antalya / Lipstick L'oréal rouge caresse in Rock'n Mauve

I went to the annual wine festival held about 30 minutes from where I live yesterday evening, and I really wanted to wear my black skater skirt, after two weeks of practically living in hiking clothes.

However, the weather has changed quite drastically in the last few days, and it does get quite chilly in the evenings now (is summer really already over?). I took this as an opportunity to pull out my beloved black booties from last winter, which I haven't worn in over 8 months.

I love the black sheer blouse in combination with the skirt, even if I exchanged it for a sweater just before I left (thank god, I would have been freezing).
The (kinda)bright lipstick was an attempt to bring some colour into my otherwise completely black outfit. I just love that shade of purple!
My obsession with lipstick continues to grow - 6 months ago I didn't even own a single lipstick and now I just keep on buying new shades.

I got the bag in a tiny shop in Antalya, and I just love the fact that it's handmade, so I'm sure to never see anybody with the same handbag as me. Also, it's just the perfect size to me, it fits everything I need on a regular basis without being huge.

I'm off to the movies now to see the One Direction movie (just one of my maany guilty pleasures). next week is already the last week before school starts again and while I'm (somewhat) excited for the new school year and all the changes it brings, I just can't get over the fact that this perfect summer is coming to an end (flames to dust, lovers to friends,...).
