Laid back Friday

One of my favourite places to take pictures in Portland is against the brick wall in downtown. If you have been reading my blog, you already know brick agrees with most of the colours in my wardrobe as well as handbags. I have light coloured skin and the fact that I do not wear make up makes me needing colours either on or around) me. In addition to the weekend ahead, I am happy to inform you that spring has shown it's beautiful face in the past two days here in Portland. I have been wearing "only" light jackets, thinner tights and I could not be happier :)
p.s. I had some touch up done on my hair and cut off at least 6 cm off (2 inches?). With my super fine hair now it looks alot healthier with an even end, what do you think?

I will be playing another table-tennis tournament this weekend. Wish me luck :)

Iroo pale yellow jacket (last seen here), Red cardigan by Fashion Show (last seen here), Forever 21 skirt (old), Aso tight, Dolce Vita flats, Balenciaga City bag, Stella and Dot Somervile necklace (here).

Black swan

First of all I want to point out that I am not at all satisfied with the quality of these photos at all. The weather and the lighting are both just against me today. It is so grey and cloudy and with the constant glare from the rain off the ground, it is merely impossible to shoot. I will leave it like that. It was after I threw this outfit on then realised I am head to toe black. I was forced (by the photographer man) to switch my top into something non black (or grey) before leaving the door.
On the brighter notes, I have my hair appointment tomorrow AND I received this second beautiful Stella and Dot pendent recently. The colours just make me happ(ier).
I am absolutely swamped at work today so I will leave this post short (and not necessary sweet lol). Have a great rest of the week!

ASOS faux leather skater skirt, faux snake-print blazer (last seen here), Stella and Dot Frida pendent, ASo tight,Sam Edelman booties and Balenciaga City bag.

Is it spring yet?

If this is the beginning of spring, then I am not impressed. Last night the wind was so strong I thought for sure our power was going to go out. Then it came the rain, POURING rain. The only thing that I am somewhat okay with is the slightly less cold temperature. I had originally put on a darker coloured coat but decided to switch to my favourite mustard yellow short coat. I did not notice I actually colour coordinated today with my skort and boots. I guess I have a thing for yellow tone today :)
What is your early spring or end f summer weather like on your side of the world? I hope it is better than what I am experiencing here.
p.s. I am back to the statement necklace phase again. I recently got two lovely pieces and I am in love with them <3
Levi's stripped top T, moustartd short coat from mum, Aso tight,Vince Camuto booties (similar ones on sale here), Coach mini Tanner bag (similar style also in saffiano here)
Have a lovely rest of the week. Yay for soon weekend :)
