every rose has its thorn..

 when local distributers stopped offering stella mccartney perfumes a couple of years ago, i was kind of happy, thinking less ladies will carry the same scent as me. since i never got tired of scent of a rose, through the years i've managed to find a couple of affordable everyday perfumes and colognes that come from a range of natural cosmetics and aren't tested on animals. moreover, they smell very similar to my favourite stella, especially the body shop's moroccan rose which has recently been changed by the atlas mountain rose line. not until recently have i stepped into romano ricci's world of roses and just like i thought i would, i have instantly fallen in love with his version of vintage rock princess who smells just like stella's, but in a high class society. 

and yes, i'll soon need a spare room for my perfume bottles collection.

hysteria..

 so i just didn't manage to avoid the neon trend this season.. my new def leppard shirt and this cheap neon h&m belt make a perfect match. 

i now walk into the wild..

after years of yearning for them, i finally got myself a pair of minnetonka boots recently..and i'm afraid i'm not going to stop at this one pair. i was just talking to one of my girlfriends, a proud owner of a few minnetonkas already, about how interesting it is that a local retailer used to carry them, but they were around for only a single season..the minnetonka trend obviously couldn't find its way through the invasion of uggs. and timberlands. and hunters. whatever the reason might be, it's better for us both.
