I Heard That Watches Are Making A Comeback

I've got this amazing watch that surprisingly is still working that even more surprisingly is so stylish at the moment. Watches are the new studded bracelets everyone. I am so used to check the time on my mobile at the moment probably like I was used to stare unseeingly at my wrist every 5 minutes. It will be fun to return to this habit again.

Бях забравила, че имам един страхотен часовник, който се оказва доста в крак с модата в момента. И все още работи... Очевидно часовниците са новите гривни. Вече съм привикнала да гледам часа на мобилния си телефон до такава степен, до каквато преди години бях привикнала да поглеждам с празен поглед китката си през 5 минути и винаги се намираше някой да ме попита колко е часа (все едно изобщо виждах колко е часа). Интересно ще е да възвърна този навик.

Matte

Being back to work seems so unreal today which for me means time to experiment with my outfit. So I pulled my matte lame leggings, dusted them off and hid my bum with my new Zara fur vest. Something old works well every time with something new.

P.S. Just got the news that the next designer to collaborate with H&M is Sonia Rykiel with lingerie line for Winter 2009 and knitwear collection for Spring 2010. Check the article here.

Толкова нереално се чувствам днес на работа. Затова пък реших да експериментирам с тоалета си. Измъкнах стария лъскав клин и му вдъхнах нов живот, като го комбинирах с новия ми елек с косъм от Zara.

П.С. Тъкмо научих, че Sonia Rykiel е новият дизайнер, който ще създава колекция за H&M. Очакваме колекция бельо за сезон Зима 2009 и дрехи за сезон Пролет 2010.

It's Personal

I got few things on my mind that I want to rant about. As a start, here is a reason why sometimes I hate living in Bulgaria. The guys over at American Apparel decided to send me a gift package filled with some of their new goodies which got me overexcited. However, Bulgarian customs are beyond... (I have no idea what word to insert here) and trust me I have lots of experience with them. The bureaucracy here is every bit of frustrating as you can imagine, although AA made sure everything was as officially required. Nevermind the couple of weeks it is necessary to prepare all the paperwork and all the procedures to follow, what bugs me the most is the duties and taxes they imposed that equal the amount of the contents which was totally illegal as these items were marked as marketing samples and not for resale. So I had to return the package. Imagine my disappointment and all the shame to reject a gift package from American Apparel.

On a brighter side, the number of my Bulgarian readers is increasing so I've decided also to blog in my mother language.

Искам да ви споделя няколко неща. Като за начало, ето ви една причина понякога да се дразня, че живея в България. American Apparel решиха да ми изпратя безплатна пратка, натъпкана с най-новите им артикули, което беше голяма изненада за мен и ме зарадва супер много. Обаче българските митници са неописуеми и повярвайте ми, това го споделям от дългогодишен опит. Бюрокрация в пълния си вид, въпреки че от AA се бяха постарали документацията да е законово изрядна. Да оставим настрана седмиците необходими за регистрация и набавяне на документи. Най-дразнещото беше таксите и митата, който възлизаха на стойност по-висока от стойността на пратката, което е в пълен противовес с всички закони, тъй като пратката е прилежно маркирана като рекламни материали. Реших да върна подаръците. Можете да си представите разочорованието ми и големия срам, който бера пред АА - да откажа подарък изненада на солидна стойност.

Добрата новина в този пост е, че БГ аудиторията ми се увеличи доста и затова реших да дублирам постовете си на български.

Off Duty

This would have been my off duty look if I were 10 years younger, 10 kg lighter and 10 cm higher.
I love the shoulders on this blazer. Just the perfect amount of power.

Addiction

Hello, my name is Ivelina and I am a Zaraholic!
I spent more than 5 hours in a total of 3 stores and managed to get all my Fall essentials. Studs, zippers, silk, fur, chains, leather... it was a real heaven for me, I think it has something to do with the fact that I was nurtured in the 80's. I will need a whole month worth of posts to show you all my new purchases. I also discovered a store called Sfera that carries an amazing line of lingerie that satisfied all my lace cravings.
Still tired from all the traveling, I decided to put on something simple and comfortable including my new Zara shirt and TRF zipper ankle jeans.

P.S. For all you other Zaraholics, I have some great news. Zara decided to establish an online shop coming next Fall. Check the article here!

I Am Not Your Usual Folk Star

I had an amazing birthday! The whole day was so hectic that I hadn't had the chance to catch my breath - just the way I love it. Met with some amazing new people to discuss a new project (more on which later) and spent the rest of the day with the most important people in my life. The day ended with lots of presents revolving around black, leather and zippers and family dinner.
And the day would not have been perfect without your wonderful wishes. Thank you with all my heart...

Twenty Seven

I am turning 27. I still cannot fully realize that another year has passed by so fast. I still feel 17 and not a minute older... Got a whole week full of special events planned. Love you for sticking with me ♥

Daydreaming

Me and the bf locked ourselves out of our apartment so we had to spent the night at my old place. While waiting for the locksmith to wake up, I am drinking coffee and daydreaming about gorgeous shoes and their less expensive alternatives.

It's a Rainy Day

Perfect day for a scarf. The secret idea of my haircut was to be able to wear scarfs and not wonder where the hell to put my hair. Meanwhile, I think the skirt blinded the camera, which is why my face is out of focus :)

September Weekend

I had a nice relaxing weekend with some sporadic shopping. The more my shopping trip (read: Zara splurge) is approaching, the more difficult is for me to control myself. First, I gave in and bought the suede Zara heels in black since I couldn't find them in blue. Then, I fell in love with a spiked cuff from Mango on their website and had to check it in person. The sales assistant dug it out from somewhere right before I started contemplating my lack of luck. Lastly, I got a set of silver-toned bracelets.
On the pics below, me proudly parading my new purchase.

Random Mood

I am feeling a bit melancholic these days. Maybe it is the birthday syndrome, maybe it is the seasons changing, maybe it is something else but it is definitely reflecting in my outfits or the lack of them in this blog for that matter. Sorry for that.

Somehow I'd like to imagine it is cold outside. My perfect leather jackets are patiently waiting in my closet. How about you, what do you miss the most?
