Friday Fav Five - on time!

It's Friday and I'm here to give my #FridayFav5. On time!

Enjoy!

1. My new medicine ball. I bought a 3kg/6.6lb ball over the weekend. *insert gasp* I've never owned one and I remember I hated using one when I was in school. I have to say I went for the slighter heavier one (yeah, 2kg, I'm hinting at you) because the guy at the fitness centre said I should challenge myself which could be translated into "You have puny girl arms and should do something about it". So I am. I'm already going Pinterest crazy with medicine ball workouts. Check it out if you want some inspo!
You can find medicine balls on amazon, on either side of the pond.


2. This purrfect white turtleneck sweater. It's snow white, nice and chunky, overly expensive *wink* Santa *wink*, wool and perfectly easy to style with suede, 70s jeans, skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, boyfriends, pencil skirts, skimmed lattes and Saint Moritz. Take your pick. I'll be having all, please.
Find it on mytheresa.

3. These suede boots.
Dear Mister Rossi,
If ever you wish to just randomly gift a cooky blogger a pair of your suede, tanned, laced up brilliance, please keep me in mind.
Kiss and Peace
Miss Sinister

P.S. Should I enclose my forwarding details?

P.P.S. Little Sinisters, don't be fooled. These are what fall/winter is supposed to look like. Pair with anything or nothing at all. I am definitely saving up for these.





4. This swimming cap. Nothing says I'm taking my fitness serious like buying this cap and wearing it to my first swimming lesson back from the summer off. Only 5.95€ at Decathlon. You can find it on their website too. I'll post a silly pic as soon as I get one.

5. This beautiful dress by Unique Dresses. It even has a name that makes it pretty: Edenvale Tunic Dress. I have to say I just saw it on Topshop while casually visiting their website trying to not buy something and fell very much in love. I'm having a print year. You know, some people go grunge, or rock, or totally preppy. I'm print right now. I love this ethereal print and it's overall shape with the high dolcevita neckline and the long sleeves. Can definitely see myself wearing it with thigh high patent boots or the aforementioned brilliance of Mr. Rossi.

Kiss and Peace

Proud to be on time Miss Sinister

Fall/Winter Essentials: The Cape

Fall/Winter Essentials: The Cape by greenvogueglam

Hello Fall/Winter Season!

As soon as my birthday is over it could practically snow and I couldn't be bothered. I am a fall person. I relish the golden hues of falling leaves and the fuzzy warm feeling of cashmere sweaters. 

Fashion goes back to being a game of puzzle where one has to find the perfect pieces and put them all together in a snug fit.

My fav F/W essential right now?

*Trumpets*

The cape.

I especially love this abominably expensive Valentino cape that I shall not name the price. But it looks amazing. Both styles would look great for a work day or a day out roaming the city. 

Your pick.

Kiss and Peace

P.S. the black fringed Sara Battaglia bag was on my Bday list but Mystery said he didn't like it. 

*raised eyebrow* really? like really? 

Looks like I'll have to just gift myself yet another bag.

Some thoughts for May

In between studying, working and living, I spend countless hours online.

Sometimes these are fruitful and I stay focused. Most of the times I'm just looking at make-up tutorials, clothes, shoes (X10), health news and such.

And every month I make a sort of ranking of what I would like to buy, use, try out or just plain out do.

And I've just finished doing my May one. Here it goes.

1. Buy a dress dungaree. A dressungaree?

I want a simple, possibly clear washed jeans one that doesn't cost an arm and leg and can easily be forgotten at the back of my closet after having been worn 3 times. Don't judge - we all do that!

This one from Topshop is peach perfect an costs just 44€. Insert smiling Miss Sinister.


2. Go to an Apple store (Medstore here in Italy) and try the new iWatch. I have been wanting one ever since Cupertino threw it at us some months back.
I haven't decided if I'll buy it or not - hey, there are some shoes that have been waiting patiently in line to be bought first - but maybe I'll splurge on one for my Bday in August. But I want to see it.
Any first impressions with the iWatch? Has anybody got one already?

3. Buy the Laura Mercier Radiance Primer for the whooping price of 38€

I saw quite a few good reviews about this product but the one that really stood out was the A Model Recommends one. I love her blog and she really does a good job at explaining all the basics of her make-up routine which I've found to be both simple and easily followable.

My only concern is my allergy-prone skin and the ingredients (silicone or such - eek!).

Does anybody have some experience with this primer + allergy-prone skin?

4. Go back to swimming twice/thrice a week.
I have been overly lazy because of my studying and last week I went on a walk with the little monster and caught myself out of breath halfway to my perched-up-on-a-hill little Italian town. A big no no!

5. Drink hot water and lemon every morning.

I used to do this some time ago then life kind of got in the way and I stopped. But since I will be taking an exam next month, am stressed, work a lot and feel "acid" (I assume that's the weird feeling of just not right we all get during a particularly demanding period), I have decided to give it go. 

Take a look at this video that I saw over on becauseimaddicted for the 9 main benefits of drinking hot water and lemon in the morning.

What do you plan on buying/trying/making/doing/ -ing in May?


Kiss and Peace

Coachella Calling

Cochella Calling by greenvogueglam featuring stud earrings

Coachella isn't in the plans unless it moves to Italy too, but if I was going this would totally be what I would wear.
