Motivational Monday

Hi sweeties!

Another start of the week. For me it's a hard one, I am sick, and I am not quite sure what's wrong with me, I have been to the doctor & I made some analysis which weren't that great ( I am not going to get into details), but to sum up I feel really crappy! I am on a sick leave ( is that how you call it when doctor signs a document you cannot work?), but I still have to go to University today, because there are some important lectures I have to attend. :/
Anyways I am trying to enjoy the marvelous weather outside. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, the temperature is more or less +30C, everything around is green and with flowers! So even though it's technically spring, it's definitely summer in Latvia!

I don't know why I wanted to share this picture, but it just describes my perfect house (not look wise, but feeling wise) and I think this quote on the wall could be a superb and genius idea. Every day when I would walk by it- it would remind of the purpose of the house and household. I love how honest and sincere it is, because it feels like real life- with mistakes, second chances, a lot of fun and most importantly love, because that's what life is all about, right?

Is there something you would want to have in your house?

Have the most wonderful week!

Creamy

Hi lovelies!

First of all, what a crazy week it is! The weather outside is HOT! Really, it's approximately +30C, how awesome is that, I am like filled with joy! I haven't had the chance to be out very much, because of job and university (and today I spent almost the whole day on writing my semester paper!) But I hope the heat doesn't end suddenly and I will have a proper chance to sunbathe!
And second of all, I would like to thank Ara from arafeel.com for sending me this lovely bag, I received it last week and this week, finally, I had the  chance to take some outfit photos with it! The bag is super cute, I really like the color of, as I don't have any white/cream purses! What you think of it? :)

New from Ebay

Hi!

Today as I promised I am going to show you some goodies I got from Ebay, overall I am satisfied, but as I expected the quality is a bit lacking!

Platform lace up boots, $ 33.99 LINK

I love the fact that look like Jeffrey Campbell Litas, just for loads less money. I was a bit unsure of what size I should get, because this is my first time ordering shoes online and my shoe size varies (sometimes it's 38, sometimes 39 and even 40), but I went with 39 and I was happy to find out that it was almost a perfect match! The quality might not be the best, the shoe feels a bit glued and some seams look a bit off, but overall I am happy.

Faux Leather Leggings, $ 6.43 LINK
(my photos) + my outfit with them LINK

leggings
These leggings are really, really cheap, the thing that scared me the most was that I could only order it in ONE SIZE so I thought maybe they are really flexible, because we know that there are different body types. But in reality they are not that much flexible, I wish they were a bit longer, like over my ankles, but I think I can be ok with the actual lenght as well. The faux leather sides are definitely not faux leather, I am not a fabric expert, but they look just like a stretchy, shiny textile. Overall I am happy with what I got, I just expected something slightly different!

So what do you say about my finds? Have you bought things on Ebay? Were you satisfied with them?

Your one and only,
Maddie

Red lips & leather

Hey sweeties! :)

Today I have another outfit post for you guys! Actually these photos were taken a little bit time ago when the weather was still a bit chilly, but right now it's pretty warm and in contrary to what you can see in these photos, spring has really sprung. Right now I am in green overjoy, because everything around looks so fresh and green! I love it! So don't get the wrong opinion that it's still winter in Latvia! :D
In this post I wore my new Ebay leggings ( I promise the next post will be an Ebay review), I styled them together with this tribal print blouse, and dark red heels. This outfit I might not wear on daily basis, but  I think it would be perfect for evening cocktails! :)

May favorites

Hi sweeties!

As May is almost in middle, I decided for my May favorites post to be warm and sunny, as the weather in many countries is just like that, even including my country- Latvia. The weather these past few days has been really great and if I could I would give and A+ mark! So therefore as May is the last month of spring I wanted to show some really great spring/summer items. And I cannot express how much I adore that vibrant skirt, it would be such a cool pop to the outfit! If only I had "just" 400 bucks!

2. Floral jewelry $15
