VALENTIN(O)E’S

Two days ago was Valentine's Day. Valentines is one of those days that if you didn't prepare for it you will remember it (…or, worst case scenario, you'll be reminded) for a long time.

If you're in a relationship and forgot to buy a bunch of flowers, sweet pralines or reserve a table at a fancy restaurant, going home is under your responsibility!

Those mornings when your closet look a pale, outdated and sleepy, so much that even your pajamas look like a pretty good option and even matches perfectly with the carpet in the office?

I'll let you in on a little secret, I have a little trick I keep for those days where your body woke up before your head, those "I have nothing to wear" days – ACCESSORISE!

SHADES OF GREY

I want to open with an apology.
For months now I have been writing about my love for colors and urged you to be creative, step out of the mold, be bold and abandon the routine and the "gray". But between us, life is not black or white, and there's really no need for something else to come at the expense of another… there are many shades of gray.
