Dieting. The hard way.

Dieting. The hard way.
Category: lifestyle

“That’s it. I’m on diet!!” It’s a phrase anyone gets to say at least once in a lifetime and a decision I’ve solemnly taken 9 days ago (and counting) which I intend to pursue with great devotion. In fact, I’ve already reduced those sinful, sweet-tooth moments to just a Hershey’s bar and not more than 7 cookies a day! Tough, I know, but there are times when a girl has to do what she’s got to do. So I’ve also cut down on soft drinks – diet-coke is the only beverage

Yes - flat broke!

Yes - flat broke!
Category: lifestyle

I'm sure I've already mentioned I bought this beautiful apartment with rooms and a ceiling. But did I happen to mention I'm flat broke?

 

I'm flat broke!! In fact lately I'm realising that everything is coming with a price tag. Has it always been this way? Did clothing shops use to have huge carboards illustrating item-prices next to each mannequin? Actually, did we use to pay for the

Christian Dior Couture SS15

Christian Dior Couture SS15
Category: fashion

Last Monday, Dior paraded the much awaited SS15 collection in Paris, treating the world to a combination of extremes; from chic footwear to rubber boots and waterproof wear, embroidery to graphic swirls, gowns to jumpsuits. So worth looking up this Couture collection if you have a couple of minutes to spare (you'll need more, it's intoxicating!), so worth learning more about the genius that Raf Simons, creative director for Dior, is.

SALE NOW ON!

SALE NOW ON!
Category: fashion

It's the most beautiful time of the year because we get to spend more time with our loved ones, show we care for each other, exchange pressies and toast to a great time and an even greater new year! Also, it's the most beautiful time of the year because the words SALE NOW ON is a good enough of an excuse for me to enter a shop for the nth time to see whether there'd be something (read 'things'!) to my liking

My COCCINELLE!!

My COCCINELLE!!
Category: fashion

To celebrate their one year anniversary in Malta, Coccinelle is today giving away 3 Coccinelle handbags from their Autumn/Winter Collection. All you have to do to try your luck is try match a leather sample given to you as soon as you enter the boutique and try to match the sample with the winning handbags. Pretty straightforward right?! Yet, as straightforward as that may be, the leather sample I was given is still lying in my handbag; I was so overwhelmed with

The day I entered the floral pants zone :D

The day I entered the floral pants zone :D
Category: fashion

I'm probably the last one to experience the thrill of wearing floral pants but, hey, better late than never!! I finally gave in and bought a pair of floral pants. Admittedly, each time I saw such pants neatly folded on shelves I stayed a mile away because whilst loving them on celebrities and friends, I could never imagine myself pulling off such a garment. But I'm sure you're all familiar with that tiny voice coming from the inside whispering "Come on, buy

Hello peeps!! I ought to be writing an article which I need to submit by tomorrow, latest Yet, the more pressured I am with time, the keener I am to distract myself and waste time. I get up from my desk and head to the kitchen to make tea, I return to my desk and remember I have some pie in my fridge. I walk to the kitchen again but change my mind half way through. I try to concentrate, type down some words which I'm not so sure of. I hit down on the backspace

I've already mentioned how I spent last Saturday lazying around in Sliema in a previous post of mine. That same morning saw me waking up quite late, so to try and get out of the house as early as possible I opted for a one piece (this gorgeous red dress by GUESS) and paired it with tan accessories and a chunky gold ring which I've been wearing non-stop this summer!

So you have to read this one...Liebeskind Berlin in MALTA!
Category: fashion

Saturday morning saw me finding some time to go to Sliema for a beer and a couple of quick chores. As I make my way past Medasia and chat to my hubby, I realise I am now stepping on a soft, light grey carpet rather than plain pavement, which immediately sets my heart racing. This can mean one of two things: Sliema is about to undertake a new project and cover pavements with chic carpets or....the launch of new brand in Malta!! I leap with joy and

I haven't posted a single outfit of the day/night during Malta Fashion Week 2014; unfortunately for me the free time I have on my hands during this year's Malta Fashion Week is kind of limited (and 'kind of limited' is an understatement, trust me!) But there was a particular outfit which turned out to be a hit with you guys and since some of you lovely readers asked for an outfit-of-the-night post, I'm including a couple of snapshots of my outfit on the night

MFWA 2014: Charles & Ron Fashion Show
Category: fashion

It's probably best to admit that way before the commencement of the Mercedes-Benz Malta Fashion Week (see my post here), I knew I was going to love Charles & Ron collection because their collections have never disappointed me so far, more so when they launched their line of leather bags and accessories back in September of last year. And indeed, I was not let down yesterday night.

This morning, whilst driving to work, I was still thinking about it. Yep, yesterday's great show is hard to forget indeed- Caroline Hili is a genius!! Held at the majestic Renzo Piano steps in Valletta, 'Desert Storm' - the title of Hili's collection - screamed beauty, determination and confidence. Caroline Hili has worked for some of the biggest names in the industry including the famous fashion house Valentino, an experience which revealed Hili's 'love at

Yesterday night saw me hurrying (read running) to Casino Maltese in Valletta to enjoy the New Designers Fashion Show; the second show of the Mercedes-Benz Malta Fashion Week. The show was scheduled at 21.00 but at 20.20 I was already admiring Casino Maltese from the inside (venue  is simply outstanding!) and wondering what the New Designers show that everyone had been raving about for weeks was going to be like. Almost 45 minutes after that I couldn't wish

Morning peeps! Just a short post to wish you a happy Monday, after Easter weekend! Hope you got to relax, celebrate and enjoy it with your loved ones! Mine was nice, not as eventful as usual maybe, but I still got to relax, enjoy a quick procession and spend some me time by the sea. Even better than that, I got to eat (read gulp down) lots of chocolate and sweets again after 40 days without candy. And here's the proof! :)

So seriously, you should visit Coccinelle Boutique in Sliema soonest! The collection they have in store this Spring 2014 is THE collection.

Superb sunny Sundays!

Superb sunny Sundays!

Yesterday was a Sunday filled to the brim, just the way I like my Sundays. We woke up early, enjoyed a careless chat and an espresso, washed and by 9am we had already started our Sunday landy trips in the countryside. We stopped for coffee and continued with the ride, to stop again for beer some hour later (we were thirsty!!!) As usual I had to stop and capture a photo (or 20!!), some of which made it to this blog post :)
