The Devil Wears...Sneakers

  Today was one of the sunniest and most beautiful days in Glasgow - though unlikely, the city has been surprising us a lot lately. When wondering what to wear, I decided to go for bright colours and one of my all time favourite colour combo - bright red and royal blue. As I had to do lots of walking,  "the new flat quest" required it, it decided to go for something comfortable. Thanks to the nice weather, a blazer would be enough - especially this one, that has served me for many years, adding a drop of colour to my monotonous outfits. In general, this outfit has saved me so many times when I am fashion-stuck and I want to look fancy in a casual way. So, this is me on the left with one of my best friends, Mina:

 ( yes, I know, but the whole colour matching thing was totally accidental, though we loved it)

    I bought the blazer and the T-shirt from Zara and the jeans from Mango I found these amazing shoes in January (surprisingly, in Sports Direct), when I went to London. It was love at first sight (considering the discount, a whole epic romance)!  Totally chic, playful and comfortable, yet a little bit unsuitable for the rainy weather. So, they got their star moment today and they were a total eye-catcher. I love their idea and how you can still "wear heels" when being perfectly comfortable. As I was in a rush, I grabbed my multifunctional Miss Sixty bag that I got from TkMaxx and I combine it with everything!!!

First Impressions

    Having a Lookbook profile for ages, it was hard for me to take the next step. I have always been a fan of writing and sharing my thoughts with the wider public, particularly when it comes to fashion. But a fashion blog? It is a serious commitment and, excluding jogging, I have never been good to committing myself to something. But, thanks to a little courage, given me by one of my best friends, I decided to try it out. I don't have a concrete structure or a genius idea, everything revolves simply around me and my fashion choices. Though for many people picking out an outfit for the day may not be an essential task for me it has always been. Probably partially provoked by vanity, but a part of me always knew the importance of first impressions- psychologists say that more than 90% of first impressions people give remain final, regardless the personal traits they demonstrate later on. And from my own experience, I am more than sure they are particularly important.But getting dressed up is a lot more than just aiming to impress someone, it is a mean of self-expression. Many of the greatest figures in fashion talk about clothing as a manifestation of the inner world. Have you noticed how clothing often reflects our mood? There are some days when you just know what you want to wear because it synchronises with what is inside. I personally believe that confidence comes partially from picking out the right outfit. When you feel comfortable with what you're wearing, when it talks about who you are, when it emphasises your mood, you cannot feel anything but confident. It might sound naive, but I think it makes you face life's challenges with a little bit more courage, hidden in the pocket of your favourite jeans. But why The Cherry Dreamer? For everyone who knows me, dreamer makes all the sense in the world- it is the word that describes me best. The burgundy cherry colour is an obsession of my own I found about lately - I rarely go out without having a cherry lipstick on and it gives me that drop of courage to take over the world!

   But, enough of that. I will start my blogging adventure with one of my favourite outfits and one of my favourite trips. I wore that when I went to visit the capital, Edinburgh, with one of my childhood friends. We had an amazing time! I decided to wear something both classy and comfortable ( thanks to my brilliant Oxfords, sightseeing is never a problem) in my favourite colour - burgundy. Now, I would probably think of a different shoe option, but then I was dying for some comfort. I got the dress from Mango as a Christmas present and I love it. It could be worn to an official dinner when combined with heels, but at the same time it can provide the everyday chic a girl needs. I wanted to have my hair up, so the shoulder effect of the dress could be visible. The earrings I got from ASOS at a major discount, but I've lost them somewhere later on ( I am secretly hoping they'd return to me someday!!!!). These Oxfords are the love of my life, got them from Next last year and they are still joining me in the majority of my fashion adventures. So, this is the look, hope you all like it:

(these are the earrings and even if I never see them again, it was true love )
