Today I'm loving...

... this gorgeous maxi dress with a galaxy print from Modcloth.

I've been obsessed with maxi dresses for summer for a really, really long time, but my galaxy print obsession is slightly newer. I do have some galaxy print items in my wardrobe already, all recently purchased, like this galaxy print wrap top:

But like with all things I really like, I tend to go overboard, so I am already thinking of more galaxy print items to add to my wardrobe!

Today I'm loving...

... Carrie Hammer's absolutely gorgeous newspaper skirts.

As a SATC fan, I've been dreaming of SJP's iconic newspaper dress for years, but never found something that quite measured up. But these gorgeous skirts do come pretty close! So I do believe I have to get one...

You'll find the pencil skirt here and the roomier one here.

Today I'm loving...

... Sarah Jessica Parker's very colorful outfit.

The coat is just gorgeous, and the dress is really pretty too. I'm not sure I would combine the two personally, but the look, with both pieces together, is very Carrie, so can't complain.

... these pretty images of Cara Delevigne and Saskia de Brauw for the Chanel Cruise 2013 campaign.

I think it's because of the bird cages, I've always loved vintage bird cages. But I would never actually put a bird in one of these, I think that would be way too cruel!

Today I'm loving...

... the idea of using some rather rare Hermes items for decorating your home.

Remember how I loved the idea of using old Louis Vuitton trunks as part of your decor a while ago? Well, this is pretty much the same thing, just with an even fancier brand.

Here are some examples of things one could, purely hypothetically (since these things are really, really hard to find) use for that:

So Hermes is not only about bags for me anymore! Even though, like most girls, I would love a Hermes bag too, of course!

Wonderful weekend

Lately, I've been kind of busy with all sorts of things, and because of that, I've been kind of bad at making time for myself, relaxing and pampering myself. Which is a shame, we all need that from time to time, after all. But that all changed this weekend, because I didn't have anything planned! On purpose!

So I booked an appointment at a spa, which was actually a gift, but I hadn't gotten around to actually going yet, ate amazing things (leek patties with tzaziki, antipastis and great pasta, just to mention a few things), took nice long walks (see some of the scenery I saw in the photos in this post) and also went to the movies. Not once, but twice!

And now I have to say, my batteries are not only recharged, but as good as new! So I really have to make sure I plan more weekends just like this one in the near future. So far, super pampering and relaxing weekends have been too far apart for me...

Hope everyone else is having an amazing weekend too!

Today I'm loving...

... this gorgeous blue and white gown, that reminds me of china for some reason, from the Alice + Olivia spring 2013 collection.

I love how it's a classic gown, that still looks modern and interesting at the same time. And I've always been a huge fan of white and blue together, so they chose a really great color combination as well!
