3 items that I love buying in thrift shops
Sunday, 30 July 2017
I love thrift shopping for many reasons. For one, it's always a fun experience in itself, but sometimes it's actually way better than going to "normal" stores. Why? Well, you can find high quality items without straving for the rest of the month, get unique clothes or accessories without having 8 other people on public transport wearing them, and discover things that you wouldn't even find in any other store.
To me, there are particular items that are so much better to buy in thrift stores, and I thought I'd share my little guide with anyone who's interested!

8 reasons why seeing San Francisco by car is the best idea
Sunday, 23 July 2017
After reading multiple articles, blog posts and tour guides, one recommendation seems to be given a lot: take public transportation to visit San Francisco. While that is definitely the eco-friendlier version, I personally by far preferred visiting the city by car! Here’s why:
1. It isn't more expensive
Public transport is super expensive, so taking the car doesn’t make a big difference pricewise. We stayed in San Leandro and the one-way BART ticket to San Francisco was 4.50$ per person, which can quickly add up if you’re travelling in a group. You have to pay to cross the bridges (it’s around 5$ per car, and only towards San Francisco), but you can easily park your car for free in the streets. In the city centre, there a tons of car parks, but that would cost more.
The perfect summer dress for every occasion
Sunday, 2 July 2017
I'm picky when it comes to dresses. I want them to be comfortable (above all), baggy enough so I can eat without looking 5 months pregnant, not too short, but not long either (I'm not a big fan of maxi or midi dresses on me. I know, I know, they're a huge trend and all, but I'm just not)... the list goes on.
And it gets even worse in the summer, when they can't have sleeves or else I'm too hot, they need to be cut in a way where I don't have to worry about wind, they need to be breezy... honestly, it's no wonder that I usually wear shorts.
However, I recently ordered this black dress from Asos (it's on sale here) and it's so perfect that I needed to write a whole post about it! I already wrote a post about my favourite summer finds this year, but this one deserves a special place. 😊
It's longer in the back, which means that you never need to worry about it being too short, about sitting down in gross public transport, about it flying up on windy days, or about it not being appropriate for work (my work place is super casual though, otherwise I probably wouldn't wear it there).
It's black (my favourite colour), so it goes with everything, and the material is super thin and breezy, but not see-through at all. And it's so, SO comfortable.
