Lanvin for H&M, the best gift this autumn :)

November 2nd is D-Day! The Lanvin for H&M collection will be available in selected stores only and soon after we'll get access to those treasures online as well! These are the first official pictures giving us a small hint in regards to what to expect... of course: dresses, so feminine and typical for Lanvin.


Until all those beauties are out there to grab, enjoy, some of my favorite looks from the Fall/ Winter 10 Collection :)

Autumn: Take 1

Autumn is definitely here, no doubt about that anymore and it's not so bad actually, because I love tights, layer looks, boots, shawls and my autumnal outfits bring all these along. Stylistically speaking, spring and autumn allow me to be most creative,overdo it with accessories and go crazy with textures and layers, which I totally love!
I chose to wear this outfit for a nice walk thru the city and a lovely lunch with my baby.




Sweater: Stradivarius; Top: Mango; Shorts: River Island; Clutch: Pieces (Vero Moda); Shoes: Primark (one of my Top 10 London Must Haves :)); Tights: huuuuuge Carrefour bargain :); Flower Brooches: Noa Noa & Handmade by Meelusha

Enjoy the autumn honeys,
XoXo, Meelusha

Estilo de Vacaciones

Rainy & cloudy Sunday morning, so the best thing to do is daydream about our last vacation in Spain, into which I alreday gave you a small preview. Stilistically speaking, I was a bit challenged as we flew Ryanair and that means a 15kg bag restriction!!! 15kg + handbag for almost 2 weeks, you can imagine the hard times I had.

Some of my holiday outfits below...Enjoy :)

Besitos,
Meelusa

De vacaciones...

We recently returned from one of the best holidays ever: 3 nights in Barcelona, 6 in Tenerife and 1 in Bergamo! It was absoltely amazing...wonderful people, impressive lanscapes and architecture, adorable food and here and there a bit of shopping, as every girl's wardrobe needs a small refresher now and then:) Below is a small selection of places I loved and food I enjoyed in Tenerife, a heavenly Canarian island that I 100% recommend. It's exotic, misterious, so different and uniquely beautiful and so far away from Europe...Lay back and enjoy :)

Meelusha's Tips:
  • Rent a car! Tenerife is a great island to explore, so it's worth investing in a car for the stay in order to be mobile and see all this magic island has to offer
  • Playa de las Teresitas cannot be missed: great golden sand, clear water, an authentic Cubano feeling (try out the snack van on the beach) and definitely climb up the hill for a breathtaking view!
  • Visit Loro Parque! It's an amazing encounter with nature, it's as close as you can get to fascinating parrots, as you can actually feed them :)
  • Best paella ever: in the charming village of Candelaria, in the main square, the restaurant closest to the shore. It was mouthwathering, 110% delish!...and very cheap!
  • Pack your hiking gear and a warm jacket next to the beach stuff: The highest mountain peak in Spain (the El Teide volcano) offers great trails in the surrounding natural park. Be prepared for snow in the hot summer:)
  • Reserve a day for the Siam Thai Aqua Park! It's the largest water fun park in Europe with plenty of highlights and a definite goose bump and adrenalin rush quarantee!
  • The south-eastern part of the island has the best weather, so if you plan a less mobile stay, then book your hotel here. The north-east is windier, while the western side has more rainy days (only rain we got was when we went to Loro Parque in the north west). Overall the north and the west are cooler.
 
In case I have awakened your appetite for Tenerife, drop me an e-mail and I'll be glad to share some more touristic details with you :)
Muchos Besitos,
Meelusha

On the last day of summer...








Last saturday we still had a really crazy temperature of around 40 degrees, so me and my baby went off to the park to relax by the lake with birds singing, swans swimming around and a cool lake breeze...accompanied by the Coco Chanel biography I am delighted to read right now.

I chose to wear my london vintage acquisition in terms of dresses, accesorized with a Stradivarius brown belt, H&M wedges and a coral flower in the hair. The bag I'm wearing is a very special piece from the 70s, handmade by my mom and one of my wardrobe darlings!

Feel a bit inspirationless for dressing up in warmer clothes since the chilly weather came so unexpected...but a bit of shopping to refresh my closet will most probably solve this issue :) Am so looking forward to shopping in Barcelonaaaaaa!

Hugs,
Meelusha
