Let's finally put off the winter jackets

I have finally changed my winter jacket to my spring leather jacket. I have had an amazing day full of positive emotions. It started with receiving my order from NELLY.COM (I told you last week that they don't only have a lot of discounts but also free delivery). I ordered a dress that could fit may be my glitter pink stilettos. I will show you some pictures of the dress tomorrow, I hope you like it. Did you order something? You can do it until 31st March, so hurry up:)



Anyways, I got a big breakfast, cleaned the house and went to the forrest next to my apartment. I enjoyed the sun almost the whole day. It reached 17 degrees here, in Aarhus! Amazing weather!

What did you do?
I hope you also enjoyed your day!

Yours,

Spring has finally arrived in Denmark

It has been a great day:)
The spring has arrived in Denmark. I had a great day of shopping, enjoying the sun and my day off. I got myself a pair of black vero moda trousers from Storcenter Nord. 20% off from Friday to Sunday this week. In some of the shops it can reach around 70%. I definitely recommend you to go, if you have time. Bianco Shoes have 20% off on their new collection, also. 



Enjoy your evening!

P.S. Dont forget that the deadline for the Plastic Fantastic kit is very close, participate!

Are you a High Heels girl or a Flats girl?

High Heels or Flats?

I would definitely choose heels and I will tell you why. Back in Bulgaria I used to use mostly high heels, I probably had just one or two pairs of flats that I used for Sports at school. Even if I was wearing heels all the time, my legs were never tired:)

Now the situation changed a little bit. I do wear more flats than heels now-at work, at school. But the fact is that I still have more high heels than flats. When I go to the shoe shops my eyes can see only heels. Strange, right?

Anyways, thats a top I got from my boss the time i was working in Plastic Fantastic. I was cleaning my wardrobe  the last days and found it still with the tags. Soon will be able to put it on!





so...
What do you think, heels or flats?

XOXO

Weddings! Everyone Loves Them...

I am happy to start Monday morning with great news. I don't think I have mentioned before that one of my best friends, she is from Romania, is getting married in July this year. I was honoured to be one of the four bridesmates. The wedding will take place in Baia Mare, Romania. I am looking forward to July. But before that we need to come back to Denmark.

I received recently the wedding invitation, it is so beautiful. You can have a sneak look of it here. 
Now we are at the stage where we are looking for dresses and trying to figure out if the dress should be long or short, very official or something more simple. The decors of the hall where we are going to stay are going to be brown and champagne color, so the dresses of the bridesmates should also match very light brownish/champagne color.

                                                                              
                                     

I will keep you updated:)
Have a great and sunny Monday!

Yours,

Do you like glowing in the dark?

Hello girls,

Sorry I have not been so active yesterday but I have been preparing some surprises for you during the next week, so keep following the blog and stay tuned.

I must say that 2011 has been a glow in the dark year! The trend in 2012 will not be different. Adding some glitter and sparkles makes everything so much more fun. Glitter shoes, sparkling dresses, nails etc.

I received these babies as a Christmas present from a friend of mine but have not had yet the opportunity to put them on, due to the weather conditions in Denmark. But I love them! My first glitter shoes. You can also notice that I have immediately put the Plastic Fantastic Heel Protector due to the fact that I have no intention on ruining them:)

Happy International Women's Day, 8th March!

Do you have any plans for today? Going out with the girls or are you having a calm night at home?

Whatever you choose to do just enjoy yourself and have an amazing evening.

International Women's Day was originally named International Working Women's Day. It is marked on March 8 every year. In different countries the focus on the celebration ranges from celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues etc. with flowers and small gifts. In some countries the women's day has the equivalent status of Mother's Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers.

Happy International Women's Day!


I come from Bulgaria where the day is very popular. I got flowers and little presents from friends, family and boyfriends. The day is simply an occasion for men to express their love for women. I had amazing celebrations until I came to Denmark. In Denmark, the day is more like a feminism celebration, it is all about the women's achievements in social, political economical aspects and rights. I do not receive flowers any more, except from my boyfriend.:)

If you still do not have a plan for the evening and you would like to be a part of an event that is happening on 8th March, I found a website where you should just type in the country and and you can find out if there are any events in the city you live in.

Are you getting ready for your prom? Fun, Stress or both?

This is going to be one of the most important evenings of your life and things definitely need to be perfect. Prom can be one of the greatest evenings in your high school experience- a special night that you look forward to, share with your friends and family. Though, for some people this could turn also into a disaster, another reason to be worried and stressed out.


I still remember mine. It was like yesterday. I was walking for months searching for a dress that I am going to wear for just a night. And the shoes?! That was probably the hardest part. I went with a date, a friend of mine, a really nice guy from my class, we matched perfectly. We did not go shopping together but we agreed beforehand on what the colors should be and also the car we will be driving with. It was an amazing night.








Anyways, just wanted to give you some basic advices about what to do and not to based on my experience:).

Pick up a comfortable dress. It is very important that your dress allows you to move fluent and is not too tight or too open. I was very lucky with that, because my dress had no corset or what so ever.

Do not spend too much money on the dress unless you are going to wear it in the future. I picked up not so formal one and thought that I am going to wear it at least in one-two other occasions but not. It is just hanging in my closet.

Now just hanging in my closet:)

Shoes! It is the most important thing! I insisted on having a really high heels due to the reason that I am just 1.65 m. and what turned out in the end of the evening was that I was dancing with no shoes. My feet hurt so much that I preferred  having no shoes.




Jewelry and accessories-I had very very delicate bracelet, earrings and neckless from swarovski in brown stones. I still have it and use it, it was a good investment...and my bag, I bought it together with the shoes in shiny black. I wear it all the time

.And of course, last but not least-don't forget to have fun!

Hope I helped!

Yours,

Fashion Memos.

The astonishing woman

A Cinderella story

I have been wondering about what my first post will be about. 
After some thinking, I decided to tell you all about the woman I was working together with the last couple of months.

She is just twenty four year-old, beautiful and always up for innovation woman. She always sees the world from a better perspective and tries to help people. She is from Denmark and her name is Solveig Eike. In 2009 she gave her contribution to the fashion industry by inventing a new 'must have' fashionista product, called Plastic Fantastic. Plastic Fantastic protects our so beloved shoes (high heels) from scratches and scuffs that we meet in the every day urban environment. (Read more about the product in later posts)




How did she discover the idea about the product?

In order to find out when the idea of the product was born we need to go a little bit back in time and learn more about her. In 2008 she started her Academy Professional degree in the second biggest city in Denmark, Aarhus. The line she chose was Marketing Management in an Enterpreneur class. She was one of the bright students in the team. Her classmates say that she always had her hand up in the air wanting to answer the teacher's questions.

Solveig Eike is a typical girl that loves shopping and enjoys her free time with friends and family. She loves shoes more than anything and is a proud owner of probably more than 50 pairs of heels in her closet.


The idea about the product was discovered during one of her school projects. She and her teammates needed to come up with an innovative idea and develop it. Solveig had the terrible experience of finding her loved darlings destroyed after a day walking through all the cobblestones in Aarhus and she believed that there should be a solution on the market that protects her so loved stilettos. That is how she and her group started working on a solution for this very common problem among the female population.

The idea that was born from a school project let Solveig Eike win the prestigious JA - YE Europe Enterprise Challenge, (European Championship), with the new product called Plastic Fantastic.

I think that she has an exciting personality and can be an inspiration to many young people.

Who is the woman that you admire?
