THAT SUMMER HAZE





tidal - stradivarius dress and bag// labeless thick knit cardi // primark belt // pimkie shoes

001 /// Really missing some nicer weather as I believe I am entering the state of seasonal depression. It's a real thing, in case you're wondering whether I'm just losing my marbles. Every once in a while I feel this need to cry and stay in bed all day. I'm pretty used to it, but it would be gone by now if the damn sun would shine and the rain would stop. Okay, enough about weather. This is not, after all, an elevator convo.

002 /// My life has been quite boring lately, if I'm being completely honest. I'm afraid to say this but...I need friends. That's right. At this point I can honestly say I have very few friends and the ones I have, we only hang out in college. So that's that. I think I'm just too self-conscious right now to socialise. Which brings me to my next subject.

003 /// I'm starting a diet today. Today is when I stop making excuses and start doing something instead of just (mentally) complaining. I really need to find the strength and, once again, the discipline to accomplish this. I love writing lists and settings goals, but when it comes to diet and exercise, I simply do not comply. Anyone on a diet who'd like to give me some pointers? Most welcome!

  1. oh gosh, i can completely relate to point number one. my mood swings are induced by the fact that even though it's in the 80s in denver, i'm still stuck in bed sick! i'm starting to go completely bonkers. & what sort of diet are you starting? you should do weekly posts about it! that's one way to keep you on track ; )

    p.s. you look ravishing in mustard!

  14. I love your hair! You really don't need to diet lovely, you look amazing. I know what you mean on the social level, after a certain age it's also hard to make friends out of school/work/etc. Maybe try talking to a different group in college? x hivenn

  18. Cute bag!
    Yeah in Holland the weather sucks as well. The weather can be great for a couple of hours, but still some rain everyday. You probably soon will find some good friends that are on the same level. I believe every now and then you have some periods in which it's hard to be with the same persons over and over. Some really good friends will survive such periods with you and will become your bestfriends. Well, maybe instead of going by subway, train or bus, start by walking, it will help for your condition and then maybe an other eating pattern will follow. Just be happy ;) go figure out what is still missing in your closet for summer, maybe it will cheer you up.
    Looong comment, I know.

  22. Cute bag. I don't think you need to go on diet to lose weight, just food in moderation. A lot of us on here, who are bloggers we not always the ones that are popular in real life, and only have few friends. And you are more than welcome to talk to me, email etc. So don't be a stranger my little fashionista.x

  23. Ai rapariga como eu te compreendo!! Este tempo mata-me, já. Gosto disto mo Outono, agora já chega, preciso de sol. E as dietas, uiui... já desisti, sou fraca. E infelizmente parece que cozinho bem demais para o meu próprio bem. Ahh, the friend issue. Como ser antisocial mas que adora uma boa confraternização que sou, percebo o teu drama. Mas cheira-me que o meu é ainda pior, muahahahah! És nova, rapariga, love and accept yourself as you are, de certeza que há por perto um monte de gente que adoraria hang out with you! Beijocas e as melhoras deste tempo feio.

  31. If you self cons and you thik diet will help you then I've got tips:D I'm highly motivated if I really want something so you need to decide if you really want to be on diet and stick to it. I tried many diets also on my hubby and the onethat works best is the one when you loose around 0.5 to 1kg a week. No need to cut calories, just eat 5 times a day at the same time, no more than 1800-2000 kcal a day, prepare your food and don't buy ready meals, no sugar (cut fruits too!), low fat and voila :)
