I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Flora, partner in donut crime

Sweater – Monton, Shirt as skirt (a la Anywho)- mum’s Stefanel, Belt – Courtesy of JinYoo103684 , Shoes – Topshop, Bag – Lithuanian Market, Sunglasses – Urban Outfitters

Thank you Flora for the outfit shots!

Actually, that second to last row should have an equals sign in the middle, donuts = horse calves. The weather was illegally good today so it was only right to find an illegally great donut to accompany the almighty homicide of winter, and none other than the rose-jam-almond-shavings donuts from Chmielna street came to mind. Mother always said eating in the street is unladylike but one whiff of the donutshop and I was ready to peel off the sequins from Flora’s top (that she sewed on) just because they resembled almonds… what lady?

    I’m not too sure what horse calves are, but I’m pretty sure you don’t have them.

    Those donuts look amazing, and I wish I could have my hair as long as yours.

    Since when is eating in the street unladylike? It’s one of my favourite pastimes! But then I’m not really the paragon of ladylike behaviour at the best of times.
    You look great, I especially like the yellow shoes. They’re the perfect shade and shape for this neutral outfit.

    aww you look so pretty+ feminine + spring-y! Very lady-like, contrary to what Mother thinks. :P Ok, yeah manners are not my strong front – although, i can kinda see why she might say that… look at you, flaunting all that donut goodness in front of potentially hungry people like me!!! That’s it. Going out for mexican tonight.

    when the foods good, I’m all for eating in the street & looking grotesque while devouring whatever delicious morsel I just couldn’t save to eat in a more “lady-like” manner.
    but you look so cute with your outfit, and that donut!!! ADORE the yellow shoes!!

    This post is incredible Shini! The location is stunning, the photos are beautiful, the donut (nomnomnommmmmmmmm gimme gimme gimme), those hot legs of yours, the INCREDIBLE shoes…. ahhhhhh… now YOU look like you are having too much fun.

    Is it just me or is there a new slightly sexier park and cube emerging?! Bare legs, hair down, high heels on!? This is sooo not the Shini I know…. but I like her…

    Your legs look like they go on for aaaaaaages in that photo where you are stepping onto the sidewalk.

    I MISS YOU!! and you are gorgeous. xx

    You definitely have to try cherry-chocolate donuts, they are just incredible (although its nearly impossible even for me to eat one at once, they are sooooo sweet)
    rose-almonds were my absolutely obligatory part of daily menuuu during high school, now I’m more into Vincent’s pastries, (mainly because everything there looks so pretty and Im actually that lazy that chmielna seems to be waaaaay too far from krakowskie przedmiescie hahhaha)
