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.

Don’t trust that innocent ham-face smile, I am truly a deceitful scumbag with a potty mouth. I don’t actually swear, but you’ll realise a 10 minute conversation will leave you curiously feeling like you need a brainshower.

Some people asked me I really walk around like this in London. Yes and no – it’s about 12C/54F in London these days and growing up in Warsaw that’s incredibly warm – the other day I wanted to march out with sandals. I did wear a trenchcoat with this.

The heels on those boots don’t look high, but don’t let it fool you – it’s the highest pair of heels I own. Not in the sense of how much higher airspace you have, but the fact that it has no platform with 4.25inch heels. O to the U to the CH.

    omg I have a pair of retarded red Chloé boots that I CANNOT wear because there is no platform. The only time I wore them out, I literally hobbled home yelping in pain even though the heel is a measly 4 inches. eh.

    BTW i am totally deceived by your “innocent ham-face smile”!! hehe. What is it with korean girls and their potty mouths. i can relate :p

    Aww so innocent yet dangerous…lol…I’ve been obsessed with finding a 5″ inch heel and higher but nothing has caught my eye. I’m sure I’ll be nicely plopped down everywhere I go.

    ahh, I understand! Stay strong though, because they look amazing. And I love the color of your nails, it’s a great touch.

    Oh and no i didn’t mix my nailpolish myself..it’s nice yah? it’s one of my fav. colours right now, I got it from Urbie over here in NY..not sure if you can get it in london but if not then you can buy the brand here:

    finally someone addresses the ultimate secret of fashion bloggers – isn’t it a bit chilly for that outfit? i have total cold weather phobia (unless snow is involved, i’m weird like that), and it just gives me shivers to look at their dainty bodies and garments when they brave the freezing streets for our benefit.

    i’m so bad with heels, i tend to live in flats, so for me those boots would have me on my hands and knees crawling around town!

    OH GOD!! the layers are just to die for. and the color palette is so clever. even your nails say, I tried just hard enough. and I look really, really fucking cool.

    So, London! Have you lived there your entire life? I think I left my heart there at the local M&S last year studying abroad

    The sweater over the cardie is adorable. So anyway, I’m not a magician, I bought two pairs and as I forgot to take a before/after pic of the black pair, I had to use the beige pair. Haha!

    I should have told you that I dyed them, lol!

    I know the painful feeling! You never cease to look incredibly fabulous so it’s definately worth it. The texture of your sweater is so good.
