I'll try

I 'll try to be nicer...

only if you try to be smarter.

Uncomfortable situation

Nobody likes to find or place themselves is an uncomfortable situation.

But sometimes these cannot be avoided.

The class I attend to in the university is coming to an end

and we have a final paper and presentation to do as a group.

My group is made up by 5 women: 

a public servant, a nurse, two teachers and me.

Two of them kind of disappeared in the process and I 

gave them the bad news: they had to find another group

because we had finished the paper. 

(actually we're 60% done, we have done all the research - it's due in a week)

One said she would do the powerpoint and presentation ?!

That's easy: just read all we had done and that was it.

It did not seem fair.

As you can only imagine - it was an awful situation to be in and they 

were both very upset to say the least.

After they left, one of the other group participants said she was remorseful.

So, I started to feel kind of bad, specially because I did most of the talking.

But, then I figured out I should not be responsible for someone else's lack of  work ethic or responsibility.

As a nurse or as a teacher - you should have your act together by now.

Besides, we're all just starting - this automatically sends a message for future group work:

you work, you're in - you don't: you are out.

Good riddance.

Doctor ?

Is there anything in particular you associate WHITE with ?

I don't.

For me white is just a marvelous canvas.

Apparently other people relate it to other things,

like being a nanny (here nannies wear white uniforms)

or being a doctor.

Today someone asked me if I was a doctor.

It's the second time it's ever happened.

Both times I was wearing white .

The first time I was in a hospital and a lady kept telling me 

I was her father's doctor and insisted I go see him.

She was so convinced I was her 

father's doctor, I almost believed it !

Lucky Pastels

Another look from the September 2011 issue of Lucky magazine.

Back then the pastel trend could be seen from a distance...

I liked the softness and girly feel of these pastel outfits and 

translated into my own:

Casual grey skirt - Forever 21 pink ruffly top - H&M mint belt - H&M white cardigan -
Jessica Simpson snake print shoes - Emilie M. mint bag  

Simple and comfortable :)

Past season

Yes, I begun my week with an inspired by look from
Lucky's September 2011 issue.

Black trousers - Forever 21 Blue button down shirt - Green jacket Tangerine-  
- yellow belt Forever 21- Moleca black suede shoes - Michael Kors black bag

I have literally a pile of magazines from last year and this year 

that I have not even began to look at.

It's a "process" and I take forever to go through them,

then I mark the pages I have to go back to, either to

google an item, buy something or try a look.

As, I said it takes me some time to finish the entire process.

So I am getting today's inspiration from a six month old magazine,

which in fashion ages is probably translated to 10 years- 

So yes, the look is totally past season :)

93 years

I went to a birthday today.
Someone turned ninety three.

The screw

The "screw" is the name most people in my city call
one of the country's newest landmarks: a screw like building.

Michael Kors black bag - Vintage scarf

It's a new office building that can be seen from a lot of places in the city.
At first, I hated it - now I am growing a little, just a little - fond of it.
