This little black dress from H&M is the perfect blank canvas. I love the lenght, the simplicity, the price... But most of all, how utterly comfortable it is. It's flattering without showing too much skin or being constricting. I'm gonna wear this dress like half of the summer.
I love this jacket and I'm so happy to show it off to you in this summery ensemble - luckily the weather's quite cool these days. It's a traditional garment from Transylvania, beautifully handmade and to top it all, it's probably older than me.
This next one is rather a stupid shot, but you can see how the lining of the jacket is made using two totally and absolutely different materials. Quaint, ha? That's why I love it!
I'd like to thank each and every one of you who left me nice comments and good advice about my poor back. It feels much better now - I swim a lot, do excercises and still sleep on the floor. (However horrid sleeping on the floor sounds, it's actually really comfortable.) Apart from the water taking out almost all the colour of my hair, which I don't really mind anyway, I'm happy about my progress. Thank you again for your kindness!
And now for something completely different: If you use Chrome you might not be able to see Disqus comments, so cannot make any either... Please do not despair, and change to incongito mode, where everything will work (click on the wrench thing in the corner and choose opening a new page in incongnito mode). Really upsetting, I hope they work something out soon... I love reading your comments so anything that hinders you from writing is my enemy.
I'll keep stalking Disqus about it. In my scary dark sunglasses.

Hey Nikki, maybe we have the same dress. :) It has a tiny pocket on the chest that you can't see here.
I'm glad you could see the comment form and leave a comment! I hope not too many people have this issue with Chrome I have... There were some writing to them about it on Twitter. Glad it doesn't affect you! :)
Have a great holiday! :)
Wow, such stunning details on that jacket!
It's such a lovely dress! And I also love the Jacket on it ^-^

It's amazing handywork, love it...
Thanks Ruby, the dress is really worth buying if you pass an H&M, it's on sale. :)
I really love that jacket! It's beautiful, i love all detailing and the slightly puffy sleeves! What a great find. xxx
Some old Trasylvanian ladies still wear these jackets out on the streets, they look so beautiful. Worn with a big skirt they create a very flattering silhuette, even for a 70-year-old. :)
Hi Madeline!! You're right, the dress and jacket are great! Especially the jacket, it's so cool it has two different linings hehe.
Glad to know your back is better, maybe you should buy a new mattress hehe, one of those that are orthopedic.
Bye!!
I love the detail on the dress, its such a nice black dress too.
PS I just realized you're from Budapest, thats where my family is from!
Hi Madeline,
I'm just catching myself up on your blog : ) Lovely posts as usual!
That jacket is fantastic! Sometimes I just want to live life in a black dress (I have the same one from H&M!) with red lips, red nails, and sunglasses. There is something just too cool about that look. You made it your own! Nice work!
xoxo

Haha, the lining makes the jacket really special. :)
That's great that your family is from Budapest! Wow! Have you ever visited?
Hey, so glad you found me again! I'm wondering how many thousands of girls will wear this same dress this summer! It will be fun to spot it all over the streets. :)
I stopped using GFC, but now I finally follow you through Bloglovin, so I won't lose your blog again! :)
Thank you, Isabella!
Such a cute jacket! :) Keep on swimming, it does so much good for your back.

Awww that is the cutest cardigan!!!
And I love that the lining inside is different, such details always get me and make me more susceptible to buying them hehe. ;)

Love your jacket!! :) x
Thank you Vicki, and welcome back! :)
I know, quirky details are the best - even more so if they're sort of hidden - just for the wearer. :)
Thank you Ambre, sure I will!
That jacket is AMAAAZING. I would probably distract you with something shiny so I could steal it. But then I'd feel bad and give it back. Eventually...
No I haven't gone to visit yet. Possibly someday!
Also, the Zara dress from my most recent post is from last summer but I bought it at a sale during December.
I need a workhorse dress like that! It's not belted, just looks like that in the waist, right? Love the cute little pattern on your jacket.
I love your dress and that jacket is the perfect touch! You look great!

Haha, Maya, I'd totally lend it you. If you DO give it back. Eventually. :)
That's a belt, which is actualy so big on me it goes around my waist twice. :) But it's such a nice colour!
The jacket's pattern is typical Transylvanian, I love the small embroidered flowers they put on almost every item of clothing.
Thank you, Darling! :)
Great outfit I really like the sunglasses!

ahh, this jacket is to D.I.E. for! so unique and... just lovely! ♥ I adore your hairstyle too :)
Thank you! :) Some traditional clothes are easily incorporated into modern style - I wish I had more pieces!
According to you, you bought it cheaper than you expected. For me, it doesn't look like cheap. It's cute.
