OUTFIT: Lace, Leather, Cuffs and Gloves

Some subtle creativeness styling-wise today, I layered jewelry (cuffs) on top of the gloves (I am a layering maniac after all so not even gloves are safe) and another subtle modifying is in the Zara skirt, the skirt is a long (floor) length skirt with slits on the sides (yes, I have the same skirt in white too!) So I simply folded/draped up the skirt and tucked it in for a wrapped mini effect.

New York Shopping ~ Part 1

 

1st part of my New York Shopping haul! I was so lucky that I was not only flown into New York City by Manhattan Cosmetics and Joy Magazine to host 2 lucky contest winners on a personal shopping spree but I got a shopping budget myself as well ^_^ Oh boy Oh boy!

I already felt so spoiled by staying in a lush Hotel so the Shopping Spree was as icing on the cake!

As you can imagine I went like quite the tornado through Manhattan to visit all my favorite stores in 2 days!

On my way to Chinatown for the Bunny Iphone case I passed the Aldo store where I saw these lace espadrilles in the Window! Not quite the Valentino ones but close enough for $45! Another close fit would be the see-through lace espadrilles from Jeffrey Campbell (at shopbop and freepeople) but those are more of a natural-yellow collor and not as white!

And then back up on Broadway making stops at TopShop and a few other stores before going to Urban Outfitters where I found the Daisy Sunglasses and the ~OMG~ Shark duffle bag! Maybe "Jaws" needs some sequin pimpin' but even without the pimpin' it's one of my favorite new pets!

OUTFIT: new Isabel Marant Coat

I finally found my dream coat and it was on Sale!! I felt so lucky! So no need to say this new Alpaca wool toy made styling a lot more fun! Girly looks make so much more sense with a gender-bending coat! I'm wearing my Alexander Wang button up shirt under a lace dress, just the collar peeping out. It really gives a little nudge to a simple dress :)

OUTFIT: Tiny T-Straps

After seeing the Movie "Water for Elephants" I went straight to my closet to find these t-strap Marc Jacobs shoes again! 

They used to be my favorite shoes for really the longest time a while ago. With the soft pink pearlized leather (yes, hard to photograph) wooden heels and tiny T-Straps they kind of look like vintage dancing shoes but they would fit perfectly in with a '30s Circus Artist look as well :)

So.. uhm yes, I guess "Water for Elephants" will be my next fashion inspiration! And not only Reese her looks but I really like the Menswear as well for outfit inspiration! I guess I have some shopping to do especially for the menswear looks which will be hard to find in a size Small...

Choco no4

Last day in Modica, Sicily

Still enjoying every last bit of this City and of course most of all the Chocolate, haha
We spent so much time figuring out every possible way to bring back the chocolate but the truth is.. it wouldn't survive the 40 degree celcius heat and with that the 4 hour car ride to the airport :(

So in the end we had some massive laughs goofing around with the Choco nb 4 bottle, and lots of choclate in between no need to say:) best part is, I don't know if anyone noticed.. but, I actually am really lazy as it comes to make-up, foundation, bit of mascara and thats it, for the Choco photo I finally got triggered into wearing some lipstick and eyeliner too, a rare sight believe me, prob the first and last make-up photo haha :)

The dress is a "prada Knock-off"from a few seasons ago by Zara, and the boots Zara too,
yeah I know a boot over-kill but thats mainly because ryan-air's 15kg luggage restictions :(
So I had to "smart pack"the trick was to find the lightest suitcase around, mostly a suitcase alone weights 5 kg!!

btw... I will make a question and answer post so you can shoot your questions :)
