Me Myself And Shoes

Like a Glove

2012-05-26T17:16:00.000-07:00

H&M jeans, Helmut Lang T-shirt, Celine sandals, Mulberry Bayswater bag, Cutler and Gross sunglasses, Chanel Blue Boy nail polish

By the time I made up my mind to get or not to get the Current/Elliot leopard printed skinny jeans (that I'm sure many of you must have also had a crush back then) my size was out of stock. So when I saw the much cheaper version at H&M I got those without even trying them on. Surprisingly they fit like a glove and they turn every look effortlessly stylish.

Over the Weekend

2012-05-22T12:09:00.000-07:00

American Apparel shirt, H&M leather shorts, Louis Vuitton purse, Hermes bangle, Cartier Love necklace, Very Gavello pendant.

A bunch of random fashion related and unrelated shots from the weekend.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on that little scull pendant. Isn't it cute?

Waves

2012-05-13T16:47:00.000-07:00

H&M top, Stefanel pants, Celine sandals, Alexander Wang bag, Prada sunglasses

Loving the wavy finish of this top. I wonder why I have left it hanging in my closet since February without giving it a try.

Crop

2012-05-08T12:16:00.000-07:00

H&M leather vest, Helmut Lang T-shirt, Ralph Lauren cropped jeans, Alaia shoes, Chanel clutch bag, Hermes bracelhet, Cutler and Gross sunglasses

I don't really like cropped jeans. These were exclusively purchased to "serve" my Alaias.

Today

2012-05-03T14:55:00.000-07:00

Zara dress, Mulberry Bag, Steve Madden shoes, Hermes bracelet, Chanel-Coco Blue nail polish.

I cannot recall the last time I got dressed faster than today. Here is another reason to love this dress.

Current Contrast

2012-04-29T03:08:00.000-07:00

American Vintage Silky Tank Top, T by Alexander Wang Skirt, Zara Jacket, Celine Shoes, Basewater Mulberry Bag, Iosselliani Necklace
Out for lunch. Wearing my Celine sandals with a military (kind of) parka that proved indispensable for the transitional season.

Long Break

2012-04-24T13:58:00.001-07:00

Zara knit, H&M leather shorts, Alexander Wang bag, Sam Edelman boots
It was a long but much needed break! Hope you guys excuse my absence.
There have been too many changes for me to easily adapt to.

Casual Friday

2012-02-10T15:49:00.000-08:00

Zara blazer, shirt and scarf, Stefanel pants, Alexander Wand bag, Converse sneakers, Cutler and Gross sunglasses

My own interpretation of "Casual Friday".

Happy Weekend.

The Combo

2012-02-06T13:05:00.000-08:00

Pinko jacket, Asos vest, American Apparel shirt, Stefanel pants, Sam Edelman shoes, Alexander Wang bag.

Wearing all my favorites. The usual leather jacket and fur vest combo (that seems to work with almost everything) over my AA shirt.

Have a nice week dolls! Thank you for your warm welcome back on my last post.

Easy Going

2012-02-02T08:47:00.000-08:00

Zara blouse, JBrand jeans, Converse shoes, Alexander Wang bag, Cutler and Gross sunglasses

These were taken a week ago, before the current cold wave hit Europe. I miss those winter sunny days when I could carelessly stroll down the beach in my sneakers, with no jacket. I also missed you guys. Somehow I feel like I have neglected both my blog and you. Hope to make up.

Xmas Shopping

2011-12-22T15:19:00.000-08:00

Zara knitwear, H&M leather shorts (not very visible), Pinko leather jacket, Alexander Wang bag, Sam Edelman boots.

I love Xmas shopping, oh well, who am I kidding, I love shopping anyways. This is what I wore today while playing my favorite game.

As for my Xmas plans. This year I invited my family at my new place. I hope to do my best as the hostess. So what are you guys up for Christmas?

A day in Chamonix

2011-12-16T11:07:00.000-08:00

Back home in an absolutely Christmas mood! Planning to spend the Weekend decorating for the Holidays.
During our staying in Milan we decided to rent a car and visit the Alpes. We passed the Italian French borders through the Mont Blanc Tunnel and stayed for a day in Chamonix.
Although this doesn't look like an outfit post I guess I couldn't avoid sharing with you these dreamy white landscapes.

Milan

2011-12-13T12:31:00.000-08:00

(J Brand jeans, Souvenir T-Shirt from NY, Asos faux fur coat, Alexander Wang bag and boots)

If you are reading this, it means that your computer didn't crash out while trying to download my page. Milan besides of a shopping paradise proved to be extremely appealing to my camera lens.
Here I am walking around Milan's Historical Center, Visiting the Duomo Cathedral, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Teatro alla Scala and doing some "serious" shopping in Montenapoleone, Via San' Andrea and 10 Corso Como.
I'll get into details soon.

Starting Point

2011-12-11T10:25:00.001-08:00

I normally hate crowded places but that doesn't apply to airports. I actually love airports…it sounds crazy I know. It must be my strong passion for traveling that makes me feel this way and some brain chemical reaction happens every time I get there. So here I am at the starting point of my new journey back on Tuesday. Wearing my new Cutler and Gross sunglasses and holding my largest suitcase almost empty. Well that is necessary when going to Milan.

It's been a while...

2011-12-10T08:20:00.001-08:00

Hi there! Hope you still remember me. I don't blame you if you don't. It has been a long time since my last post. So much has happened since then. Well, first of all I'm almost moved into my new house downtown. Moving and decorating is a fun but also stressful procedure. And I leave this subject right away because you don't want to hear me talking about refrigerators and sofas for hours. Besides, I’ll show you guys pictures soon.

For now. I'm in Milan. And I have already thousands of pictures to share with you but a terrible internet connection. So let me just show you this amazing bangle that I received right before my trip to Italy and I can't take off my arm. It's a little masterpiece from Dyrberg/Kern and their outstanding "Cinematic", A/W 2011 collection. Hope you guys like it and stay tuned because I have some really exciting news.

*Hint: It's probably what you think it is.

Ciao

Eye Definition

2011-11-09T14:48:00.000-08:00

Random shots while trying my new Preen Line dress at home. It deserves some better shots I know,

so for now just focus on my new obsession, the retro winged eyeliner style.

Winter Calling

2011-10-30T15:37:00.000-07:00

Topshop aviator jacket, Stefanel knitted vest, Divina horse riding pants, Sam Edelman boots, Alexander Wang bag

Yesterday I got my aviator jacket back from the dry cleaning and immediately rediscovered all the reasons it has been last year's favorite.
Still looking for a new option though. Looks like the standards are high.

Elixir

2011-10-23T16:20:00.000-07:00

H&M sweater and cuff, Stefanel pants, Jimmy Choo pumps, Alexander Wang bag

I love beauty products but when it comes to hair I'm somewhat clueless. My hair is very thin almost baby-like so I avoid using any kind of treatment or styling products because they instantly make my hair look heavy. A few days ago L'oreal sent me their Elixir Ultime by Kerastase. After I got over how beautiful the packaging is, I thought I 'll give it a try. The result: Smooth and frizz free hair. In other words a little hair miracle!

Cozy Sunday

2011-10-11T09:36:00.000-07:00

H&M sweater and cuff, Stefanel pants, L.A.M.B. shoes, Prada sunglasses and handwoven earrings thanks to my beautiful and talented friend Simoni from Simoni Textiles.

The weather is getting more and more chilly out there. And I just love it!

On Sunday afternoon, for the first time this season, I slipped in a cozy sweater a couple of sizes larger.

I was dreaming of this moment, I swear.

Half Leather

2011-10-06T12:40:00.000-07:00

Zara Blazer, Stefanel pants, Alexander Wang bag, Jimmy Choo pumps, H&M cuff

These new leather front pants look like the perfect fall upgrade to my beloved shorts. I'm planning to wear them with blazers and jackets in the style of Emmanuelle Alt or slightly oversized sweaters for a cozier outcome. Teamed up with a killer pair of high heels - perfection.

ALAiA

2011-09-28T12:43:00.000-07:00

Every time I get a new pair of shoes, I feel like it's the best one I own. That is, until I get the next one. And the next one. And the next one...

Hopefully that won't happen with this one. Besides it's my first Alaia.

White Simplicity

2011-09-24T13:56:00.000-07:00

Zara dress, Celine shoes, H&M cuff, Prada sunglasses

The story goes like this: Today it was my bf's niece's christening. It was just yesterday when I realized I had nothing to wear for the occasion so I went out to find a dress. After visiting all my favorite upscale shops and trying countless dresses, I checked my watch. Cold sweat overtook me. It was 9:50 and I had 10 minutes to find a dress! 9 minutes later I stepped hopelessly into Zara. I grabbed the first dress I saw and tried it on while the loudspeakers announced that the store was now closed.

This is how I ended up with this simple dress but so pretty on its own.

Metal

2011-09-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

I just couldn't wait until my next outfit post to show you this absolutely awesome silver tone cuff I picked up yesterday at H&M.
