New bling

Got myself some new jewelry and figured, what the hell; I might as well bling out my nails too. So I picked up this flaky glitter nail polish that more than anything reminds me of a galaxy (or disco dip on ice cream).

Shopping: A little retro, a lot of heel

A little retro and a lot of heel means one perfect pair of boots that I'm never taking off again. (I would sleep in them if I could). It was a done deal before I had even tried them on during my trip to Antwerp and what do you know; they fit me like a glove.

PS. I wish I could have shown you a new outfit post! But I've catched a cold that I need to cure before FW and I had little to no energy to dress up and go outside. x! Yara

COS is coming

COS is opening a store in Amsterdam this fall - yes, it's official - and I've been checking their website a lot. So glad they're coming to my home town! Can't wait to stepping in every week or so, just to see what they have. (And obviously to check if that silver bracelet is in yet)

Shopping: Dreamy jacket

Gestuz leather and suede waterfall jacket
Some things I know will last forever... Like my weak spot for leather and suede - especially when combined. So that played out pretty nicely when I saw this draped jacket on Nelly. The funny thing is that I've worn it before, during London Fashion Week (seen here) and got so many compliments on it. I vowed I would make it mine when it hit stores and so I did...

September issue

Bought a few September issues to inspire me for the upcomming season. Even just looking at the ads (that fill a big chunk of the magazine anyway) is a nice Sunday activity.

The bag...

Still overly excited that this bag is finally mine. Like I told you here, I've been lusting over the Balenciaga City bag ever since I was a young teenager. Right then I secretly set out a goal to have it one day, when I was all grown up. Now that didn't happen just yet. But with my Master's degree in sight, my new job at ELLE, making my blog a profession and just generally being in a good place, I felt like I had so much to celebrate and just did it. Couldn't be happier with this purchase and it really lifts up every simple outfit.

My Balenciaga buy

I did it! After quite a lot of thinking, saving (not the best timing with my summer holiday) and designer bag debate with ELLE-colleague Iris, I finally bought this Balenciaga baby. Can you guess what's inside the dust bag? To be continued... ;)

Shopping: A tweed treasure

After spending weeks in places where fashion isn't a big priority, which can be nice as well, I couldn't help but indulge when I got back to Bangkok and visited their supersize luxurious malls. One souvenir is this red boucle jacket, with leather detailing to make it more modern. Something I think is essential with these type of jackets, they can easily be a bit too mature. My plan is to mix them with some old skinny jeans or anything leather. (But then again, that's a good wardrobe strategy for almost everything).

Classic Converse

 

Since my black and white All Stars finally gave up on me, I went on a hunt for a new pair (I used to have these but without laces). The color I wanted was unavailable, but I figured you can never go wrong with a classic black and white pair of low Converse.

My Equipment shirt

Sometimes you come across an item that you instantly fall for, and that you know will be a great addition to your wardrobe. That's what happened to me when I saw this striped blouse by the ultimate silk shirt brand Equipment. I've been wearing loose button downs for a few years now. It's something I feel comfortable in, that looks good with pretty much anything and that is right for many occasions. I think - if it suits your style - it's worth investing in a real silk shirt because it's such a basic piece. So when I came across this pure silk striped version (I first put it in my list on Fashiolista) I knew it was going to be mine. So far I'm very pleased, so I'm now considering the plain white version.

New accessories...

Two accessories... one for me and one for my iPod! Since a phone is in sight all day, every day, I better get myself a pretty cover to protect it. And it also makes me less annoyed with this phone - I have nearly no reception or internet with it and don't know what the problem is... aaargh! Stopping by Hi (my provider) tomorrow and hope they'll fix it.

What suits me

A little sneak preview... This midnight purple boyfriend blazer was a recent addition to my closet, and I bumped in to the matching tapered pants yesterday. I've never owned a two piece before, and although I probably like the items best individually it's kind of cool to have the option.

Sale season: round two

Like I said, I love combing through online shops when I have the time, especially during sale season. Nothing (in the shopping world) beats seeing an item you've been craving for, for half the price. Because I find it hard to contain myself during sale, I make wishlists and then pick favorites from that. Last week I shared my favorites from My wardrobe, this time I'm turning to ASOS, where sales have now also gone up to 50%. Which suddenly makes things very affordable - all four of these accessories are under €33 - something I think we all love. 

ps. Good news: Asos has free world wide delivery! (Not until June, which I misread, but continuously :D)

Sale season: first favorites

Sale season has started and the big 4-letter signs on every window make me want to go straight to shopping. I haven't been able to do so yet, and to compensate I'm combing through the sale sections of my favorite online stores. The only bummer about that is that it usually takes forever. So I'm now listing my favorite sale finds in collages, that I might as well share. Starting today with My Wardrobe, where sale is already up to 50% (it seems like online shows are always earliest with giving half off, am I right?)

What are you looking at?

Acne darling dress (I have this in black and cream)

American vintage blouse

My new suede shoes

I've been looking for a high street version of the perfect suede boots with a reference to the Isabel Marant boots - a tan suede pair that is easy going yet elegant enough to wear with dresses. I've found the answer in theseAggie boots and they're just as comfortable as my Pistols! They look great on my feet and I'm looking forward to pairing them with jeans, shorts and flowy dresses.(So much that I might get the black pair as well for that price... 50 euros for suede boots is not bad at all. What do you think?)

Did some iPhone shopping

I must confess, I did some big shopping yesterday... It was between the Balenciaga bag (not yet) or the iPad and then I ended up as the proud owner of an iPhone 4! I was going to wait until my Blackberry contract ends (in a long time) but woke up in a shopping spirit. The iPhone 4 suits me better than my Blackberry because of the high quality camera, photo apps and good internet options. I think, when you have the chance, it's a smart thing to invest in a good camera, laptop and phone as a blogger. After all, a lot of what we do takes place on these technological devices :) (and Angry Birds is a nice little extra)

Summer shorts

Saturday was filled with activities, so I needed a look that would suit the different things on my agenda (like a meeting, shopping, a lunch date). So I opted for an easy outfit in white, cream, charcoal and black and a hint of orange. And I took my new COS sandals out for a spin. I bought those the day before and I love the simplicity, and the leather is extremely soft and thick. (I'm afraid I got them one a little too big though!)

My YSL clutch

You might have seen my new Yves Saint Laurent clutch make an appearance in this outfit posts, but nonetheless it deserved it's own spot on the blog (it is my first designer bag after all!) It's now subtly displayed on a shelf in my closet, screaming to be taken out for a night of cocktails.

Some sweet shopping

Clicked home some items from my 'to get' list at Shopbop and found them on my doorstep just a few days later. First was a pair of office appropriate shorts - surprisingly these pure silk ones T by Alexander Wang shorts costed me just as much as my silk top from Zara. Then the tortoise sunnies I showed you here, a big cocktail ring from my last outfit post (I didn't have any gold rings!). And lastly a pair of 7 for All Mankind skinny jeggings. They look and feel like perfect dark grey skinnies but are a bit more elastic so they fit like a glove. Too bad I ordered them a bit too small... And getting a size up will cost me a lot of import taxes again. So just send me an e-mail if you're interested in those! (they are a size 27) :)

What did I get?

New sunnies

My new Deep Freeze sunglasses by Karen Walker. More pics after the jump!

During sunny days, my Wayfarers often make a guest appearance in outfit posts. To switch things up a little, and probably to compensate for the crappy weather lately ;) I ordered these sunnies by Karen Walker, one of my favorite brands for all sorts of fab frames. I went with a more square shape in turtoise because it's different from my black Wayfarers, yet still they kind of have a similar feel, don't you think?
