Decisions, Decisions...

Going to a party with a 1920's-theme tonight but I'm having trouble deciding on what look to go for. Here are the two options, sweet and girly with pearls or edgy with black and red. It's in a few hours so time will tell and I'll take pics and show you the final decision later!

 

The Other Day

Jacket, DKNY
Blouse and pants, H&M
Belt, Zara
Bag, Mulberry
Shoes, Chloé

Don't pince me cuz I don't wanna be awake...

Inspired by yesterday's Louis Vuitton-feel, I dreamt up the perfect spring-outfit! Unfortunately this isn't my property yet(!) but if I keep dreaming of it, hopefully it will be very soon! LOVE the parakeet-print! Need this. Desperately. 

Of course from the ever-fabulous H&M...

Party in Pastels

The truth of the day has got to be that fashion can be available for everyone! I went window-shopping at H&M today and I immediately noticed the new pastel collection (see pics below). Very pretty and feminine, it was quite reminiscent of the S/S12 collection at Louis Vuitton, proving that keeping up with current trends doesn't have to end with an empty savings account. Every season the low-budget chains keep excelling and regarding clothes, I personally prefer to have plenty of outfits that don't cost a bundle and then complement them with high-end shoes and purses. So now that I've proven this availability, there are no excuses not to have fun with fashion... 

...no matter whether your wallet demands budget or luxury.

La Città Eterna

At the Spanish Steps

I just realized that my blog wasn't up and running when I went on a February weekend trip to my absolute favorite city in the whole wide world, ROME! The culture, language and food fascinate me more and more everytime I go to Italy and in Rome it is defintely the most prominent with all the historical landmarks spread out across the city. My parents, my friend Karin and I had a glorious four days filled with all of the previously mentioned and it was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I was strutting the streets of the eternal city, enjoying the fabulous weather in my relatively new coat from Miu Miu and a pair of Prada sunglasses perched up on my head.

The P in Prada...

...stands for pastels and pleated skirts this season. I've already expressed my love for the S/S12 Prada collection but I thought I'd show you some of my own pics! These 50's-style skirts are very cute, especially in low-key colors. But something to keep in mind is that there is a fine line between matronly and fashionable in this case. So in order to avoid the previously mentioned and bring some youthful edge to the outfit, I would pair that skirt with high heels and maybe a cool top or say a statement piece of jewellery. The fierce heels from Prada are hard to match, but too amazing for words in my opinion! Only Miuccia could pull off designing a pair of these! Nevertheless, if I owned a pair of these works of art I would put them in a glass case and be able to die happy.. Just saying.

I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!
Enough said.

The contrast that the cigarette creates
against the softness of the feminine
shoe and the mouth is fabulous!

Friday

This is what I wore when going out on Friday and I am absolutely in love with these snakeskin pants! Of course I went to my go-to fashion-provider H&M for this new outfit, both the pants and the top are available in stores now. Paired with Steve Madden-heels and a vintage Dior clutch.
