On hats and such

I finally found the right fedora, almost at the end of summer! Even though it's super-popular this season, finding a hat that wouldn't look like it belongs on somebody else's head proved to be quite a challenge. But a couple of days ago, I was passing by Laila Rowe store, walked in and a few minutes later, emerged with my very first fedora. Of course, I had to wear it right away!
The dress (found purely by chance at http://www.smartbargains.com/) represents yet another of my favourite ongoing trends - super-maxi. It is seriously long, and I have to hold it at the side while walking. If I'm not carying anything heavy or bulky, it feels quite romantic:)

Discover your rocker's side

...and your favourite wedges. I mean, my favourite wedges, of course, slightly torn by the coati but still holding up pretty good. For about three years in a row! The only problem with them is that their level of comfortness changes all the time, from your-good-'ol-slippers to gee-I-should've-opted-for-something-comfier. I'm not sure how it happens but it's a mystery allright.

Vintage-like

This outfit consists of stuff that can in all honesty be considered vintage. Well, maybe almost vintage, but give it a few more years... Well, let's not look that far into the future. Where was I? Ah, the almost vintage, right. This dress was bought about five (gee..) years ago, and so were the sandals. And so were the purse and the scarf. I'm really surprised none of it was lost during our numerous moves around two different states.

Hectic, hectic, hectic

The past few weeks have been really hectic. Frankly, so far, little has changed in that department:: projects that have enjoyed a rather unclear status for months in a row, all over sudden became very real and - the best part - each with a brand-new deadline. Oh, and have I mentioned that we are in the middle of apartment renovations? Aaaaaah!!!!!!
Anyhoo, we have been taken pictures diligently, and today, I even managed to give myself a kick and sort all of them out.
Here, I'm wearing a new hat by Leila Rowe and a new silk tunic by Adele Fado (with the combined value of $31); the rest of the outfit proved to be very versatile and have been used quite often recently.

Bloomberg building. The shape is really out-of-this-world and I remember getting dizzy the first few times I passed by. For whatever reason, you can't take pictures from within the inner plaza but cant shoot away from the street.

On second thought...

This is another dress from ideeli (www.ideeli.com) which I bought after a month's deliberation. Luckily, they have recurrent sales for certain brands, and when I saw this dress again, I decided to give it a try. I had my doubts about the waistline because I'm more used to either a belt or just an A-line but as it seems, here a rushed waist is more appropriate.
The necklace is by BCBG MaxAzria (www.bcbg.com), a site that I stumbled upon purely by chance but happen to like it a lot.

On stipes and such

I'm so glad that nautical theme is back this season! I've been in love with it for years, ever since my grandmother gave me this absolutely adorable summer sailor suite with a white mini skirt and a wide-collar striped jacket. It even had a pair of golden anchors embroidered somewhere on the side pockets!
This year, my quest for stripes started rather early, some time in January. As it turned out, though, finding a nice-looking striped anything is not that easy. However, I didn't give up and my endless browsing, both online and in stores finally started to yield some results.
This dress was found at BCBGMaxAzria (www.bcbg.com), a brand that I had never tried before and didn't know much about but they had a perfect striped dress, both in my size and on sale and I couldn't resist. Rummaging through my closet produced a pair of striped sandals that I bought two years ago but haven't worn that much. All in all, it was a good striped day (whatever that means).

A motorcycle as an accessory, red. I guess this one goes together wih the rest of the outfit better.

Now, this picture wasn't shot from behind some bush: it is the way it's supposed to be. It's artsy,-said my fiancee seeing a question mark in my eyes.

An allien cat Lola. She's not a part of our zoo but a co-owner of a local pet store. Well, at least she acts as if she might be.
