You're in the army now!

It seems like military trend is planting itself firmly in the world of fashion this upcoming season and I'm so glad that it is! Even if I've never had anything camouflage in my wardrobe (the closest approximation being a summer tote that was part of some promotion at Neiman last year), I always loved a 19th century-inspired cropped military jacket - with embroidery, of course! It makes an istantly fab outfit if combined with tight pants, tall boots or even classic pumps. So many things to try (on)!
My take on military trend (leather pants from Blank, jacket from La Rock - both bought at Cusp, belt from Nanni and my long-loved booties from Goffredo Fantini)

Antonio Banderas mood: Z vor Zappos!

Spring cleaning and amazing closet finds

Spring cleaning is usually extremely boring. It's one of those things that you have to do yet tend to avoid for like ever until you just can't push it any further. Pretty much like doing taxes. But! Sometimes in the depths of your closet amazing things can be found - stuff that you couldn't find, forgot that you even had or thought you'd lost during one of those moving-ins/outs.
My recent find - Wills Fancy crocodile print pumps. I bought them a few years ago (when Zappos still offered good bargains) but didn't have a chance to wear much.

It was another trully spring day yesterday so we went for a walk in Central Park, me wearing my newly-found Will's Fancies. Naturally, I took the camera with me, too and my fiancee was taking pictures until he nearly drowned the poor device in the pond. I got the hint:)
