Funny pictures

Was looking through our photos today and found a few interesting ones.

Better late than never, or leather leggings

One of the trends that I wanted to try this upcoming spring but wasn't particularly sure about was leather leggings. Last fall, I saw quite a few girls in the street of Manhattan wearing them together with long (or extra-long) boots and short coats or shearlings and it looked great. And I wanted that too! However, out of the khm.... many pairs of boots that I own I couldn't find anythings suitable for pairing with something as avant-garde as leather leggings.
Until one day I looked at my favourite black leather boots that somehow I tend to wear most often and realized that I should do closet-shopping more often. That was the answer I was looking for and it has been there all the time!

Endless temptations

It's amazing: every time I decide to go frugal (happens about a few times a month) there inevitably going to be yet another sale with some of my favourite designers and I will yield in again - inevitably so. Even if I do my best and avoid walking past Saks, Bergdorf, or down Madison Avenue in general one or two of those places (or more) will inevitably reach me through e-mail (which I cannot not check) still offering coupons, discounts and other stuff a gal just can't resist.
Today, it was theoutnet's turn to try to trick me into swaying away from the path of frugality. And they sell Brian Atwood shoes for whom I have very tender feelings.

I can proudly say that so far, all I have been doing is windowshopping. But the sale is for a whole week...

Rene Caovilla: leopard'n lace

Recently, the I-must-have-it item was personified by the most amazing pair of Rene Caovilla boots which I saw at Yoox (which should probably be banned from my computer), struggled over for about a week and predictably surrended to in the end. Figures.
They are actually transparent the shuft being made of lace.

They also represent my contribution to the ever-popular animal print trend that I have been rather indifferent to till recently but am gradually discovering now. Hopefully it'll stick for a while longer 'cause I like it!

The last picture is not me (or has anything to do with the boots) - its' just sooo cool!

Going green

There are things that you buy and wear forever. There are other things that somehow end up in the closet/ top shelf/ end of the very last drawer. Yet there are these strange pieces that you tend to forget all about until you stumble upon them and voila - for days after, your outfits will be revolving around them. Strange, eh?
A perfect examples of such clothes is this coat from La Redoute which I bought a couple of years ago and saw in my closet a couple of days ago.

As it turns out, I have quite a few matching pieces so if it doesn't rain I will be going green for the next few days or so.

The main accessory - Babay.

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:)

 

It's spring!

We had another truly spring day - nice, warm and very sunny! Of course, I couldn't miss on the opportunity to wear something that has been sitting in my closet fo what seems like ages waiting for the weather to change. I'm just sooo tired of puff coats and winter boots! I wanna wear heels, mega-minis and forget the phrase "bundle up" - at least for the next half a year or so.

Soon, everything around is gonna be like that - nice and green!

Say... the opposite of "cheese"
