A short love story...

by Teresa 28. November 2011 18:46

I have been craving a pair of sequined short shorts ever since I saw this editorial with my favourite rock'n'rolla Erin Wasson. One option were were the Zadig & Voltaire ones, but at 1700 dhs they felt a bit like an extravagant purchase. I don't mind paying for investment buys but I have a feeling that sequin hot pants might be something more of a brief love affair.

 

Imagine my joy when I stumbled upon those babies at ZARA's teenage department. (That place is a bloomin' treasure chest). Sold! I have already worn them twice and can't wait to uppload outfit photos! 

Irres-Istanbul!!!

by Teresa 21. April 2011 14:43

Arrived to Istanbul last night and despite that I am super tempted to get out there and DISCOVER, because I am swampeed with emails and deadlines I decided to write off today as an office day.

The city outside my window and the glittering shores of Bosphorus look oh so tempting. My camera and I will have a good day tomorrow - I can feel that! Butterflies in my tummy  - similar to the ones you get before a day with a special someone. Well I got myself a hot date with Istanbul City tomorrow!


My hotel room isn't shabby though so I don't mind staying in today.

The entire hotel has a super cool retro vibe to it - the hallway looks like taken out of Mad Men. Amore to that!

Since I put the PRO in 'procrastinate', instead of getting any work done I am reading the guide to Istanbul, munching on apricots covered in dark chocolate and I just lit my Voluspa Snowflake candle. This song playing in the background.



Istanbul weather seems a bit unstable so I have brought summery dresses, lace and knits en masse.



The top is a new bargain find from ZARA - got it whilst I was in Paris and I love it because of...



The pearls all the way down the back. Tres cute.

Craving glitter.

Cravings! Glitter boots are the way to go if you want to funk up a pair of skinny jeans this season. The low heeled pair is a splurge from Giuseppe Zanotti, the high heeled ones are a spree from Asos. 

Sale alert!

Fab sale alert!


Alexander Wang's collection goes on sale at Outnet on October 18th.

Ever since the very first collection I have always loved his pieces for their simplicity mixed with an urban edge. If I can get my hands on his 2 - tone dress (as seen above) and the signature Rocco bag I'll be one happy fashionista...

Steal or spree?

Liked Kylie’s jeans from ACNE, the prime of Swedish fashion export?

 

If you can’t get your hands on the ACNE ones, look up these lookalikes from Asos.

 

A birdie that managed to escape before the cat swooped in

by Teresa 7. September 2010 15:11

So happy with my latest buys! Nothing major but just a few pieces of jewellery that I picked up during my last trip to MOE.



A vintage looking bracelet from Aldo, panther hoop earrings and the cutest long chain necklace with a birdie that managed to escape before the cat swooped in. Both H&M.

Black belt

This week's bargain is this wide suede belt from H&M. How to wear? Over all your smock dresses, for a Dita Von Tease - esque silhouette...

 

Beaded.

Check out this super 'now' etno inspired beaded necklace from ZARA.

Pair it with a crochet top like in this picture (also available at ZARA). Very Kate B/ Sienna M or KarenBritChic - the ultra inspiring blogger behind Where Did U Get That.

Miss Sixty

by Teresa 14. June 2010 18:11

I've never been a Miss Sixty kinda gal but these heeled cowboy boots really rocked my boat.


Pair them with a pair of vintage jean cut offs and and oversized tee from the wonderkid Alexander Wang. Superfly as the cool kids would have put it.

Brooches

by Teresa 30. May 2010 20:45

Stumbled upon these cute brooches as Accessorize. I'll wear them with my vintage 70's jeans jacket, oversized white tee and high waisted blue sailor trousers. Cute cute ultra cute!
