owwwp - love moschino!

so in love with this moschino shirt!!!
i have a thing for flamingos :-)

when at least expected...

i missed the cut out boot at zara... 
typically me: first i wasn't sure... then i wanted to wait until they were on sale - and then they were gone... 
and of course i got frustrated... 
yesterday i found a very good equivalent - totally unexpected and for a very good price!
(i didn't want to spend a fortune for such a trendy piece!)

here the comparission:
i am pretty pleased with the alternative!
(though the zara one's are still too perfect!)

friends again...

for years i was a very good customer at hallhuber - with customer card and everything. i used to snatch super bargains in their sales all the time.
'cause if hallhuber says sale - they mean it big time! 
but within the last years our fashionable relationship seems to part...
until this f/w season - where i found some cute items, coats and boots. and yesterday i found the boots i was spying on all winter in sale!! 
unfortunately my size was sold out online... so i hit the stores.
good thing we have a few in munich... and in the 3rd  store (i know, i know - crazy me!) i found them in my size! super happy now!!

*mpf*

i really hate it when this happens!!!! 
for month i be checking out and watching this item.
and when i finally made my decision to order it - this happens:

now i am really frustrated!! 
and it's not the first time this happened to me... but somehow i will never learn it!

major crush: 'winter veil' beanie

i really like hats, beanies, earmuffs - all kinds of headpieces for winter!
my latest obsession is the winter veil beanie!!
seen on http://barefootblonde.com/
(i totally adore this blonde beauty!!)
but only available at nordstrom... :-(
fortunately i found a really nice and simply diy on honestlywtf.com:
http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-jil-sander-veil-beanie/
now i only need the supplies and some sewing skills...

these boots are made for walking...

to be honest, i spend 90% of my time running around in flats!
just because it's more comfy when you run from a to b - and munich is not very high heel friendly with all its cobblestone...
my favorites for the cold season are bikerboots, uggs, and hunter wellies in black!
here are some of my this seasons favs:

h&m craziness

here we go again: yesterday, this year's h&m designer collection with isabel marant hit the shops and the craziness begun...
with color coded braclets you had the opportunity to shop the collection in store - every time slot was 15 minutes...!!
i wasn't that crazy to get up at 5 am or earlier...
so when i dropped by the shop around 9 am i received the gray braclet - which meant my shopping time slot was from 12.20 - 12.35 (it was the last time slot by the way!)
but that fitted my schedule quite perfectly as i had a hairdresser appointment that morning anyway!
i was only worried that when i am allowed to enter the restricted area at h&m nothing would be available anymore and not in my size...
and that was a fact! only very few items were still available and not all of the in my size... however, i got the white and the grey tank, the glitzy pants and some jewellery... 
same was for online shopping - the page totally broke down!!
but i finally managed to score the pumps... 
so all in all i am quite happy with my picks - i had a nice day and i am one experience richer :-)

however... i still hope i can score the boots... ;-)

blog lovin...

i think these days blogs and bloggers are the most important fashion and trend indices!
i see it myself... the time i spend browsing though the internet to get inspired... i really is like an addiction.
and also fashionwise - have you ever noticed that items that appear several times on blogs tend to be sold out very soon?
just enter 'blogger' as search term on ebay and you get thousands of items...
and even in magazines... the trend pages are filled with bloggers  - not stars and starlets anymore...
actually i like this movement, as these trends are more realstic and the items bloggers are wearing are affordable (like from zara, michael kors, etc).

do or don't... the 90ies...

after seeing this picure of the adorable harper seven i was that close to order a pair of dr. martens for me...

i need new boots for the coming f/w season anyhow - so why not jump on the bandwagon and induge some 90ies spirit...
back in the 90ies i once had boots - similar to the dr. martens (dockers - if i remember correctly) as i couldn't affort the originals with my pocket money...
but honestly... for me, the 90ies were a disaster - fashionwise...
i was wearing 'baby-spice-girl- inspired outfits (and hairstyles!!??)  *ugghhh*
so i haven't ordered yet... but i am still playing with this tought... of me wearing original dr. martens... :.)

ebay – my personal experience…

currently i am selling some stuff on ebay (to reinvest the money in fancy & expensive designer bags :-)) but somehow i have the feeling that my ‘ebay-selling’ never runs smoothly…

as i am not a frequent ebayer i am very often lost due to my missing technical skills.

e.g.:

request: can i buy the dress of your auction directly for a certain price.

me: sure!

… and then i was quite lost… how to set this transaction up correctly?1

that i receive the money and that all tasks are presented accurate…

as said: that always happens…

anytime i try to sell stuff on ebay i am very euphoric, but then – always – things pop up and i am total frustrated and it really makes me total unsecure! i don’t know why?!

i am only relieved when i received the money, the buyer received the item and the reviews are done.

but until that – i am a bundle of nerves…

you don’t want to know what happened when i tried to sell my iphone on ebay.

i did sell it – sure, but that was as well connected with huge e-mailing and workload…

so far so good – one item sold (hopefully the execution will run smoothly… just received the mail that sth with paypal is not working *ugh*) and three more to go……..

i think i am just more a 'buyer' than a 'seller' ;-)

i am officially hooked!!

ever since i bought my first expensive designer bag bag in June – i am absolutely addicted!!

back in june i spoiled myself with the michael kors jet set item chain tote in vanilla :-)

(which is not that expensive, but was a huge step for me!)

i had an eye on that bag for quite a while but never could make a decision about the color…

that is btw. my main issue with buying an expensive designer bag – i can never decide about the color!!

so… back in june i got slightly panicked that this bag will be sold out… so i ordered!!!

first i received the notification that it was sold out… and i thought: great – now that i made up my mind and finally ordered it is sold out.

i had no high hopes, but one week later a huge (really huge!?!) package was placed at my porch.

there it was… totally chic and clean, and i was immediately in love!

before i had the ‘the more the merrier’- attitude when it comes to handbags… so i have quite a collection of handbags in every color, every shape… mainly form h&m, zara, accessorize, etc.

but ever since the mk-experience i am no more interested in those bags (or to be more precise: to buy bags at h&m & co). i always think if i save that money, i can spend it for a designer bag ;-)

as you can see now i am hooked and addicted!

as mentioned i always have the color issue… the bag has to match the outfit… etc. and vanilla is not a color for the season ahead…

now I just ordered the stella mccartney 'falabella' in light grey… ooops…

and hot on my x-mas whishlist is the marc jacobs 'too hot to handle hobo' in black…

PS:  every time i run around with my mk bag – i notice a different behavior:

- on myself: i totally take care of the bag (e.g. i don’t put it on the ground)

- on others: when they give you an approving once over – i know it is mega-superficial, but somehow i receive a different perception… 

dogeared

I am a very big fan of Tiffany’s – especially the Return to Tiffany collection I like very much.

It is perfect for everyday, and for me every-day-jewelry has to stay on all the time!

Once I take it off I usually forget to put it back on in the rush of the morning that I always tend to have…

Ever since my wedding band is gold i am looking for some delicate yellow gold jewelry!

And there Tiffany is a tad over pricey…

That’s when I found dogeared:

http://www.dogeared.com/

I already have 2 delicate necklaces, the whishbone and the karma necklace.

I am a strong believer in karma! As in what goes around comes around J

And I want more!!  

Currently on my whishlist are: 

- Some bracelets as the karma bracelet and the infinity bracelet
  (I like a good armparty!)

- The infinity necklace

- The ‘pearls of friendship’ for a bday gift!

- Pearls of love for me!

- Make a wish on irish linen bracelet

current obsession: ox blood

seriously – i really have to restrain myself, otherwise i would by ANYTHING in this color!!

right now i am totally in love with ox blood.

and i have the feeling that you can combine it with any other color:

black and white (sure…), dark green, crème, nude, rose, cheetah prints, etc.

by now i already have a serious collection… hopefully i still wear this color next f/w season…

here are some items i call mine – and i am still contemplating for a leggings, another pants and a bag… typically me – i have to have it all…it’s like an addiction!

currently craving: chunky knits!

funny – last year i did not even like to wear sweaters!

and know i can’t seem to get enough of the chunky knits – my latest obsession!

especially when they are long and have some glitzy details…

in the meantime i don’t even have enough space in my closet, as chunky knits are not very space-saving… and my collection is steadily growing… and winter has not yet arrived…

what i got AdR...

so... as already mentioned i surely could not resist to hit the stores last thursday evening! 
i was really surprised to find the whole collection still available...
and this is what i got:

... the sunnies were totally unexpected! 
actually i was only focused on bracelets...

i am totally amazed by the crocodile bracelet! i am wearing it today already!

the snake bracelet for me is more for summer, because of its color.
the quality is not so good - it is a bit loose at the snake head... and of course i discovered that only when i was home already.
so the plan was to exchange it.
but when i entered the store monday evening, it looked like this collection never happened. i could not find one single blue box left... 

moka picchu

... that's what my bff called the ethno / aztec inspired skirt that i bought at zara... 

i am wearing it today for the first time - and i really like the design!
i pared it with a thin black sweater, black tights and black boots.

i am also thinking about getting the jacket, too... but maybe i wait for sale... ;-)

obsession: high top sneakers

it took a while for me to chum up with the high top sneakers, and i hesitated when buying my fist ones in UK at topshop - i went in and out of the shop like three times and tried them on twice before taking them with me... 

and now: what can i say - i totally love the trend!
the shoes are very comfy and they are not as blunt as normal sneakers.
here are the additions i plan to buy:

and yes, i go for the cheapies...

major bling...

while looking around for the peplum thing - a huge bling caught my attention...
i already knew it from some fashion blogs and after circling it about 3 times, i finally made my way to the check-out!
of course with the major bling in my hand!!
i am still not sure if i ever will wear it - 'cause honestly - it's huge... 
but i know i would have kicked myself if i hadn't bought it and its sold out a few days later... 'cause then i really need to have it... i know... addicted... 8-)
anyway, now mine:

peplum

for sure one of the next things i will buy!
these ones are from zara:

summer must have!!

one of the most important summer must haves for me are pedicured toes!! 
it is also a summer trend that will never go out of fashion!!
it just looks perfect & neat in every situation:
in peep toes, sandals or just barefoot!
this summer i discovered gel nails for my toes  - french style and i absolutely love it! for ~ 4 weeks my toes look perfectly manicured! 
i can totally recommend this :-)
