Real: Stripes in Paris, what a surprise

I've always loved stripes and this blazer in particular. I have just found that it works with casual outfits, layered over a blouse for work, and for everything else in between. I have bought this one a while ago in H&M but have found that they have a very similar one in stores now too (I believe it's $49.90 so you better get to it fast!). 

It works great with my lace-up zara booties which I can't live without (or go two posts without wearing) and my favorite skinny jeans (I wrote about them here). Layer some gold jewelry, and my leather bracelet I have bought in Joe Fresh a few months ago (for which I constantly get compliments for because everyone thinks it's Hermes, giggle). 






 I'm wearing:

Stripped blazer - H&M
Dark wash (super) skinny jeans - Abercrombie
Shirt with lace sleeves - Forever21
Lace-up boots - Zara
Black patent leather chain bag - Zara
Layered necklace - H&M
Leather cuff bracelet - Joe Fresh

Real: Pink and bling

There is no better way to spend a sunny Sunday than with dear friends, walking around Central Park and the village, eating ice cream and quesadillas. I chose a very girly outfit for the day. My obsession with costume jewelry continues on. I got this amazing piece in forever21 for very little (shopping link bellow!). I wear it with everything, from a graphic tee to a sheer blouse for going out. 







Necklace: Forever21 - $14.80
Shirt: Bershka
Jeans: Zara Trf 
Pink Ballerina flats: Stradivarius 
Bag: Zara
Rings: H&M and a gift
Sunglasses: RayBan

Please give me your stuff: Jessica Alba

You might be thinking, why her? I think the photos will tell the story. I dislike picking those celebs that have their clothes constantly picked out by stylists as we don't really know what is actually their style, don't we? I prefer the paparazzi shots (however disturbing it might be to think of someone being constantly followed and photographed, but if I was getting millions, I wouldn't mind, stop bitching celebs, they are giving you free publicity). Those pics are the real deal. Showing them go in and out of grocery stores, children's classes, doctor's appointments and all those freaky little places where you wish nobody would EVER photograph you. It serves the purpose though. It show celebs in their every day outfits which they have picked out themselves. (This is the reason Britney Spears will never be in this section, because of this). Also, you can clearly notice the pattern - the items that define their style.






What defines Jessica's style


Accessories (and lots of them) - this girl is not afraid of a scarf and a hat. Actually she wears them all the time. They match her glasses, flats, bags etc. They warm her up and give a casual feel to all her outfits. We can actually conclude she is obsessed with them. Maybe people can learn from this. And of course - her fedora. In winter or summer.
I especially love when she doubles up - scarf and a hat. That's daring and magnificent. When done right as in the first photo of the second row (stilettos!!)












Colors - She embraces them. Cuddles them. Rocks in them. Enough said.




Blazers (+scarves) - The only piece of outfit that I could die without. I dare you to find a good replacement. I dare you!




Jeans (and pants of all sorts) - There is only a handful of pics of her in dresses, excluding the red carpet section bellow.



Layers - she loves to pile them on, as any scarf loving person does (me, me, although I am sincerely cold all the time except in July and August).




All of the above (scarves, hats, colors, blazers, jeans and layers) - these were too good to leave out.

Skirts and long dresses - some minority garments in her wardrobe. They are probably the first to be deported in the spring cleaning. Just a horrible joke. Every post needs one.



And now... TA DA DA DA! (whaaa whaaa ... pump it up pump it in and let me begin..; who gets it, gets it)


Exactly what you have all been waiting for. The fully staged, sparkling red carpet looks.



If you can pick a favorite from this mush, leave it in the comment bellow (I'll take 5th row, 3rd to the left as the description, just don't write - the one with the scarf, sigh).
But I do like her style, or she wouldn't be in this section. I am just in a sarcastic mood today.

cmok!

Wish list: A&F super skinny jeans

My perfect jeans
ah
Have you ever been on a quest for the perfect jeans? Well, I have definitely found mine last winter, when I have finally succumbed to trying on a pair of Abercrombie jeans. I always thought they were extremely over-priced and too mainstream, cool kids on the block type. But man oh man, they fit like a glove. No gapping in the back, didn't even need to shorten them (size 2S), they didn't flatten my bump... all in all... jeans paradise. They are pretty much the only ones I wear. From casual friday's at work, with a sweater on a cold sunday, to high heels and blazers. It was the most expensive pair of jeans I have ever bought, but they were so worth it (this should give you an idea of how little I pay for clothes even though I am a shopaholic). Here they are in a bit darker version than the ones I have. Added to my wish list. Dot. 


I encourage you to find your perfect pair. They are worth it.


P.S. I am secretly (or not so secretly) making a wish list for anyone that wants to buy me a birthday/christmas present. Both are coming up. Wink Wink.
