Real: Denim shirt and a white dress for the last of the summer days

One of the last warm feels-like-summer weekends in New York, I decided to wear a white mesh dress from H&M and a belted denim shirt from zara which I adore. I also finally took pics with my aldo cyphert bag which I blogged about a while back. I also wore my zara boots which just go with everything. As you can see I am obsessed with love rings as well as hearts. What can I say, I am a romantic at heart (right...).

Hope you enjoy these pics at least 1/4 of how much I enjoyed that day. Why can't the sun come back?

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.

Shirt: Bershka

Jeans: Zara Trf 

Pink Ballerina flats: Stradivarius 

Bag: Zara

Rings: H&M and a gift

Obsessed with... The Pattern Skirt

I've seen it everywhere this fall season. It brings color, mesmerizing patterns, and just a little something to clear up the gloomy skies, to warm up our colder days and to just make this season bearable. So put a plain t-shirt on top, or a heavy knit cardigan (in one color unless you are an absolute genius and know how to mix patterns), a plain silky shirt, a nice deep v-neck or anything else that comes to your mind. It doesn't have to be simple, it can have a little something here and there, just don't make yourself into a Christmas tree (I've seen plenty of that happen with such a loud skirt). If your little feet get a bit chilly, put on those dark pantyhose. They can look pretty good too!

Cheap and Chic - A Guide to Bright Accessories

I have went on color overdose at Zara the other day. My bank account was in severe pain. On the other hand, I felt great. But if you are a boring black and white person even THIS season, I suggested a quick fix - a crazy colored bag or shoe. It will brighten up any outfit, however gray scale it may be. All of these pretty cheap so I suggest buying five :). Well, not unless you are getting your paycheck the next day. Who needs groceries, right?

I will make this post short since I am longing for more than 6 hours of sleep tonight, even though the possibility of that seems unlikely at this point. Ugh. You know, I have a job (or three) and a life where I need to do stuff. But my addiction takes over. Gosh, saying this I feel like Dexter (who knows, knows).

cmok!

Obsessed with... FURRRR

Now, all those animal lovers out there. I understand. I am not making you wear fur, and the same way, you shouldn't make me not wear it :). But stay calm. I don't own a real piece of fur anyway, since they are way too expensive. So I have to get by with some look-a-likes. The trick is to find the one that doesn't look like a dead animal, but stylish and glamorous. Here are some wonderfully expensive examples... ah... the world of fantasy in magazines.

note the furryliscious Yves Saint Laurent shoes. Heaven.

With this you can have some ideas how to wear it. It can go in any combination. Actually, the more sporty the outfit is, the more I like the fur on top of it. Don't take this statement to the extremes, I'm not saying your ugly high school sweats + fur make really good babies. No no oh really No. However, play it up with jeans, military boots, a cute hat, some knits thrown on. Make yourself comfy and warm, because there is nothing that will keep you warmer than fur (for the romantics out there, if any left, love can still be the ultimate heater).

Now - the more realistic options, girls. With fur you have to be really careful. These are good options, but you don't really know what you are buying until you see it. I've found that darker furs look "less" fake. So I would say go with that. Bebe has many great faux fur options this season, not many on their online website, so hit the road ladies. 

Bebe Faux Fur Bolero Jacket - $79.99

Bebe Faux Fur Snap Capelet - $83.00

Forever 21 Faux Fur Belted Vest - $37.80

Forever 21 Two Toned Faux Fur Vest - $22.80

I'm not a big fan of the last option, two toned furs can get a big messy when they are fake. Stick to solid dark colors. 

Also, plumpier girls... I suggest you don't wear fur that just adds an extra (heavy) layer. Option for the belted version, or if you must do it, shorter one. Accentuate your good parts, not the bad ones.

A little extra for fur crazies: Fur Bags are all the craze. I saw one in H&M this afternoon but I believe Aldo has a better version, and a better quality one, if you can call it that way.

This Dolce and Gabbana one is creazy cute, even though I am not a big fan of the brand.

Let's get back to Earth
