peasant dress and clogs

I just know I will wear these Clogs a lot!!
Initially I wanted to wear something else today, I was thinking about my cut-off jeans, a mini dress or playsuit but somehow I woke up more body conscious then normal and just wanted to wear something really plain,easy and comfi (and oh yeah, and covering) and ended up in this H&M dress, I def knew I was going to stroll around in my new Su-Shi Clogs no matter what, no concessions there :)

Fringe, Lace and Boots

I'm totally obsessing over Fringe! I pulled out my Vintage suede fringe jacket to wear over the lace dress (Ebay) but most of the time it ended up being too hot.. and no platforms today, I went with my All Saints boots! I still think when it comes to boots All Saints, Frye and Vintage are the best to go with!

Really lusting after the TopShop Lace leotards/bodies btw, to wear with cut-off jeans but I can't figure out what kind of bra or top to wear under it to make it kind of decent??!! hmmm.....

Layering Grays

Some easy and comfi layering for today and almost everything is from the H&M,
I just wear an old light blue/gray leggings with an light blue/gray top which I layered with an old slouchy cardigan and over it a vintage oriental silver/gray jacket blouse, jersey gray scarf, PiperTree Necklace, Vintage fringe suede bag and TopShop wedges..

and this reminds me that I haven't been to the H&M in ages!! I so need to peek in to see if they have any good stuff going on!!

Fringe

Fringe Silk Scarf; Urban Outfitters, Nude Slip dress, Vintage tassle Leather bag, Low heeled clogs H&M, H&M Beaded necklace, Selfmade lace necklace, Stolen Thunder leather charm bracelet.

Fringe, Tassles, Nude and Earthy tones, Leathers and Silks, Wooden clogs = love
I'm still waiting for my new clogs to arrive but I can't say it wasn't nice to have a platform break, that was the idea but.... The old H&M sandal clogs are a nice break wasn't it that my pinky toe (yes I know, sounds stupid) got kind of stuck in between the leather uppers, don't know how to explain it but I think most will get the idea, right? so the clogs ended being not so comfi after all, haha

The bracelet is from Stolen Thunder, a new jewelry discovery of mine, braided leather with little wooden charms.

The real deal

I was so happy when I received an email from one of my readers who had read on one of my previous posts I had been looking for an Vintage Army Jacket forever without any luck , since I couldn't find any this small!!

So millions Thanks to Peggy who gifted the Jacket for my Blog's one year anniversary :) Your the best :) ( she still has one other Vintage Army Jacket in her Etsy Store bOmode )

The reason I really wanted a Vintage Army Jacket is because ones worn in and faded they absolutely have the best fit and look and will be good for more then a decade, they never go out of style since the are simply put "the real deal"... I'm soooo wearing this Jacket with skinny jeans and boots!!

Cravings

romper, top and shorts; pixiemarket, Sock Garters; SWANclothing

Nude and white dresses

Loving pixiemarket's styling with the SWANclothing sockgarters!
I have been craving nude lingerie inspired items, like the pixiemarket romper and the nude sheer dress to totally style it with the sock garters and some brogues, I was thinking about the black garters since the outfit would be pale and muted but I'm not sure yet because the white/cream ones are actually my favorite...

The pixiemarket romper is totally out of my price-league and the nude sheer dress sells only in a size medium :/ Does anyone know any other good lingerie inspired items?

A perfect dress

Last week my most perfect dress arrived from Storets, light blue, perfect fabric, comfortable, versatile, I can wear it with wedges or rough boots, belted or not belted. Today I wanted to keep it simple with a striped shirt underneath and TopShop black wedges but I can't wait to wear the trench dress in a muted gray and blue palette with the gray Topshop wedges or my all saints boots! and was thinking about maybe wearing the dress with this navy stripe loose cardigan that I'm recently eying....

All Stars

Spring means its time to get the Converse out, I don't know how many All Stars I completely trashed, I walk on them till they literally fall apart!

I love to wear them (apart from with jeans and striped tops) kind of romantic and pretty with short jeans shorts with lace cropped tops or vintage over-sized blouses and cami's with eyelets, frills, bibs, pintucks etc , crochet and lace tunics, summer frocks with frills and eyelets... everything for that vintage "romantic" prairie look but always showing lots of leg to make sure the outfit doesn't turn dull ;)

Shoe Love

My Favorite Shoes of the moment, I'm really inspired by Natural earthy colors like stone grays, beige, browns, taupe..

H&M Clogs, TopShop Wedges (with or without socks like worn Here and Here), Storets Cage shoes (that I was wearing Here)

My clogs are oldies from the H&M and I'm loving these forever since they are low heeled and easy to walk in :) and perfect with socks, TopShop has some "walkable" clog wedges too that are serious delicious but the most drool worthy clogs right now are absolutely the clogs from Su-Shi, check out her lookbook too to see the engraved leather clogs I'm totally waiting for :)
