Wish List: Shoes

YAY! I'm on a roll, two posts this week, and hopefully more to come.

Due to time issues I have to make the best out of a bad situation. I have been meaning to take pictures of my outfits this week, but something keeps happening and I am not able to! :-(

So for now, I hope you enjoy my wish lists. They are of things that I wish to purchase - but it is also a showcase of the best trends this season!

As you will notice, this is the year of the platform, ankle straps, suede, embellishments and 

GLITTER SEQUIN!!! 

Truth is, any type of unique shoe is acceptable these days 

that's why it is so fun to dress up with a different look all the time. 

My outfit most-likely starts with a pair of my favorite shoes, and then I figure out the rest. 

One day I can be in flirty mood and wear peep toe wedges and a babydoll dress, or other days I feel tough and want to put on my combat boots, ripped jeans, an oversized sweater and just go...

If anyone asked me why I love fashion so much, it is because of this. Whether we like it or not, people will automatically define you by what you are wearing, and your 'style,' even if they never talk to you.I like being mysterious, and I don't like fitting in to a specific 'type' of anything. I like trying different looks all the time so people can't be so quick to judge who I am, without really getting to know me.

Just like an actor likes playing different characters, Fashion acts like a similar mechanism for me, it's a way I can play around with different moods just by changing my clothes.

Do I have to pick my favorites out of this wishlist?
I really rather not...'cause I would gladly take them all. 

I swear I could never have enough shoes. There are soooo many different styles, it becomes too difficult to choose which one is my favorite. I can't explain it exactly. When you are deciding what jacket you want, for example, (there are many different styles) but at the end of the day, you pick the most practical one that goes with most of your things. 

Shoes cannot be chosen that way. Can you even compare a platform stiletto heel, with a black leather boot, with a ballerina flat? They are all practical, they are all needed in a girl's closet,
therefore they just can not and should not be compared.  

This is why I am forever going to have a shoe problem. I will never be able to just pick one, and even after I do make that heart-wrenching decision, I never seem certain that it was the right choice.

Wish List: Jackets

Same story, different day. Updates have been slow, as it seems my pocket can't handle endless shopping. It also has been hard to find inspiration, when you know you can't afford to buy all the new looks. It takes real skill to pick out a certain item out of all the amazing new trends and hope that it is the one that will be timeless and wearable over and over again. 

Starting my Holiday Spirit with 'wish list: jackets' I put together some of the new jacket trends we will be seeing this winter! Of course I would love all of them, but we shall see how Santa treats me this year! ahahah

My absolute favorites of this list is #'s - 1, 4, 6, and 8.
But I have to say I am loving the new shag faux fux style that is coming out this year.
Bohemian Chic feels soo good to dress up in! There is something about that era that is so artsy and expressive that is just cool to re-create.

What I forgot to put on the list is a faux fur leopard coat. That is because last winter I got one from Forever21 and luckily it is back in winter fashion, even more so than last year, therefore I didn't need to put that on my wishlist, since I already own one!

Out of all the coats, the most practical is the long trench and the black leather jacket. Those two coats can be used with a number of outfits year after year, and still look good.
So if I really had to choose, I would need to get a leather jacket. It's weird I don't already have one. And it is important that your leather jacket is light enough to be worn as an accessory piece to an outfit, and can look good in other seasons. Heavy leather jackets are only appropriate in winter.

What do you think about the jackets wish list? Which one is your favorite and why? 

Until next time, ~Happy Shopping

The Wish List

I am sorry to say I have not updated in a few days, (like I would have wanted to) do to the fact I have extreme amounts of studying these weeks until the end of the semester! WAHH :-(
But luckily this morning I found just enough spare time to get a post in.

It's another Wish List. (Things I wish I had to make the perfect ensemble.)
Since I took pieces of clothes from various places you are going to have to bear with me, and imagine the outfit in it's entirity in your head like I have done.
Obviously, the whole thing put together looks a lot better than just random pieces of fashion in a picture.

The Day Look: 3-4-6-7
The purple dress with the bathing suit and flat crochet shoes, with the denim button up to keep it even more casual.
The Evening Look: 1-2-3-5-6
The purple dress again with the elephant (creme&gold) necklace with the colorful pastel snap-shut clutch.
Along with the light brown platform heels. The denim button-up shirt may or may not be worn here as well.

Either way you choose to wear it, it's a comfortable and simply sexy outfit for summer days and nights! :-)

The Little Black Dress

As a subtitle this post is also called: The Wish list.

(What I wish to buy in the near future) :-)

I am showcasing how to dress up a very simple cotton black dress for the summer.

The focal point here is that black dress. You can do hundreds of things with this, but i decided to go with natural, pastels, and gold colors to dress it up. 

You will notice I put 2 different pairs of shoes, 2 different hand-bags, and 2 different necklaces. This is for the variety of day-wear and night-wear. The more heavy jewelry at night, along with the pair of heels to make it just a little more sophisticated when going out.

1., 2., 3, and 8. are more casual day-wear.
While 4., 5., and 6., are more for a night on the town.
