Killer Shoes by Sonia Rykiel

So on my big shopping trip last weekend I bought these killer pair of shoes and I love them! My girlfriend said they were the ugliest shoes she's ever seen :) but goodness I'm so tall in them and they are so comfy! :) What do you say? Like or dislike?

P.S: I'm tiny and my boyfriend is probably the tallest guy I've ever met so I definately need these! :)

My Happy Weekend

Some weekends are dull, some are sleepy but this one was full of action and I couldn't be more happy about that. I've been camping in my home town for a while now (at my moms place), spending most of my time in PJs in front of the computer, but this weekend I decided to visit some friends and do a big-spring-shopping-spree in Budapest.

You know when I go shopping often, I can resist to buy, but when I don't go for a while and everything is new, I just go completely crazy.... :) 8 hours non stop shopping seems to be my physical limit by the way.... and I still have bruises on my shoulder from carrying the heavy bags.... anyhow, there is nothing better after an exhausting day of spending than meeting up with old friends in a nice little restaurant (Vapiano in this case) and drinking a glass of wine (... or two).

While in the city, I found out that some of my high school classmates (most of whom I haven't met since we were 18) are organising a spring welcoming party in a nearby village. I almost didn't go but in the end we had a blast. We were cooking outside, playing games (we, girls hid some chocolate eggs and the boys had to find them :), telling stories and catching up. I love spring!

And last but not least, I spent Sunday with my mum at the local travel fair. I'll be booking two holidays this week. Let me keep the destinations secret a little bit longer, but both places are in Africa... :) yuppieee

I wish all weekends were so much fun...

House of Harlow

I simply adore the House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line. Vintage, boho, chic, exotic, tribal, gypsy, unique.. everything I'm looking for when it comes to accessories. I'm a firm believer of mixing simple clothing with extravagant jewelry and I just couldn't choose from this collection. I want EVERY SINGLE PIECE of it!!! Furthermore I loooooove the capaign pictures and the dresses in it... huh

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Gisele for VOGUE

I just can't get over how amazing Gisele Bündchen looks 6 weeks after giving birth to son Benjamin.

I admire her business ethics, lifestyle and eco-interests (and husband :))

She scored the cover of Vogue this month. Read the whole article here.

I love you Gisele. You are a true inspiration.

Scarlett, Mango and Me

J.Crew, Forever 21, Anthropologie, Victoria's Secret... just some of the US fashion giants unaccessible for us European gals (don't get me started on shipping fees and import taxes).

What we do have though is Zara's little sister Mango. With limited edition celebrity designer collections such as Penelope and Monica Cruz or Zuhair Murad they offer simple, wearable, highly on trend pieces at affordable prices. While Mango is little known in the US (btw you can shop it online), I really don't know any chic in Europe without at least a couple of pieces of their collections.

I love the spring collection starring my all time favorite girl crush Scarlett Johannson.

Romantic military, sailor chic welcome to the world of Scarlett, Mango and Me!

One is the Loveliest Color

I think my wardrobe is too black. One of my spring resolutions is to buy and wear more colors and more prints (hippie flower prints!). Somehow I'm always attracted to simple and ageless black pieces and have more LBDs than I could count. :) I remember a while back Joanna from A cup of Jo (a real blogging celebrity I know you all know :) posted an article in the NY mag about five New Yorkers who wear only one color (all day, every day and not black!). I was so shocked! I find myself going back to that article time and time again and decided to share the images with you here as well.
Could you wear only one color? What would it be?

Nude at the Oscars

When did everyone decide to go nude to the Oscars? I get it, nude is in, but when following a trend results in the total loss of originality... I love these ladies but I would have chosen differently...

I'd vote for the Armani Prive gowns.
