I know that wearing different kind of jeans is quite a controverse. But i think my distressed jeans from Penelope & Monica Cruz for Mango and my new Kevin Geddes (he is the winner at some design contest by my-wardrobe.com) dark denim jacket work perfect together.

Shopping plan: Shoes for fall

I've spent some time online, to see what shoes will interest me for this fall season. Here are my choices.

A pair of pointy flats

I have a lot of round-toes ballerinas, but I feel the need to have a pointy pair of flats in my shoe-closet. They should be neutral and patent, so the grey ones from Chloe seem like the best choice ever. Maybe net-a-porter.com will have a mid-season 80% sale :)). Or maybe it will rain inside. Which one seems more plausible!



Chloe Patent flats


A pair of mid-heels

Have you noticed that you can find less and less nice mid-heel shoes? I am quite short and my husband is very tall, so flats are not the best choice for me. That's why I wear a lot of heels, but when I need to feel comfortable, yet still having some extra inches; the best solution is a pair of mid-heels. But although I always look for them, mid heel seems something quite exotic in most of the stores. For example, on net-a-porter.com we have 12 pairs of mid heels and 180 ones of high heels. Count the difference for yourself!



Sigerson Morrison Suede and patent pumps / Christian Louboutin Kika T-bar pumps


Cut out peep toe pumps

During summer sales at Mango, I saw this gorgeous pair of cut out peep toe pumps in black and white. They were a little bit pricey, so I didn't grab them when I got a chance! The day after, when I was decided to buy them, they were already gone!



Alexander McQueen Cut out peep-toe shoes / BCBGirls Women's 'Corona' Platform Cut out Pumps

Fringe orange scarf!

Friday i was waiting for someone in the mall near me, and i saw this gorgeous scarf in the Parfois store. I've never bought something from that shop, because they have those tacky pleather bags and teenager funky accessories, that are not in my "shopping range".

But this scarf is gorgeous. Rich orange is such a great fall color, and the fringes add the exact amount of zazazou to this scarf. I love it, so i decided to give a little break to my Esprit scarf.

Sunday = movie in the evening

Floral skirts

I my new look for winter will include a lot of floral skirts, combined with warmer clothes, for a chic-pop outfit.



It is as simple as 1,2,3: choose a floral skirt with springy flowers, in vivid colors, add wool opaque tights in your color of choice (black or white for mainly white skirts, matching the main color of the skirt otherwise) and a warm sweater. Combine those clothes with boots or peep-toe pumps if the weather is not that bad. And there you have it! A chic fall-winter outfit, that does not look at all dark and sad!

* tights, DIM, laredoute.fr

* pumps, Jessica Simpson, overstock.com

It is heavy fall already and freezying cold here in Bucharest, but i live for next weekend, when we are celebrating 8 years in Egypt :).

Red shoes

I've bought this pair of cut-out red shoes from Penny Loves Kenny last winter. But i never got a chance to wear them (too cold then, right after too hot summer days).
But this begining fall weather it is perfect for them.

Platforms

I've never bought platforms so high before, because I thought that this kind of shoes is not comfy at all. But at the beginning of this year's sale from net-a-porter.com those Fendis caught my eye... They seem to me sort of like fall sandals, so I didn't wear them through out the summer. But this morning I decided to give a try to walking on platforms, and, to my surprise, they are quite comfortable.

Fall wardrobe remix

I've finally managed to store all my summer dresses and skirts and shoes in boxes. I've left out just the pairs of sandals that I can wear with opaque tights. My favorite is actually my last buy (see previous outfit), a pair of mid heels sandals from the Jeans collection by Jasper Conran for Debenhams. In the same time, I got out (almost) all my fall clothes. Gosh! Over summer, I completely forgot about my darling sweater dresses...



* Hugo Boss (orange label) sweater dress
* electric blue sandals, Jasper Conran Jeans for Debenhams
* tattoo style shopping tote, Longchamp, from the Moerman Special Edition Collection

Office rock

Wendsday at work...

I finally got around to wear my new Penelope & Monica Cruz strapless dress from Mango. I like it sooo much. It has the perfect fall shade of green, and works so well with a shirt under, for a perfect office look.



* Karen Millen motorcycle leather jacket
* tattoo style shopping tote, Longchamp, from the Moerman Special Edition Collection
* Esprit scarf
* Mango belt bought in Wien
(those 4 items became a constant in my outfits)
* Zara shirt
* Chinese Laundry nectar colored pumps
* Penelope & Monica Cruz strapless dress from Mango

PS: I forgot in the morning to take a full height picture at home, and then didn't get the chance later in the day. So this is the best I have!

The last navy feeling

I've thought of giving this cute Marc Jacobs print dress a last go before storing all my summer clothes in boxes for the winter, so i paired it with black tights, layerd it over a black t-shirt, and added the last buy from summer sales, an incredible cheap find at the "last call" 75% off sale from Debenhams.



* Marc Jacobs dress
* Jasper Conran Jeans for Debenhams
* black t-shirt, Zara

First day of fall

Today it is Monday, I have a tone of things to do at work and it is raining heavily outside. All I can dream is to be back home under a blanket, watching an episode of Mash, with Yuki and Garfie besides me.

A weekend full of tennis and legal racing

Saturday we went in Pitesti, to see a competition of Legal Racing. Lots of people and powerful cars, but too bad my hb forgot to tell me where are we going, so I was dressed not for this occasion at all. Yuki on the other hand hated it; all those horrible sounds scarred him terribly.

Sunday we went to the finale of Romanian Open Tennis. It was freezing cold, fall is here in Bucharest, and I have to dig up my fall clothes ASAP so I can dress accordingly to the little degrees we have outside. Meanwhile, while my warm clothes are neatly packed in IKEA boxes up to my closet, I tried to cope with the weather with lots of scarves and layering as much clothes as I can gather.
