New in: Heels

Yesterday I did something I only do once every two years. I bought high heeled shoes. I went to check out the sales at Zara and there they were, the chelsea boots I had already admired online: tan leather, timeless, the very last pair, on sale AND my size. The universe must have led me to them because that never happens (last pairs are always either a 37 or a 41, never a 39). Long story short, I couldn’t resist.
Now I just have to get myself to wear heels more often, I’m usually way to lazy for that but now I have a reason. Here it is:

My favorite color for this summer is white, especially when it’s paired with a pale fluorescent yellow, it just doesn’t get much fresher than that. Since I don’t own a suit (yet! I want one so bad!) I just like combining all my blazers with matching pants or in this case shorts. Men’s wear is always a great inspiration especially when there’s a feminine twist, in this case super short cut-offs.
Blazer from H&M, top from Weekday, shorts from Monki and second hand belt.

White and Gold

So happy about finding this ring trio from Asos, I usually tend to under-accessorize because I like it simple and these rings look simple yet really cool especially I find when in an ensemble with a matching simple choker (H&M). The top I’m wearing is from Asos by the way.

Finally, it’s shorts time! These white cut offs are from Monki, paired with a belt that used to be my mom’s and an earthy colored T from Weekday.

I got my favorite kind of mail today: A big box from ASOS. Once in a while I order a bunch of stuff just to try things on. This time there was more than one keeper. For one, this set of three rings: And these high top sneakers:

The big white fluffy dress

No, I have not decided to tie the knot, I am working at a bridal and evening wear fashion fair and today a client asked me to model something. I am doing a three in one job here, being an interpreter, sales assistant and well, apparently a model for a portuguese firm called Grupo Noiva.
Anyway, so I’m having a good time in Essen working in the midst of ivory-colored organza, satin lace and tulle, I’ve been to Monki where I bought a classic blue jean (I will show you some pictures soon) and sunday was awesome, when Portugal won and Cristiano Ronaldo redeemed himself. Tonight I’m going back to Cologne.

today’s details

Today I’m wearing my Replay Laserblast jeans, Asos suede shoes, the silk top was a gift so no idea where that’s from, I Don’t Like Mondays leather jacket and the lovely nail polish I showed you in my previous post from Agnes B.

today’s nails

Yes, I’m still obsessed with glitter nails and now I have found the perfect nail polish. It’s called mini B. by Agnes B. and the color is silver pop. It shines in all the colors of the rainbow and it’s great as a top coat, in this case for a pretty lavender from Rival de Loop.

The jacket (yet again)

I know you’ve seen it already and I can’t shut up about it, but I just wanted to share this photo which didn’t make the cut for my last outfit post, but it really shows off the details and quality of this fabulous garment and it is simply a nice photograph. So here goes, courtesy of Hendrik Jung:

not a matter of fashion

So, I know there is nothing fashionable about football but that is what I’m going to be busy with tonight.
Germany vs. Portugal is always tough. I live in Germany but I always want Portugal to win, which usually doesn’t happen. I’m in Antwerp today so if Portugal loses at least there are no Germans around to mock me.
