My NYFW day 2 outfit!
I have such a great time in New York hanging out with all the girls and I managed to do some amazing shopping in between shows and events! I just feel like there is just not enough time for every thing I want to do!
So I have been craving some mirror reflecting heels for a while now, like the Acne Atacoma, but don't have a spare $598.00.This trend is all about the wedge/heel/platform being metallic,
so I started searching on a metallic/silver wedge, I found Michael Kors Platforms with a silver heel for $98 but where I really found my luck was on ebay where I found these Nine West wedges for $21.99, I had to wait like 2 or maybe 3 weeks for them so no instant gratification, but no complaints here:) It's always good to try to find your luck on Ebay first!!
For me this is the best thing about trends and fashion, for me its all about seeing a trend and analysing this, what makes it a trend? in this case its all about the heel being metallic so with that information I started a search on finding an item that would translate this,
I spent the whole weekend making lace embellished necklaces that I have put up for sale in my Etsy store :)
I'm wearing Nine West wedges, men's oversized shirt, vintage fur coat, vintage fringe purse
I actually can't remember where and when I found this vintage suede fringe jacket, I forgot I had it??? Too strange? I know when I did my Intern ship in Berlin a few years ago I shopt a lot of vintage, there you could find amazing things for really good prizes, I think I must have gotten the fur coat there too... I'm having a vintage steal blackout or something? I start to forget the best vintage spots???
The tights are a flea market steal, there was a whole pile of really old tights, still in its package and with amazing hues, they were like 20 cents a piece, mouse gray, lilac gray, elephant gray, you name it, so now I have like 10 different shades of gray tights :)
The fur hat is another vintage riddle? no idea when and where I got it? :/
And as for shopping.... I'm broke as a bum so ofcourse I'm lusting and drooling over like a zillion items while when I have money in my pocket I never seem to find anything I like, figures...
So bare with me while I'm drooling over shopbop's 30 - 70% off Marc Jacobs, C&C California, James Perse & More!sale, Superfine side stripe skinny jeans, a Rachel Pally agness dress and most of all A Vanessa Bruno top on sale for $260.50... aaaarghhhh, and a lot of romantic slip dresses and black sophisticated rompers and a gray long dress (splendid) very similar to the one I always wear..... where is my birthday when I need it? :/ :/ :/ to make things worst... these Frye Deborah Studded Boots are Aaaaamazing, but even when I'm not broke the prize would be a bit out of my league, $648.00, then again I wear my fry's always so its a must to invest in some boots that you can wear forever and in all seasons, with jeans, summer slips, fur, these studs are so fine and multi colored so a DIY seems really hard to pull off... Maybe you can find similar plain boots on Ebay and still work out a way to work the studs?
I will head back to New York soon but I'm dreaming about next travels already, I figured its time to visit my Scandinavian neighbours :) I have been wanting to go up North for a while now, as well as making my return to Italy and Spain, I really want to plant a job in Italy or Spain next! But we will see, I never really plan things, I somehow always end up in places, like with New York :)
Still in the Netherlands, as we move into fall it was time to pull out the tights,
with living out of my suitcase I have no access to my fast collection of shoes, but hey I love how these Zara boots go with about everything :) Boy am I happy I have tossed these into my packing pile,
I just know once I get back in New York it will be like I see my closet for the first time ever haha, it will be a happy reunion :)
Back in the Netherlands and the season is changing, its really becoming fall,Which is fine by me, because what I like most about fall is that I use it to really mix and match my summer and winter clothes :)
This fur coat is one of my favs, really falling apart though, the slip is vintage too as the purse, the lace-ups are Jeffrey Campbell
