Bijoux...

I have the day off today, so naturally I hit up Primark. You have to get there early, because after 11.00 AM it's mayhem!

I picked up this necklace (€5) and and bracelet (€4). Cute right? The funny thing is they were bought hanging randomly somewhere in the store. Like they were put there especially for me. ;-)

I also stopped by Zara to check out those red jeans. And luckily they still had them in normal sizes.

Note: That is not my tummy, it's the infamous Zara mirror that's making it look fat... or maybe it was all the pasta and gelati I had on vacation... :-P 

Inspiration of the week...

We went to Venice day before yesterday. Besides all the usual. tourist spots, we also took a stroll trough the little streets and alleys where came across this little jeweler with the most amazing window display. So intricately and yet meticulously laid out.

I could have stood there for hours and hours, continuously discovering something new. Che bella!

Anything boys can do...

...girls can do better! Case in point? Eva Marcille in her white tux for Niecy Nash' wedding.

Yes I know we've seen Janelle Monae do it a million times and don't get me wrong, I think Janelle "werks" the look, but Eva look so darn sexy in this tux!! I absolutely love this last pic. It could be from an editorial or something. I would have chosen a nail color in the same shade as the lipstick though...

Color block idea...

Turqoiuse and yellow?! Yes dearies it seems everything goes with this trend...

Before I run out and buy a turquoise top though... I'll try it with this chunky turquoise necklace and yellow skirt first and see how it goes.  

Don't worry... I will iron the skirt before I wear it. ;-)

Technicolor Dreamjeans...

A few weeks back Zara had a vast array of pretty colored skinny jeans and though I thought they were cute, I wasn't really tempted.

Besides, if you're even a little bit curvy and you know what's good for your ego and healthy body image, you know to steer clear of Zara jeans, because they were not made for women of the bootilicious persuasion. Which reminds me of my bff, the fabulous Pella Bella, who once posted on her facebook from a Zara dressing room that even the mirrors at Zara make you look fat... but I digress...

Colored jeans... yes... On my radar for a while now, but I wasn't really inspired to jump on the trend until I saw this outfit perfectly executed by Nati from Fashion Coup.

It was just the thing I needed to see to inspire a whole bunch of outfit ideas. Of course I now need a pair of red jeans...
