The strappy kitten heels are the It-shoe that everyone and their mommas need in their wardrobe for spring and summer 2019!

I am sure that you have seen these shoes on many bloggers and fashionistas. The sandals are very 90s inspired due to the style and especially the tiny kitten heels.

What I love about my strappy kitten heels

The ones that I have on are from Zara and are only available in this milk white color. But brands like Topshop have similar sandals in black and red. Mango currently has a white and orange one. I was about to buy the orange sandals because the color looked good on my skin. In addition, the Zara and Mango sandals look like the infamous Row sandals. But these ones have a more affordable price tag and look expensive.

I love the overall square shape and the minimalistic style of the Zara sandals. Furthermore, the heals have a mid height which I’ve worn at home, to test how comfortable they are before keeping them. And, I can’t believe that I’ve become a fan of kitten heels because I preferred chunky heels. Lastly, the sandals are made of leather and cost 56 EUR.

How to style this 90s inspired sandals?

I don’t know where to start because there are no limits because these kitten sandals can make any outfit look instantly put together. Therefore, I can see myself styling this with a flowy midi skirt, ankle jeans, a summery dress and lots of other stuff. Also, I will go with brighter colors like white, pink and blue. I wish the weather would be kind so that I can finally rock these sandals and leave my trusty grey coat in the cupboard.. ugh!!

SHOP THE SANDALS

Here is my list of other beautiful sandals for every budget. I looked for different colors, prints, height and styles.

And here are a few Zara links:

3. Sandals with animal print

Lastly, are you a fan of the 90s kitten heels or do you prefer a chunky heel?

SHOP THE LOOK: RED TURTLENECK SWEATER // JEANS // SHOES // BAG

In the colder months, I opt for the same coat and scarf as my safe canvas. Now, as it is getting warmer, I like to experiment with bolder colors. In todays blog post, I want to show you what’s underneath my grey coat. Because my winter clothes tend to be grey, white and blacks.

To add some color to my outfit, I picked this new turtleneck sweater by Pull&Bear via Zalando. You must size up because the sweater is very small. I bought a size M. I instantly fell in love with the dark red color. And this is the first red that suits my skin tone because brighter reds with a blue undertone make my skin look ashy – haha! Also, I wanted to mention that I like to inject new pieces into my existing wardrobe. I also don’t believe in buying the same or similar stuff only for the sake of fashion. I find it even more interesting to style a piece that you have in several ways.

Underneath the burgundy sweater, I wore a shirt to keep myself warm. Furthermore, I styled it with my favorite pair of black jeans and some ankle boots. In addition, I didn’t want to tuck my hair back as always and left it in its curly state and let the bangs out. Finally, I wore silver thick hoops and finished my look off with a slouchy brown bag by H&M. I bought the bag again because my old one was broken. I really can’t wait to style this burgundy sweater with beige pants or with my vintage Levi’s jeans and white Converse Allstars. I hope you enjoyed this look!

Valentine’s Day – a few words about love

Valentine’s Day – a few words about love

Comments 0 Comment

In less than a few days is Valentine’s Day but love should always be celebrated! By the way, I wrote a little Valentine’s guide last year which you can read here.

Also, today is the 10th of February that happen to be the day that my boyfriend and I like to celebrate together. Therefore, I wanted to talk about my thoughts on love and self love.

Before we can understand love and show it to humans and animals, we have to learn to love ourselves and accept our flows. Life is too short to worry about some stretch marks and the shape of the body. Instead, we have to focus on becoming better humans.

Furthermore, we have to take time to pamper ourselves it’s like conditioner for the soul. If you know what I am talking about – haha! Once in a week I like to put on hydrating masks, do my nails, wax my body and whiten my teeth.

I was brought up very religious. And, the most important thing that I leaned until now is to show love to others and not to harm. That means don’t treat someone shitty if they choose to do that. Because actions like that have nothing to do with you. A person might be going through bad times. Always be kind and help others in need.

Lastly, I read the love book ‘the 5 love languages‘ which I think everyone should read. Also, I recommend it to anyone not only to if you are in a relationship. I love how this book speaks about love languages. Because we humans have different ways of expressing love and if we learn each other’s love language. This can lead to a better relationship towards your partnership, friendship and to your family. Btw, the 5 love languages are:

  • Words of affirmation 
  • Acts of service 
  • Quality time
  • Physical touch
  • Receiving gifts 

For instance, I am a person who loves encouraging/kind words and compliments. In addition, your partner can prefer other love languages like physical touch. We learned each other’s language and we now unterstand ourselves and the other person much better.

I hope you like my little thoughts about love and my pictures with my pink roses.

These 90s baguette bags are back!

These 90s baguette bags are back!

The 90s bags are back and I love it.

Jey holding baguette bagJey holding baguette bagTopshop Pia Nylon Shoulder bagJey holding baguette bagSHOP THE LOOK: BAG  / JEANS / BOOTS

Guys, I’ve been wearing the heck out of my black little bag by Topshop. It is made of nylon and the quality is good. Also, Topshop has a few 90s inspired bags that I‘ll share later with you.

Mini bags come in different colors, materials and styles, the most known styles are:

The Baguette Bag – is a handbag that is designed by Fendi. Nowadays, every little brand copies their style. 

The Pochette bag – When I think about this style, what comes into my mind is the Pochette Accessoires bag by Louis Vuitton. Pochettes are large purses.

The Hobo bag -This style has a half mooned shape which comes in leather or other materials. A very famous mini hobo bag which I know is this one by Prada. Btw, I think the bag I am carrying is a mix of pochette & hobo.

Many designers like Fendi and Dior reintroduced their infamous mini bags from the 90s or created new ones. Therefore, the price at the resale market immediately went up. Now, I am sad that I didn’t buy the bags when they were cheap. Moreover, the brand By Far even designed a ‘Rachel bag’ that is a homage to the character Rachel of Sex and the Cities. I’m sure that you all know that 00s show!

What fits into the tiny baguette bags?

I always carry my important things like a card purse, hand creme, chapstick, hand sanitizers and my keys. If you like to write on the go, you can fit in a little notebook (A5) and a pen. I would say these are your most important things that fit into the bag.

How to style the It-bag

I like to carry my mini bag on my shoulder, especially when I wear an oversized cardigan or a long coat. Furthermore, these bags go well with minimalist outfits.

My 90s mini bag wishlist

Lastly, I wanted to include a few bags that I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. Some are new and many are vintage finds which you can find on eBay, Vestiaire Collection or on other sites that sell authentic goods as well. Btw, I added bags from designer to high street brands.

SHOP MY LOOK: dress // top // bag // boots

First of all, happy new year guys! I hope you enjoyed the two weeks of 2019 so far..

Sometimes, I am very bored with my winter closet. Because as you might know, I tend to go with the same ole’ jeans and a thick cardigan/knit. Also, I love wearing dresses and skirts in the warmer months. Therefore, I wanted to incorporate a summer piece and show you how I style it without freezing. Let’s be real, we don’t want to sacrifice our health for fashion. 🙂 By the way, this outfit can be worn to a romantic dinner because you will look cute and you are kept warm at the same time.

I bought this checked mini buttoned dress by Bershka in Vienna. Under the dress, I threw on a basic black longsleeved top which gives the look a 90s kind of vibe. Underneath the summer dress I didn’t wear tights, I opted for thick black leggings. I like wearing these instead of tights because I find them more comfortable and they also put some structure to your outfit. I finished the look off with my favorite edgy combat boots and thick grey socks to further ‘winterize’ the look – is that even a word? Haha!

Lastly, what is an outfit without a cool bag? I’ve been living in my mini 90s baguette bag which goes effortlessly with any look. Soon I’ll write a bit more about this baguette bag. So keep your eyes peeled!

See you in the next post!
