SoHo Bar Amsterdam

As soon as me and my friends enter the bar, I just had to take a picture. The bar is gorgeous and I thought the surrounding would be a perfect background for my Louis Vuitton Petillante Clutch. In this picture, I'm wearing a Jane Norman dress, Roberto Cavalli watch and D&G cuff.

My New Edina Ronay Satchel in Teal

Look what I have found in TK Maxx!!! Seriously, if you look carefully you can find gems in this store like this bag from Edina Ronay! And the bag cost only 74€. Edina Ronay is a knitwear designer from UK, her sweaters and cardigans are worn a lot by British celebrities and royal members. To be honest, I love, love this bag. I have always wanted a bag that looks like Mulberry's Alexa, but for that price I would rather get a Prada bag. I have seen some other bags in the same style for less price (Coccinelle, Marco Polo, etc) but nothing caught my eyes until I saw this bag. The bag still has that old school satchel look but the color makes the bag look more grown-up and the light golden hardware makes the bag look expensive! No one believes how cheap I bought the bag! Inside of the bag there's a center compartment with a zipper that divides the bag to two sections, and a wall pocket (also with a zipper). There's also a pocket on the backside. What I love about the bag is the tassel and the bag charm. The tassel and the bag charm don't look like an after thought. You CAN NOT take off the tassel and the bag charm because you would have to make the slit on it longer (with a thin cutter) in order to get the bag charm go through the slit! Don't worry though, the bag charm doesn't cheapen the look.
What makes me love it even more is the slouchy look of the flap when you carry the bag using the hand held. A lot of bags with similar style has a rigid look and it makes the bag look too mature but fear not, this one doesn't make me look too young nor too old! Oh and the smell! I'm out of words.....

My New Zara Gold Shoes

Ha! I haven't broken my 2012 resolutions yet coz I paid the shoes using Zara Voucher that I was given as a Christmas present.

I'm still ambivalent about these shoes. They are GOLD and SHINY!!! Heels are 12cm. The only thing I can wear them with is a simple little black dress or I'll look like I'm ready to go to an ice skating competition at the Olympic games. Also, I can not wear them during the day and people would instantly recognize me in the club with the phrase, 'Oh, the girl with the golden shoes!'.

But then the shoes are soooo comfortable and was made in Spain, they were limited edition. Most of Zara shoes are made in China so these shoes are special! So let's vote! Are these shoes a DO or a DON'T???

My New Michael Kors Gibson Booties

Fellow Americans and Canadians, do you know how lucky you are? You have all these awesome comfortable shoes without the silly price tag, Jessican Simpson (ahem), Michael Kors, Diane Von Fürstenberg, Chinese Laundry, etc. What do we have here in Germany? Buffalo (hurts like crazy), Deichmann (cheap quality), and the rest are shoes for grannies (Hello, Tamaris!!). And the rest are sooo expensive designer shoes that you even have to order from some Italian websites!

Introducing Michael Kors Gibson booties, 13cm heels and 13,5cm platforms. Poppa Bear got them for me. As comfortable as a pajama,  as hot as ghost chilli pepper! These are shoes that go from work to play and beyond (bedroom romp, you asked for it!). I love how they use the silver hardware to decorate the front part, the silver tone gives a modern touch. The combination of the suede and leather goes well with the material-blocking trend but retains the classical look of the shoes. They would never go out of style!

Michael Kors I love you!
