// Have I seen it all?

No! However thoroughly explored the strappy shoe territory might be these days, there always will be designs pushing it just a bit further.

I love the haphazard organization of beautiful leather straps on these Michael Kors shoes. Shame that Style.com doesn’t provide a side view of these…

// I see ruffles, velvet…

I think that this velvet clutch from eclu is pretty much perfect. The shape, the material — and the presentation. I’m not officially thinking autumn yet, but I guess that some velvet can be foreseen far there…

// Plain armor

Posted on | June 4, 2010 | 1 Comment

I haven’t got myself one of those quite popular armor rings yet — but I have to say that it will be very close when these Fashionology rings restock. For some reason my silver jewelry tend to be clean lined and futuristic, this one would be a perfect addition to the collection. The armor shape is directly from knight tales — but the lack of embellishments give it a futuristic aura.

// I am tempted

Posted on | May 30, 2010 | 2 Comments

I saw Cocorosa wearing these beautiful clogs a while ago… …but maybe because I was slightly scared the sky high heel (rigid, wooden sole and over 10 cm heel… …no thanks) I did not check Su-Shi website. But now I did. In addition to some great shoes they make pretty rad bags. And the prices are not bad. The details and materials look great and the designs are not direct knockoffs (which is actually quite typical in this price group). The satchel shares the lines of Mulberry Alexa — but satchel form is quite generic, Mulberry certainly did not invent it — and the clean lines and distinct hardware give this bag a personal look. It looks like the bag has a suede lining, which is nice…

// To keep or to return

Posted on | May 25, 2010 | 15 Comments

The question is: should I keep or return this Lindex Affordable Luxury top?

For keeping it:

I love the asymmetric cut (the back is even better with beautiful fabric cascades — but my photos were crap, so no picture)
It has inbuilt support, so this would be my one and only top with no separate bra needed
I love the print
The fabric weight is perfect for the cut

Against keeping it:

It is polyester. This is not all bad… …when traveling few polyester garments are practical (they don’t crease so easily).
The straps are faux leather. This is bad. I hate plastic that pretends to be something else than plastic. Occasional perspex heel or PVC panel is ok… …but I HATE FAUX LEATHER. I should probably change the straps.
The price is bad considering the materials. 60 €.

Without all that love the decision would be easy.

What do you think?

// For contemporary hourglass figure

Posted on | May 23, 2010 | 2 Comments

If I ever get my body to state where I actually enjoy showing off my waist, my first purchase will definitely be this artLAB waist wrap. Oh, I love it so deeply… …thanks, Steff, for reminding me the existence of this awesome Etsy shop. Only the relatively high prices have kept me buying stuff there. I’m not saying that they are too expensive being awesomely designed artisanal items — but the additional taxes and other expenses limit my outside European union purchases to relatively cheap ones. Some day my wardrobe will contain something from artLAB, though, I’m sure about that.

The drawback of vintage — great item, wrong size. Go and get them before they are gone. Booties sz 8 from Raiarox, clogs sz 7 from Marie’s Vintage.

Wow, now I know where to turn when my beloved Luovi computer bag reaches the end point of it’s lifecycle (FYI, Luovi is not the ugly one I’m complaining here occasionally, I’m using two laptops and naturally my own MacBook has a worthy home, minimal and utilitarian domestic made one).

Lumi Supermarket bag line laptop bag. Beautiful and looks also very practical. I think I would go for the black one, but the image of this beautiful brown reveals the details better.
