Uncle Karl

Third shot you can REALLY see the crazy blue nail colour…one problem, it totally stains your nails :S … I practically bathed my fingertips in acetone and they still have a blue tinge to them!

Stopped by the bank today after work to convert some cash into American dollars ..exchange rate was actually pretty good =) … just waiting around for J so that we can go do some last minute shopping for travel essentials (and yes, this includes a mini stack of magazines to keep me occupied on the way there :P). One day and we are off to NY!

Almost forgot, today I saw the funniest thing..this sweet tiny old little lady on the bus wearing a kerchief wrapped around her head with marijuana symbols all over it! She must have thought they were just pretty green leaves…. I just smiled.

Lastly, I have been surfing the Topshop site to no end and have decided that I NEED, and I mean NEEEED to get my hands on a pair of leather brogues! They are all just so awesome…put the Aldo ones I was lemming over to shame….Hope to get my hands on a pair in size 7.5 – Fingers crossed!

Top: K by Karl Lagerfeld, Sequin Leggings: H&M (These were the ones they featured in many ads…great price at $25), Bag: Vintage, Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, Rings: Vintage and Grams gifted to me

I love Karl Lagerfeld, so I love the shirt. Also, have fun in New York!

Dakota77 said...

I love your outfit and the pictures:)
Have fun in NY:)
BTW, I love painting my nails dark colors and I discovered that using a protective base coat ( Sally Hansen in my case) reaaly prevents staining.

adrienne said...

Maria said...

Christen said...

I desperately need those sequined leggings. I was looking at a similar pair from Top Shop for three times the price. Thanks for the tip!

♥ Marta ♥ said...

Hey you,

Looking fabulous, I adore that tee... so wicked, got to love uncle karl :P He's a genius in my eyes! And those leggings are stunning...honestly, you're tempting me to give legging a try, although I feel totally naked in them.

TOpshop has sooooo many amazing oxfords, you should really get a pair... I live in mine :) Have fun in New York, it is such a fun and exciting city to explore. How long are you going for?

Have a safe and fun trip!

Ela said...

Eek, I need those leggings! And that vintage bag is gorgeous.
When you're in NY - if you haven't been yet, try to pass by the Century 21 across from Ground Zero, they've got great shoes - snagged a few pairs of Marc Jacobs from there. And sunnies are uber cheap - about MJs for $60. They occassionally have great bags too - on the shelves and/or behind glass, not so much on the floors. Have a great trip!

God Made Me fuNky said...

OMG OMG OMG....superb. fantastic. fabulous. awesome. fierce...
i am running out of words to describe that tee with those leggings.

Lions, Tigers and Fashion OH MY! said...

LOVE the sequin leggings on you and I have that blue nail polish isn't it great...I do hate how it stains your nails though...

soph (owl vs. dove) said...

Oh I hate when nailpolish does that! But then it's just all the more reason to keep them painted haha.

Have fun in NY!

Before I knew it, that little old lady put a smile on my face, too! Cute story! Haha! :-) I can only imagine the sweet grandma with the marijuana on her head.

Enjoy NY! I've personally never been there but I hear good things from other family members who've visited the place.

Oh no no no, you have lost it. This so called fashion is horrible. Your nails again look crap. I have to say you're losing the interest. You should really check out my blog they love you/me a lot more over there. I just hit the 100 mark. Oh well. Loser
