Weekend Update

So, I've had quite a busy few days and have barely touched a computer. Busy with what, you might ask. Well, I've been buried in a book that I started on a few weekends ago. It's call The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and it is excellent. It's not entirely new, but I haven't been caught up reading a book like this in quite a while, so I really enjoyed immersing myself in another world without being glued to a TV screen as usual. I'm about to embark on a new adventure as I've just started the second book in the series and can't wait to get into it. Also, my Jeffrey Campbell Cosmic Litas arrived yesterday and they fit perfectly. They are damn hard to walk in, but they are so gorgeous that I just want them on my shelf looking pretty for now. They are works of art and I can't wait to wear them.

Kiboots Love

I just discovered these amazing leather/kilim boots from Kiboots that would be perfect for a summer in the desert and wandering the beaches of Los Angeles. If only I didn't have such weird feet that never seem to be happy with shoes unless they are extremely soft. I'm still wearing the same sneakers I bought four years ago as it's almost impossible for me to find something that I can actually walk in.

Found via Honestly WTF.

Sea of Shoes

I loooove this look by the wonderful Jane of Sea of Shoes. That jacket is to die for and looks great with Jane's bright red hair and killer boots. Envy!

All Saints London

Last week I went to London for the first time and one of the shops I kept going into was All Saints. I don't like the name much, but the fashion is unbelievable. It's rough, tough, punk cowgirl with amazing details. The heels on their boots are hammered in with nails. I love details like that. Their shoes are generally pretty fabulous and seem very authentic and I keept trying them on even though my feet were sore from walking around the city. I wanted to buy the whole store, but I still have to save up for my US trip so it wasn't the time for spending. I am however adding some of their lovely things to my evergrowing wishlist. They have a webshop and ship internationally so it should be no problem getting my hands on some of these things.

These are some of my personal favorites:

April Wishlist

April was a month full of wants and needs but I'm trying to subdue my urge to shop even though it kills me. I'll be going to New York this summer and I'm trying to save up as much $$$ as I can so I'll be able to get whatever I want when I'm there. I hate saying no to myself and it's hard enough here, but when I'm in New York or Paris it's almost impossible. So that's why this wishlist will stay just that, wishes. Here are some of my favorites from April:

Patricia Field Neon Skull Rings:

Patricia Field Original Coke Purse:

Patricia Field Vinyl Eiffel Tower Bag:

Vintage French Perfume Bottle Necklace:

TopShop Body:

 

TopShop Lace-Up Boots:

TopShop Travel Card Holder:

I'm in the mood for pastels as well as neons. Not sure how to blend those together but I'll find a way. I did get some good bargains last month some of which I'll share here soon.
