I found this likey-likey clutch at Net-A-Porter. All I can say is the fact that I love it. And I want it. I adore it. But yes, of course it’s pricetag tells me not to; €2129. It has so many crystals, all-over, but it just looks more antique than bling. I hate bling. Also available in black for €1600.

“Bronze metallic leather clutch with all over Swarovski crystal embellishment. Jimmy Choo bag has a removable bronze shoulder strap, a flap-over closure with a magnetic fastening, a small brass Jimmy Choo embossed plaque on front and beige satin lining.”

I really don’t give a damn about Sarah Michelle Gellar, but I just love her outfit. At the Southland Tales screening during AFI FEST 2007 in Hollywood, on November 2. It’s a tiered dress by Chloé (actually it seems like a skirt to me, what breast size do you need for this dress? AAA?) and a Lanvin necklace. Great combination. Picture by I Heart That.

OK, the tunic was – almost? – too short to wear without a bottom, but well, I liked it. Too bad the tights are so dark on this picture, they’re really bright blue.

You need to have really good posts when you want to get into my list of Favorite Fashion Blogs, when (almost) not posting any personal outfit pictures. Modisten does. Sorry, but I can’t link in this post because of this stupid computer that doesn’t allow me to do everything I want.

Yes, I wore flat boots for a time, and it even felt quite good. Still, I love my 10cm heels much more.

I ’shopped’ at my grandma’s again. I mostly love love love the peace necklace I already wanted for a while. I also got this beautiful necklace with a real bullet from World War II. Some bangles in all kinds of colors, off white triangle clip earrings, turquoise earrings with little roses and another old plastic beaded brown necklace. Although she won’t ever wear things like these again (and probably hasn’t worn them EVER) she still finds it hard to get rid of these too cheap belongings (and make me happy). I also found the very cheapest marine colored plastic purse which was even still packed, so she had never used it. Ofcourse she will not ever use it, but she just couldn’t give it to me. “When you have no bags/purses left you can have this one.” Yeah, like that ever happens.

Oh my god, I found this video at Linda’s Modeblogg. This would be a great idea for Carnaval (Dutch type of Halloween. Not Carn-i-val like in Brazil, but Carn-a-val), cause I have a dachshund too. It’s so hilarious. Shall I make such an outfit for my dog?

I made myself this high waisted skirt I already wanted for a while. The best part is the fabric is vintage, so no one will make the same. It has some beautiful baroque embroidery on top. The skirt looks like satin in the second picture, but it is really thick curtain fabric. You can see a crease in the pictures (at the bottom of the skirt), I still need to iron it. I actually tried to make the skirt a bit different, but gladly it did turn out more pretty than I expected it to be. I finished it so quickly, it was just too easy to make.
