Hey guys, I’m so sorry for not posting, but I really didn’t forget about you. The fact is, our demented cat who’s turning 19 next month peed all over our modem, so we lost connection to the internet and telephone. It will take some days before we will recieve a new one (modem, not cat).
Yesterday I went to my grandma and grandpa to use the internet, but somehow it didn’t work at their place either. Today I tried again, but now the computer failed to start itself. That’s why I’m at my aunt and uncle’s at the moment, though they don’t live in the same village as me, so this will be the only time I can use the internet I guess.
Yes indeed, this outfit is almost completely from my grandmother. Not grandma-style though, but a grandma outfit. This is Tuesday’s one by the way.
I actually believe this is my cheapest outfit ever. I only had to pay for the shades, €5,90, the vintage earrings, about €2, and the shoe-bow (at bag) which was about €0,10. OK, and the €0,50 bag, haha. So in total about €8,50?
Got this genuine leather bag at a flea market last Monday. My bf didn’t like it, but I did. Well, for €0,50, who wouldn’t?
These flat gladiators originally were my grandma’s, got them last year already, but totally forgot about them. If you’re standing in my place I guess it’s not hard to forget about some shoes, with a collection of 66 pairs.
Sailor tee: Second-hand, my grandma’s
Pants turned into skirt: Customized second-hand, my grandma’s
Bag: Flea market
Gladiators: Second-hand, my grandma’s

A contrast of life and death.
The outfits below are only my picks, only my favorites, it’s not an on-the-whole-look of the complete collection. Click the designer for the full collection.
Allegra Hicks: The styling’s great, but the rest isn’t THAT nice. She tried, but not enough, most of the looks turned out a bit too boring. I do like these 4.
Had to work, then my bf phoned me he wanted to shop for another two hours when I finally walked out the door (how glad was I to hear that after working the complete afternoon, not really). In the evening we went to dinner in Germany with his family. I switched my outfit several times that day, so that’s why the shots are a bit different from each other.

More favorite looks of the eve.
Michelle Trachtenberg, in a vintage skirt and top with Kwiat diamonds and a Cesare Paciotti clutch. I would normally think this is too trashy, but somehow it just really suits her. Can only be worn by brunettes in my opinion, it would cheap on blondes. – Christina Ricci, in Givenchy Haute Couture and Bulgari jewels.
Jessica Stam, in Proenza Schouler and Jimmy Choo shoes. – Kristin Davis, in Michael Kors and Fred Leighton jewels.
Barneys New York’s Julie Gilhart, in Christopher Kane, with Rogan Gregory. – Claudia Schiffer, in Valentino Haute Couture and Fred Leighton jewels, with Valentino Garavani.
Our bamboo has become enormously big. So much larger than it looks in the picture below.
