bear them as Carrie would...

My favourite style icon, the beloved Sara Jessica Parker launched her own shoe collection. She makes come true one of  Carrie Bradshaw's dreams. SJP, her shoe collection in collaboration with Manolo Blahnic it to debut exclusively at Nordstrom on 28th February. I would say that 2014 starts nicely :) Don't you agree? 

in a different light...

  As you're getting older your new experiences are outnumbered by the repeated ones... The number of your age is the same of your birthdays, your new year's eves, your summers...

  And you may not remember all of them and you may even still enjoy and everytime looking forward to re-live them... but secretely you'd love to have a different experience out of them! You may not admit it, but all those ornaments, all these window shops all that fake snow...all of these years... cannot move you.

  But that doesn't mean there's no hope -hey, this isn't a nagging post- out of the contrary... As long as your heart seeks for beauty, for one-another, for true feelings... there is hope...

  So have youselves a Merry little Christmas now!

Raf Simons & Adidas

Raf Simons and his second Adidas collection  (for spring/summer 2014)! 

Nine different sneakers, a variety of colours and materials... a combination of mesh, leather panels and silicone details. . . These very stylish and fashionable trainers manage to emulate a similar style while simultaneously being unique and special!  I really loved them . . . but  I am a bit worried cos the collection is only for men ::(  lucky u boys !
pre- orders are now available!

By the way, for those who don't know or don't remember,  Raf Simons is a Belgian  fashion designer . He started initially as a furniture designer but eventually launched his own menswear label in 1995. He then worked as a creative director at Christian Dior. He counts several collaborations with famous brands as Fred Perry, Asics,  Adidas with that limited edition footwear collection, etc.    

A lucky day. . .

Oh yes ... I am so happy with my last two purchases ... for two reasons... firstly cos I bought two new jumpers and secondly cos I bought them in a very very good price... amazingly good price!!! Do you remember the TK MAX outlet? I posted something about it a month ago! 

Yesterday I visited that outlet, without specially needing anything to buy, just to nicely spend some time with my little naughty boy. I was looking around, and my eye caught this hand knitted Ralph Lauren jumper... I liked it but I liked it even more when I saw the price . . . The original price was 665 GBD and I got it for only 25 GBD!!! Can you believe it??:)))) 

I am really looking forward to put it on with a pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt and my brown ankle boots!

The second one was an italian jumper, originally costing 80 GBD, which I bought for only  24 GBD... not bad, don't you agree?:) I love the colour combination of grey and pink, and this particular jumper has a really nice feeling as well!

It was a lucky day.. wasnt it ?:)
