California Wishlist

So Tonight I'm leaving for a week to California for a little concert tour with the band. It's going to be San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles, all in one week, and I have a feeling that it's going to be an amazing one!
I have this little habit every time before I go abroad, I like to check out what's in stores over at my destination and fantasize-shopping in online stores, just so I could get a general direction of what I want to come back home with or what to look for.
When It comes to trips to the US, The first site I check is always Anthropologie, which is one of my favorites. As you can see I already have a little wishlist that I hope to get back with at least some of it, Especially that blue sailor-ish blouse and that red skirt, I think they would look so good together!
Ofcourse I did a little research on Thrift stores and vintage boutiques too, and I am fully prepared mentally, fiscally and economically (I've been saving my pennies for this one) to go on a total splurge! So expect some photos of my purchases somewhere next week.


Have a wonderful week everyone!

Roni Kantor Summer/Spring 2010

Roni Kantor is one of my favorite Israeli designers. Every year she takes off on a plane to somewhere, rummage through the flea markets and local thrift stores in search for pretty vintage items, takes them back home and alternate them, giving them her own special interpretation and still managing to keep each and every dress's own unique feel. The fact that all of the designs are alternated vintage dresses assures that each piece is a one of a kind, which makes it even more appealing in my opinion.

The Summer/Spring lookbook sure looks promising, and I just got an Email invitation to the Spring/Summer collection lunch sale, but with the trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco in less just four days away, I promised myself no shopping until I'll get back home. I guess I'll just have to be patient!

Currant Obsession - Espadrille Wedges!

clockwise: Missoni multi-color espadrilles, Christian Louboutin Carino Plato Espadrilles, Botega Veneta Wedge Espadrilles, Boutique 9 Marcello Espadrilles

And it looks like I not the only one obsessed with them, it seems as if they're everywhere these days, and rightfully so! They are just perfect for wearing with a pretty little dress on a spring day for a casual and girly look.

I'm not really sure what to team up with my newly bought pair of navy-white stripe espadrilles from H&M, except a plain white or navy sundress, but that's kind of too obvious in my opinion, so I'm asking you guys for help!

How would you wear them?
Any creative suggestions are welcomed!

Orla Kiely Summer/Spring 2010

No one make a print work as well as Orla Kiely.

I just love the fact that the color pallet for the Summer/spring collection is navy blue, grey, a bit of yellow and dusty brown. In the sea of pastel colors and floral prints that's out there right now, this one is so unexpected and refreshing! And don't you just love these sunglasses?

Berlin Purchases

Just got back from a week in Berlin with the family. The idea for a vacation was completely spontaneous, which made the whole thing ever more fun. So besides of museums and city tours, I also went on a little splurge, and with spring knocking on the door it was all about light colors, floral prints, easy-breezy fabrics, frills and vintage looking feminine dresses
