Leather, Leather Everywhere

It's leather weather! I mean sweater weather...both? 

I did not get the memo that a leather jacket was a essential here in Copenhagen. Like it's literally everywhere and I'm not complaining - I love it! I went out on the look for a nice fall/winter coat, since it's getting colder and the jackets I own are almost useless. The first thing I noticed is how a sea of people were wearing a black leather jacket. It was interesting....

I decided to go to Zara for a quick look (bad idea) and the next thing I know I'm looking at all the options and styles of leather jackets. To be completely honest, I'm pretty sure I can not pull off the "cool-sleek-bad-girl" look...like no! But I decided to get one anyway. They just look so nice and I think they can add something interesting to an outfit. So off I went, didn't think it twice (you can not think twice!), got the one that I liked the most, checked the price (to not get a surprise) and off I went to checkout! 

La, la, la, la...oh wait! I still need that winter coat...off to the shops soon! Hopefully I don't get drag into buying another "essential" piece. Oh, dear...

Urban Outfitters Wishlist

 1. dress / 2. coat / 3. boots / 4. traveler watch

Just browsing through some clothing website and found these great pieces in the fall catalog section of Urban Outfitters. I’m planning to travel in the winter to a place colder of what I’m used to. So I’m looking for a good coat, but it’s so difficult to choose which style is the best. I admit I have a soft spot for trench coats, but I don’t know…any ideas? I like this coat of UO but I don’t know if their clothing quality is good. Oh well, I will decide later…besides the coat I love the dress. I have too much black in my closet at the moment, but is a color that is really easy to wear and always looks great. This one looks very elegant, it doesn't show too much skin and the lace details is my favorite thing about it. Then there are this boots which are a must for winter and for accessories I find the watch to be so cute! It’s called traveler watch…ha! Perfect!

Oh, and please if you can recommend any good coats for a good price leave it the comment section. I live in tropical weather so I have no idea what cold is. Yikes! 

Thanks!

The Row Fall 2012 Favorites

I found an article in the September issue of Marie Claire featuring the Fall 2012 collection of Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen brand, The Row. I adore everything they do for brand, but the reality is I can’t afford anything. Even if I can’t go and buy what I want (just like any other designers clothing), I like to look at their collections and maybe try to find look-a-like pieces for less. When I saw the Fall collection I was very happy it wasn’t an letdown, it is beautiful. And I fell in love with the accessories. The bags look so simple, beautiful colors and very stylish. I love bags that are simple with plain/neutral color, so I can add more to an outfit. I can see myself buying one of these, but for now in my dreams. haha. And the same goes to the sunglasses. I’m a fan! I like the style, forms and colors. I have used Ray-bans aviators for two years already, so I want to change and look for something more like these ones. My favorite is the clear one, it’s something very different and I’ve never had clear sunglasses, so it could be fun if I find ones like that. You can check their collection at their website. I will like to add, besides their accessories my other favorite pieces were the long dresses and skirts. Do you like? 

Thanks for reading! 

Have a lovely day!

Autumn List

First of all, if you read my blog, I’m sorry I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been very busy and sometimes I didn’t have the energy and inspiration to write a post. I don’t want to blog without been enthusiastic in what I’m writing about. So I preferred to take my time. 

Second, Oh wow, one month has passed since I first started blogging! Too fast! Yesterday it was summer and now I’m like, “Oh, hi September! Didn’t see you coming.” Haha. But at the same time I'm very happy since I love Autumn, especially the weather. 

And third, here is my list for my next shopping trip.  

1. Despite that classes already started, I’m looking for a new backpack since the one I’m using has already two years and I’m getting kind of tired of it. I love this kinds of bags that are like made of leather and sloppy, but sometimes I like to carry my laptop so I don’t know if to buy something like this or something bigger. Do you have any suggestions?
2. All my tights are black, so this year I want to do a little change and wear burgundy color tights. It will be something different and maybe it will look good since almost all my clothes are black/gray. 
3. For months I have been craving to buy a purple shade lipstick, specially from MAC. I will see if I can get it this weekend. 
4. I need headphones, like right now! Mine are dead after two years using them 24/7. haha. What can I say? I love music! Maybe I will buy two, because I love this one – first they look cute and second I love the color. The bad part is I find it kind of big to carry it around everywhere, so I need smaller ones too.
5. Glitter oxfords. I mentioned this in another post and I still haven’t found the perfect pair, so difficult! I’m thinking of buying some plain oxfords and maybe add them with some glitter. But I don’t know if it will look good. 
6. More jumpers please! Fact: I love jumpers! I think I have one in every color and I still want more. If I find an ombre style jumper I will definitely buy it. 

                                      And for now that is my list of things I need/want for this season.

Avon Nailwear Pro+ Review

This is my first review post. I don’t know if I’m good at describing the product, but I will do my best. And I will only be posting reviews in products that I like and enjoy. 

Last month I ordered two nail polishes from Avon, they arrived like two weeks ago and I’m really impressed. I admit I’m not a fan of Avon products but the first thing that called my attention were the pretty colors. So I gave it a try and bought them.  I brought the Luxe Lavender and Sea Breeze (is like a light blue mint, if that makes sense). I said I’m really impressed because the quality is really good, something I did not expect. But this is my first time trying any nail polish from the brand. Something that I like is that they are very smooth to apply and dry very fast. With only two coats they look amazing; the only difference with the colors is that the mint color is a bit lighter. And it only took me a few minutes to have my nails done. The best part is that the color stayed in my nails for almost a week! Ok, after three days the nail polish started to peel in the corners in a few nails, but nothing big like it can’t be noticed by far. In conclusion: I really like them, the colors are nice and I’m a new fan. I’m thinking in ordering a few more colors that I liked. 

Oh, and you can check them out on their website here. They have many other colors to choose from. 

Well I hope you enjoyed this review & have an amazing day!  : )

Back to School Haul

I’ve been shopping these past weeks for things I need for uni, which is mostly clothes. Nothing fancy, these are very casual pieces as I like to be comfy while taking classes. 

These blouses are from T.J.Maxx each for $9.99 and there are more colors in store. They are see through but the material is good for the price. I know they are the same! But I just couldn’t decide which one to take. I’m planning in going back and buy the black one, which now I regret not getting. 

American Eagle was having a big sale so I went to see if they had something I would like. And they did. All of these were only $7.40! And I think that is an amazing price for AE. These are super comfy and soft.

And last, I went to Forever21 and found these, they were not on sale but the price wasn’t bad. Ok, I find the dress kind of sexy to go to class but for the price I had to have it. Or maybe I can work something out and make appropriate, like with a jacket and leggings? If your know Forever21 clothes are not the best quality, but they were cute, good price, comfortable and when I saw the Star Wars t-shirt the geek in me jumped around in happiness.  I found the hoodie and dress on the site, if you are interested.

That is all for now.

I would like to know if you liked this post. Should I do more ‘hauls’ in the future?

Hope you have a nice day!
