We’re having friends over for dinner tonight and it’s the perfect opportunity to dress up. Then I don’t have to worry about walking anywhere and if things don’t work out I can just change. But I don’t really feel like dressing up today. I think that accedental shopping trip kind of put me down a little. In stead I am angry at myself and the world. I’m angry at myself for being such a shopoholic and I’m angry at the world for making fashion move so fast. At times like these I have to return to the teenage rebel in me (the person I used to be ten years ago). It’s not even that it’s not trendy: the chains and the jeans are all right. It’s more the way I’ve put it together that is different. Or maybe it’s just my attitude towards it.

Jeans: Levi’s 571

I hate it when it happens but at the same time I love it. As earlier stated I am broke. I was even broke the last time I went shopping a few days ago. Today I had no plans of shopping at all. Then I took my regular Saturday stroll and I walked passed a flea market. There I saw this woman selling a bunch of vintage shoes at a low price. The best part was that they were all my size. I love vintage shoes!

First I saw the brown boots. I’ve always wanted a pair of vintage looking boots. I love the way they look with casual outfits. They’re kind of ugly in a way that I find interesting. These even had tiny golden horse shoes and whips on them. Then I saw the silver heels. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of metallic heels even when they’re not in style. It’s just something princess like over them - at least the vintage ones. And these were even made by a brand called Princess. I couldn’t say no to that. Then I noticed the navy platform heels. They were the answer to my nautical shoe problem.

I had to borrow money from my boyfried to afford them. He got really grumpy. I have promised him over and over again that the next time I buy shoes I’ll get rid of an old pair. Every time I come up with an excuse for why I won’t go through with it. Today it was that I have started to store the shoes two and two on top of each other. I think it’s safe to say that I’m a shoeoholic. I had been a little sad the last week because I hadn’t bought any shoes in a month. Is that sick or what? I can’t go a month without buying shoes. And it’s not like these three pairs mean that I can go three months without buying new ones. Bottom line is that ten years from now I will have at least 200 pairs of shoes. I guess it could be worse. I could be taking up loans to buy loads of designer shoes. Still I hate myself a little right now.

I shouldn’t even be giving her the attention as she’s already on the cover on this months Elle. Still I found her statement on fashion a little funny:

“I love fashion. Ever since I was three years old I’ve been going to fashion shows. I still love to go shopping and buy my own stuff. I do all my own styling.”

I guess that explains why she dresses like she does.

Even though I think fur coats look very beautiful what I love most are the the fur details in the fall collections. I love how it’s mixed with knits, laces, satin and all kinds of fabrics. I also love it against the grey colors. Hopefully we’ll be seeing alot of faux fur in stores when time comes.

Roberto Cavalli, Celine, Hermès and Louis Vuitton.
