Shopping on eBay has it’s ups and downs. Yesterday I received a pair of leopard pumps, in the right size and all, but the size runs so small I can barely force them on my feet. They’re marked a UK 6, but they’re no more than a 5 at most. If anybody need shoes, these are up for grabs.

Today however I received a dress I paid $7 for that I had hopes for but didn’t really think would work. It is now my favorite dress.

This is a combo I’ve been meaning to sport for ever. First of all I have lacked the shorts, secondly it’s really too hot for this look. I should be baking in the sun, but I tried that yesterday for 45 minutes and I was so bored I couldn’t take it anymore. There’s a reason for my skin tone; I’m not just born this way.

Over to something else: Does anyone have any idea for how to prevent yellow stains under the arms of white shirts? Or to remove them after they’re a fact?

Shorts: H&M
T-shirt: Threadless
Blazer: H&M
Shoes: eBay

Once again Style.com has shared pictures of models back stage for our pleasure. I love the way Hye Rim Park in the first shot has mixed florals with stripes, and the layers of Julia Stegner in the second picture and at last Jessica Stam’s extreme simplicity.

Last year the army jacket was big while to me it feels more like a classic that trend piece. This year we can dress up our outfits in military details. We’ve already seen crosses, where some of these are iron crosses and other military shapes. I’m going to look secondhand for old war medals and stuff although I’ve already seen them have copies at H&M’s mens department. It doesn’t even have to be very military to work.

First is Ralph Lauren, rest is Anna Sui.
