Shoe indecision

Shoe indecision

Indecision. Since sharing with you my travel wishlist, I’ve thought a little bit more about what pair of shoes I would like to buy. While I am picking up a pair of Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, I’d like something that is a little more classic, that I could potentially wear every day in the workplace if need be. As designer options are pretty limited in New Zealand, especially if I want to avoid paying high duties and taxes on shoes bought online, I figure this is my chance to pick up something special.

Ashley Fogel blouse, T by Alexander Wang cardigan, Topshop skinny jeans, Vintage boots (similar), Witchery leopard belt (similar), Marc by Marc Jacobs bag The countdown until Europe is now well and truly on. At this time in two weeks I’ll be jetting across the sky making my way to London, so it’s only natural that the excitement is starting to set in.

Holidays abroad generally involve shopping. Whether you mean it to or not – well, perhaps that’s just how it works for me.

Snug

Snug

img 1 source unknown, img 2Snug. Feeling like I could use a warm shearling lined jacket and an oversized woolly cardigan about now, fur collar included. Possibly even worn at the same time. Spending my morning with shivers and my evenings with goosebumps isn’t the most fun. I imagine I’ve missed the boat on both the above pieces, although that doesn’t stop a girl from dreaming.
