These shoes!

Due to being incredibly busy I didn't get to post anything during the last couple of days, unfortunately. There were several jobs I couldn't postpone, but for now I got some free time to enjoy the golden October weather, which is unexpectedly frosty but sunny though. So: yesterday was fleemarket-day, finally again! I went there very early with a friend of mine, wearing my new beloved autumn-style shoes, which I simply love - aren't they the cutest thing to wear in this time of the year?

red shoes

Today is red-shoes-day! I don't wear this pair very often because I always find it hard to walk on kitten-heels... but they looked so fine with the red curduroy skirt, that I had to give them a chance for today. I combined them with a soft, black 60s style babydoll coat and black lace tights. I sort of felt like little red riding hood, even though I didn't wear any cap ;)

today's outfit: black and purple

I'm not that much for this strange dots-trend which arose sometime last winter. Neither do I like the silly skull-print clothes you can find anywhere you go. Strange enough, today I found myself wearing a dotty outfit with a scarf, in which you can find pink skulls if you only look hard enough... don't ask me. I felt like dressing up a little darker as it was quite dark in the morning too, which made it hard to take good pictures. So this is the result:


It's a simple combination of an embroidered babydoll dress with a purple longsleeve, a black corduroy skirt, purple knee-highs and a beautiful black pair of Mary Poppins style vintage boots, which I love.

boots again!

I love Autumn! Well, it's got its grey sides, it brings rain and unfriendly bunches of clouds are putting this veil on everything, that makes you want to spend the whole day inside. Which is great too! Who doesn't love long, dark evenings with hot chocolate, candles, warm woven socks and a good movie on TV?! The second thing: boots! You can try hard but actually it's no fun to wear boots in summer! So pulling my beloved boots out of the closet after months of negligence is the most lovely welcome-back I can imagine! Today I wear them with a simple curduroy skirt and my fluffy fake-fur-coat I introduced lately...

today's outfit

Spending the weekend at a Bavarian village wedding left a lot of positivity inside of me. Even though it's grey outside and raining, I feel sort of joyful and enjoy the day just as much as any sunny Sunday! Well, and the bride and all the lovely wedding decorations inspired me to wear flowers! That's not too inventive now, but maybe I wouldn't have had the strength to dress up against the weather...

I especially love the new grey tights I bought, which are extraordinarily soft and got these nice folky patterns. They fit perfectly with my favourite oxfords...

a necessary choice...

And, talking about shoes today: am I right there is no fall collection of Irregular Choice yet?! I can't quite imagine but I didn't find anything on the site. But though I can rarely afford to even buy one single pair, I'm excited to see what autumn will bring for our feet! Here are just 10 reasons to love Irregular Choice and to die of excitement to see the new collection (click to view larger image):

ethical footwear

There a a couple of brands, which produce shoes without leather, sweatshop-free and so on. But I wouldn't have expected to find a fashion brand which creates designer shoes on a vegetarian basis! The label Beyond Skin has brought out a lovely new fall collection for this year, these are my favourites:




By the way: look at those gorgeous cushions in the background! Aren't they loveable???

Booooooots

I have to admit, that I am not very much into 70s music. Not at all, to be precise. Oh my, but how do I love 70s vintage clothing! It's inventive, colourful, mostly comfortable, I just love the naive cuteness of back then. Today I received this gorgeous pair of vintage boots in a very autumn-like wine-red. I bought them on eBay, of course, and they were less then 15 Euros! I love them...


I got two beautiful gobelin bags to combine them with, I just can't decide which one fits better... I'd probably take the black one because it's sort of dangerous to have two shades of red which don't fit perfectly. What do you think?
