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):

gudrun!

Again, and as always, I just totally loooove the new Gudrun Sjödén Collection for fall. I'm not into designers that much, but there are two or three who always manage to have some really nice ideas. Gudrun is definitely one of them. I just adore her folklore-inspired style, the natural materials and the lovely colours and prints! This time, after she was inspired by Frida Kahlo last year, she chose some Italian Renaissance styles and a dottie-line, too... seems like dots are not only floating H&M worldwide. P.S.: Notice the amazing cushions again, her interior accessories are just as beautiful as her clothes!

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???

peace!

Today I discovered this beautiful hippie fashion site soul-flower.com. Inspired by the red-golden glistening in the trees and the late-summer air, I just felt like looking for something intense, with strong colours and a natural feeling. The shop is very hippie-like indeed but I found a couple of items which I would happily combine today =) So, this would be my look-and-feel for Wednesday:

I especially love the skirt and the bag (embroideries again!)... my, I guess I'll really have to find out the shipping costs. The items are not too expensive and it seems to be good quality, so maybe I will seriously think about buying anything listed above....

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?


boots: vintage
bag: vintage
beret: H&M
earrings: bijou brigitte

fake fur

The day welcomed me with sunshine and summer glistening in the trees, it's warm and friendly and nobody would even dare to think of winter. Autumn is is knocking on everyone's door though so I'd been starting to look for suitable clothes a couple of weeks ago. A friend of mine owns this gorgeous coat with fake fur applications, which I always loved! So I went to find myself something similar and got these two beautiful items on eBay. I just can't help falling for embroideries and curduroy has always been my favourite fabric... I'm still looking for something to wear with the vest, it would have to be something simple, something black probably...

TODAY'S FAVOURITE PICTURE:

Singer and Songwriter Odessa Chen, who I adore, not only for creating this incredibly unique and ethereal kind of music. Her style is just enchanting to me, an intriguing embrace of a strong attitude and this certain fairytale aura. Kisses for Odessa!
