Ruffled up

1. LBD | 2. Necklace | 3. Strapless | 4. Clutch | 5. Heels | 6. Matelassé | 7. Louboutins


There's something about ruffles. Ruffles spell out a certain class and complexity that make it perfect for the Holiday Season. Something far beyond the normcore that has been around lately; or actually making a big effort for the ones you love or want to impress...

Sicily

 
 Marni for H&M pencil skirt for some Italian-ness, Zara top, Cos: bucket bag (sort of Givenchy Pandora small without the pricetag).  
Sorry, little focus because my camera needs fixing

I know I will get some raised eyebrows when I said I went to Sicily for business, but the only familia I have are Dutch people so don't worry. I had some time for play and I sure did have a good time. I was amazed because I had not the slightest idea it would be this beautiful and so unlike the other parts of Italy I have been. I told my friend that Sicily is my latest Island-crush (together with Jamaica which I haven't seen since 2011, I have long distance relationships with islands). I will show more photos from it soon.

Sergio, the guy who rented the apartment told me I was lucky with the weather, and I sure was with 24 degrees celcius at daytime. It was good enough for a swim in Mediterranean waters still warm enough to dive in. I finally had the chance to wear my Lisa Marie Fernandez Garance, because I gained a bit of weight on the right places since I bought it (the tatas) so I didn't look too much like Karlie Kloss unedited (link here)

I had a new girlfriend staying over; normally, I'm not into one-night stands, but she won me over with her hungry eyes. She stayed on the couch, though:


She was really affectionate, only a bit rough with her nails.

However, I'm still into men...there were some awefully goodlooking men racing around the island: I literary raced with one of them and he was massively surprised seeing a woman behind the wheel. And if the typical Italian bloke had good sense of dressing up, the Sicilian variety takes it up a notch. So fashion girls, get your new destination booked (ps: I haven't seen many Chiara's around there, but some women were fab dressers as well)

Anyway, it was wonderful!

Some music to accompany with it:

Marni Marvelousness

I think I have the most UNROMANTIC story of how I got my Marni for H&M:


I wish I could tell about my dangerous night sleeping in front of the H&M fighting off drug-addicts who tried to stick their dirty needles into my skin, the terrifying exitement minutes before the opening where other people tried to strangle me over the time-band-access, and the battle between fashionista's who sticked their heels in my eyes just to get the perfect dress we were fighting over...

But I can't...


I just got my bloody haul online!

I did suffer some clicking-finger cramps, though...I hope that makes the story somewhat more romantic and me a more adventurous fashionista :D


To continue about how unromantic my Marni Haul was, let me include a picture of my pickup point:


Can you believe how expensive Gas is these days? If you don't have a car, you probably can't...

The Damage:

*silk colourblock dress (really large for a size 36)
* dotted pencil skirt
* Marni red belt (looks like an airplane belt)
* (not featured on the pictures, a silk top)
* Returned: the unpattered bag: it looked too fake for my bag-snobism


Actually I couldn't have been bothered to be the zillionth blogger to write about Marni for H&M, if it weren't from a request I got from my twitter mate HabileuseHelene. I liked this girly from the start: she's a Berliner habitant & she is a tremendously cool kid ♥

The 'modelling'? Meh...maybe later...
