Still in the midst of my finals, I can’t wait for graduation and for it to be over, even though it will all start all over again with my masters next year I thought I would share with you some of my latest purchases and gifts courtesy of some amazing people. Some very girly stuff and others not so much. This is the thing with blogging, you get to meet and befriend people would never have otherwise never met and with blogging comes some fantastic readers. Thank you for sticking around and for all your lovely comments and emails!

The Black Rose ring gifted by Julie, my bf’s sister. Un tout grand merci!

Elementum Dress gifted by the lovely Greta, check out her blog it really is worth the detour.

So the Dany shoes I have had my eye on for so long finally arrived this morning, courtesy of Baker Shoes. These beauties are pretty impressive and must admit I am not sure if I would wear them outside of the house. I am still a bit fashion-shy when it comes to certain pieces. Are there certain pieces you really love but have problems flaunting down the sidewalk?

I am currently wearing wearing a lot of ankle boots, and at the moment I am living in my low ‘cowboy’ boots, Zara wedges and my new grey wedges (that i found on ebay and are identical to the Zara ones).

If you remember one of my very first posts, I spoke about the collaboration between Rosalind Keep and Oasis. Last week, I received my very own Keep creation, and I have to say  really like it. It’s fun and a bit different! I am just a bit worried I look like I’m wearing an apron.

What do these beauties have in common you might ask? Well in case you havent spotted the large chunk of equally gorgeous wood dangling of their feet, it’s the blogged famous Dany shoes by JS. I don’t know what it is with them, but I have found my self very attracted to them and pondering just how I might be able to balance myself on a pair of these beauties. These are not normally the kind of heels i gravitate towards (admire the choice of words) but hey f they look good and the catwalk, look great on these girls why can’t they look just as good on me? And god know I could uses the extra inches that comes with them. Well I have looked and searched for someone to deliver these over to our little Island but with no such luck…until… Bakershoes who have kindly offered my desperate self a pair of silver Dany platforms and will ship them to the UK!

Now all I have to do is be patient (I think I’m capable of such a thing) and start practicing walking on stilts. Then again, if I can’t walk in them, I hope I can at least look this good twirling around in my office chair. That will do!

I just wanted to share these lovely rings with you guys. The street ring is the new concept of Maleen Neel. The idea is pure perfection; Straight from the start it’s a child’ game of pick and mix. First you chose between the Alley and the Boulevard ring, you then simply chose your size, then you chose three stones among the 47 stones available you would like to receive FOR FREE, and voila. The price is very reasonable too, 132,66 euros to be exact.

Enjoy

So I spoke some time back about how well my first order over at yesstyle.com had gone. Well my second order, yes yes there was a second order, went as well as the first. I know a lot of you are not at ease about buying online but I really do recommend you try Yesstyle, not only are the prices pretty cheap as everything is in USD (for us Europeans this means cheap deals) but the costumer service and the delivery is flawless. I looked so happy that the Boyfriend decided to take a few snapshots, so I thought I would share with you my latest new additions to, my already overflowings, closets.

What I brought: Fleece-lined hooded jacket, Turtleneck knit, and lace hem slipdress

From the Chanel catwalk to Alexa Chung’s feet into bloggers virtual shopping baskets, the clog has made it’s way into the fashion sphere. I thought I had seen it all in 2009 with the comeback of some of the most unexpected trends such as latex, socks and upon toa sandals… But it looks like 2010 is kicking off with clogs of all things. Like them or hate them, it sure looks like they are here to say. Indeed, when Jeffrey Campbell starts designing the shoes bloggers lust for, it becomes a trend and a trends even though they don’t stay for ever they sure do stick around.

As for me, I quite like the JC Charlie clog in black (or maybe in brown) but before I spend 100 Euros on a pair clogs I desperately need to figure out how and when I’m going to wear them. Then I remembered I had seen on Le Fashion, the Jessica Simpson’s (yes you heard me correctly and there is no need to state the obvious) Dany wooden heels which were pretty incredible too, but that front platform scares the living crap out of me. Decisions, Decisions.. The next step is finding someone who will to the UK.

Remember my post here on a great buyer I had found on ebay? Well I promised you I would let you know how it all went. The shoes arrived earlier than expected (15 days), and both pairs where what I had expected and so much more. The studded boots are an identical copy of the Isabel Marant ones (and the best I have found so far) and the suede boots look amazing. Both where ridiculously cheap and shipping didn’t cost much either. All in all two great buys and I have gone back for more.

Remember, I spook about this new and creative designer and her upcoming collaboration with Oasis here. Well, her collection is finally available.

rosalindkeep:

After an excited wait and a LOT of fantastic press (Grazia, Vogue.com, Style Bubble, Guardian, Telegraph mag, Heat, Look and many more) my Designer Collective collaboration with Oasis is now available to buy instore or online at www.oasis-stores.com!

If you have any contact please email me at rosalindkeep@gmail.com. Please also email if you would like to be added to the mailing list where you’ll be amongst the first to hear about new developments and collections.

Many thanks

The Levi’s 603 Superskinny fit (“Let Rip”), seen here on Erin Kling. She and she alone, has brought these perfect superskinny Levi’s to the top of my “buy me” list. They just look perfect with a pair of black heels, dressed up or dressed down.

Vintage Levi’s.

The original 501 Levi’s with a modern twist. A limited edition designed over the summer by Elin Kling. When it comes to style, Elin sure knows a thing or two (or three). I looked desperately on ebay to see if anyone was selling them but NO luck there Is there really a limit on how many pairs of jeans a girl can own, because i easily see myself in these too.

Did any of you get their hands on these beauties?

DIY ripped shorts. Levi’s has more often than not been used to create the perfect ripped denim shorts. I like if when this raw fabric is paired with soft cotton T’s and black lace.

Have any of you done something different with your Levi’s?

It’s that period in the year soon, were it is almost compulsory to be wearing something short, sparkly and pretty. I might have found an alternative to all the sequins and sparkles, but that still says ‘Happy New year’; the cage dress from Asos, seen here on Rachel Bilson.

So, What do you think of this dress as a New year eye’s outfit?

Sure, these gorgeous T-shirt dresses came out some time ago but they are still just as great now as they were back then (which in the fashion world means a mere couple of months).

Her perfect knits are already available on the Topshop website. However, it’s going to be Jimmy Choo all over again to get your hands on a pair of her, quite literally, killer heels. There is no release date and prices are not yet available. I will keep you posted as soon as I hear anything.

Check Topshop’s blog for further info.

Call me old school, but I have always been a bit skeptic of Ebay. That was until now! Meet kaf782, ebay power seller with a 99,6% positive feedback. But he is not just any seller, a shoe seller by the hundreds. You thought you had seen it all with Zara, Acne, Topshop… all copying some of the must wanted shoes and boots out there. But you haven’t, not until you check this out.

About the buyer:

kaf782, as I said above is a power seller which means he sells in huge quantities. He has had 847 feedback and reviews with 99,6% percent being positive. All say that the items were what they expected, delivered fast (from China, I am guessing it was not stopped at customs since all seemed to have received their ‘order’), the price is reasonable too (most shoes are at 24,99 USD). You will find Balmain, Isabel Marant and Louboutin Look-alikes just to name a few.

But they also sell some gorgeous (which I don’t think but could be wrong) non-copycat ankle boots, great for winter.

The only draw back; the suspense is non-existent, as you will almost always win! Not due to the fact that no one wants them but more due to the fact that he has what seems like an endless stock.

Follow this link and let the shopping begin. Have fun, and I would like to say don’t spend too much, but what the hell, Go for it.

and Thank you Mr. ‘kaf782’

I will be sure also to let you know as soon as I receive my two pairs.
