The perfect little dress

I have had this stripped American Apparel dress fro a couple of year and have only worn it a bunch of times, but for some reason I just can't seem to get rid of this particular one. When my friend asked me to borrow it and jumped to the occasion and thought it was a bout time I did a post on this dress. It has nothing really special about it appart from the fact that I find it really expensive for what it is. However, I do love a dress with good pockets and I have to say it is a great dress to be worn over and over again (and through all seasons) without screaming 'this is the hundredth time I have been worn the same way'.

J'aime mon carré

Hermès, J'aime mon carré Paris/london/New-York

After Burberry street style attempt to bring youth back into their classic trench, it is Hermès's turn to do something similar. I actually like the result and can't wait to be at the "j'aime mon carré" Hermès party in Septembre. Until then I thought I would share their video with you, what do you think of their youthful approach to the classic silk Hermès scarf?

Fedora hats

... rain and with rain comes... umbrellas, wellington boots and (this fall/winter) ...Fedoras! I am a huge sucker for big scarf and hats, any hats will do. I had been on the hunt for the perfect velvet Fedora for this fall, not to small but not to huge as not to look like you have just come off the boot from Mexico. I found mine in H&M, Fashion Against Aids collection (sneak peak in previous post, HERE).

As always, the Fedoras were first spotted on the catwalks, and in the recent add campaigns, and the girls from the blogosphere have hopped on the trend again, and this time so did I. First up are my three favorite ways to wear it, plain black and white outfit like Elin, very laid back and cozy like Karen and brown with the 'borrowed' from the boyfriend' look like Golestaneh.

My Aldo Plexi heels

Finally, my nude Aldo Perusse plexi heels arrived. It was an ordeal to get them to Brussels, and I would love to able to say it was worth the wait. However, all I have been able to do so far is prance around the house in them (looking kind of mad) and I managed a quick walk, what with the never ending rain that is falling down on us. This being said, with every bit of sunshine we have left, there is no doubt I will be wipping these heels out. Anyway, here are a few pictures I managed to snap today, following in the spirit of plexi and transparant heels, as seen previously. As I am writing this post, my new heels are nicely tucked back in their box away from any possible sight of rain.
