SNAP OF THE DAY

My today´s garage market triumph: a Florentine porcelain pot and two plates! Spent 2.50 EUR.

FASHION SPRING

Finally we have Spring back and full Summer collections in stores. Reason enough to celebrate this new fashion season charmed by soft pastel nuances, chic vintage flavors and bright color moods.

United Nude, the architectural footwear brand, invited to an exclusive shopping evening at there boutique, to view and try on their newcomer designs bearing names related to their inspiration. Check out 'The Web', 'Geisha' and Crazy Lazy' etc. on unitednude.com.

And I found my must-have sandals for the season. Flat, perfect to shorts and long dresses. My wardrobe shrank last year, after three cleanings-out only the best of the best passed. A casting show for my clothes, you´re in and you´r out.  My classic white blouse is out, which I really missed this week for some reasons. Me and a white blouse? Its like Eva and Ryan.
Back to my sandals, which I did not dare to try them on, my tight budget (do I even have a budget?) prevented me. Its sometimes good to be a rationalist. And currently my life is a casting show.

Further summer inspirations presented at Mühlbauer´s fashion show yesterday. The best high-end fashion & hats in town.
