Reliable Flats

We have these flats to rely on..

      - days that we decide to rest our heels

      - when the dress calls for nothing but nude sandals

      - travelling in style 

      - moments when studs, lace, and other embellishments work nicer on flats; or

      - subdued glamour and stylish comfort

XOXO,

Erika and Marga

Daily Source of Inspiration: H&M Spring 2011 with Giselle Bundchen

As if this new mommy hasn't given birth, here she is strutting her stuff in H&M's New 2011 Spring Campaign.

The looks just made me we want to try the peasant look for a more "girl next door" feel.



The look screams boho and I like how flowy and easy going it feels. It looks so comfrotable too. I guess the challenge here is looking more of summer boho than of just plain sloppy! 

This reminds me of the Mango look several seasons ago with Scarlet Johansen. A long floral maxi dress in a flowy fabric with an abundance of bangles, baubles and accessories!

I really like the casual cool look of this particular one. it's time to bring the white jeans back!

Actually liking the style but the print is a little too wallpaper-ish for me. Then again, I'm a sucker for solid colors!

The beauty shot. Whatta beauty indeed.

This is perhaps my favorite look of them all. Not too pajama-ish and still very boho chic. Loving the rope accent as a belt. So much more personality don't you think?

All in all, the H&M collection for Spring 2011 has defnitely made an impact. And Yes, I am so happy it screams of Spring! Personally prefer spring over summer. Summer for me is a little too laid back and too hot to even bother!

What's your spring scheme?

XOXO,

Erika

Don't Overlook Your Lingerie

We all think that the only thing that matters when it comes to fashion is what's on the outside, well, truth be told, what we wear inside also makes a huge impact on our outlook and well being.

For some reason, wearing nice underwear rather than the run-off the mill generic plain undies makes me feel a lot better.

One of my pet peeves is actually, underwear that don't match. I.E. Black Bra with a Nude Granny Panty. I have actually sworn off granny panties and have made it my own vendetta to spend on nice underwear- even if only for my own pleasure.

If I had all the money in the world, I would spend on the iconic, La Perla. And here is why...



With delicate satin-twill braiding and an Art Deco-inspired design, Jean Paul Gaultier for La Perla's peacock-blue sheer tulle long-line bra is an exquisite piece of lingerie.

Inspired by the costumes from Madonna's 1990 'Blond Ambition' tour, Jean Paul Gaultier for La Perla's nude satin conical bra with padded shoulders is a sensational underpinning.

Known for his provocative designs, Jean Paul Gaultier for La Perla's black sheer tulle triangle bra with intricate satin-twill braiding is a darkly glamorous lingerie choice.

You will never have a half slip as nice or as luxurious as this... I would actually wear it out!

Pair it with this and you'll be ready to stop the show!

There is just something sexy and mytserious about underwear that immediately gives you an idea about the person. What does your underwear tell about you?

XOXO,
Erika
