RELAXING

I was totaly into military trend, partially because I always thought it looked cool, partially because my love is in the Norwegian Navy. So, today I tried to capture my outfit wearing this to-die- for military frock, however, courtesy of my remote control I got nothing.
Anyways a peak into my today- I spent the morning reading British Vogue and not so surprisingly stopped at 'best internet stores' section! Afterwards I picked my mail and guess what came in today!Can't wait to show it to you as the dress both as a top and a dress is a serious killer!

Love,

Irina

ISABEL MARANT SS13

Isabel Marant ss13 available at MODA OPERANDI for couple more days. Marant has done it again in form of wrapped leather skirts and floaty silk shirts with laces in front  Actually this collection made me nostalgic as I recall my cousin having a similar style shirt 10 years ago or so, that I loved borrowing from her closet. it was the prettiest pink with leather laces but it was the coolest late '90s had to offer. Or was it early 2000? Anyways I have set my heart to get both of the above and the coolest belt ever made!

The best part about whole Moda Operandi shopping is that you actually split the amount in two, so everything seems so much more available!

A least in my head...

 Not so over- the- top happy with temperatures dropping so fast. However it gave me an excuse to dig out these old Stella Mccartney boots from some seasons ago, and with thigh highs making a little comeback this was a perfect choice.  So I am still going for summerish combos while I still can, as someone had mentioned SNOW?!  

Oh, well...Enough with the weather forecast.
So, I have to say that this Givenchy sweater was one of better investments we (note that it is we, not I as the sweater belongs actually to Ch) have made.
What impressed me the most is the cut and the shape of it, as it is so well made around the shoulders and the neck.

Perfect pairing with Mccartney frill skirt, as it really gives it the edge and a touch of boyish charm for a dark turn on the sporty silhouette.

  My new love, for all intentions and purpose.

I am wearing Givenchy sweater, Stella Mccartney skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs purse and Stella Mccartney thigh high boots

IN MY MAILBOX

...is this cool little thing from Alexander Wang .

I have tried it on in Paris, but couldn't decide. However it has stood the test of time as I am still thinking of it, so I have finally decided to order it.

Now, it just needs t arrive.

INSPIRATION

No suprise here, you know what I like.There  are side splits, quilting,ankel boots, boxy yet structured silhouetts and long coats.All that in leather.Seriously is there anything else a girl needs?!

In my case-no.

LAYERS

Great weather today! Sunny and crisp and cold, with the scent of winter merging with the wonderful smell of fresh pastries from the bakery! Autumn at it's best, I'll say.

Anyways layering is much required with the temperatures dropping, but at least I can wear sandals, as long as it's dry on the ground.So, I have actually layered two jackets to keep me warm today (slightly drastic it may seem), it's actually a great tip of as the leather jacket really gives the edge AND it protects you from the wind. 

Underneath, it's all about wool and leather, or rather cashmere and leather.

And of course sunnies!

I am wearing jackets by Isabel Marant, Sweatre is Marc by Marc Jacobs, skirt is silver leather Fillipa K and heels are Alexander Wang. Sunnies are RayBan.

CROPPED

The top and  the skirt are from Kling for Guess by Marciano

I have been looking for a perfect cropped top and this one might just be it! Seriously, it has been ridiculous how hard it is to find simple, minimalistic ones without lace or paprika on it(although I wouldn't mind the paprika one when off to Sicily next year! -yupp hooked on Sicily). 

Not so sure with on the skirt though, although it is gorgeous, slightly skeptic if it works on me..
