HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY

Few days ago I found this online shopping website jessicabuurman.com. Most of the items are obvious replicas of well known designer clothing, but hey, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Prices are definitely more affordable than the real thing, so I ordered a top that's basically a remake of Helmut Lang's drape top. I'm curious what the quality is like, so once it arrives I'll let you know!

NEW NAME, NEW SHOES

It was a long time coming but I finally have a real name for my blog. And new Wang shoes! My very first pair actually. It's definitely true what they say about them being super comfortable, and with 50% off I simply couldn't resist. So welcome to Black and Beyond and cheers to new shoes!

WANGLENCIAGA

I absolutely love Alexander Wang! His designs are exactly what I look in an item, which is quality fabrics, minimalism, easy to wear, and has this little extra something that makes him so great. And now he's gonna be the creative director at Balenciaga! While Balenciaga is a bit out of reach for me, I'm still super excited and can't wait to see FW2013 show!

ALL BLACK

 Got my leather sleeve Zara blazer in mail the other day and a perfect weather to wear it. I have my personal Zara online shopping thing going on with the help of my friends back in Estonia. I think the selection is better in Europe, plus it's cheaper. I'm not a huge fan of shopping in the CBD anyway, so this works out great for me.

BLACK LOVIN'

I finally figured out how to make one of those layered picture things, so here it is...I plan to improve through creating more of this kind of theme or outfit inspirations. I know it's summer and all but I'm still all about black. And more and more loving the idea of sheer anything! This top here with sheer detail would be so great to wear with...well anything pretty much. And oh the cut out boots...I've had my eye on these for awhile now. Gotta love Topshop and international delivery!

ALL THINGS SHEER

             

         

       

At the moment I'm in love with everything sheer, lace, and see through. Maybe it's the few hot days we had here that got me thinking about how amazing it would be to float down the street in a light-as-feather dress wearing high waist hot pants underneath. I really think it can't get much more sexier than that. Although recently I read some old chick magazine where one guy said that the sexiest thing a woman can wear is lingerie, heels, and an apron! I really don't know how that could possibly be sexy...But I do think it would be hilarious!
