Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! I bought a couple of new clothes from BCBG because they were on sale. I’m beginning to buy more quality basics for my wardrobe as I know they will last for a long time and will go with anything. I feel that it’s a big change from before where I used to spend recklessly on any big trend that I see. What about you? Do you find your spending habits change over time or it remains the same?
Summer makes me want to wear flowers in my hair, wear flowy white dresses with bare feet and feeling carefree…
Everyone is talking about Oliver Theyskens and his immensely successful collection for Theory. Read the rest of the interview here.
My new fashion editor crush: Kat Webster from Elle Uk. I love that she wears crop tops to the office. I do too! (with high-waisted pants and skirts of course).
I love how these ladies dress to work. They look smart, chic and pretty!
I’m definitely getting some statement gold pieces to wear this summer! Here are some of my favorites! 1. Sequin Gold Snake Rhinestone Cuff $88.00 (charmandchain.com) 2. House of Harlow 1960 14KT Gold Crescent Cuff $79.00 (Shopthetrendboutique.com) 3. Low Luv by Erin Wasson Snake Hinged Cuff in Gold $245.00 (Shopthetrendboutique.com) 4. Seychelles ‘Cream of the Crop’ Sandal $80.00 (nordstrom) 5. Michael Kors Metallic python envelope clutch $735.00 (netaporter.com)
Men’s Fashion Week is coming up and there will be plenty of gorgeous male models roaming around online and off. Here are a few of the faces I love! From left to right: Hedi Segalen at studio klrp, Vladimir Ivanov at Ford models, Pierre Harald at Major Paris 
Isn’t this outfit gorgeous? It’s created by amazing Miss Moss and her collaboration with Modcloth. More looks here. 
Have a blissful day my loves! xoxoxoxoxoo

I love wearing flowers in my hair too 🙂 it’s wonderful
I think we need to thanks the 50’s for inspiring the modern days!
Kat Webster reminds me of the that actrice in The Mentalist haha…
anyway have a nice monday 🙂

BCBG is a great brand so those pieces will be with you for a long time. Smart shopping!
For me, it used to all be about buying cheap. I had no sense of what was good quality and what wasn’t. But after seeing my clothes lose shape after a couple months (even some after a couple washes!), I knew I had to buy better. So now, I look for quality, but I still look for affordable prices. It’s not easy, but I have some great pieces with this new mindset. As for men’s fashion week…I really should start following it! If not for the clothes, for the models! 😉 btw, that male model on the left….YUM!

i always try to buy things to better my wardrobe and make it more cohesive overall, but sometimes it is just so hard to avoid that impulse buy! making a list of the pieces i need does seem to help though
Those guys are a bit spunky? Lol.
Ahhh, this post reminds me of that song ‘if you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair…’ 😀
I think I may have fallen in love with that Michael Kors clutch? So gorgeous!
Anyways, have a lovely Sunday!

i love the white dresses. they look romantically beautiful! love them all!

I spent a lot of money on things like tshirts and totally neglected work clothes… now I’m trying to build that portion of my wardrobe up. That and cute dresses.
Hey! there are too many ideas in just one post.
First: your new purchases.
Then: The flowers on the hair.
Then then: Outfits.
Then then then then then: another thing.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen: Gold accesories?
Lol, too much to make just one comment 😉 but I like the main ideas.
Have a great week, see you 🙂
omg the first picture! the dress, the belts. wooooooooooooooooow!!!
What did you get at the BCBG sale?! I am a HUGE fan of their clothes… I don’t feel bad at all about splurging on timeless staples that can be worn many different ways. Although I do get caught up in the excitement of buying/styling trendy pieces and have shopper’s remorse occasionally, I try to get trendier items at stores like F21. One of my coworkers made hair clips out of fake flowers… I bought three and I can’t wait to wear them for my blog!!! Have a great week! <3shelby

My spending habits are ALWAYS off the chain.
I love BCBG clothes. They make some of the cutest stuff without being overly trendy or trying too hard. Plus, they have really small sizes, so the clothes actually fit me!

Love that Modigliani painting! Lately I’ve been more careful of what I buy I also used to spend on trendy pieces but after watching too much Tim Gunn and Nina Garcia I’ve decided to build a basics wardrobe !

This is a wonderful post from top to bottom but what struck me today was
the off to work look in the middle photo. Totally something that I would wear except my
hair in a braid-not long enough.
Hi Shin!! I’m back from my trip~ How are you?
I love the soft flowery ethereal look~ but my strong brows always make me look very weird if I put flowers in my hair…. sighhhhhhhh
As for Oliver Theysken, I loved his dresses back in his Rochas’s time. HUGE fan of his gowns, in fact.
Lot’s of lovely picks…I love the look of flowers in wavy beachy hair so Boho Chic!
I am definitely with you 100% on buying good staple items rather than following trends that come & go they may cost more but I see them as investments – they will stand the test of time.
Hope you had a great weekend my dear x
Great post dear!! I agree w you, I want that gold statement pieces, too :))
Xoxo, K.
Love those floral head pieces!!!
http://www.inloveiwascreated.blogspot.com
Wonderful pictures, thank you so much for sharing dear xoxo
hi Shin! Aw I’m so glad you liked the guest post! You create such wonderful posts yourself – would you be interested in creating one this month for Amber’s Mouthwash? I bet my readers would *love* to hear from you! Your posts are always amazing. 🙂
What kind of basics did you buy from the sale? I’ve noticed that my buying habits have changed. A long time ago I used to think that just because something was “in” I had to buy it. Now I buy what I like, because *I* like it. 🙂
Ambersmouthwash
Hey my lovely Shin!! Again such a fantastic post!! Of course I love flowers and florals!:) And I love your new style crush, golden items, what the hell- I LOVE THE WHOLE POST!!!:D
kisses
Hi, Shin! Oh, I can definitely tell you that now I buy much less than i used to, I’ve learned to choose quality over quantity, and I know my style, what suits me what doesn’t, I never follow blindly the trends, just get inspired by them. I’m going to read the interview with Oliver Theyskens now, but I don’t think I agree with him regarding people today dressing better than back in the ’50. That period was the most stylish fashion decade, women and men had took great care of their look, not only their clothing, which was impeccable. Maybe today the individual style is more emphasized, but I wouldn’t describe our times as stylish according to my definition of style. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo
I love the first picture, the dress is so pretty and I like the combination with the brown belt. Also, Kat Webster’s outfits look amazing. Great post! 🙂
Great post, as always!
I love Kat Webster s style, too!
About shopping, yes, by habits did changed around the years…
Before I used to buy stuff just for the sake of buying something.
Still, I haven t reached the point of buying stuff that will resist the test of time.
Have a great week!
Kisses
I’m totally into those first 3 pictures. the colors, the hair, the summery feeling,…
and buying basics is the way to go i think. but you need something trendy and flashy once and a while to spice it up 🙂
I love white dresses!

spending habits will change with personal income fluctuations.
I’m loving white at the mo, accessorizing with gold statement jewellery. Great feature xoxo
Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope to see you again sometime!

Totally agreed with you to buy more quality basics for the wardrobe:) I love to spend money in luxury brand of shoes and bags because they are in good quality.

for me it depends but lately I am buying more and more quality stuff… I have realized that with the huge amount of money I used to spend on cheap stuff I can easily afford a few clothes of higher quality!

I love that first dress, but without the long part at the back! The last picture is so adorable, love that fashionable couple mostly! I used to spend money in things that I called cute and now I regrade! I’m trying to spend money more carefully, I hate the fact that in Albania we don’t have any summer job. I mean teens. I will be much better if I would spend some time working and with my money earned buy things I need by my own. Thanks for the comment dear, I loved it and it means a lot to me!

Loved this post! The Miss Moss selection is so adorable!!! And thanks for the link on Theyskens/Canonero interview!!! I admire so much the work of Milena!!!!! She signs the costumes on every single one of my favorite movies…. Needless to say more…
And yes, I think that our shopping habits DO change with time…
LOVE the crazy #2 gold necklace. how perfect!! and the first romantic images remind me of summer garden weddings, which makes me think of all the things I still have to do for mine :p

Love all of them! First three pictures are fabulous!
hugs and kisses by Mani.
First of all I love Theyskens is one of the most interesting designers and his collections for Nina Ricci were just wonderful.
However, I don’t change a lot my habits ’cause I can’t avoid to buy trendy clothes and I have very few basics in my wardrobe…but I thinkt hat you are right to buy more of those clothes.

i love buying quality basics, and when i want to buy a fun, trendy item i usually go to places like h&m or forever 21. love the boho hair in the first pic–wish mine looked taht good natural!
OH MY GOSH. I love the outfit with the full romper in the blue pattern… SO CUTE. Especially with the bright lips and strappy black shoes. God, I need better things in my closet, stat! And the Seychelles sandals are so so fab! This is a fantastic post.

http://fashionindahat.blogspot.com/
NOOO WAY crop tops to the office?! So brave!
To answer your question ,I think there are a lot of things ( I think about clothes like basic items for exemple ) which back every years .
So I look if I need to buy it again ^^ But it depends , I love shopping so why do I forego it ? ^^
yeah we love the to, there wear willly nice 2

Wow, what an amazing post full of eye candy and inspiration! I’m alway so so inspired by you! I too love to shop for quality basics that will stand the test of time rather than chasing trends. I have my eye on that Snake Rhinestone Cuff, it is AMAZING! I love how the guy is dressed on the left, and the outfit to Miss Moss is beautiful! Happy Monday sweetie! ♥
Shin, Your style is sooo fabulous. I’ve been investing in good quality shoes lately and it’s sooo worth it!!
I’m with you – as I get older, I find myself investing more in quality items rather than spending money on throwaway fashion. I love these workwear shots – it’s so nice to see women dress stylishly without being overly boring (I’ve always hated girls who stuck to pants suits). And I need that Erin Wasson cuff!
I WANT- no sorry, NEED that outfit made for modcoth. Good post!
http://closetscoffeechoruses.blogspot.com
I think I’ve become more money conscious as I’ve gotten older. I pay more attention to the things I buy and don’t go on as many spontaneous shopping sprees.
In love with all the outfits especially the first ones, they reminded me of a weeding That I have in 2 weeks and I yet don’t know what to wear!!
Thank you, your blog always give me good inspirations!!
http://www.clarillapilla.com
I completely agree with you on that! I used to spend all my money of cheaper pieces of clothing and now I try and spend my money on good quality staple pieces that will last longer. Especially with purses!
Love the photos you post, really inspirational!
I hope you can check out my blog too 🙂

Lovely post!

in LOVE with that gold clutch!! and i totally get the flowers in your hair thing. there is this tradition we have where whenever it is someones birthday we go out wearing a flower crown xx
i always adore all the things you post! i can’t wait to see what you’ve picked up from bcbg. i agree – i am spending more $ on classic, timeless pieces rather than trendy items as i’m getting “older” or rather, “maturing”. lol xx
I tend to invest in quality and hit up H&M and Zara for my trendy pieces. It`s been a good strategy for the past few years and helps me put my money where I really need it…this weekend actually I got the cutest little summer dress for $15 from H&M and then shelled out a considerable amount for a beautiful silk piece from Club Monaco. A staple and a trend…perfect!
Great post as always love, hope you`re enjoying your Monday!
