Aqua Essentials

I think I will never get tired of pastel, black leather and miista combinations! Really high on my wishlist is a perfect moto jacket with a more boxy androgynous fit to offset the prettyness of the pastels like these from IRO, Marc Jacobs and 3.1 Phillip Lim because although I really love the studded biker I'm wearing I do think the fitted shape, soft leather and studs take away from the sleek trousers and blouse, so maybe saving up for a perfect leather basic might be worth it.

A much seen street style sneaker right now is the Nike. The Nike Running Sneakers are perfect for those sleek New York and Scandinavian chic looks worn daily in minimal and often sleek black looks and I have envied bloggers like Alice and Sabrina for pulling off the looks perfectly for a while now. 

But the Nike LunarGlide+ 4 is more then just fashion envy, it is a perfect lightweight running shoe with an adaptive glove-like-fit and an excellent blend of springy cushioning and support coming in a multitude of hot colors and color combinations. I think it's time for me to replace my all stars for the LunarGlide and add that bit of city fashion sleekness to my looks that I envy so much! (and instead of black I might go for the above pastels)

New York Shopping ~ Part 2

More of my Shopping Haul!

Normally when in New York, I always shop around Williamsburg Brooklyn (vintage), the East Village (more vintage and consignment), Nolita and Soho and not so much in the whole 5th avenue area but this time I actually spend time nosing around the avenues of the riches!

I went to Henri Bendel where I bought the freeze 24/7 products (yes! skincare!) I had used these products before (when still living in new York) and although it promises to reduce your wrinkles, it does something else! It actually really reduces blemishes, really! On me that is! and the cleanser which is also a facial mask is just heavenly! Plus these products are really good for overly sensitive skin!  

I have to say that I was kind of annoyed by the sales-people at Bendel! They were so pushy that it actually became kind of rude and It was almost hard to get out of the store (they seemed to really want to make sure you would empty out your bank account right then and there)

The Columbus Circle Sephora is nice and less crowded then the Soho store which might be a nice change! I bought Bobbi Brown concealer and Bare Essentials foundation.

The shoes are from Zara! (5th ave, 52nd street) I really liked this Zara (yes, all Zara's in New York seem to be very different) I bought the cream/powder floaty pants there as well!

Ahhh and the rest of the soft tones and creamy whites on the rack! I guess I have to show them properly in outfit posts!

OUTFIT: P is for Pastels

wearing: Mint Dr Martens, white H&M jeans, vintage lilac t-shirt and Pastel pink (silky) biker jacket


Not all Biker Jackets should come in Black and not all of them should be in Leather! Although I must admit; a perfect Black Leather Biker Jacket is a wardrobe must that I'm still missing!
