I'm really sorry about the lack of posts our Internet is still not set up (can you imagin!) actually it's quite a disaster and forewarn anyone who moves to Germany be prepared! They connected our Internet to another home needless to say its been very frustrating. I have also been busy pulling our home together my mom arrives tmrw yippee so it's been a whirlwind of furniture shopping etc. I hope to get my hostess with the mostest list out tmrw from Jakob's office! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Burgundy Skirt For Less!

J Crew 79.99

Single Green Female $24

I was looking for a Christmas present on the J Crew website for Jakob and jumped over to the women's section. I love the way they style their clothes and I suggest stuff for my friend Jane that would look great on her. On to my point now! I found this burgundy skirt that is the exact same silhouette as the skirt in my Etsy Shop, how exciting is that! I love the way J Crew paired it with the black and white polka dot blouse.

Frugal Fashionista Friday...One Jacket Two Looks!

The motorcycle jacket is a perfect addition to you wardrobe and easy to find at your local vintage store! Mine was a closet purge form my best friend Paula and I paired it with my favorite vintage pieces.
In the first look I was inspired by winter white and when I saw this skirt (16 euros) at Humana I knew I had to have it! The Sweater is from H and M which I borrowed from my daughter Michaela. I completed the look with my go to purse my vintage Coach
 In the second look that night Jakob and I went to our favorite restaurant DUDU yes the name sounds weird but trust me the food is not doo doo!!! I took my summer dress ($23) and paired it with my cream sweater (8 euros) and my needlepoint purse (16 euros) both from Humana. The scarf in both pictures, I kinda took over from Jakob since he never wore it and besides nothing's better than wearing your boyfriend's clothes :)

Green Seams Thursday... ASOS Green Room!

Frugal Fashionista Friday...Vintage Halloween!

Last Saturday Jakob and I went to a Halloween party at the Soho House. It was to say the least, a bit of a mission! Why you may ask? well Jakob doesn't like to dress up and coming from many years of Halloween in New York I was not havin it!!!! So we went on the hunt at first I wanted to be Cleopatra and Mark Anthony but Jakob was not to keen on wearing a skirt...humph! So it was plan B we went to probably the only Halloween shop in Berlin and Jakob found the devil mask. Michaela suggested he wear it with a suit (I gather to be devilishly handsome) and I was set on being an angel but realized there wasn't very much white in my wardrobe so I opted to be the devil's minion, which is way more fun! Here is the vintage goodies I added to my wardrobe! 

The vintage belt was a closet purge from my bestie Paula, shiny YSL tights I found at Humana for 16 euros I put an American Apparel bodysuit bottom I cut over the tights and wore my Zara heels I bought at the flea market for 10 euros and voila there you have the devil's minion!
