New shoes - 8 & 7

Oh what a lucky girl I am. I found these fabulous Vera Wang shoes for a great price. They were marked down from $200 to $78 - woohoo!

I can't wait for Spring to come so I can wear these.

Karl is here! 9

For those of you who love Karl Lagerfeld as much as I do, I highly recommend that you watch the following link on Net-a-porter.com:

His new collection is so cool and you can also see him interviewing himself.

The man is a fashion genius!

Day 356 - Outfit 356

Dark grey sweater, Yumi Kim top, jeans and Ed Hardy trainers.

The Countdown begins! 10

Oh my word, its official! Only 10 more days remain of my self-imposed "Shop-my-closet-365-challenge".

How exciting and scary at the same time! It basically means that as far as I know, I have worn a new outfit every day for the past 355 days. Wow, I must be either very determined or slightly nuts. 

I'm thinking that I should do about 10 extra days, just in case I repeated any outfits by accident.

I've also had a request that I should perhaps post a few pics each month along with a trend report. I'm seriously considering this, but no promises yet. I think I'll enjoy my first few days of wardrobe freedom and then I'll probably be so bored after finishing this huge commitment, so I might enjoy the occasional posting...who knows. Only time will tell.

Day 355 - Outfit 355

Michael Kors leather jacket, DKNY top, skinny's, brown boots and gold necklace

Alexander McQueen

I spotted this amazing Alexander McQueen dress on the Bergdorf Goodman website and just had to share it with you:



Gorgeous!

Day 354 - Outfit 354

Black sweater, print top, grey jeans and black boots 

Shoedazzle.com

I'd like to introduce you to http://www.shoedazzle.com/. It is a website where you can buy really cool and trendy shoes, all for $39.95 per pair.

I believe you first take a style quiz and then you discover your style profile and afterwards, you select your shoes from the stylists' choices for you.

I have not tried it, but it sounds interesting and might be a great idea for someone who has a bit of a shoe addiction.

The year of the dress

It looks like this year is going to be "The Year of The Dress!". (in my opinion). I'm so excited about how "IN" dresses are at the moment because I love wearing them.

Dresses are so easy to wear, you just whack it on with a cute pair of shoes and perhaps an accessory or two and you are good to go.

Not only do I love dresses because of the ease and comfort that they present, but also because of the way it makes me feel. I feel feminine, girly, lady-like, pretty, etc...when I wear a dress, so what's not to love about feeling that way.

I would love to thank all the designers for having so many dresses on their runways for Spring - I'm extremely grateful!

Ladies, 2012, is the year of the dress.

Black sweater, black and white dress/tunic, skinny's and blinky ballet flats
