New // Chanel Large Shopping Bag

Photobucket
My mom's 50th birthday... An event that couldn't go unnoticed. In order to celebrate this, we decided to get her this large shopping bag with caviar leather and silver hardware by Chanel. My mom shared her love for this bag multiple times and she really needed a nice, yet practical bag. But my mom's the eternal doubter. She will always find an excuse not to buy something and would rather spend the money on my sister and I, rather than spending it on something nice for herself. 

So, my dad, boyfriend and I took off to Antwerp for a little trip to the Chanel store. As we entered, we only saw this bag in a grey/taupe color. The saleswoman told us that it was a limited edition color and that they didn't had the black one in stock. Now, I know my mom: she will always go for black. It's practically the only color she wears. But my dad really wanted to gift her the bag and after he heard that my mom would be able to trade the bag if she wanted another color, he decided to go for it. I was still hesitant, but then again, who am I? 

When my mom opened her gift - after yelling at us that we shouldn't have gotten her something - I could tell that the color just wasn't her (even if she tried her best to hide it). I made her very clear that it's not "just a bag" (I sound like a White Chick now) and that she should get the one she wanted. So, the day after, my mom went on to Antwerp to order the black one. It turns out they did have a black one with silver hardware in stock. Needless to say that I was not amused, 'cause it could have saved my mom a one hour-trip to Antwerp.

I put this post in the 'New'-section, because there's no harm in borrowing the bag from time to time, right? ;)

Anyways, what do you think? Do you like the black or grey bag (which you can see in the last picture) more?

Shark Attack Loves... // Lea T In Givenchy

Photobucket
Most of you will already have seen this picture, but I'm just literally obsessed with this outfit. Lea T, you know, the male-born-turned-female-model, looks flawless on her way to the Givenchy-show in Paris. Discovered by Riccardo Tisci in 2010, she quickly became his muse and made into the brand's ad campaigns. It's natural to say that most of the outfit above is Givenchy.

Anyway, the Rottweiler-shirt is totally badass and awesome, but those boots are just to die for. While they're just slightly over my budget, I've been searching for other great options. So if you spot a pair of lookalikes, holla at me. See how they turn the much hated skirt-and-leather-boots-outfit (which is a no no for a lot of people most of the time) into one of the best outfits ever? That's what I mean! 

P.S.: I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been working my ass off for the past month, which makes it almost impossible to blog. #SadFace

Outfit // My Babies

Photobucket
Yes, I'm still alive. I'm so sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been crazy busy with work. I've got to earn some money to maintain my blogger lifestyle, right? ;) As you can see, my spray tan and dip and dye already disappeared. Back to my old self! I'm thinking about going for a pink and orange dip and dye soon. 

Anyway, I finally got the chance to snap some outfit shots with my new babies: my Isabel Marant sneakers. I've been wearing them non-stop, even though it's too warm outside. Since, for me, there are no rules in fashion, I couldn't care less. The same thing goes for leggings: I know most people out there feel that they aren't meant to be worn as pants. But then again, whoever said so? Wear what y'all like, people. 

To be back on topic: I love the contrast between the classic jacket and the sporty shoes. I don't work out at all, but I like to think I do now that I own these sneakers, lol. And there's nothing wrong with hitting the gym - or the mall, in my case - in style, right? ;)

I feel like I'm babbling all over the place, so I'm going to shut up now.
Have a nice day!

Random // Smells Like Teen Spirit

Here are a few lessons in dip and dying (or just one): if you dye your hair a lot, you should know that blue and purple will turn into grey in no time. It has happened to me already and I'm loving it. But I'm quite sure that some aren't too fond of grey hair, so don't say I didn't warn you, children. So, now my hair is a mix of the bright pink that survives the longest, grey and a little bit of violet, baby blue and mint green in between. It already got me 'My Little Pony' as a nickname... And I'm loving it! 

My mom wanted to take some shots to see my D&D's evolution (I know, totally crazy) and we decided to do one of those overly girly, 'spontaneous' photo shoots. Even though she told me to feel free and pose however I wanted, I could secretly tell she wasn't too fond of the suicide gun and middle finger poses. Hah, sorry mom! I decided to put the pictures together in a GIF, liked the result and here you are. As for the shirt... What more is there to say?

New // Isabel Marant Anthracite Bekket Sneakers

Photobucket
The wait is over. If you're following me on FacebookTwitter or Instagram (Username: Krizia_S), you've probably read that I've finally received my Isabel Marant sneakers. I ordered them months ago and the people at Graanmarkt 13 told me that they'd "probably arrive in July, August or September". So when I was told that the sneakers arrived three days ago, I forced my dad to drive me to Antwerp. (Thanks, dad!)

I decided to go for a more neutral color, which I'll be able to combine with numerous outfits. Even though the sun is shining non stop outside, I'm already wearing them. I know, my feet will probably be ruined by the heat in a couple of hours, but what I always say is: Patience isn't a virtue. It's a waste of time.

I'll try to upload an outfit post ASAP!
