Feeling French & Mini Ring DIY


Remember when I couldn't decide which color pumps to keep? (here)  If you've been following me for a while you know that deciding between things are just not my strong suit but I've finally made my decision, as you can see, and I couldn't be happier with these gorgeous heels!
Going out for "coffee time" at a French Bakery inspired my outfit today.  I would've preferred to wear my YSL#14 red lipstick but I hate leaving stains on white coffee cups...  So happy that the weather is cooler now in the evenings and I can wear my beloved waxed jeans.
Obsessed with my new chain link bracelet I got from HRH Collection (here).  Ordering was so easy and the package arrived at my door in no time.
Mini Ring DIY:  I loved this H&M ring as soon as I saw it on the rack but being in a hurry to leave just grabbed the first ring and left... At home I realized it fit my ring finger well but not my middle finger where I wanted to wear it.  The next day at H&M, wanting to exchange the ring, realized that I forgot the ring, but ended up getting the bigger size as it was the last one.  Back at home, fiddling around with both rings while on the phone, stacked the two together and realized I really like the way it looks and kept both!  I did a lot of realization those two days (haha).  But for an Armor Knuckle ring under $15 I say it looks pretty good!

Blouse:  H&M (old)
Waxed Jeans:  Zara
Vest:  ? (real old)
Pumps:  Jessica Simpson
Flower pin:  H&M
Necklace:  F21
Bow leather bracelet:  F21
Chain Link bracelet:  HRH Collection
Armor Ring:  H&M (2 rings worn as one)
Beret:  borrowed from my son
Handbag:  Burberry
Sunglasses:  Gucci
Nail Polish:  Illamasqua "Prosperity" (here)

  3. Wow, I love this because I LOVE beret but I never know the correct way to wear and every time I try I look like I have a pita bread stuck on my head! How did you managed to make it look so cool? Maybe I need to 'google' the correct way to wear beret for better result. Darling, you yourself have a fab collection of bags! This Burberry beauty is divine and I don't even have one from Burberry yet in my collection! As for the CC, I was lucky as Captain started buying them for me quiet early before the price hike that is yikes! ridiculous! So, if brand new is a bit out of reach, some good seller on ebay could be the answer. I bought a few from ebay too, especially the vintage pieces. Birthday girl MUST have a gift and I am going to have fun looking for something cool for a fab girl like you :)

  13. I seriously can't even count how many accessories you're wearing that made gasp with a "ooh I like that one" reaction. Your outfit could not be any more perfect for the occasion as well. Have I ever told you how much I love that you dress for occasions?
    That Eiffel tower cookie is the cutest thing!!! I probably couldn't even eat it either. Well, okay I could. I'd just do what you did and take a picture before I did. I take pictures of almost everything I eat! No idea why. hahaha Weird.
    Those shoes are incredible and you are working them for sure. And the stacked rings is just another brilliant Dana move! Duh! :)

It looks like a knuckle ring, but nope 2 and I am glad you decided to keep both. Love the post from below. The photos look beautiful too, you've discovered some great locations recently!
