Awh what a sweet story Stephen! Your mom should believe it now!

And Davey just think of these expensive shoes are rare vinyls or casettes

[VintageCeline]

Ooo I like this thread!

I am more of a bright colour fan. I love buying vintage bags from charity shops, old jewelry ect.

Being a poor student, I can't afford designer - But I look elsewhere. It's all about working with what you've got.

I'll post pictures in a bit

didn't i say I would never spend that much on shoes!  

[CellyDee87]

OMG I lurve this thread. I will be sure to post some closet pics when I get back home. To describe my style, would have to be classic, I guess I like timeless pieces nothing too out-there, kind of similar to Charlotte from Sex and the City, or least she is one of my style icons alongside Celine. I have so many jeans and plain tops and tees, but I must admit I am a cardigan freak, I love them and wear them with everything, black, grey, charcoal, beige etc love them. I also love my flowy chiffon tops for going out, and yes I am a shoe nut!

I really like stuff from Dollhouse.  Those are my main heels are Dollhouse.  Their stuff is really cute.
If you've ever seen Greenlee on All My Children, my style is similar to hers.  I like really cute stuff and very grown up things.  I love to wear v-neck blouses, (my current obsession is my zebra one and my black polka dot one) dark blue jeans or black courduroys ( spelled wrong) and the shirts with the vests and sometimes scarfs come with them.  I'll have to take pictures later.  I love Dollhouse heels like I said and i have a lot of shirts from Julia's Closet.  They are really cute and girly.  I want to get me some boyfriend trousers and some blouses with the ruffles because they are really in right now.

Well, basically I buy whatever I like. I like bright colours like pink and blue and yellwo but I enjoy being 'man in black as well As for my style... It's glamouros as a matter of fact. Except for when I have to rush to the shop to get some toilet paper or whatever... The celebrity whos style I might be looking up to is... Peter Page to some extent. Maybe. Asctually I'm not crazy about looking like somebody famous. However, I do adore the style of Celine Dion, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sharon Stone & Demi Moore. I believe they are the most fashionanle people out there. Anyway... I spend MUCH on clothes. And even though I buy stuff regardless of the designer I like some labels like St.Oliver, ZARA, Motor and Colin's. But I like second hand things as well... Sometimes you may cross something really fabulous there Anyway... I czn post some pics of what I like to wear here if it's OK

[ennostiel]

Ok Frida, I love your closet!
And here I go... (pictures will probably be posted later when I come home [I'm studying in Warsaw and only have some of my clothes here] and CLEAN my closet! Frida you keep it all so neat... love it!)

• A few keywords to my style would be: elegant but fresh, girlie and not always predictable... nothing extravagant but individual:)

• A character/celeb whose style I love is: Celine (oh that Balmain and Louboutins...), Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie; polish: singer Anna Maria Jopek, actress Marta Żmuda Trzebiatowska

• In my closet you can find: straight stretch blue jeans, tons of cotton tee's and tops (sorry for copying Frida but that's true), warm&comfy cardigans and sweaters, some turtleneck sweaters, A dresses, A skirts (NO supermini - still working on those thighs:D), a couple of jackets and sweatpants to walk around the house

• My COLOURS are: a lot of black, olive green, some dark green, purple, different shades of blue (for the jeans), white/grey/black combinations and a little yellow... I'm currently working on adding more colours especially as those spring/summer '09 trends are so colourful!

• My favourite items come from: H&M, Orsay (love them ever since they changed their style and came up with the 'Thank God I'm a Woman' slogan), KappAhl, Zara, C&A

• Any 'guilty pleasures'?: Unfortunately no Balmain, YSL, Manolo Blahnik or Louboutins in my closet, but I need to work on that

[Frida]

Whaaaat? You have KappAhl in Poland?! I tought that was a strictly-Sweden chain.. The only thing I buy there is socks and underwear.. not a fan of them, never been.. But another Zara-lover, yay

[Bellamy]

I like Club Monaco and Versace lately.
I want a BV messenger bag badly, but I don't want to sacrifice my Panasonic PDP for a bag.

Yeah, I'm not sure how this happened but apart from the Scandinavian countries Poland is the only country that has KappAhl Well I'm not such a huge fan of them, there are times when I can't seem to find anything decent, but sometimes they can really surprise me And Zara... yeah I love it

[Salla]

We have KappAhl in Finland as well, I hardly ever go there though. All their clothes somehow look the same. I heard that they launched a Vintage line and I was intrigued, but really dissapointed when I saw the clothes, they're exactly the same old stuff they always have just a few little lace details and maybe lighter/pastel colors. Boooring.

I think I said I'll post photos of my wardrobe, but yeah, I'm still not done with cleaning it, so no photos. BUT I have this blog in Finnish, which was gonna be my au pair blog, but I haven't found a family yet, so it's just my daily boring life right now. Anyway, I've taken into habit of photographing my outfit of the day (not nearly everyday though), so I guess you can see a bit of my style in there. I'm not really happy with my wardrobe right now. It's missing a lot of things, but I'm working on it.  

[Frida]

^ Aren't we all (missing stuff and working on it). I don't think I'll ever become fully satisfied with mine..


But I got my very first Hermès item today! A silk plissé scarf







$300 minus a 50% discount = $150 + $30 in s/h + $80 in customs = total of $260. Still a bargain

[Salla]

Yeah, that's true. I'm in this weird phase where I don't really know what my style is and it's frustrating. Plus it's so not easy to find clothes in bigger sizes, but I guess I'm doing ok for a big girl.

Same here.. I think I'm somewhat okay for my height (the BMI thinks diferently though), but it can be completely IMPOSSIBLE in some stores.. I don't get why larger sizes are so hard to find in our part of the world, we're not petite people LOL





I took my grandmothers old gold wedding ring while waiting for my Hermès one.. Started playing a little

Yeah, it's really annoying.   And if there are bigger sizes they're usually some super ugly clothes no one wants to wear. I wish I knew how to make clothes myself.  

Lookin' good.

[ennostiel]

Girls I SO understand you! Just over a year ago I was a 14/16 (US size, European 42/44) and seemed to keep growing bigger, but I finally managed to work on myself and now I'm an 8 And still not quite happy enough... Oh I'm exactly Celine's height. So it's sometimes depressing to watch her perfect body...  

And Frida, HERMES! OMG! you're a walking Mirandla Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, haha Oh I envy you...

Believe me, when you do know how to sew you hate doing it for yourself (at least for one growing up with a sewing mother)

Oh my goodness I hope not, she's such a b*tch

And I think there's too much focus on theody/sizes.. (that you NEED to be a size 0). A person with extra weight can look SO much better than a skinny person, it all depends on the clothes, and the RIGHT size.. too many girls try to squeeze both halves of their bums into a pair of jeans that will obviously only hold one half, and voila: we have the muffin top effect.. NOT good.. why are so many afraid to get 1 or 2 sizes bigger, and actually look more SLIM?  

Before I was diagnosed I had lost 30 kilos (in a couple of months, without doing anything) and I thought it was FA-BU-LOUS! "GREAT!! I can finally wear a size XS or S Yahooooo!!". What I didn't see until I was healthier and gained the weight again, was that I was nothing but skin and bones, and it looked HIDEOUS. I never, ever want to loose my curves ever again.. so it really isn't about the size of YOU, deal with the extra number ont he size tag..



I like my curves

Could be. But I hate going into a store not fitting into anything I like, so I dunno which would be worse.

Thanks It feels really good but I'm not going crazy, and I so wouldn't want to be a size 0... I just want to be happy with the way I look and feel healthy & good. But I'm not all obsessed with losing all my curves, oh no way

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be size 0 either, I probably never even could be that small. lol

[ennostiel]

I once saw a photograph of a model, size 0... If it weren't for the makeup and decorations and all, I would have sworn she was a hospital patient diagnosed with anorexia... She looked just horrible, really only skin and bones... Our dear Celine is thin but at she looks human and healthy, and that girl looked like a nightmare..

But we're making a huge offtopic here, we're supposed to talk wardrobes and clothes ;D I'm waiting for some other people to show what they got and talk about their style...

[Frida]

[Bellamy]

Actually I feel your pain too. Everyone calls me fat in China. You must be able to fit in Dior Homme slim cut pants to be called as normal in China.

It's ridiculous really..
