SHOPPING: Cheap & Chic.
Shopping is such a beautiful word and it makes me happy. I prefer doing shopping abroad because clothes seems to be more beutiful and cheaper. I love boutiques like GUESS, Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy and others but mostly I love visiting simple shops like Forever 21 ( we do not have it in Russia!), TopShop, ZARA, H&M ( last collections since Versace for H&M made no sense as I think) etc.
Last month I was in Amsterdam. I've spent hours to buy some cool clothes to be ready for summer season. Actually, I did not buy any brand clothes except Louis Vuitton beige scarf. But I enjoyed visiting simple shops like H&M and Zara. Also I fell in love with some local shops and we bought everything we could there.
I discovered STEVE MADDEN and bought 3 pairs of different beautiful shoes there. Also I fell in love with prints and trends at every Amsterdam's shop - stripes,spikes and transparent texture. I've bought a lot of similar clothes. But it is all in fashion this season so it was legal to but as much as I bought.
Clothes is not really cheap in the Netherlands but if you try to find the right shop, you will get lost there,inside. So I've lost in one. It was a 4 floor local shop which had a lot of different clothes inside. I fell in love with jackets for Spring/Summer season. There were about 6 different silhouettes of jackets and about 40 colours with their own shades for each silhouette. I wanted to buy them all because they were really cheap but the quality was perfect ! I've bought a bright yellow jacket (as you see on the picture) and my mother decided to buy a carrot red one and light blue ( Oh, I am so happy we have the same sizes!)
Also, I bought leggins (10 Euro only!) with beautiful b&w stripes (u can see them on the picture). These leggins bring me back to early 80's,the time when I haven't been born yet.
The cutest thing about Cheap & Chic shopping (specially when you are in the Netherlands!) is searching for your true love. Yes,I am talking about shoes,boots and other beautiful footwear for your feet.
As I mentioned before, I found an amazing store called STEVE MADDEN and I fell in love with their models. Each pair costs about 150 Eu. and has perfect quality.
Also I found a lot of Doctor Martens's models and I bought one. Actually, my dream is to but docs with a flower print but one day I will find them and buy.
I fall in love easily. Specially,when it is clothes or shoes. Moreover, I approve that love from the first sight exists. I fell in love with this creature (picture on the left).
Look on this perfection. I was about to cry when I realised they had not my size and it was only one shop at Amsterdam. Pearls and spikes is my favorite grunge combination. If I had them I would wear them with New-Look dresses and look absolutely Marc Jacobs's stylish.
Oh and about Marc, I've bought his special edition of Coca Cola. The edition is so beautiful. I LOVE MARC. I'd marry him if he was straight and 10 years younger. I am so obsessed with Italians and he is so special for me. Also, special love,hugs and kisses to the cutest Italian designer - Stefano Gabbana, such a good person who cares.
As I mentioned before, Amsterdam has a big variety of gorgeous shoes. They have different shapes and colours, silhouettes and shades.
If I were Kim Kardashian I would buy all of them but I am Kristen who will own all front rows soon so I am just buying something what I fall in love with a lot.
I have something like this model from the picture on the left but in blue shades and it looks really perfect when I put it on. I always think of Lady Gaga when I wear them. And...it IS comfortable, I swear !
All fashion lovers must have this model upcoming season.
When I see black and gold coloured clohes, I think of Justin Bieber who started saying ,swag, every 3 minutes in each YouTube video or interview.
So this model is swaggy. Sorry for using this word but it is what I think of when I see gold and black materials combined.
I wanted to buy them but this shop had no sizes for me.
I always fall in love with clothes and shoes with black and gold theme because it makes me feeling higher somehow. I love how these colours are combined in some arcitectural creatures but when I see it in clothes I just buy it on the third second I see it.
I hope I will find my size someday. I know Giuseppe Zanotti has something like this in one of last collections but I haven't find it yet. But I would die for them !
One of the coolest things I've bought - STEVE MADDEN shoes. I am not saying it is copy of PRADA or something but they remind me PRADA's style that is why I am so in love with them. As soon as I saw them, I was ready to pay them no matter how much did they cost.
It is a great decision to wear them with my new leggins and that yellow jacket.
I hope I proved you that shopping is not expensive always. You can buy a cheap thing and look perfect with it. Everything depends on your style. So before you go out to buy 50 new sweaters and 40 new pairs of shoes,check out last collections,designers love you, they will help !
