This ruffled top is definitely one of my summer favourites. It has some kind of extravaganza to it that makes all of my dull basics (old skinnies in this case) instantly look fashionable. Could use more of that…ha, ha.

Going out on a summer night in black & blue shades. I remember when this used to be a hideous combination (and my mom still doesn’t like it!) but guess what: now I can’t get enough of it! One good thing about the post-SATC-era: There are no rules in fashion. Thanks, Carrie!

I am crazy about platform wedges! The chunky heel makes my silhouette look more frail (I think/hope). BTW these Costume Nationals were my favourites of all S/S 09 sandals: a sculptural heel, nice details and AQUA BLUE!  Couldn’t resist…

See how beautiful the ruffle detail is?

Top: Baum & Pferdegarten (sounds German, but it actually is a Scandinavian brand!), jeans: old, pearl necklace: vintage, silver necklace: Tiffany, shoes: Costume National, small clutch: Bottega Veneta (my mom’s), nailpolish: Splendeur & Blue Satin (both Chanel).
