Fashion // New Zara Shoes, My Favorite Trend & Current Wish List

Hi guys, I just wanted to give you a short update on my two latest additions to my closet and my favorite trend for spring and summer. During a shopping spree at Zara, I came home with two new pair of shoes. #SorryNotSorry Can I also give a shoutout to the best boyfriend in the world -- which is mine -- for letting me shop without pointing out the amount of shoes that are already in my closet? I love you, babe.

After taking this picture, I realized that there was a third pair that I got at Zara (again, #SorryNotSorry) and I forgot to photograph; you can see and shop them here. I've been wearing espadrilles for as long as I can remember and apart of the fact that they are super comfy, I also love that are made out of leather. It gives them that extra edgy vibe. If you're a longtime follower of the blog, you know I love myself some leather goodies.

The flower printed ankle booties were on my wish list for quite a while, but they seemed to be missing from every Zara store I visited. I even ordered my aunt and boyfriend to look for them in the Netherlands, without any result. Didn't I tell you that I have the best boyfriend in the world? Anyway, I had already given up on them when I entered the Zara-store in Düsseldorf and they were the first thing I saw. I already wore them with an all black outfit, but I can't wait to combine them with a casual white shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans.

As for the tropical printed babouche slippers on the right: they're the ultimate love or hate thing. If I had a say in it, I would choose them as my favorite trend for this spring and summer. They're casual but edgy and the options on how to wear them are endless. Plus, don't we all love a romantic, Arab, Aladdin vibe? I spotted this pair and tried them on at the Zara in Maastricht, but didn't get them because my sister kept telling me how much she hated them. When I was laying in bed, all I could think was: since when do I listen to other people's opinion? It literally felt as if I neglected my morals and values. *Insert dramatic tune here* So the next day, I asked my boyfriend to take me to Maastricht again (best boyfriend) and the shoes and I lived happily ever after.

WISH LIST:

I also spotted another pair of babouche slippers, this time by Jeffrey Campbell, but they are sold out everywhere! #Cries They're called the Sarika-Emb flats and they're so Dolce & Gabbana. Most people will think they're too much, but I think they're the coolest. I already subscribed myself to receive an email when they're going to be restocked, so fingers crossed! What are your thoughts on them?

New // Jeffrey Campbell 'Wordz' Sneakers

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the absence on the blog. They removed the plaster about 10 days ago and I've been taking advantage of my regained freedom to the fullest. Going out with my friends and family, driving my car again... The little things in life. My ankle isn't 100 % healed; it's still swollen and it hurts if I walk too long. The fact that I can't wear heels just yet kindled a strange interest in sneakers. So when Zalando offered me to pick out something out of their ridiculously huge collection, the choice was already kinda made. 

I set my eyes on these dope Jeffrey Campbell-sneakers and immediately clicked them home. I rarely order things online. There's always a worst case scenario going on in my head: online shops trying to steal my money or my packages getting lost in the mail somewhere. Drama! That being said, I consider Zalando as an outsider. I love to order things on their website: it's extremely easy to use and you can track down your order on the web. An extra plus if you're as impatient and paranoïd as I am. The fact that I already received my sneakers after 3 days makes it even better and oh... there's free shipping too. I could go on for hours. You just have to see it for yourself. Definitely an A+ for 'user friendliness' (not sure if it's an existing word and if not, it is now). 

These sneakers are definitely from the 'You love' or 'You hate'-category. My dad and I both love them, my mom, sister and brother-in-law hate them. I think they could spice up even the simplest of outfits and can already imagine wearing them with a tank top and a pair of skinny jeans. Or maybe even with a dress. Talk about finding your inner Rihanna. The 'Pow!' and 'Bam!' are removable, so you kinda have 2-sneakers-for-1. #DoubleScore Secret: I was wearing them around the house and suddenly had the urge to hand out some 'Pows!' and 'Bams!' myself. Superhero shizz!

So, what d'ya think?
