Shark Attack Travels... // Monaco

Hi guys,

I apologize for staying away from the blog for such a long time. During my absence, I went on a trip to Italy with my best friend to visit two of our ex-colleagues who are studying Italian. It was the perfect break to re-charge my batteries and was exactly what I needed. During our stay, we went on a road trip to Monaco, which only took us 45 minutes by car to get there. I've been wanting to go to Monaco for as long as I can remember and it's even better in real life.

Some of the highlights... Or lowlights, call it whatever you want:

* Paying 7 euros for a Coca Cola;

* Standing in front of the Hotel de Paris to see al the Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Porches... (you get the picture) drive up and down;

* Dario insulting a local by saying that he didn't like the royal palace -- if looks could kill;

* Feeling like an outsider with my Longchamp bag and cursing myself for not bringing my Chanel bag with me. My mom made me paranoid by saying I'd lose the bag with my luggage at the airport or would forget it somewhere;

* Drooling over all the pretty Chanel Boy bags;

* Chilling at Life Club;

* Hoping I'd bump into Pierre Casiraghi, without any luck;

* People watching at Café de Paris;
* Deciding it was probably best not to go to the Monte Carlo Casino;

* Laughing at Dario who played a paparazzo, hiding behind every trash can and yelling: "OH MY GOD, IT'S KRIZIA THE FASHION BLOGGER" from time to time.

Outfit // Mötley Crüe

The sun is shining, I've been spending all of my time with friends and family. This is my first outfit post after breaking my ankle and recovering from it almost 2 months ago. Life's good lately. I've added a new band shirt to my collection: Mötley Crüe for the win! I got this top for only 3 euros during the sales. #Score

I really don't have that much to say this time. Just a comfy look with my most trusted trademarks: leather, studs, band shirts and red lipstick. Plus, I thought that my new Dior-sunnies would at a little touch of 'glam' to the outfit.

Thoughts?

Personal // Instagram June 2013

July has started, so it's time for an Instagram-recap of June. It seems that I was all into quotes last month, something I can get tons of inspiration from. Anyway, I'm not going to babble too much, don't they say a picture says more than a thousand words?

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?
