This summer, you could have seen me wearing crochet clothes A LOT, especially my crochet shorts that I bought at Zara, at the beginning of summer season!
That was definitely my best buy of the season!
In my today's outfit, I paired them with my crochet top, that I thrifted past summer for only 1 €!(but it was brand new, with a price tag still on, apparently it was from italian store Oviesse).
I intially thought, I have too much crochet things going on with this outfit, so to complete the look, I added a military style vest, that I got at H&M some time ago!
I think this vest really transformed the outfit and took it into another (better!) direction :)
I accessorized everything with my straw, sparkly fedora from Promod, and some long, statement necklace from H&M.
How do you like this look?
Don't forget to check out my OOTD vid, feat. this outfit:
Kisss from Italy, I hope you're all having a nice day!
I'm so stressed out with moving into a new place, everything is pretty chaotic at this point.
I have just found out that the place where I'm moving to, doesn't have an ADSL internet line!!!
So I'll have to consider other providers, I'm just hoping I won't have to go MIA for too long!
Anyway, back on my OOTD (actually I wore this outfit past week, before we started moving- right now I have none time free to film, and my outfits consist of a sweatshirt and an old pair of jeans, messy hair and a little, or none make up!)
But still, the excitment and the joy of finally having a place to call our home is huuuge! ;)
(I just felt the need to say that, no ulterior motive!)
Here is another outfit that I wore for our little hike in the hills, after lunch ;)
I have to admit, I love to go for a hike & be active, but during these fall & winter months AGAIN I haven't been much active & now I find myself totally out of shape!
Not in terms that I gained weight, because I haven't, but in terms that I get tired easily & sometimes I feel like I'm 80 years old! lol
Definitely planning on being more active again, as soon as we solve the appartment situation (remember the house hunting mission?...things were pretty stressful, but keep your fingers crossed! I'll keep you updated on how this situation evolves!)
Anyway!...back to the fashion aspect of this post ;)
As you know, my motto is:
"Be stylish wherever you go & whatever you do!"
...so I tried to wear something stylish/cute even for our little casual hike (of course, it had to be something functional & appropriate for the hike in the hills, in winter!)
Rambo lol ;)
I wore:
Black puffy jacket: Stradivarius
Off white sweater: H&M
Brown turtleneck: H&M
Military style pants: Jennifer
Legwarmers: H&M
Boots: Ugg Australia
Infinity scarf: H&M
Ear muffs: INA Market
Sparkly skull earrings: Gifted from a friend/colleague
Beautiful pics of the landscapes...

Recently, I have discovered the pleasures of shopping at italian open markets!
There is an open market, close to where I live, every Tuesday mornings, so this has become a part of my weekly routine!
Getting up a bit earlier every Tuesday and taking a walk around the market, searching for bargains and unique items really makes my entire week!
In my video "How to Successfully Dress for Less?" I'm showing you all the things that I got at italian open market, during the past month:
Shopping at italian open market means buying good quality clothing items, whilst spending less that you would normally have to spend when buying these items in a regular stores!
Now, let me share some of my purchases with you...
Let's start with the accessories!
My new earrings!
I think these are all soo pretty :)
I especially adore wearing those sparkly silver stars ♥
I was thrilled when I found this ring at italian open market!
I was searching for it ever since Sex & the City 2 came out!!!
You can also shop for used/ vintage items at italian open market...
here is what I got:
"Vintage" style Diesel jacket, paid only 10 €!
Also, you can find the latest trends at such a ridiculous prices!
We all know that vibrant orange is a must this Fall/ Winter season, and military trend is
definitely in, so I couldn't have been happier when I spoted this vibrant orange jacket for only 3 €!!!
How amazing/ incredible is that?
(& here I'm talking about a brand new item!)
This jacket will be great in Spring time as well.
Now it's a perfect layering piece.
More great bargains...
at italian open market there is an outlet with designer clothes & footwear...
I found this beautiful Kookai wool coat (originally priced at 289.00 €) discounted at 20.00 €
a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!
Of course, there was only one available, in a size EU 36.
Luckily, it was my size! ;)
Stylish & warm coat by Kookai brand.
My new booties for Fall/ Winter 2011./12.
Soon, I'll be doing a blog post on my boots haul/collection for the Fall/ Winter season 2011./12.
as, besides these two pairs, I bought quite a few other (irresistable!!!) pairs ;)
Snakeskin print is IN this season!
I really like this one piece snakeskin print blouse/ grey top.
The material is so soft, it feels really good against your skin (one definitely wouldn't expect this quality for such a low price!)
At only 3€, I can definitely say I got myself a great bargain, once again! :)
I hope you enjoyed my haul and this blog post, which purpose was to let you know that you don't have to go bankrupt in order to dress according to the latest trends!
I really don't believe in needing to spend a lot of money to look good, or to dress well & I'm here to prove this to you :)
Hopefully this blog post inspired you to become a bargain hunter yourself &... maybe save up some money?
