Heet Makes Me Shop (at ASOS)

I have no idea when this happened, but it has come to my attention that ASOS is actually shipping to Romania, at oh so low costs (really). This being said, I have long drooled over many ASOS items and occasionally purchased some off Ebay, but getting them from the source is well... exquisite. On top of that, they are having the SALE of the century, so I couldn't miss on a few items. Frankly, I didn't buy much, only some stuff I can't really get around here. Here are my picks:

Intr-un final ASOS si-a marit zona de livrari, incluzand Romania. Am avut ocazia sa achizitionez produse ASOS doar prin intermediul Ebay-ului, asa ca nu puteam rata acest moment (mai ales ca reducerile lor ajung la 80%). M-am limitat doar la produsele de mai jos, care pentru mine sunt esentiale. Daca aveti ocazia, nu uitati de cumparaturile de pe ASOS!

Believe it or not, we can't find ok looking crop tops anywhere around here and I just couldn't resist these two. The bra... well, it was cheap and it looks interesting enough to hide under a boyfriend blazer. I will let you know on the quality as soon as they arrive.

It's All Yarn



















































































Seeing how just recently my deconstructed clothing interest reached a peak, I can't say but wow to these. And yes, they are basically knitted, not deconstructed, but blame it on Alexander Wang and let it at that. Pictures are taken from the I Don't Like Mondays website and they're part of a Broken Girlfriends Club collection. Can you say yum? And no, they don't ship to Romania, because, as we all know, we're such a third world country and all that. No fashion for the poor!

Fetish Shoes


Frankly, I never thought I'd start a blog involving shoes and other fashionable things. But seeing I've been developing quite a shoe obsession, I say we kick start this blog.
I'll introduce my biggest shoe obsessions to this point. Most of these shoes I can't get, for the following reasons:
1. I live in a country where shoes, pretty shoes, awesome shoes, deviant shoes, if I may say so, are hard to find. There's no Nordstrom here. Hey, there's no H&M here for that matter.
2. Most of the shoes I want are out of my price range. Way out. That doesn't mean I can't drool over some Ann Demeulemeester lace ups pictures until finally deciding to have a similar pair done at a local shoe maker (not that easy as it sounds, let me assure you).
3. Most of the shoes I want got sold out seasons ago and can be rarely spotted on Ebay, at outrages prices - see point no 2.
That being said, let's get on with the shoes















































First, the crepe Emma Cook boots from the A/W 08-09 collection for TOPSHOP. I will never forgive myself I was in London at the time the collection hit the stores and did not get them. The fact I didn't know they existed is not an excuse. They retailed for about 150 pounds, that's 300$, and at the time I could have spared that kind of money. Stupid me. Now rarely available on Ebay for more than 600$.





































Second, the Balenciaga ankle boot. These were made very populat by Mary Kate Olsen. 1500+ $ price tag means no way in hell. Naturally, there are stories of people finding them (and the elusive tall boot from the same collection) in Hawaii for 90% off. Yeah... not living in Hawaii. Sure, there's always the Sam Edelman version, which is not actually a knock off, as some people might believe, as Balenciaga sold the rights to the shoes, and Edelman made the boots for Victoria's Secret only. The VS version sold for 170$ (sale for 100$!). Naturally, gone in seconds, now available on Ebay for more than 600$. Not gonna happen.
