COLD & RAINY BALMAIN DAY




The sun is finally back today. After last weekends sunny-summer 30°C the weather shared us here in Germany this weekend unbelievable cold and rainy 9°C ... brrrh! 

This Balmain dress was on my wishlist last summer and 
with a little bit of luck I got it in in the summer sales for 50% off. 

The Lanvin necklace (from 2007) is made of metal and wood,wearing
it sounds a little bit like cowbells  ...;)
"jingle, jingle"

Meee... :)


seen on: The Sartorialist
I love the way she wears her dress with the red tights and red scarf!


Balmain "Printemps" Advertising / Eté 2008

♡ what I wore: ♡

Thank you for taking care about my "should I, should I not" post!
I finally decided to let these beauties go ... somehow i feel  they are not
me .. but I still love them ;)


Wishing all of you a joyful & sunny week!!!!

Very very lucky!

  28. Ahhhhh Sorry I've been so late in posting! I'm stuck with school work eeks! Anyhoo, BIG CONGRATS TO YOU! LOVE THE DRESS AND ESP THE SHOES! GREAT BUYS, love!

    I'm so glad you didn't go for the boots because as awesome as they may be, don't try to venture into an area where you hesitate too much... you know whenever you hesitate, this means it's a risk that you'll be taking soooo this is not worth the risk! ;)))

  36. Hi Miss Sunshine
    it doesn't need to be sunny outside, you'll take the sunshine with you wherever you go :-D

    The most amazing BALMAIN dress..... It's such a beautiful and versatile(!) dress!!! I love how you combine it to your beloved Balenciaga jacket and the Dior caged heels.
    Apropos: You have forgotten to tell the most funniest story about them!!!!!! How did you call it? Our shopping "spree"? Do you remember this guy from UK (his English was more British...) on the entrance of Jades store?
    "Oh my gooooood! Where did you get those shoes??? They are adorable! They are the best shoes I've seen in Germany so far - and believe me - I understand a lot of shoes, they're my by business!"
    That was so much fun!
    (Martina, I've started two times to write this down in the comment box before, but wasn't able to fullfill it, see email - but now I'm happy No 40! NEW RECORD!!! CONGRATS!!!!!)
    YAY - and the Lanvin necklace - you have worn it to your amazing long Lanvin feather dress (notice + wish: please make a posting about this Lanvin dress!!!) in Stuttgart to Anna Netrebko, right?

    Wishing you a happy and great weekend
    yours, exhausted s.
    much, much love!!!
