Checkered in Milan

During my time in Milan, I forced had my friend Sandy be my photographer and capture my outfit of that day. I had a pretty interesting time posing for these, only because I chose this street as it was empty but at all of a sudden it became filled with people and well, I had to just go with it, but I think it played out well. Not only did it capture the essence of Italian life, it captured a Robert De Niro look-a-like to my left, that could have easily fooled me, because he was looking pretty darn cool, especially with his fabulous lady next to him.  What do you think? does the man look like De Niro or what? I mean, he even has that half smirk that De Niro is infamous for.

On a side note, this was one of my comfiest and funnest outfits I wore during my trip in Italy, those combat boots were my obsession.

Through the Trenches

These past couple of days, Frankfurt has seen a spring-like weather and it's felt so good to feel the sun and a bit of warmth. Naturally, I had to bring out my new trench coat I purchased on a whim while I was in Milan two weeks ago. Boy am I happy I made this purchase, I can already tell that this will be one of those pieces I wear very much. The neutral color makes for the perfect pairing with just about any color and outfit combination. Anyway, I am looking forward to spring as it is my favorite season of all, not only because the weather is glorious, the flowers are in full bloom but also my birthday is celebrated in this season.

Over The Knee

Fall has easily become one of my favorite seasons, only because I get to experiment with layers. I have said it before layering is not easy, especially when you want it to look effortlessly cool but it is fun. Although in this look I am not wearing many layers, I really love this look only because it is sexy in a subtle way and you can take it from day to night in an instant by just tweaking a few things, heck you can even go without making any changes and it would still look good for a night out. I wore this same outfit to go to my friend's dinner party but I added black tights to give it a more sophisticated look. Plus wearing over the knee boots has always been one of my favorite looks for fall, I have been obsessed with over the knee boots since I was a tiny girl, and my love has never dwindled, I find them to be one of the sexiest forms of shoes/boots a woman can have in her closet. I also love this crop top for its soft textile, which makes for a comfy fit and who doesn't love comfy wear?

What is your favorite fall shoe style?
