The other day when I was at the hair salon flicking through Vogue, I came across what they claimed to be the new “it” shoe this season- these Etro sandals below.
The term “it” shoes is apt. Cousin IT shoes that is. First Prada had these fringe things all over the place SS07 , and now these shoes. Gladiator sandals with fringe piled on, I really don’t see the attraction. They kind of look like sandals pretending to be boots or the other way around. Just not quite right.
No matter how they matched it on the Etro runway, there MUST be other better footwear out there to match these cute printed outfits. More simpler sandals perhaps? Heels? Barefoot??? 
Just when I thought perhaps it was just a one off random thing, I see the exact likeness on the Zara display window. For a moment I worried that this will become a prominent feature in daily fashion (it IS Zara after all). However, HG has convinced me that this is just one of those fashion items that are picked to featured to look cool (I don’t know where they get these ideas from) but not really meant for mass consumption- or so I hope. Fingers crossed!
I mean, would YOU wear this????

Reviewer: Cinnamon Kitten
I’ve always used Biore strips (and did notice when they decreased the stickiness from the original strips after all the hub-bub about the damage these things did). So when I was sent a few samples of the Limited Edition Mandarin-Blossom nose strips, I was keen to try them out.
To Purr About:
- lovely citrus scent that was obvious as soon as I opened the package, but it wasn’t overpowering
- the scent was really nice to breathe in while I was using the nose strip - it was pretty faint, but just enough to make things pleasant
- the nose strips work just as well as the regular products, which I’m usually happy with
Claws Out:
- as with other Limited Edition products, I dislike getting hooked on any product that won’t be available for sale after a small amount of time
- these strips (as with the regular ones) shouldn’t be used too often - I use mine once a week, at most
Final Comments:
I love my Biore nose strips and have never really had a complaint about them. They work great for me and really help clean out my pores (I have slightly enlarged pores). I really like the citrus-scent - it’s not necessary, but makes the whole process nice and pleasant. This product would have gotten a perfect score if it wasn’t only available in Limited Edition!
Rating (out of 5):

Saturday night we went to see Bucket List, a movie i liked very much. I’ve bought those blue opaque tights a very long time, from a H&M in Wien, but did not get around to wear them till now. But they seemed now like the perfect combination for the Zara black leather dress, this way the dress has no sexy/aggressive ingredient what’s so ever, but a funny/funky appeal.

Why is it so cold in New York right now? Seriously it’s not right, it’s almost April and 34 degrees with serious wind is not working for me.
The Hermes window display masks were made by the artist Cynthia Rojas .
