11.11.11

A special date, but also a special day? I would love to hear your 11.11.11 story however special it might be. The comment field is waiting......

I am home alone today and tonight, so after a day in Como (yes, at the magical Como Lake) meeting some very nice people and having a wonderful Lasagna Ragu, I plan to have a glass of fine Italian red wine and watch one of my Chanel movies tonight!

This is what I was wearing for today’s business meeting. Hugo Boss dress, Roberto Del Carlo boots and the blue belt I bought in the USA J

Shoes - American Style

The beautiful Maya Shern had two new pair of shoes in her suitcase on the way back from our trip to Minneapolis last week. She has a wonderful sense of fashion and I believe the shoes will turn a few heads at the next school dance!

The stylish nude colored shoes with a double  plateau are from Charlotte Russe and the classic black ankle boots from Forever 21.

Shopping in the great USA

Last week I was in the great States of America to visit family and friends. The Twin Cities in Minnesota – Minneapolis/St. Paul and the beautiful country side of Wisconsin!

As always, I got excited about the American made items that are better priced than in Europe and with the dollar in our favor, why not go for it.

The best buy was the Olympus camera XZ-1 a fantastic point and shoot!
In Banana Republic I bought a black long sleeve shirt and a classic skirt from the petit line, so it fits perfectly to my 163CM J In a charming shop in “Uptown” Minneapolis I found the t-shirt you see in the middle – nice and loose! Aveda hair products are made in Minnesota and therefore half the price of Europe. The same is the case for Redken and KMS J

In Barnes and Noble I found a wonderful calendar for 2012 with shoes – can’t wait till next year  so that I can replace the French landscape that is the theme for our 2011 calendar, although also beautiful. In this great bookstore, with a Starbucks attached, I also found books about Blogging, Yoga and Fashion.

A few carmex, daily multivitamin, Tony Bennett Duets CD,  American vogue and BIG earrings raps it up :-)
