These beautiful pieces are my current lovelies.
My good old friend was so kind to obtain the turquoise earstuds for me since the jewelry shop is in Bern where she lives. Thanks again! : )
And the bold necklace is from h&m. I've already seen it on many blogs but always in silver.
I love the touch of dark gold!

This is the story of a girl



Jacket: Yves Saint Laurent Dress: All Saints Bag: La Garconne
Bra: La Perla Mary-Jane platforms: Christian Louboutin Ring: Kenneth Jay Lane

If those items were mine, I would have worn them yesterday to a Greek party I attended, which was so much FUN. We danced all night long to Greek music that sounds so much like Turkish music, so I was totally in my element...

There's a short interview I did on Weardrobe, if you're interested you can read it here. (Thanks Suzanne!)
