Tango in Paris










Houstina over at Cowgirl Heaven send over the loveliest ruffled vest. A nice way to shift, with ease, from summer into fall. It's as soft as it is stylish. Ever since I saw Shall We Dance (first the Japanese version, and then the US one) I fell in love with both the story; romantic and comical, and the music. Right now you're listening to the song Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere dance to in the American version. This post is also the debut of my Carrie Bradshaw heels. Can you believe that I bought these many moons ago and haven't, until recently, remembered to wear them? No, they aren't Dior, but yes, they are just as lovely to wear and look at. Oh and I was very excited today when I found out that I am on StyleSite here is the screen cap.


You're listening to: Gotan Project - Santa Maria


Cowgirl Heaven ruffled vest. Barneys New York Co Op striped top. American Apparel black body con skirt. Hypnotic heels. Aldo bag. Jee Vice sunglasses.

It's funny, the song you posted today has been used on a Nip/Tuck commercial that aired here, always liked it, but never knew the name! Thanks.

Caterina said...

At first go the image of you walking towards me, or the camera, blew me away. Then the the pretty music popped on with you leaning against the European bridge? wall. I love the shoes too. CARRIE would be proud of them on you and of this outfit in whole.

You are as cute as a bunny and as sultry as a European jetsetter!

Craving: a Tango and a Martini- that's what this post does to me. :D

Jane said...

I really have been wanting to see that film (I was always a girl after Richard Gere's heart ever since seeing Pretty Woman) I was so jealous at Julia Roberts for "stealing" him form me. The music and your seeing it twice makes me think I need to do the same.

Cute skirt and "tango" legs to match!

Call Me Cat said...

Erika! My favorite is the one of you walking away you have the MK space. You know the space between the legs, modely long legs indeed GORGEOUS, you babeee!

By the way and ideas for a new song for my blog? Modest mouse has been on replay but can't seem to find anything new. I know you can help?

KateMossFan said...

Houstina is a fitting name for the shop "Cowgirl Heaven". I don't know why, it's probably a typical cliché, but I always associate cowboys/cowgirls with Texas, and Houston is in Texas no? Anywho, she picked the vest out well for you, because it fits your style well.
Here, fortunately, summer is still in full action!
I didn't know there was a Japanese version of Shall We Dance! How funny! I think Richard Gere is hot in that film... as is J.Lo!
It happens to me too, that I buy clothes or shoes and then don't wear them for a long time... My outfits are a planned economy ;)

Jillian said...

that vest is fantastic and I LOVE GOTAN PROJECT!!!
ugh <3 hope u have an amazing weekend love!

Oooh bellisima,
how wonderfully chic these pics are. I'm always enamoured by pieces like this. That stand out from the norm. And that catch my eye. What a perfect vest!
And those shoes, I have an imitation pair as well but have not worn them in a long while....definitely time to sell a few of the extra pairs of shoes I do not need!

Hope you've had a great weekend and here's to a better week!
p.s. yes, I bought a pair of the leopard print shoes.....cannot wait to receive them (that also explains why I need to sell some of the pairs I already own!)
