Tessie said...

What a fun way to share your new bags and style with us. I admire your poise in all of them. You look like a model sharing the wares of a new Designer's pieces from his latest collection for a Lookbook! -T.

Marcie said...

HAHA yeah when I think roller blades, I think of my Mighty Ducks phase ("Charlie") crush. ;)

Daphne said...

Inventive way to model many pieces at once. It looks clean and great. Very creative.

Your hair is so glorious in length and health. Amazing bags, Caroline and Vittoria are my favoriets.

Thanks for the reminder of Raincoats and the tip that they can be both functional and hip. ;)

Jennifer Fabulous said...

I don't know how you manage to look absolutely GORGEOUS in every single photo. I swear it takes me like 50 times to have one that's decent of me! Lol.

I love the third and fourth outfits the best. The third outfit is so glamorous and classy and kind of reminds me of how women used to dress in old Hollywood films. The scarf was the perfect touch. And that purse?! I die. The fourth outfit is just plain adorable. Those fun yellow tights kind of give off a 70s vibe, which I love. Oh, and the first outfit kind of reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. I'm not sure why though...perhaps its those leggings that remind me of Funny Face...hmm...

I have a feeling if I ever got the chance to see your closet I would just faint. It would be too much fabulousness thrown at me. I couldn't handle it. Hahaha!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! xoxo

Charmaine Li said...

love all of these looks! esp love the over-the-knee socks + clog combo! the best :)

maria said...

love your clogs!!!

Dee said...

Love it when you wear your hair long ^_*^

Jojo said...

I love your shoes in the last picture, they look amazing.

Love Jojo xx

Susanne said...

Hey Erika,
I agree with Jennifer: the first picture has this Audrey-Hepburn-touch. Maybe it's because of the leggings and the flats without socks (Audrey never wore high heels because she felt too tall and to thin, did you know that? There was this exhibition in Berlin last year where they exposed a collection of her everyday ballerinas - in size 8!), and the last one is so 70s! Love the yellow tights and the dress - and your hair that completes this kind of ironic well-behaved look ... the third one is beautiful, too - very feminine & elegant. great job.
xx Susanne
