New York Shopping ~ Part 2

More of my Shopping Haul!

Normally when in New York, I always shop around Williamsburg Brooklyn (vintage), the East Village (more vintage and consignment), Nolita and Soho and not so much in the whole 5th avenue area but this time I actually spend time nosing around the avenues of the riches!

I went to Henri Bendel where I bought the freeze 24/7 products (yes! skincare!) I had used these products before (when still living in new York) and although it promises to reduce your wrinkles, it does something else! It actually really reduces blemishes, really! On me that is! and the cleanser which is also a facial mask is just heavenly! Plus these products are really good for overly sensitive skin!  

I have to say that I was kind of annoyed by the sales-people at Bendel! They were so pushy that it actually became kind of rude and It was almost hard to get out of the store (they seemed to really want to make sure you would empty out your bank account right then and there)

The Columbus Circle Sephora is nice and less crowded then the Soho store which might be a nice change! I bought Bobbi Brown concealer and Bare Essentials foundation.

The shoes are from Zara! (5th ave, 52nd street) I really liked this Zara (yes, all Zara's in New York seem to be very different) I bought the cream/powder floaty pants there as well!

Ahhh and the rest of the soft tones and creamy whites on the rack! I guess I have to show them properly in outfit posts!

New York Shopping ~ Part 1

 

1st part of my New York Shopping haul! I was so lucky that I was not only flown into New York City by Manhattan Cosmetics and Joy Magazine to host 2 lucky contest winners on a personal shopping spree but I got a shopping budget myself as well ^_^ Oh boy Oh boy!

I already felt so spoiled by staying in a lush Hotel so the Shopping Spree was as icing on the cake!

As you can imagine I went like quite the tornado through Manhattan to visit all my favorite stores in 2 days!

On my way to Chinatown for the Bunny Iphone case I passed the Aldo store where I saw these lace espadrilles in the Window! Not quite the Valentino ones but close enough for $45! Another close fit would be the see-through lace espadrilles from Jeffrey Campbell (at shopbop and freepeople) but those are more of a natural-yellow collor and not as white!

And then back up on Broadway making stops at TopShop and a few other stores before going to Urban Outfitters where I found the Daisy Sunglasses and the ~OMG~ Shark duffle bag! Maybe "Jaws" needs some sequin pimpin' but even without the pimpin' it's one of my favorite new pets!

Lust List

3.1 Phillip Lim Cody half d'orsay Sandals and Pashli Messenger bag, COMME des GARÇONS bralette, Asos round color block Glasses

Lusting over these big time!

I first saw the Cody d'orsay Sandals on Song of Style's blog here and she is wearing them in an outfit here, which made me lust after these babes even more! Loving them in the color white too (I know many are looking for the perfect white sandals for this summer)

The Phillip Lim bag came on my radar after seeing Sandra from 5inchandup and Alice Point rocking their Lim bags here and here!

My obsession with the modern take on whites with the bralette, bag + round glasses is inspired by Ezter from stylorectic in this outfit seen here! (with a affordable version of the bralette!)

New York Shopping: Make-Up and Skin Care

My New York make-up and skin care shopping!
So far I'm really happy with the Caudalie skin care set, the eye and lip creme is the first creme that my skin doesn't over-react on! Jayyy! (I have a very sensitive skin) and I just love the porefessionally set I use as a primer! A little trick I learned is to dab a little eyecreme on top of your foundation around the eye-area when creases appear (works like a miracle!)

1 Caudalie skin care set 

2 Stila illuminating foundation, powder and eyeshadow palette

3 Benefit the POREfessionally pretty set

4 Per-fekt body perfection gel

5 Bobbi Brown corrector

6 Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil

Shopping: velvet blue tapestry boots

Jeffrey Campbell Yuma Fab from LFstores (or at Solestruck online)

Of course there was plenty of shopping while being in New York! I bought a lot of Make-Up and Skin Care products and yes, clothing and shoes too! The suitcase totally restricted me in shopping as I just didn't see any possibility (packing wise) in bringing back Anthropologie's tableware (ceramics) and heavy books. 

Luckily there was some space left for shoes to squeeze in and I found these on sale (50% off) at the LFstores in Soho. Now its just waiting for the weather to allow me to wear these bare legged with dresses!

SHOPPING: Scotch and Soda

Remember that I mentioned Scotch&Soda a little while ago? (in this post here)

So I made my way back to the shop for some sale shopping and above all to come home with one of their delicious checked shirts! What happened is that I came back home with trousers haha, and of course now I regret not coming home with shirts + trousers.. (ohhh the pains of a shopaholic)

ps. Lately I'm into slight masculine home-decor details as well like using empty coffee cans as vases..

SHOPPING: {Water for Elephants}

clothing: Scotch&Soda, Bow Ties: Zara (Mens accessories), Brogues: TopShop

 

One of my new outfit (and shopping) inspiration is the movie Water for Elephants.

I kind of separated the story/movie in 2 sides; a masculine side (this post) and there is of course a feminine side with pastels, embellished tights, silks, satins, tiara's etc. (and think the cream colored Chloé triple strap shoes of a few seasons ago)

So yes, I have been on the look-out for menswear inspired clothes! The other day I ran into Scotch&Soda and I have to say this store is a perfect match! The checked and plaid shirts often come with little bow ties and the worker inspired shirt is just perfect. The quality of the clothes is amazing as well!

Luckily everything is on sale now, hehe :)

ps. I'm still eying these Zara bow ties!

Chirstmas Shopping diary

Made a little Christmas Shopping diary! (and yes, I'm wearing my new Rain Boots!)


I really love gift shopping, especially when in between you will get offered Hot Chocolate Milk, Cookies and cakes!

In what we call the little "alley neighbourhood" in Arnhem you can find some vintage and designer boutiques! So I stopped by "Bos and Heij" designers "Sjaak Hullekes" and "Coming Soon". The last store has these crazy beautiful shoes (as seen on the last few pics) I must find out who the designer is!

I'm wearing: H&M hat and jacket, Sandro top, Sass&Bide jeans and my new Rain Boots.

I still have some last gift shopping and gift wrapping to do and still need to get the Christmas groceries!!
