Had some fun meeting the Nova guy - a mascot for a local radio station. I couldn't resist getting my picture taken. Thank you again to K for being the photographer!
And here's what I wore today minus the crazy Nova Guy pose!:
Dress: Linen dress from asos. So wrinkly after a long day at work but so perfect for hot days
Belt: Op-shop
Necklace: gift from a friend
Bracelets: the usual plus one gifted, 2 made by a talented friend
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot 2011 RH Velo from Reebonz
And a closeup of the accessories:
I love my Balenciaga velo bag, although the strap is too long for me to wear crossbody comfortably - you can see how long it is in the pic with Nova guy - so I sometimes double up the strap. I've tried to explain this on www.effenhaute.com and taken photos but sometimes you just need a video!
So if you're interested and own a balenciaga velo, town or pom pon and want to know how to double the strap, this is a short video showing how I do it:
Means you don't have to permanently alter the bag and you can always switch back to the original strap length whenever it is needed.
Hope everyone else had a good Monday - especially those that are having to survive this heat without air conditioning!
I really like the red belt against a black dress - classic and beautiful! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDelete@Jessica thanks! Hope you have a great week too :)
ReplyDeleteThose flats are so cute! I don't recall seeing them before (might have, but I have a bad memory lol).
ReplyDeleteHeat without AC???? YIKES...you could move to Chicago as it is only 40 right now! I love your red balanciaga bag as well as the accessories :)
ReplyDeleteYour look is so classy. Black and red is one of my favorite combinations. I have not needed to have a strap shortened but thank you for sharing the video.

@Letica - thanks, aren't they adorable! they haven't been on the blog before :)
ReplyDelete@Bravoe - yes I can't imagine facing this heat without A/C! Chicago might be a little too cold for me though, haha.
@Tedora - thanks - never worn a red belt with this before but I loved how it turned out.
How funny! I bumped into the Nova man as well when I was at the Brisbane International. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment - love the combination of black and red in your outfit. I need to try out that palette as well!
Following you now! Hope you have a wonderful day!
