How I Would Dress for Fall

These looks make me wish I could dress up for Fall! Aren't these outfits just gorge? A great mix of menswear inspiration and schoolmarm charm:

I am running a little experiment here and won't be disclosing which label these looks are from. But if you are interested, email me at manilafashionobserver@gmail.com and I'll share! =)

Current Inspiration & Latest Obsession

I am loving, loving, loving these pieces. Relaxed, casual and yet so chic. Well, save for the leather top and spotted pants, I would so wear this everyday. I am inspired.

Delaying Tactics

I've been wanting these Valentino Studded Flats since October.

And it seems no one is stopping me from getting them (I'm talking about you, my dear Tweethearts!)

But sigh, I dunno. I'm kind of in saving mode these days, and I haven't shopped for shoes for months now. It's kind of hard to break a fast when I've been so good, I'm pretty sure I'm setting a record. My personal best perhaps, considering that these shoes are really scrumptious! Well, I know for a fact that if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be. So yeah, that settles it. For now, I shall enjoy you from afar.

And to Kate who asked about sizing, these run true to size! I'm usually a US 6 and I tried on the 36 and it was perfy! Terribly perfy! And very very comfy! Hmmm, maybe I'll visit the Valentino store in ION Orchard tomorrow! Just to say hello to pretty shoes!

H&M x Lanvin Wishlist

Noo ni Noo ni Noo....

Ok, I've decided. Belle, if you are reading this, I am an H&M size 2!

X marks the spot! I WANT THESE (in order of preference):

Belle! If you can get your hands on any one, just one, of these dresses, I'm a happy camper! So, grab one for me puh-leeeeze!

Oh oh oh! I"m feeling these two together! In case the dresses run out fast, I'd love to have these two!

Girls, if you want anything, email the item, color and your size to Belle at florabelle.r@gmail.com so she can buy and reserve the pieces for you too!

Uh-oh, We're in Trouble!

This Valentino shoe came along and it burst our "Ooooohhhh-I-haven't-shopped-in-3 weeks-I'm-so-proud-of myself" bubble. Thanks to Saks.com, we can zoom and pan. Sigh, so close, yet so far away.

To add fuel to fire, here's Alexa wearing her pair:

Ay! Type! Kind of a good thing it's for pre-order at Saks and for sizes 35/35.5/38/38.5/40 only, mind you. Otherwise, I'd be going nuts deciding on whether I should add to cart and check out. Well, that gives me time to scheme and plot and twiddle my crafty little thumbs into figuring out a way to bring these babies home, in case one pops up in a 36. Till then, suckers! (Yeah, that sucker is me, I know.)

You'll Be Mine

My darling Miu Mius in 36, save yourselves for me! I'll see you at Barneys!

Your bright and sparkly bits are beckoning me!
