I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I'm currently very busy with finding a new place to live! After the summer I'll return to University, and I'll move to a different city for that. I'm looking forward, but I'm also quite anxious about it! I hope it will all go well.
What I really wanted to write about, though, are: shoes!
It seems to me that studded boots are totally hot right now. I see them in basically every store, and I love them!

Usually I'm only into really girly stuff, such as high heels or shoes with bows. I never quite liked this style of boots. But it's because of the studs that I do like them. They give them this rock vibe, which I love. And let's face it: I always like silver hardware on shoes!
The pair I'd really love to have, are these:
They're a combination of everything I love: black, studs, crosses, and rock. Someone please buy me these babies? My budget unfortunately doesn't allow me to buy them.
I did, however, win an auction for a Versace for H&M skirt. It ended with a low price, so I was happy. I'm not into all the crazy prints from the collection, but I did like some things of the Pelle Borchie collection a lot. Back in November when it was released I couldn't afford any of it, so I'm occasionally snooping around on Ebay to see if there's anything nice.
However, it seems I'm never truly lucky, because one day after I paid the seller got a negative review from a different buyer. While their feedback was 100% positive before that. So I'm a little anxious now, I hope I'll get the skirt after all. If not, I'll be sure to file a Paypal claim in time!

It's a silk skirt, and usually I'm not sure about silk because I don't like the way it's made. They gather cocoons from worms (which usually are bred and held in captivity), and it is said they're thrown into boiling water while the worms are still in there. Which is such an awful way of gathering the material.
But I suppose it doesn't hurt much to buy silk items second-hand, when no one is making profit from it.
I try to be more and more conscious about animal suffering. For example, I'm also not a person who buys a lot of leather shoes or bags, or who buys all kinds of feather fashion accessories. I do own a few, but I don't nearly buy all the stuff I'd like to have. Simply because I'd feel bad about it.
Cheap things are usually made the cruel way.
