Viennese Stairs

Paisley Shirt - Mango, Leggings & Leather Boots - Zara, Headband - Vicky's, Camera Bag - c/o THEIT

Yes, I admit it! I'm absolutely obsessed with my THEIT bag! I adore it because it´s roomy and fits everything without screaming camera bag from far away. They are pretty hard to come by as they are constantly sold out, BUT a little birdie told me that they just got new stocks so get it while it´s hot! You can use the promo code LOVEGYPSY15 at checkout to get 15% off your new bag! ;) Sweet!

NEW IN

Here are a few new items bringing a little spice into my pre-fall warderobe these days:

My new must have shoes for fall, the Heda Wedges! I love the hidden wedge and that it's super comfy and can be worn with anything. You still have a few hours to enter my giveaway to win a pair of your own! ;)

My jewelry box was missing golden cocktail rings and I was more than happy to get some new goodies. The fox ring is from Romwe, the rest is from Pennies/Primark from Dublin.

What a cute beauty bag! It's full of mineral goodies from Allechant Designs. I promise I'll give you a detailed review soon! ;)

I wanted a military green bag for some time now and this Romwe beauty fits the bill perfectly! It's actually pretty big, so there is more than enough place for my daily knicknacs. LOVE!

Have you bought any fall items already?

New In

Lately I've been really (really!) unmotivated to go to the gym, so I needed a little push which arrived in the form of this Breeze Comfort sports bra!  I have several similar tops from different brands, in different shapes, but this padded sports bra is definitely my new favorite! Thanks to its Ventipad technology it's more comfortable than anything I've ever worn in the gym before! I almost don't feel that I have it on, althought it still keeps everything firmly in place! ;) Can't wait to wear it for morning runs on the beach!

New Wet Paint nail glazes for fall. What I like most about them is that you can layer the different shades to achieve different colors and effects. Can't wait to play around with them! (I'm currently sporting the red "Fetish" both on my hands and toes! LOVE!!!) Don't these colors remind you of Twilight? ;)

This Theit beauty is finally mine! Cannot tell you how good it feels to bring my new Bossi bag to photoshoots instead of my ugly man-camera-bag! It fits my camera with a 50mm lens, my flash, an extra lens and my daily things like my wallett, phone, keys...etc in customizable padded compartments.

I confessed my love for Totally Rad products before, but their latest and greatest, RadLab just blows my mind! If you are a Photoshop user and you are looking for a quick way to enhance your pictures, use some awesome effects and actually see what you do before you do it, than Radlab is for YOU! It's supereasy to use, saves me a lot of time and my photos look better than ever! I'm looking forward to share some before and afters on En Route soon!

...these are a few of my favorite things...

It's been a while since my last favorites post due to all the traveling, but I do have a few things I've been obsessed with this week that I definitely wanted to show you! 

1. The EnRoute logo! I've been playing in Photoshop and I came up with this logo which, to be honest I really like, but I'd love to have your honest feedback as well! I think it's simple, fashion forward yet timeless and clearly travel related with the passport stamp, which I'm planning to incorporate in all my branding materials moving forward. What do you think? I'd also love for you to like my new EN ROUTE fanpage on Facebook where I'll be sharing my new shoots, sneak peeks and inspirations from now on! Like? :D

2. I'm obsessed with this Asian iCandy embroidered messenger bag. I think it will find it's way to my closet pretty soon! ;)

3. I've been looking for the perfect, affordable black leather biker jacket for a long time and I think I've found it! Cannot wait to try it on in Zara this week!

4. I saved my pennies and purschased the Jasmine Star Wedding Photography Workshop from Creative Live (which is pretty much how I spent my last 5 days) and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting to try to establish a wedding photography business! Best $150 I've ever spent!

5. Somehow my blogroll has transformed from all fashion blogs to mostly photography and wedding blogs in the last few weeks and one of my new favorite daily reads is Kat's Rock n' Roll Bride. A truly unique wedding inspirational website that I know you'll love too! ;)

I hope your Sunday is much sunnier than mine, don't forget to enter the Blowfish shoes giveaway if you haven't already! You still have a few hours left! ;) Happy Sunday!

The Good Old Blogger Cliche...

It was about time I jumped on this bandwagon! Who wanna peek inside my bag? :) I'm one of those crazy people who always carries a bag big enough to fit a weekend getaway worth of stuff in there. Currently my favorite giganto bag is my Foley + Corinna Jet Set Jr,   which even though has taken a beating or two is just getting prettier with time! But let's see what's inside! :) 

I'm running around a lot lately and I always carry my 13' MacBook Pro with me. I have a Creative Suite class twice a week and hence when I'm not taking it to class, I'm taking it to do my homework! :) I also always have my pink mouse (a present from AC :), several harddrives and memory sticks (my favorite is the one pictured from Swarovski and the one that is on my keychain) and my Samsung Omnia (which I definitely don't like or recommend! it's time to join the iPhone world! :) 

Moving on to the creative stuff, I always have my notebook, my calendar and several color markers with me next to my favorite Swarowski pen (gift from AC's parents :).  I also found a cute postcard from Little Gray Fox in my bag today. Very dear! :D

I am a bit of a germofobe so I always have hand sanitizer with me. From my beauty "department" I usually carry my spring scent Chanel Chance Eur de Tendre and my Clinique pink lipgloss. 

I have a Burberry wallet and now that the sun is out I always bring my RayBan aviators with me. I also like to have some snacks or flavored gums in my bag, oh and let's not forget my camera, the Nikon D300 which is (super heavy!) and almost always accompanies me! 

Yep... like I said... crazy person, but at least I'm developing nice right shoulder muscles. On the days I go to the gym (3-4 times a week) I also have an equally enormous gym bag with me so than at least the weight is equalized on both shoulders, even though I look like I'm moving flats running around like that! :)

I've been planning to invest in an equally big & pretty black leather bag which could fit my laptop, camera and all the rest... any recommendations?

...these are a few of my favorite things...

1. Michael Kors Dillion Leather and Raffia Sandals - $300
2. House of Harlow 1960 Coin Rings - $98
3. Veggie Patch Clutch - $34
4. Retro Sewing Thread Yellow Bag - $79
5. Tory Burch Swan Print Wedge Sandals - $250
6. Owl Be Near Necklace - $14
7. Elizabeth and James Fairfax Sunglasses - $185
8. Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Berkley Tote Bag - $295
9. Matching Twefth St. Sage Ballett Flats - $195

Wish you all a wonderfully sunny Sunday at all corners of the world!

P.S: Last day to enter my Little Gray Fox giveaway! ;)

P.P.S: Happy Mother's day to all the German and US mommies (have you seen my gorgeous momma? :)

What I wish I was wearing in Barcelona

I have been a very good girl lately and basically haven't bought anything since the January sales. Not that my unemployed budget can afford much, but after a somewhat longer shopping diet my apetite is slowly creeping back. :) One of the things I love about Spain is how people love to dress up and how they make an effort to look good each and every day. These are just a few of the pieces I wish I had in my carry on to Barcelona.

1. RayBan Wayfarers - My golden aviators are one of my favorite accessories and even though I have wayfarer like cheapo sunglasses (seen here) I wish I had the real thing too! :)

2. Rick Owens Leather Jacket - These are an absolute dream and if I had unlimited funds it would be one of the first things to invest in. In the meantime my search for affordable alternatives continues. Any suggestions?

3. Michael Kors Black Ceramic Watch - I love my golden Michael Kors Jet Set watch to pieces but sometimes I do wish I had a lower key model as the gold can easily overpower the rest of my outfit. I think this black ceramic version would be a perfect alternative.

4. Hunter Original Tall Wellington Boots - On the second day of our stay it was raining the WHOLE ENTIRE day without a break, so I really did wish I had these classic rainboots with me.

5. Mulberry Alexa bag - My Mulberry obsession is out of control. I wish I could have every single colors from both the Alexa and Bayswater models :)

6. YSL Arty Wood Ring - I've been obsessing over these rings for some time now, but the new wood and black models make it even harder to resist.

7. Le Mode Accessories Dramatic Links Bracelet - I love the combination of gold and black leather. This bracelet would surely pump up the volume on any outfits and would have completed my Barcelona look perfectly. 

What are you drooling over these days? I'd love to hear! :)

Your Love is My Drug

JetSet Tote - Foley + Corinna, Aviators - RayBan, Shirt - H&M, Blazer - Zara, Leather Shorts - Alice + Olivia, Shoes - ASOS

I hope by now you all had a chance to enter my gorgeous, amazing, breathtaking, fantastic Foley + Corinna  giveaway but if no, you can still do it (but you better hurry)! ;) 

Next to my Jet Set  tote this outfit features pretty much all my current favorite items from my closet. The RayBan aviators were one of the best accessory buys from last year, while my Alice + Olivia leather shorts occupy such a precious space in my heart that I have never even worn them before (you know those pieces that you love so much that you rather not wear them but keep for special occasions? this is one of those... :) 

My ASOS stilettos serve double purpose, they are so pretty that I actually use them to decorate our living room! :D True story!

I better go and pack our bags for tomorrow. We are going for a romantic weekend getaway with AC! :D I'm so excited... we are flying to one of my favorite cities on Earth.... wanna guess where we're going?!

Sweet Dreams

There are two types of girls. Shoe addicts and bagaholics. I'm without a shadow of a doubt belong to the second group. Hi, my name is Gabby and I am a bagaholic. As I will very soon become an unemployed, starving artist :) none of these beauties are in the cards for me but for some reason I cannot stop looking at them and putting outfits around them in my head. On a positive note I did purchase a very affordable suede alternative on the Zara sales (seen here) but still, if I had a million dollars I'd buy all these babies in a heartbeat!  

What purses are you smitten with this season babes?
