New stuff

6/23/2012

This school year is now officially over!!

I just came back to Casablanca last night and for now, I'm just gonna chill out with my cousin for a week before I start my summer revisions...

I'm off to shoot outfit pictures so I'll leave you here with a few things I've bought lately.

New gold earrings from Aldo.

Surprisingly enough, I have bought two skirts from Promod (where I don't usually shop).

The white one has a strip on the sides, the other one has a slit in the middle.

A tee with a completely lace-y back that my Mum bought for me (from Parasuco).

New wedges I bought from Aldo (on sale).

I've been looking for a pair of wedges for ages and these are very basic which is great cause I'll be able to pair them with a lot of things...

White OPI nailpolish my sister bought for me (Alpine snow). I like to wear white nailpolish on the whole nail instead of just the tip (for a french mani for example).

I'm really not happy with this video... I first made it and it was perfect but the software I used decided it WON'T save my work and the whole video was lost!
So I had to do it again, very quickly and even if I don't like the result I thought I'd share it anyway because I've spent way too much time trying to fix the previous one (reason why I didn't blog earlier)...

Anyways, last thursday I was finally done with my exams so I got to go to Casablanca for a longer weekend. When I arrived to the train station in Casa, while I was walking to join my sister, I passed by a little shop and the blue bag caught my eye.

The next day, I went back there and discovered so many other bags in so many shapes and colors... I totally fell in love with every single piece and wanted to buy them all!

I eventually decided to be reasonnable and "only" took two with me.
But God! I really think I'm gonna end up buying them all...

I love the embroideries on them and the fact that they're made of leather. They both have adjustable straps but they also look great as clutches.

The little white one is great for those days when all you need to carry around is your phone, your money and your keys.
If I had the bag earlier, I would totally have worn it to the wedding, it would have looked PERFECT!

I'm leaving you with the video now and I'll soon be back with outfit pictures!

Refreshment!

New Kenzo perfume. I have tried to recreate the fruity romantic feel of this frangrance on these pictures...

I'm not a "perfume girl". I don't have thousands of perfumes. I like to buy three to the max and stick to them. They somehow become MY perfumes, people think about me when they find those smells... You get me ?

This is my favourite print of the whole MARNIxH&M collection. I initially wanted the coat but couldn't find it...

New nude heels I'm gonna wear to an upcoming event. Pictures coming... (you WANT to see that!!!)

Suede shoes I bought a couple of months ago...

New Calvin Klein mini clutch my sister gave me as a gift.

Cute little pouch from Fossil. Also a gift from my sister.

Three lip products I currently use: L'oréal lipstick that I use overtop of a lipbalm during winter...

...red lipstick from Yves Rocher and my current favourite lipbalm AKA Le Petit Marseiller.

In love with this necklace I got at Aldo!

FINALLY !!

I did it! I changed the design of the blog! TheSerialShopper now has a new look, fresher, brighter, better! Don't you think so?

After a little while thinking I should switch to a white background, I finally held my courage and took the plunge. I didn't know it would be so hard to take this decision but I guess I was really attached to the old TSS look...

Although, I have to admit, the black background wasn't really complimenting the pictures and I guess it wasn't very comfortable for your eyes, right?

Anyways, I'm very happy with this new look and I really hope you like it too!!
Tiny little changes are still to come but that's pretty much what the blog is gonna look like from now on.

Let me know what you think...

P.S: Expect outfit pictures on the next post...

Just in: necklaces

5/22/2012

Hi lovelies,

I recently bought a few things and among them were these two pretty necklaces. I usually never buy jewelry in clothing stores (too basic, too bad quality, too overpriced for what it is...) but this time was different...

I first stopped at Stradivarius and spotted that yellow necklace and... what can I say... YELLOW says it all! I'm just so obsessed with yellow! It's bright, fresh, gay... I'm in love!

Then I went to Promod. Again, not only do I not usually spend money on their (or any other's) jewelry but I don't even take the time to step inside their stores! They're always SO overpriced in comparison to the quality/design/originality of the products that they offer...

But they were having some sales and for some reason, I totally fell in love with the gold and red necklace! I guess it's because of the color combination... It immediately made me think of India...

Anyways, hope you're having a good week and I'll see you very soon !

It looks great against blue jeans, doesn't it ?

The loveliests

4/28/2012

As I like to call them (left to right): "Moroccan bag", "Croco bag", "Coco bag".

Let me introduce to you all my two new lovely bags !!

You already know my beloved "Moroccan bag" (as seen here, here and also here), which kind of reminds me of an old Chloé one by the way...

Now, I have two new babies to add to my collection of - hum... - let's say, the pretty brown bags?

First one is the one I call the "Coco bag".

Can you see the round shaped bag on the pictures ? Well, believe it or not, it is made out of a coconut hull !!! Yes ! How amazing? And the story behind this bag is even more cool...

I was at my place, in Rabat, it was about 8 pm when I received a phone call from my father telling me that he was in the city with my mother and that they wanted to see me before they hit the road back to Casablanca.

Five minutes later, I opened the door for them and TA-DAA, my father had that awesome bag between his hands for me! He told me he was wandering in the Oudaya (old medina of Rabat) when he spotted the bag and then immediately knew I would love it. And boy I love it!! Not only is the bag unique but the fact that my father bought it for me makes it even more priceless !

Second bag now: the "Croco bag".

Spotted it in a little boutique of Casablanca and it stole my heart! It looks so vintage and somehow reminds me of Hermès...

I highly doubt it's real croco but it is genuine leather for sure.

Love it !!

What do you think about them ?

Oh and thank you for coming to the blog, although you don't say much in the comment section ...
