I’m a sucker for all things ASOS, but in the last few months and weeks I kind of fell out of love with it a little.

Obvioulsly that changed today when I saw a buck load of new bright and colorful arrivals which ignited the spark again. Check out my latest ASOS obsessions below and let me know what you think of my selection. Oooh, and if you decide to shop at ASOS in the coming days, there’s a great promo going right now until 01/22/2012: spend $150 or more and get $30 OFF full price items.

I’m usually not a big fan of monthly shopping clubs, but JewelMint is one of the few clubs who constantly keep me impressed with their offerings! Too bad they don’t accept international customers because otherwise I probably would’ve become a very loyal buyer a long time ago.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Giant Check Wool Silk Gauze Scarf

Roseanne — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:00:59 +0000

Scarves are a great way to accessorize, but not for $325. As much as I adore this Burberry Giant Check Wool Silk Gauze Scarf, it’s way beyond my price range. It seems to be a bit light for winter in my area, but perfect for warmer seasons. No need to worry about the price because the scarf below is practically identical and very affordable.

Melrose Glam “Classic Nova” Scarf

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 15% OFF your order!

To be honest, I actually like this scarf more than the one by Burberry. I think that the darker pigmentation of the Melrose Glam “Classic Nova” Scarf looks more expensive, but the best part is that it’s only $10. This would make a lovely accessory for really any outfit, and also a great gift for someone who loves the classic Burberry style.

Obsession(s) of the Day – Topshop Cable Beanie(s)

Irina — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:00:38 +0000

So today I stumbled upon these cute 4 cable-knit beanie hats at Topshop and I can’t make up my mind which color is my favorite! I do love how the orange and the green one stand out, but the navy and grey versions are much more wearable and combinable. I do have a very similar beanie in grey, so this one’s pretty much ruled out, but the other 3? Tough choice, people. However, I secretly find myself gazing at the pumpkin version the most. Shall I go for that one?

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf

Roseanne — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:30:44 +0000

With this colder climate it’s safe to say that scarves are becoming an essential part of my wardrobe. Scarves can really add definition to any ensemble and are a staple piece on one of those “nothing to wear” days. This Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf maintains a signature style with super soft cashmere, check print, and delicate fringe. It is the ultimate exemplar of how to liven an achromatic outfit, or just a brilliant way to stay warm this season.

My Shopbop Wish List for December 2011

Irina — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:00:59 +0000

Oh my, it really is December, isn’t it? The end of the year is approaching fast. Time to kiss 2011 goodbye with a last kickass Shopbop monthly wish list. While I do love christmas I generally prefer warm weather seasons much more than the winter so the first 3 items reflect how much I’m longing for spring to arrive already! I’m also a sucker for anything tortoise, so, of course, I couldn’t pass on the classic Nixon watch. The black/gold mini dress would make the perfect New Year’s Eve dress, don’t you agree? It also reminds me of Gucci’s S/S 2012 collection theme. And how cute is the pink Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet? My current one is falling apart and I’m looking for a stylish quality replacement to last me for the next few years. And finally, the last row represents what I’d love to wear for christmas – an obligatory red dress with a cute gold bow necklace and emerald drop earrings to go with. Super pretty, right?

My Shopbop Wish List for November 2011

Irina — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:00:51 +0000

It’s November which means I finally get to create a new monthly Shopbop wish list. Yay! Didn’t go too crazy on dresses this time and rather opted for timeless accessories as well as classic basics. I really, really want a white silk shirt like the one in the middle. Do you like my picks for this month?
