(ZARA studio crop top, LINDEX trousers, CELINE purse, ZARA clutch, OFFICE shoes)

Since the city decided to give us a heat wave,

 I thought it was right time

 I broke out a crop top that I have been dying to share with you guys. 

I'm sure you all have seen this amazing criss-cross cutout crop top 

- a look straight off the runway from Balenciaga‘s spring 2013 show. 

Kristen Stewart wore it on the red carpet 

and Gwyneth Paltrow wore it in the May 2013 Issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

 Of course I was trying to recreate this fab look at home.

 I found this knock-off top at Zara online.

 This is one of the few times that I have seen my heart’s desire and ordered it immediately. 

I didn’t even think and I have to admit

that I'm getting a little bit addicted to internet shopping at this stage. 

But no regrets..the cropped cutout top is alluring edgy,

 while the slacks are tailored and sophisticated.

  And the combination of the two is equal parts sassy and chic!

What do you guys think?!?!?!
