Endnotes:
Today’s outfit was likewise inspired by E., who paid homage to ‘grellow‘ in a recent post of hers. I love these yellow Gianni Bini pumps, which have proven to be more than comfortable, and I have worn these with any number of colors but not once with gray. E.’s gray and yellow mix planted a seed and I think I’ve found a new favorite color combo.
To play up the yellow of the shoes, I added a tan bag and a gold and ivory vintage inspired necklace.
It was a good thing that I wore comfortable shoes today, because on an errand to Sibiu, a nearby city and a favorite of mine in Romania, I ended up doing quite a bit of walking. It was also a good thing that I had my camera and was able to snap a few shots, because I’m dying to share them with you. Sibiu was named European Capital of Culture in 2007 and I think the title is well deserved; it’s full of gorgeous old building, historic sites, cafes and restaurants, museums and bookstores. If you ever come to Romania, make sure to add Sibiu to your list! Here’s a sneak peak at what you would encounter:
Really enjoying these glimpses of Romania. And I am a fellow fan of the “grellow” combo. Especially love the accessories here.
Thank you for taking us on vacation with you!
I have always made this site one of my daily stops, but I have to say, adding in the European adventure makes it even more wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these! And you look beautiful!
I am quite sure that your travel photos are going to have me moaning with jealousy for an ENTIRE YEAR, S. Sibiu is gorgeous!
Wow, I love all these photos of Romania! Absolutely stunning!
I also love those yellow shoes!
You and Sibiu (where I haven’t been in ages) look lovely. What beautiful colours! Thank you for sharing, S.
wow! that town looks like something right out of a fairly tale. amazing!
Love how you put all these colors together. love the shoes. Do you have any more info on the shoes. thanx
Your necklace is so cute! Great pictures of your trip, too.
I LOVE Sibiu. I worked near Medias years ago, and fondly remember trips to “the city.” Transylvania is easily one of the most beautiful places on earth.
I also love the grey and yellow combo – I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of yellow shoes, but haven’t found them yet. Yours are fantastic!
I do love those yellow shoes! I feared wearing the color yellow for a long time and have only recently started to incorporate it into my wardrobe.
the colour proportions in this look are just right!
Romania looks amazing as well.
Thanks, everyone!
@trisha mayers – I bought these shoes at Dillards last Dec. (08) and they’re made by Gianni Bini. You could try an ebay search for them, they’re definitely worth it! Good luck! S.
Love those shoes, and it looks just gorgeous there!
Gorgeous – you and the scenery!
