It’s like Garance read my mind when she wrote about her commandments of style, especially the one saying ‘buy something last season’. The night before I had just ordered these boots. You might know them, since they’ve been around for a while and are actually from 2 seasons ago. I liked them from the moment I saw them, tried them on twice but never got them. I think it was because everybody (especially boyfriend) hated them when I showed them, so I thought ‘Oh, there will be another pair of boots’. When I spotted them in a certain outlet however (not a bad idea to check that every once in a while), I thought to myself ‘Whyyyy did I never get these boots? I still love them!’ and so I clicked them home – for an outlet price, yay! There will be not a single hair on my hairy head that will regret this buy, that’s the thing about getting something last season. You might like them, you might not (sorry boyfriend) but I think they’re great and they walk like heaven.

This doesn’t happen every week though. I do love the changing of seasons and collections and am totally embracing the new grunge trend that’s going on right now and will become even better this fall – since fall is just a better season for grunge. So also in my shopping bag was this checked long waistcoat. Absolutely perfect to throw over a black ensemble or in this case, boyfriend shorts and a sheer white tee – to bring some grunge into my outfits.

On a different note: SUPER SORRY that my blog was offline for almost a day. I have no idea what happened but the bright people who know their technical stuff fixed it so I’m happy. I hope you are as well!

A few snaps of what I was wearing this weekend when strolling through the pretty little city I grew up in. I wore super simple black and white with a bit of snow leopard and my beloved Kenzo bag. Don’t know what it is with black and white lately, it just keeps happening. Had a really nice weekend with family and friends and shrimps and online shopping sprees (number one and number two, oooops) and I’m starting the week in a good mood. Fun shoots planned, a good weather forecast for the next few days and I’ll probably squeeze in an ice cream or two. What are you up to this week? (By the way, I’m loving our conversations lately, it’s so nice reading all of your comments, thoughts and suggestions, keep them coming!)

Insomnia doesn’t have that much benefits, but when you find out that in the middle of the night sale started at Net-a-Porter, it’s suddenly not that bad that you’re not sleeping. It’s one of those sales that’s really good but you have to be quick to get what you want in your size. Luckily, I was just in time and clicked this Acne blazer home. I can imagine you, my readers, finding it a surprising choice but I actually loved it since the moment it came out. However, it was one of those cases in which I didn’t want to get it because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a spur of the moment/season crush. Months later however, I still adore it (probably even more), I love the shade of green, it would be such a cool statement piece and look good with all my blacks, whites, greys and denims, and I won’t mind next season that it’s last season. A well thought-over midnight sale shopping spree. Just what I needed. Now let’s see if I can catch my much needed beauty sleep now.

Is there anything better than black leather? Probably yes, but I have those moods and moments where there’s nothing better. Those moments are usually in fall but I love myself some summer leather as well, especially when doing all black. Wish we could talk more but today is the day when I’ll let the pictures do the talking, I hope you don’t mind. Happy Sunday!

I’m wearing a total Zara look, but find a similar leather jacket here, a similar pair of faux leather shorts here and similar open boots here. And the bag is 3.1 Phillip Lim, love how it brings that little extra to my outfit.

Since you can access the Nelly sale today, a few days earlier than anyone else (click here and use code LUCY to access the sale) I thought I’d show you my favorites from the sale. I couldn’t resist and placed an order myself as well..

Issue 1.3 light blue blazer / AfterDRK wrap skirt / Savannah fringe vest
Camo flatform sneakers / Patent loafers / Leopard sandals
Tiger of Sweden top / Issue 1.3 silky trousers / Vila blue wrap shirt
L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara (my favorite) / Nail bracelet / USLU Airlines grey nail polish / Issue 1.3 zebra belt

So from the items above I got the fringe vest (perfect for festival season!), the mascara and the nail polish (love great deals on beauty products), but what I also got..

The most amazing grey trousers from Tiger of Sweden that mysteriously disappeared from the sale after I ordered them. The jacket is still available though, I was it was in my size!. I’m so into grey and these suit trousers are a great addition to my wardrobe, since I don’t own anything like them and will be great worn casually with sneakers but also chic with heels. And then, there’s the IRO jacket. That I fell in love with when Camille wore it, and that I just couldn’t resist now it was 50% off. I mean, a bomber jacket in animal print, so me! Find the jacket here.

Don’t forget to go to the sale access page first and use code LUCY, that way you can get in!

There’s no doubt about it, the key word for this summer is Slouchy with a capital S. Silky slouch, sheer slouch, loose fits and sexless flat sandals, they will all be there, and I will be celebrating summer with them. I am soooo digging what must be one of the most comfortable trends ever! I could wear this all summer. Just a pair of loose wide trousers and a slouchy tee or jumper with flats for more minimal looks, or adding a scarf, sunnies, bags and jewelry to spice them up a little as I did here. I love these sandals by the way!

On a different note: thanks for all your suggestions regarding my cry for having nothing to wear. You guys really came with some good things! I already sold quite a lot of stuff that deserved to be worn more, just not by me, and will probably continue to clean out my closet (it’s just sooo much work!). But the most important thing I’ll do is sit it out. Wait until my inspiration will come back, one of you was right by pointing out that it might be the things I’m going through that makes me feel less inspired as well (I still can’t wear skinnies or tight shirts, anything tight really which is half of my wardrobe). In the mean time, I will try to be a bit more creative with what’s in my closet right now (because it’s not that bad, really) and slowly get excited for what’s to come for fall (not the weather, the collections). So thanks guys, what would I do without you? So tap yourself on the back, and have a great Friday!
