A simple stroll

DSC_0482DSC_0579

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!)

Outfit | Summer leather

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.

The Summer of Slouch

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!

Spoilt.

My love for fashion is the big, everlasting, intense kind of love that has brought me great things, this blog being the greatest, but sometimes love can have a bad influence on us. Here’s the deal. I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR. Ok, that is not even close to true, but you know the feeling right? I haven’t been shopping that much lately and somehow my wardrobe is not satisfying at the moment, it needs freshness and newness. That I haven’t been able to find since I’m not even sure what it is that I’m looking for. So getting a bunch of new stuff is not even an option right now, I’d have no idea what to get. All I can do is stand in front of my closet, and feel unsatisfied and spoilt at the same time. Because there’s enough in it, but I think it needs a big cleanout. I already started that (to much of your enthusiasm, as I noticed in my little closet shop) but there’s more work to be done this week, so keep an eye out. And then there’s the question: what is it that I do want? I don’t even know, I feel like a spoilt little brat that has a handful of cookies and still wants more. The temporary solution is sticking to what I’m most comfortable with in outfits. Black and white, oversized, comfy. So there you go, yesterday’s look – chilling in a big hoodie with a tight skirt for some much needed contrast to my desire for comfort, and some simple black booties. So that was yesterday, but what on earth will I wear today?

Do you ever have these feelings? How do you solve them?

Casually Caged

Having a bad case of the Mondays! Normally I don’t mind them that much but I’m not sure what it is today. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was all hot and summer last week, and the skies are grey today? Anyways, this is an outfit from last week, on a really hot day when I quickly went out to snap what I was wearing because I just had to show you this top. Loving the caged sleeves! I wore it with some cow print and easy slip-ons, as always black and white does it for me, especially when I have some details like prints and finger bling going on. Can’t talk much today, sorry, so much work to do! Stay tuned for tomorrows post – the answers to your Q&A part 2 where I answer personal questions!
Happy Monday!

Sunday Funday

DSC_0283outfit kenzo leopard vans sweaterkenzo ss13 clouded leopard print sweater pitti uomoDSC_0296outfit kenzo leopard sweater bright vans matching

I’m in a good mood this weekend! The weather is great, hanging out with friends and good food was just what I needed. My outfits reflect my mood more often than not, so here’s what I wore. Decided to go all matchy with my bright Vans and sweater with the same fun and cool leopard pattern. Wait, recognise that sweater (from here maybe)? Yes, those who follow me on instagram have already seen it, but I did what for some is the unthinkable. I customized something ‘designer’. I was less scared then you were I guess (in the end, clothing is clothing and no matter the price, it’s always better when you actually wear it), but here’s the story. Being absolutely obsessed with Kenzo SS13 clouded leopard print, I got this special edition sweater, which was more or less unisex but pretty much a men’s fit. Sometimes, I like myself a men’s fit, but in this case I didn’t. It was just not very flattering. So I had 2 options: leave it hanging in my closet and hardly ever wear it, even though I love the print, or customize it so that it becomes one of my favorite tops. Sounds better when I put it like that right? I love how it’s more feminine, slightly cropped and – for me – very wearable right now. Sorry Kenzo, but I’m not so sorry!
Would you ever customize designer clothing? How do you think this little project turned out?
Happy Sunday!

Outfit | Work Mode

Wearing a blouse underneath a sweater always gives me a sort of office-feel, it’s when I think back of the time I spent at important law-events when I studied law, that is what I wore often to look neat and at the same time avoid wearing a blazer. It’s been a few years since I wore that combo, but I decided to play around with it a little. I’m in work mode today anyways, so much work to do! This skort is obviously too short for any office look and I added some sneakers as well to get to a professional-but-not-professional look. I love my contrasts. Also: I love my Céline sunnies. Even though they cover half my face. Sometimes I just need that. Happy Thursday!
