Just Black

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your day going so far?

For today’s look I am wearing one of my favorite all-time combinations: a cute off-the-shouler ruffle top, black skinny jeans, black sunnies and ballet shoes. And because we planned to spend our day out shopping I choose for a large size shopper 😉

P.S.: I think flat shoes can really elevate a pair of figure-hugging jeans to no end.

The Shirt Dress

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

A fresh and  timeless spring and summer staple, this lightweight shirt dress turned out to be my favorite piece. Shirtdresses are casual and easy to wear, making them perfect for the warmer days of spring and summer. They are versatile and can be easily dresses up or down.

So, if you haven’t invested in a good one yet, I recommend you do so now! 😉

Happy Easter!

Hello Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

I just wanted to say hi and share some photos with you from last weekend. In today’s post, I’m wearing my latest find  –  the high waist  mom jeans from Zara. Comfy and casual, they are exactly what I was searching for but haven’t been able to find the perfect fit until these ones.

 

I also want to take this opportunity to wish you Happy Easter!

Just give Pink a chance!

 

Good morning Everyone and happy Thursady! How is your week going so far?

Guess what’s hot this spring? All things pink!

 

 And what’s not to love about pink? It goes with everything and makes you look fresher than fresh!

 

There has always been something… juvenile about this color, traditionally associated with hyper-femininity (formerly the preserve of Barbie) but, it’s 2017 and people are wearing what they love. So it’s no surprise that pink has been reclaimed by designers, editors, and industry movers, positioning this color at the center of their aesthetics. The prayers of girly girls everywhere have been answered: pink is the unofficial color of the year!

My Essentials

Hello Everyone and happy (almost) 😉 weekend! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday! 

I love the classic look! That’s why  today’s blog post is dedicated to not one but three (!) wardrobe classics: the beige trench coat, the relaxed fit jeans and the white blouse. For me, these items are the workhorses of any well-dressed woman’s wardrobe, providing the foundation for many outstanding looks.There’s something so effortlessly chic about  these classic and timeless key items! And let’s be honest: you can never go wrong with a beige trench coat and a pair of jeans.

 I think it’s definitely worth investing some money in these closet essentials, because they will never be out of style – promise!

Pink * Feminine Energy

One of the most popular colors for Spring 2017 is pink. Dusty pink, candy pink, baby pink, raspberry, fuchsia, peach, magenta and deep cherry pink provide a pretty new way to see fashion through rose-tinted glasses.

For today’s look I paired this beautiful  MbyM  trench coat in dusty salmon shade with a pair of  flared jeans and sneakers for a casual look . I absolutely love the  maxi quilted scarf in the same color, it really elevates the whole look to another level.

Sequin Denim

Good morning Everyone and happy Sunday! I just wanted to say hi and share a few new images from ous visit to the Vlindorado butterfly garden, yesterday.  

Last week I noticed  these pair of jeans (with reversible sequins on the front!) in  the H&M online store  and just couldn’t resist the urge. I mean, I never had a pair of sequin pants before but what a fabulous  item to have in your closet!

Sequins are undergoing a major comeback, so be on the lookout for more of it soon! For this look, I decided to pair the jeans with a black ruffle top. To finish off the look, I chose black ankle boots and an oversized bomber jacket.

You have to remember though that sequins are a big statement. So it’s imperative you keep the rest of your look very minimal and stick to neutrals.

What trends do you spy being a big thing in 2017? Let me know in the comments below!

Leopard print to the office? Yes!

Hello Everyone and happy Sunday! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

In the last few years, leopard print has really moved on to a whole new level. This wild print is nothing to be afraid of and, done right, looks super-chic.

But it’s one thing to rock this animal print when you are out on the town with the girls, but can you pull it off in the workplace? Yes. Leopard print is one of the boldest animal prints a woman can wear to the office. You don’t have to avoid it. Let’s take for example this pretty blouse from Only. If you want to make it the focal point of your outfit, just  keep the color combo simple with soothing neutrals  such as nudes, browns, black, dark navy blues and olive greens. Keep everything else you’re wearing simple to avoid creating too many distractions.

The coated denim

Good morning Everyone and happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far?

 I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few images of my latest obsession, this silver coated H&M denim. I think streamlined & sleek, lacquered denim is the easiest way to add a luxe, polished touch to your wardrobe without sacrificing comfort. You can make your pair work appropriate by wearing them with a relaxed button up or a smart, tailored jacket. Add a structured pretty bag and a smart pair of heels for a look you can take from office to street.

The Long Plaid Coat

Good morning Everyone and happy Sunday! There’s no doubt that the worst of winter has arrived, bringing sub-zero temperatures and icy winds along with it but when I see snow I feel pure joy! Many of us have happy childhood memories of playing in the snow, so when we see those big, fluffy flakes twirling from the sky, these memories kick in and we feel  like a kid again.

I’m in love with this long plaid coat from the moment I saw it! Why? Because it looks rich and glamorous, refined and sophisticated. Something about a  long wool coat screams impeccable style. To get an effortless casual style, I am wearing the coat with jeans, a white sweater and gumboots (I think gumboots are not just practical – they’re also fashionable).  😉 Classic pumps will look great for a sophisticated style, and flats for a more masculine chic.
