The fairy

My mother gave me this wonderful hair ornament a while ago, and I still love it. It's from a bridal shop, and even though a marriage isn't on my schedule right now, I love wearing this accessory. I think it suits the top pretty well. The pearls of the crown definitely complement the sequins, and together they give the outfit sort of a fairy look (with some help of the gorgeous environment).

Camouflage

When I saw the weather forecast for yesterday, I didn't have to think for a long time about my choice of footwear for the day. For granted, I chose my all-time favorite suede wedge sandals. I almost forgot how comfortable they are and hey.. don't you think they are beyond gorgeous? I decided to go for sort of a camouflage look. I used items in brown and green shades, and completed the look with my new safari necklace. With an accessoire like that, you imagine yourself in sunny times already. And what's a better feeling than summer? I truly can't wait for it to be that season!

Duotone look (+ GIVEAWAY)

"Thinking is talking of the soul with itself" - Plato

Blue used to be my favorite color by far when I was younger. My preference for colors changed when time passed, but I still feel very attracted to my electric blue JC boots. To make this shade of blue look extra chic, I combined it with only black items to create a duotone outfit. I always think duotone outfits look a bit futuristic, and that's something I really like from time to time.

Cardigan - Outfitters Nation

Sturdy fabrics

Did you have a wonderful Christmas? I did, and I got such amazing gifts. There were more gifts than I could ever wish for, and I'll definitely show them to you in one of the upcoming blogposts! My brother gave me an a-ma-zing yellow leather cowboys bag, and I took it right with me when visiting my grandpa. The rest of the outfit for the first day of Christmas consisted of the items I bought myself last Friday: A knitted boys sweater (the cut and length is much better than those of woman sweaters), a asymmetric sheer shirt and grey leggings. I cut my tights to use them as socks in my leather ankle boots, and to complete the look I curled my hair.

A quick outfitshot

Hurry on a Friday morning isn't uncommon for me. Most of the time, this results in a decision to wear something comfortable that first comes to mind. This morning, I chose a knitted cardi in combination with a cream-colored skirt and top. Added a pair of wedges and a croco bag to these items, and I was ready to go.

Outfit: "Autumnal colors"

I'm pretty envious when I'm looking at other blogs and notice many people are still able to go outside with bare legs. Even though I love hunting for new autumn clothes, I'd kill someone for wearing skirts and sandals again (in a way of speaking, of course). However, since I can't change the weather, let's focus on the positive side of it: I'm allowed to combine my favorite colors for fall endlessly. And even better: I combine these shades without getting bored of them. It seems like it can't stop wearing them, like there's a force outside of me that makes me obsessed with it. Haha, OK.. This becomes too dramatic..

Outfit: "Back to university"

Daily life has started again, now that the vacation is over. I used to get a new set of clothes for my first day at school, when I was younger. So, falling back to this tradition, I wore this new set of clothes on the first day after my summer break. I bought the blazer and the pants in London last week. I made the  navy sheer top myself, inspired by a off-white one I recently bought in H&M. Love to make combinations with different autumn-shades at the moment. Can't stop buying maroon, blue/navy, and ocher/mustard items.

Outfit: "London"

Sturdy boots, leather jacket, a large dose of excitement, and we were ready to depart by ferry to Harwich. We arrived there in the early morning, and took the train from the port to London. We enjoyed each of the twelve hours we spent in the city the fullest, but unfortunately we had to turn back on the ship the same evening. One day in London is way too short, but though I'm so glad we made this trip. I bought some amazing clothes and I can't wait to go back. Moreover, it was my first time traveling by boat, and this mini cruise was a great experience.
