Neat, but youthful

If I've got a little time, I love trying new hairstyles on myself. Long hair provides lots of possibilities, so my hair is perfect to satisfy my creative needs. I try to heat my hair as little as possible, but I just bought a nourishing heat protection spray, so happily I'm able to use the curling- or flat iron more often. Unfortunately, my curling iron is very old and it doesn't work great anymore. So I need a better one. Then someone told me that a better alternative to create glamorous curls would be a flat iron. She's a hairdresser and she makes gorgeous curls with hers. I saw great flat irons here, and I was just wondering.. Do you think I'd do wise to buy one of those, or do you prefer a curling iron?

Then about my look of last Sunday. The hair is inspired by Gossip Girl's Serena. When I saw this hairstyle on her (season 3), I had to try it. I think it looks neat and classy, but playful at the same time. I did my best to create an outfit that's also characterized by these features. On the one hand I chose a sophisticated black blazer and my new Outfitters Nation pants, and on the other hand the snakeskin-printed pieces. I really like the balance between neat and youthful, and I hope you agree with me!

Pants - Outfitters Nation, Top - Felicee

Outfit: "Business suit"

If you ask me, glasses are one of the best accessoiries when wearing a suit or a blazer. I paired them with red lips and two statement necklaces. Two necklaces? Why? Because I think only the black one should give a too serious look, and only the red one should break the whole. The use of these two necklaces together ensures that the separate items of the outfit complement each other. Further, a simple white tee and two-toned loafers to complete the black and white (and a pop of red) ensemble. It probably would seem that the bag clashes with the rest of the outfit because of its different color, but in my opinion it matches perfectly. I think it keeps the look a little playful, exciting and edgy.

Outfit: "All hands on deck"

Preferences for certain colors may change radically, I've experienced personally. I used to own nothing in dark blue or navy, but I really adore the shade at the moment. It's obvious that I'll wear it a lot in the upcoming autumn and winter. I think it looks great with beige and maroon, and even colors like mustard or specific tones of brown could be awesome in combination with it.

Outfit: "The suit"

I've wanted a monochromatic suit for a while now. I got my eyes on a total-white one with shorts and draped blazer a few weeks ago, but unfortunately it was sold out. Hereafter, I thought a bright blue suit would be so cool, but as the days passed, I decided that a black one was the one I wanted. I only searched for pants, because I already own black blazers. I'm really happy with the result of my search, because the black suit is to combine with almost everything. You can see the first ensemble in the pictures below, but I visualise myself already wearing the suit with neon pink or blue sandals and a bright back in the same color. Très cool, if you ask me.

And thank you so much for the sweet words because of the first anniversary of my blog. I really appreciate it, and I promise there's an awesome giveaway on it's way. So stay tuned.
