Fur cardigan

December 25, 2024

 


You've probably by now seen the ongoing debate on whether it's more ethical to wear real vintage fur ot fake fur. We are all drawn to conclusion that vintage fur is actually the best for the Planet since it doesn't pollute the environment the way making of fake fur does. As far as real fur goes you probably know its impact and non ethical way its made. So what about vintage fur makes it better? It's already here so destroying it seems unreasonable and why not get vintage fur instead of making new fur coats every day. With all of this being said I have to say here I'm wearing a cardigan with fake fur. I already did an outfit post with it a way back so here's another way to make it more eco friendly, re-wear the clothes you already have. 
This cardigan was a part of  The Camille Charrière x Mango Collection and I think that collaboration had some really nice pieces.
 Also, I wore it on a snowy day since it somehow makes sense to wear these type of cardigans in wintry weather. and I think that collaboration had some really nice pieces. 

Summer fit

August 11, 2024

First time wearing this hat on the beach and it does have a specific vibe. It's super practical since I can just pack it in any beach bag. I don't know it is kid of cute, I've never had a beach hat like this before, all the other ones I've had were made of straw and with some kind of structure. This one has a vibe similar to bucket hats but with a wider and more loose brim. The rest of the outfit is a typical summer outfit for me, a shirt paired with a pair of black shorts over a swimsuit. And with my favorite beach bag. 

Bodycon dresses revival

July 15, 2024

Who remembers the era of bodycon dresses? More specifically the bandage dress, the ultimate example of this style. I have to admit that back then I thought they were tacky. It was the spirit of the time, if you loved flowy dresses you were supposed to look down on the bandage dress style, but when I  think about it now, they weren't that bad at all. Like always, Hervé Léger has some really pretty bandage dresses and I've seen people on TikTok wearing the ''vintage'' ones (or should I say older ones that were thrifted). This one I'm wearing is not exactly the tight bodycon type, since I wanted a dress I can wear everyday. It's in a similar style though which made me remember bandage dresses existed. Today I decided to blow-dry my hair after days of air drying it and I used a dupe for a Revlon blowout brush. It gives you a nice hairstyle I guess, but I prefer a salon blowout. 

Cotton jumpsuit

May 22, 2024


I feel like jumpsuits are the most practical piece of clothing ever. Especially these type that look like dresses since you get the dress aesthetic but so practical and comfy. This one is maybe the prettiest one I own. It has this kind of a retro romantic vibe so I thought it was perfect for me. And the fabric is so nice which is always a plus.

Flared pants

April 03, 2024


Flares are not the newest of trends but I had to comment on this since they do give the best outfit silhouettes.  Especially with sneakers and kitten heels boots. Here I paired them with a boho straw bag and a denim jacket. These types of jackets are also gaining popularity right now and I still remember when they were popular back in the day. Same goes for flared pants since I wore them a lot as a kid.

Styling sneakers

April 02, 2024

 

I'm not much of a sneakers person but I do wear them sometimes and they are the most comfortable shoes when a lot of walking is involved. Here I wore them in the simplest possible outfit but I thought to write a couple of tips on how to style them in a more elegant way. First of all I like to pair them with simple looks to get the best vibe and also I love how sneakers look with these wrap coats or other oversized items. Other thing you could do is ''the wrong shoe theory'' popular right now, that states that a look should be worn with completely opposite shoes, for example floral flowy dress with a pair of chunky sporty sneakers. Of course it goes withought saying you should get a pair you really like despite all the trends. 

Y2K sweater

March 31, 2024

I used to love these type of sweaters with bell sleeves, I remember my sister having one that was so pretty, purple with white flower design. Y2K fashion is still around and even if it wasn't, its comeback made us all think about those cuts and silhouettes. What I loved about sweaters back then is the fact they all were fitted, this one isn't but it still has those same vibes.

Camel coats with white shirts

March 30, 2024

Although this looks like a super simple outfit it kind of gives a Pinterest vibe. I am still not used to camel wrap coats, but I'm warming up to this one. Even here I didn't wear it completely wrapped up. Ever since the weather started transitioning to spring it made sense to me to switch up my darker coats for a camel one.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates today! As always I'm wishing you the best year ever!

New Year's lookbook: sparkly top

December 30, 2023

This year I'm only doing one New Year's lookbook, but I'll post what I actually wore for New Year's eve as well. I loved this top when I saw it, it kind of has a 90s vibe, but it also has a pretty sparkle which makes it perfect for the Holidays. Pants are something I already had in my closet and they create an interesting look paired with this top.

Suede boots

December 29, 2023

I love this pair of boots I recently got, they look so good in winter looks and they are actually very comfortable. Still not so much for a lot of walking which I tried couple of days ago, to walk in them for the whole day and maybe I overdid it. Besides that they are so cute, kind of brownish green color so they do add a different touch to a look than classic black boots. 

Casual vibes

December 28, 2023

 

An outfit a little bit more casual than my everyday style, but I did wear it on a casual day. I love this coat, still it sometimes gets too warm when I wear it so I wore it unbuttoned for this look.

A winter skirt look

December 27, 2023

 

Luckily it was so warm this December so I was able to wear all of my favorite skirts with jackets outfits. Of course you still need to wear them with tights for winter looks but I do love those looks so much. When you add a pair of nice boots it creates a perfect look for colder weather.

Kimono coat

December 26, 2023

 

There's really no such thing as a kimono coat, well with the exception of a haori which is traditionally worn over a Japanese kimono, but the style of this one (no lapels, wide sleeves) reminded me of a kimono a lot. It also wraps around which adds to the kimono like silhouette.

Boots over leggings

December 25, 2023


One of the looks I wore a lot this season, leggings with boots and oversized sweaters. The trick here is of course the silhouette, when you wear boots with leggings you need an oversized top/jacket combo to even it out.

Autumn colors

November 26, 2023

 


Here's another outfit that matches the autumn background. I wore just a casual turtleneck with a pair of jeans for a Sunday look and I also wore my hair up in a hair clip, which I didn't originally plan, since it was so windy today wearing it down didn't make sense.

Sparkly makeup and corduroy pants

November 25, 2023

 

With the Holidays slowly approaching, I'm getting more and more in the festive mood and sparkly makeup always reminds me of this time of the year. Usually I would do either sparkly eyelids or red lips (and if I'm really in the festive mood, both) here I used Kiko Colour lasting creamy eyeshadow which is one of my favorite creamy eye shadows of all time. And for the look, I remembered I had these amazing corduroy flared pants so I thought they also look very wintry and festive.

Quilted jacket

November 24, 2023


As you can probably tell I love this silhouette where you waist is cinched, it just gives such a nice overall look and a shape to an outfit. Funny thing is that besides coats I also have other jackets like this one here that are belted and I even have one I got when I was fifteen so probably I've always liked how they look on. Quilted jackets are more of an autumn staple for me while I wear bigger puffer jackets in the winter.

Wrap coat take two

November 23, 2023

 

Another look with my favorite type of coat, last one was with a black coat and this one is greenish and also a bit thicker. Here I paired it with zebra print pants, I'm not a biggest fan of animal prints but I am warming up to them a bit. I even thrifted a blouse in a similar print recently so we will see, maybe I'll start wearing it more.

Coat and over the knee boots

November 22, 2023

 

The most wearable autumn look, wrap coat with boots. Here I wore it with a pair of over the knee boots since I wore a skirt, but if I was wearing jeans or pants I would have opted for shorter heeled boots. I've been wearing this exact combination of a coat and over the knee boots for a while and I still like it a lot.
