summer’s favorite shoes

Every year I have trouble finding sandals and I end up buying 3 pairs of 3€ espadrilles that I can throw away after one season instead of settling for sandals I’m not that much into. This year is different. Sandals are minimalistic, sportswear inspired, futuristic-looking and I adore them. Now the only issue is choosing..

ways to wear orange

One of the most polarizing colors out there is orange. It is not very easy to wear and many people stay away from it. I don’t own a single orange item since it makes my skin tone look like pale pink but I am seeing more and more pops of (mostly neon) orange here and there (for example in the A/W collections of Céline and Gaultier) and I’m starting to like it. So here are some ways to wear orange..

look.. it’s Behati

The lovely Behati Prinsloo shot by Nicolas Moore in vibrant colors and prints for Elle France. I’ve been in love with her ever since I first watched the legendary Corner video.

Rainbows

Time for happy colors! I had a fantastic time in portugal and the colorful style there inspired this post. Sorry for bad blogging but it was great to have some time for myself and just enjoy being around family and friends and well, the sun for a change.

All colors in one and a little bit of I don’t care.. 

Black vs. White

A classic. But why choose when black and white look so good together? My favorite pieces in the sexiest non-colors for this summer..

details: tassels

While I was shopping for my carnival costume, I found these tassels at an arts and crafts shop. Really quick DIY action and there it was, a tassel necklace. The only other thing you need for it is a thread. Piece of cake.

Lovely, don’t you think?

Lisbon Street Style

I’m having the most wonderful time in my third home town, Lisbon. Today, I went to Chiado to do a little shopping with my cousin and to captivate a few examples of Lisbon’s great street style.

Thank you to all you dear strangers for posing for me!

current favorites

This is what my list on fashiolista looks like these days. What a romantic color palette, very dreamy, yet the silhouettes are sharp and I’m very much into structural pieces. Isn’t the apricot suede jacket from Acne divine?

Today’s details

Today I’m wearing Cheap Monday jeans, a vintage shredded knit top and my glitter clutch from Zara. Also, I have a new nail polish: it’s a matte top coat from p2 over an olive nail polish from Kiko. I think it looks really cool over pale hues.
I have a really bad nail polish addiction. I can not go into a drug store and leave without a new color. But at least I mostly buy the really cheap ones..

look.. Theyskens’ Theory

I particularly enjoyed this collection shown at NYFW. Lots of sheer and leather and the contrast of hard and soft could also be seen in the silhouettes. Their girl looks tough, confident and independent. Very wearable collection, very street. Loved it.
