dip it!

Ever since I saw Phillip Lim at his spring/summer 2012 show in his dip dyed pants I’ve been intrigued by the look. It just gives an outfit a very interesting new dimension. And now dip-dyed pieces are popping up everywhere..

But then this is the perfect trend for people like me who are into arts and crafts. I have already dip dyed a tank top and I bought bleach (2,50€ at any drug store) yesterday to dip a pair of denim shorts into. There’s really no excuse, if you buy dip dyed garments you’re lazy.

piece of cake.

new in

The other day ASOS had a shoe sale and I couldn’t resist. I also ordered a bunch of other stuff just to try on, but these are the keepers: a white crop top, neon bralette and wonderful brogues with contrasting soles for 26€.

details: candy nails

Since spring hasn’t fully kicked in yet, I am at least trying out the pastel color trend on my nails. I know it’s immature and everything but I’ve always felt the need to decorate things around me, so I guess that’s where my nail polish addiction comes from.

Light blue by Essences, neon by Depend, candy cotton pink by Alessandro and matte top coat by P2 – around 2€ each.

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?

Weekday pre-launch

Today Weekday is launching their new MTWTFSSWEEKDAY collection. It features high quality items and the finest fabrics such as cashmere, silk and leather.

Last night was the pre-launch and I was able to take a look at this highly anticipated collection.

I loved almost every garment, one could really tell they were of great quality. Weekday presented a wonderful collection. As usual effortless in simplicity and a low-key color palette, but smarter than ever and definitely more chic. As I had expected, my favorite was the white sweater.

I left my wallet at home though, sparkling wine was being served and I know the risk of drinking and shopping.

Also, there was a band from Sweden called Navet. You can check out some of their tracks here.

Here are some pictures from the event..

Soon, you shall be mine.

Their singer Julia was so lovely.

Unfortunately the trio was not complete, because their guitarist was sick – get better soon!

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..
