StyleMint is an online shopping platform, that was launched by MK and Ashley Olsen this summer. They have really awesome promotional videos you should check out, just like this little interactive video / style quiz starring the Olsen twins.
I’m the “runway girl”, you?
I always found polka dots to be childish. unless you’re a little girl or a japanese lolita, just stay away from them.
Now polka dots have entered a new era of chic. In the form of giant sequins or messy prints and in a sophisticated context they will look mature but still with a little wink, since we do not take ourselves too seriously.

There seems to be a clear color code in my latest acquisitions, it’s great since everything goes well together. I have no idea where this new mellow mood came from, but I feel great in light beige, khaki and mint tones. But what I lack in extravagant colors, I make up in patterns and structure, mixing velvet, metallics, glitter and shiny fabrics. That way I can wear a monochromatic outfit, without it looking homogenous or plain.
The metallic satchel was a gift for my birthday, my sister ordered in on asos, the velvet top is from 3suisses, scarf from weekday (sooo cozy) and the nail polish is from Kiko.
The highly anticipated Best of Versace collection for H&M finally had it’s presentation, or shall I say spectacle, in New York and everyone was invited: Celebrities, fashionistas, bloggers – Uma Thurman, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, as well as Elin Kling and Bryan Boy on the blogger side, just to name a few. I guess people who have the most influence on the potential costumer. Watching the video of the show I felt like the entire cast of Gossip Girl was sitting in the front row.
Honestly, I loved the trailer for the collection – but this is about clothes. There seems to have been a huge amount of effort put in to promoting a collection, which frankly does not knock me off my socks. Sure it’s glamourous, there’s a lot of bling and bold prints. Yet it seems dated and weirdly inconsistent.
The lookbook is good – the picture with the two blondes has a creepy vibe to it, which I like. Plus, there’s Abbey Lee Kershaw – who looks good in anything, let’s face it.
I’m very curious to see these clothes hanging on the racks of a crowded H&M – I think that will cost them their glamour factor. And how many people can pull off tropical prints and all-over studs? We shall wait and see.
my latest acquisition, ordered from 3suisses..
Absolutely impeccable styling in this über-cool lookbook from the Maryam Nassir Zadeh online shop. Wish I could have every single piece. LOVE IT.

The other day I ordered a pair of blue glitter flats from 3suisses. I’m loving the new found sophistication of glitter.
Guess that’s just the little girl inside me..
recent addition to my closet: a fluo tank top and a long sleeve from weekday and a long needed replacement for my old black hat from h&m
