So we’re back to cold weather. Be careful what you wish for, that’s what they say. I wanted it to get colder so I could wear my new leather jacket from I Don’t Like Mondays more often so.. there.
I’m wearing it with an oversized shirt from Weekday and some bling from a market in India as well as a pendant from Fashionology.
Since summer finally arrived I can’t stop thinking about my upcoming trip to Portugal (okay, it’s only in two months but I can not wait!). I’ve made a list of my summer necessities..
Something white. A white, slightly sheer blouse does everything. I always try to travel with hand luggage only so choosing versatile pieces is key.
Something short. Needless to say anything. It’s a necessity.
Something bold. I tend to under-accessorize during summer, but one statement piece really makes a difference. Found this amazing plexi cuff here.
Something waterproof. Again – versatility. Plus a sense of humor and nostalgia. Get them here.
Something tropical. And revealing. Via Miss Selfridge.
Something cool. And protective. These are perfection in my opinion. Via Gargyle.
What a fabulous biker jacket I now own. The cute detail in the back and the quilted parts really make it stand out and the leather is so soft. Unfortunately, I can’t really wear it with it being 30°C outside, but the time will come.
I’m wearing: Sunglasses from Urban Outfitters, jacket courtesy of I Don’t Like Mondays and Fashiolista (thanks again!), dress from Weekday, H&M sandals and Monki Clutch.
It’s finally here! The jacket I won from I Don’t Like Mondays a few weeks ago finally arrived.. at the customs office. I went there this morning and had to learn that there really is no such thing as a free lunch. Apparently, even a prize has its price. Still. I got an amazing leather jacket for 17,5% of its actual price, so I can’t really complaint. I’ll post a photo of me in it as soon as I can.
Another recent addition to my closet is this wonderful clutch from Muji. Technically, it’s a pencil case, but where is the fun in that? I’m in need of a new wallet, mine is slowly falling apart. Inside the purse: Glasses from ASOS, L’Oréal 4D Mascara, Vaseline, wallet from the flea market.
I guess it’s only natural in the cycle of fashion that this pattern is coming back. After years of designers being influenced by everything military, camouflage is creeping back into the pages of style blogs and onto the streets, promoted by Carine Roitfeld and Columbine Smille among others. I’ve never really disliked this pattern. I owned camouflage pants when I was 12 and adored them.
It’s one of those patterns people swear they’ll never wear – which they probably will at some point. I feel that way about leopard print by the way, I’ve never owned anything leo. But never say never.
Also, for more than 2 years we’ve been seeing denim jackets everywhere and I need an alternative summer jacket.
I say: Yes to camouflage!

Last sunday I had a successful day at the flea market where I sold a bunch of my stuff. The other girls there were selling quite a few goodies, for instance a two toned scarf from weekday, which I couldn’t resist.
What a beautiful day that was.
From head to toe: Hat from H&M, Weekday scarf, blazer and top both from Zara, Necklace from Fashionology, metallic satchel from ASOS, cheap monday jeans and glittery lace-up shoes from 3suisses.
And by the way, I’m glad to announce my first collaboration with Replay and Fashiolista. I’ll tell you all about it next week..

Something I wore the other day. Excuse the poor quality of the photo (ugh and I’m no fan of mirror pics, but who is?), I felt as if I should post this look anyways, since I haven’t posted an outfit in a while.
Cheap monday jeans, Gina Tricot denim shirt, old belt I stole from my mom, necklace from somewhere in India, H&M cardigan, Weekday scarf, Weekday coat, shoes from Dinsko and my studded Zara tote, which is so pointy I hurt myself all the time, but I still love it, it’s like an abuse boyfriend.
