Suits have been the center of attention for two years now and as we have been seeing all over the runways they will continue to reign in seasons to come. They are flattering and empowering, best of all can be styled up or down. As a woman wearing a structured suit with a gorgeous pair of heels I feel not only strong and confident, but also sexy. Suits also look stylish worn with sneakers, it gives a youthful and fresh perspective on the look.
If you're new to the trend start with a matching suit in black or navy. Once you feel more comfortable with that you can mix and match colors and patterns, going bolder and having more fun with it. Suits don't have to be corporate boring. Even if prints, patterns or colors aren't your thing you can still play with different textures and cuts.
The suit I'm sharing today is one I put together by styling a pair of Zara trousers I've had for more than a year now with this new River Island blazer. The blazer has ruffled flute sleeves, making it more interesting and feminine, while the trousers have a gold stripe detail on the waist cinching you in. The small details are the ones that help you pop and distinguish yourself. Here are my tips for styling suits.
1. Confidence is key, so pick a suit that makes you feel fabulous. The material, cut, color and style should all be to your highest standards. Be careful how it fits, have the patience to find the right one for you. If all those elements are perfect for you, naturally you will feel confident in it.
2. Play and match feminine with masculine elements. Suits have been seen as masculine for a very long time, but women are now proving they can wear it more stylish. Find your sweet spot of mixing masculine and feminine factors, there isn't one formula that works for all.
3. Be creative yet polished. Have fun with your styling by incorporating colors, patterns or interesting textures, but stay sophisticated.

With summer around the corner, floral embroidery is dominating the street-style scene. It's feminine and gives a romantic touch to any outfit.
Take my outfit for example, I paired this romantic blouse with my leather trousers. The feminine details balance the toughness of the trousers, as do my bow mules. It's my kind of perfect balance between girly and edgy. Over the past month, you've been able to see my style transitioning into the hot weather. I've been introducing a lot more pastel colors and light fabrics. I can't wait for summer to here!
This cute SheIn blouse embodies summer vibes. It has floral embroidered details, ruffled sleeves and it's white. With summer approaching, I look forward to wearing a lot more white. Truth be told, I also adore the look of all white in winter, but don't trust myself to keep an outfit clean. Ahaha It's not like I'm a clumsy person, but with rain or snow, accidents happen. In high school I ruined my sister's favorite pair of white jeans wearing them in fall. Needless to say, she was beyond pissed.
Have you unintentionally ruined your sibling's/mother's clothing before?

Mother Nature has been incredibly generous with Milan, offering a full week of sunny and warm days. A bit of wind from time to time, but overall it felt like spring is almost here. Hopefully this won't jinx it, because I'm most certainly getting addicted to the warmth of the beams on my cheeks.
Fishnet stockings had a bad reputation until a year or so ago, but now they're the perfect detail for some edge, transforming a simple look into something sassy. Last week I shared a look pairing them with a skirt and I hope to bring you even more looks on how to style them in different ways.
Don't you find it funny how I blend in with the window shop in the background? That was not intentional!
Today's look pairs fishnet tights with culottes and pumps. Keeping it simple, I added a crop top and a grey coat to top it off. Accessories wise, I opted for dainty golden rings and a choker with gold ring. You'll notice the pumps also have gold details. To brighten up the look, I added a teal clutch. For something a bit different, I styled my hair with two braids that end in space buns.
What do you think?

Fall is perfect for wearing rich colours and what better one to choose than red? Though, let's be honest, red is perfect for any time of the year. On this pretty yet chilly day, the best outfit is comfy yet chic. The look is simple with gold dainty details, very minimal chic.
How's your week so far? It's almost the weekend!

As we all know, culottes have been the "it" pants this year. They have gotten in our hearts and now it's hard to abandon them just because fall is here. As luck would have it, culottes make for great transitioning pieces.
Firstly because they come in different materials, which means you can find a pair that's warmer. Secondly they pair amazingly with boots. This might not be for everyone, but they look quite chic paired with a skin tight pair of booties. Depending on your mood and outside temperature, you could either choose an ankle boot, for extra trendy points opt for velvet or patent, or a longer pair so there is no skin showing.
For today I styled the latter. For extra warmth and coziness, I wore a sweater and oversized leather jacket on top. Oversized outerwear is another of this seasons trends, so feel free to steal your boyfriends clothes this season.
Do you like culottes styled with boots?

Today's pictures were taken in beautiful Como, where I decided to wear a semi elegant outfit consisting of a white dress and royal blue loafers. I know in USA there is the rule of not wearing white after Labor day, but I don't live there and fashion rules are meant to be broken anyway, right?
As you can see the dress has beautiful lace detailing from the neck to the chest and on the back, dropping in a low v. This detail makes the look a bit flirty. For even more playfulness, I added my silk neck scarf.

Like I mentioned in this outfit post, I decided it was time to include some statement shoes in my collection and these were love at first sight. As a pair, these sandals create a giant bow, looking very chic and sweet. They were surprisingly comfortable to walk in, though I have to say all my Zara heels are comfortable. Don't understand why nobody is talking about Zara shoes. My heels from them are easier to walk in than my Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, which cost a whole lot more.
If you follow any fashion blog or read fashion magazines, you would have seen the rise of the culottes. Since I'm only 165/ 5'4", I always thought culottes will make me look even shorter, which stopped me from purchasing any pair. Finally decided to give them a go and have a quick tip for anyone who has the same concern.
TIP: Before investing in a pairs or if you just want to make your palazzo pants more versatile, try pinning them shorter with safety pins. Be very careful not to hurt yourself in the process!!! If you don't feel confident doing it yourself, ask a friend or parent for help.
To complete the look, I added a white off shoulder blouse, duo-coloured clutch and of course, a choker.

I think this outfit would even be pretty for Fashion Week. What do you think?

A little late to the party, as most bloggers have already shared their back to school looks, but in case you are still in school and looking for some inspiration, this is for you. Of course be careful to respect the dress code.
The weather in Milan is still quite hot, which is why I opted for a pair of dressier shorts instead of something longer. The blouse has beautiful embroidered and ruffled details. I'm not in school/Uni anymore, but if you are, opt for a cute backpack instead of a bag. Another tip would be to keep the jewellery dainty, don't want to catch the eyes of the professors in a bad way. The perfect shoes for school are comfy ones, like slip ons, ballerinas or sneakers. Slip ons can look elegant and fun, making the outfit modern and modish.
Which is/was your go to school look?

Vests are versatile pieces that can be worn to work or for a cocktail. They make you look put-together and chic with little to no effort. A fun way of styling them is as a dress, like I did today, and here are some tips on achieving the look:
- Quite essential would be a bodycon dress layered underneath, cause we need to keep it decent.
- Add a colour blocking belt that has some details for more texture.
- When you fasten the vest, try fixing it to the side creating a slit. While walking, your leg will show and this will elongate you.
- Add some fun accessories.
- Add some ballerinas, if you're wearing this at the office, or high heels for a cocktail look.
As you can see I opted for a choker and studded belt, both offer an edgy feel to the outfit creating more dimension. For the rest of the accessories, I opted for dainty bracelets and bow ballerinas which compliment the bow belt. The look is classy, elegant but with a touch of edgy.

If you've been a loyal reader of my blog, than you know my love for this skirt is never ending. It's a colourful, midi A-line piece which I bought in Berlin about six-seven years ago. You know I donate twice a year everything that doesn't get worn and this skirt manages to always remain in my wardrobe. I have tried finding a similar one in other shades, but haven't had any success. Seeing how much I wore it and how many times it was washed, I must say the quality is impressive.
This time I paired it with ballerinas and a structured blouse with a chiffon back. To complete the look I opted for a braided hairstyle and bow detailed jewellery.
Do you have any pieces in your wardrobe that survive every closet purge?

I haven't worn a bright coloured outfit in what feels like forever. As you have seen, usually my looks are monochrome or pastel/light coloured. To be honest, I used to wear a lot of bright colours, especially as a child, as you saw in my Style Evolution post, but now they feel outside my comfort zone. This is the reason I went for this look, to push myself and try something fun.
Florals are always in for spring and summer. This kind of print is feminine and romantic. To add some sass to the look, I added this bright red top which has the flowing open sleeves. Trust me when I say the open sleeves are a lot of fun to play with. Don't believe me?! Check out my Instagram to see!
Sorry for missing yesterday's post! I will write another post tonight to make up for it.

It wasn't my intention when I styled this look to make it an all Zara one, but it happened. I don't think it surprises any of you, seeing I have confessed my love and obsession for this brand.
Anyway, as promised I'm sharing a new way of wearing the off the shoulder blouse. If you remember, the first outfit was way more elegant and feminine. With this one I wanted to add a little edge and attitude, hence the faux leather jacket and statement necklace. It's still a bit glam thanks to the heels, make-up and dainty jewellery.
I plan to share also a casual and a sporty look wearing this blouse, just to show how versatile the piece is and of course, how obsessed I am with it. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Do you have anything exciting planed?

As promised, today I'm sharing the second way of wearing the midi black dress, which should become a staple in everyones wardrobe. This would be what I call my Vogue outfit, as in I would wear this to work if I had a job there or at a fashion magazine. The outfit is smart, elegant and very chic, while still quite minimal. For accessories I opted for a statement snake ring and a bow necklace. The make-up, I kept very sweet and natural. What do you think about this second look using the black midi dress?

Hey Dolls!
You can observe from my blog that I really love monochrome looks, so it's not a big surprise that today's outfit is monochrome. I just had fun with it, combining structured pieces with edgy ones. Do you like it?

Today I'm sharing with you another summer appropriate outfit, while hoping the weather doesn't change too quickly. Don't you feel like a princess when you wear high low skirts and the wind blows? Maybe I'm just childish, but I love it and get that cute happy feeling for nothing. Hope you have a great weekend!

I wanted to share this look with you since last week, but didn't come around to. It's the last outfit from the Nautical themed week. This is the most feminine of all and more red colour centred. The dress is quite summery and flowing. How was your weekend? Hope you had fun!

I find today's outfit a little cheeky thanks to the hat. However I love the pop of colour and boldness that it gives, but also helps me hide a bad hair day. ahaha As promised, it's another nautical outfit. This one is also causal and chic, perhaps I'll try a more glamorous one next time.

Hello Dolls!
I've had this tartan blouse for a while now and because I love it to pieces, I wanted to find new ways of wearing it. Though it's a very casual outfit, it came out nicely and the colours are up my alley. I'll try to do more variations of this kind of look, but also more looks including tartan pattern.
This concept and discussion of reusing and repurposing on the blog might be familiar to you, if you've read this post. I clean out my closet regularly and donate a lot of clothes, then go shopping and repeat the cycle, which is somewhat of a vicious cycle. Then, sometimes come these moments when I think to myself that there are so many clothes in my wardrobe just waiting to be reinvented. What I'm trying to get across to you is to be more mindful when shopping. Think of all the various styles you could pull of with everything in your wardrobe instead of saying you have nothing to wear, which by the way I'm also guilty of. Hope you had a great weekend.

In the next few days I'll share with you my Parisian Adventures, to say adventures is a bit too much but you get my point. It was my first time visiting Paris and I have to say it surprised me, mostly in a good way. It has an unexpectedly breathtaking architecture and everyone was beyond lovely, but it also had a couple of downsides on which I will not dwell. It was an amazing experience and definitely on my "travels bucket list". Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll let the photographs do the talking.
