Just like flowers bloom every spring, you can choose to have hope in your heart. This too shall pass and everything will be better again. It's hard to see now, because of how scary it is, but it will get better. Don't give up hope!
"Spring is a beautiful reminder of how beautiful change can truly be"
You can choose to see the brighter side even in darker times. Talk to your family and friends, ask for help. You don't have to keep it all in, reach out to someone. Stay safe babes!

As someone finding themselves in self-isolation during these scary times, I can't help but dream of spring and last year when I was able to roam around care free, taking pictures in my favorite places. In the spirit of dreaming of spring and better times (which we'll find ourselves in again very soon, hopefully), I'm sharing this effortless look from my looks archive. Stay safe babes!

The Kew gardens or the Royal botanic gardens are located near London and expand on more than 130 hectares. Are you impressed yet or should I go on? It's London's largest UNESCO world heritage site and is the perfect getaway place, not to mention the iconic Palm House is an Instagram heaven. Did you know it functions also as a research center that maintains the largest plant collection in the world? It's truly breathtaking to see and an amazing destination to connect with nature while escaping hectic London for the day.
Side note, let's talk about shoes for a second and specifically sling-backs - when mid heel sling-backs first came out I wasn't really a fan. The heel just looked low and unflattering for some reason. With time they warmed up on me and I started appreciating their beauty. As more models came out catering for more styles, I fell in love and honestly now their one of my favorite shoes. They're comfortable, yet give you some height and are actually incredibly flattering. Funny how we things grow on us with time. Are you a fan?

We've noticed in both the Paris and New York Fashion Week round-up that the asymmetrical trend is here to stay and play. It almost felt as if it would replace the off shoulder trend, which has been delighting us these past few years. To be honest both trends are amazing and look flattering on everyone, so in my eyes one does not exclude the other. Even if the off shoulder trend stops being all the craze, I would still style the off shoulder pieces in my wardrobe.
This fab dress incorporates not only the asymmetrical trend, but also has ruffles, which only contributes to the sweet and feminine feel of the dress. I adore cute pieces, but today I wanted more character and more of a "fierce punch" to my look, so I styled the dress with fishnet tights and heeled combat boots. The contrast between the dress and fishnet tights creates a lovely effect and I adore the edgy vibe fishnet tights can give to an otherwise sweet outfit.
This dress was a gift from Cari's Closet, Ireland based shop. I mean, it has my name, of course I had to check it out! Have a look if you're curious.
What do you think about this look?

I've been living in Milan for almost a year and never visited the San Lorenzo columns, though without realizing, I've been within a few meters more than once. That needed to change and today we're enjoying this charming ancient location. The Roman columns are quite a sight, one that transport you back in time and as you can see, they make for the perfect backdrop.
My outfit combines stripes on stripes. Mixing patterns is fun and makes a statement, however it can be scary or challenging to know where to start. The safer option would be styling stripes with well, stripes. In my case I incorporated vertical lines on both the top and bottom part. Fun fact, they create the illusion of slenderness. The bell sleeves offer a feminine touch, while the sneakers add comfort.
What's your favorite print mix?

Shaming and judging people is never ok. Sometimes words aren't even needed, you look at them with disgust thinking God knows what. Maybe you think they won't notice or that you have a pokerface so they couldn't possibly see through. Sometimes you're on the street with friends, so you giggle and point or talk about someone's choices to each other. Well, that person can probably see through or hear you. Would you like it if that happened to you?
Realistically speaking, you'll never wear an outfit that everyone loves and that's ok. With time I've learned to appreciate looks for what they are, even if they don't reflect my own style. We are all different! Fashion is meant to be fun! So, instead of fashion shaming someone, try to appreciate the effort they put in, try to value the outfit for what it is and respect everyone's preferences.
I wore this little number and as you can probably guess it got me a lot of looks and whispers. Did I care? No, because it's a fun outfit. This striped romper has off shoulder details and a cape/train, so I'm basically a superhero. ahaha Ok, maybe not, but it puts a smile on my face. The fishnet tights and boots give an edgy vibe, which I love.
Do you know what's the best thing to do when people are trying to fashion shame you? Honey, hold your head up higher and strut right by them. You do you!
Curious, I even asked my boyfriend if he was ashamed, since some people were starring. Of course he wasn't and he didn't care. If your boyfriend is embarrassed or fashion shames you, you should have a serious talk. Your significant other should always support you!
Don't let strangers take away your happiness!

Happy 1st of May Dolls!
If you've been following my Insta Stories, you'll know that I've been in Madrid over the weekend. It was my first time visiting the beautiful city and I was really impressed.
For the first day I styled a light spring outfit, light in color and fabrics. The main theme were stripes, which are visible on the pants, but you can also see them peeking through from the top. It might have been sunny, but it wasn't particularly warm, so I added this nude sweater. The ruffled details of the sweater give a feminine and romantic vibe to the outfit. We explored the city, so comfy shoes were a must, thus I opted for my trusty sneakers. I'm proud to report we walked 14km a day!
Over the next week I'm going to share more posts from Madrid, so make sure to come back!
How was your weekend?

This past weekend I've been traveling to different cities in Tuscany and one of them was San Gimignano. The small town has kept the medieval architecture making it a magical place to visit. It's fascinating to stroll and see it in all its glory.
For my outfit I chose an elegant dress styled in a bohemian-edgy way, paired with a wool floppy hat, leather jacket and boots. The idea behind was to make it fun to wear during the daytime. Of course that got me a few odd stares, but it's too pretty not to style during daytime. You might have seen this SheIn dress in my last haul. It has ruffly details and velvet dots, not to mention the fun flowing skirt.
After walking through the whole town and buying all the cheese, I had the amazing idea to visit the torture museum. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen the stories shameless plug. It was unsettling to say the least, but also interesting to see.
Would you wear this look?

Layering is the absolute best, don't you think? It's still freezing cold outside, so still hard to be fashionable. At least I find it quite hard to come up with fun outfits during the winter time, I just want to bundle up in my blanket and never leave the bed. That might be a bit extreme, but you get the point.
For today, I layered a bandage crop top over a shirt dress. The vibe of the whole look is feminine, but edgy thanks to the leather details, which is how I like it. Of course, when trying a similar style in the winter time, you need to layer leather pants underneath the dress to keep you warm. If you don't like leather pants, go for leggings or really thick stockings.
To be honest, when envisioning this look I had a few concerns about the end result, but it turned out quite chic. The bell sleeves add a trendy layer, seeing how this year is all about the statement sleeve.
What are your thoughts on layering crop tops over blouses?

This is going to be a very realistic winter look, which contains layers and is quite minimal, you could say it's my winter uniform, though the shoes change if it gets even colder. I would love to live in a country that's always warm, well I think I would. If that would be the case, I would probably miss the sweater weather and snow.
The way to make your winter outfits less boring, especially if you like wearing all black like I do, is to mix textures and play with lengths. As you can see I've mixed faux leather pants with metallic shoes and a ribbed blouse. The cardigan is asymmetric and the blouse has a swing form. All of these details combined make the look charming. After all, it's all in the details.
What do you actually wear in the cold weather?

The colder months are made for snuggly and fluffy outfits, at least in my opinion, which is why my latest looks have been just that. This one is no exception. Today's look features a hoodie dress and pom pom wool hat. Underneath the dress I actually wore a long sleeved blouse and faux leather leggings to keep me warm. Of course, the final touch are the over the knee boots.
The important lessons to take from this post are that you can look chic in cozy outfits and to always layer in order to keep warm. I'm one of those persons who would suffer in the cold for a cute style, well I would complain quite a bit, but would still do it. However, getting sick afterwards isn't cute nor fun, so just take some extra minutes when planing an outfit to think how you can layer something warm underneath or over it.

It's been way too long since my last video, more than I would have liked, but today I'm back with a fall look. Still keeping up with the oversized theme that we started Sunday. As always you can enjoy this one in both video format and pictures. Please do subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos and tell me what you think about this one.

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!

Slip dresses have made a strong comeback, but it took me a while to get on board. Not only because of the sleepwear feel, but also because slip dresses aren't very forgiving. What do I mean by that? Well, they will embrace your body and show everything, good or bad. For example, a skater dress hides the belly and chinches the waist or a dress with ruffles on the top part creates the optical illusion of a larger chest area and the list goes on.
However, when I first tried a slip dress, something shifted in my perspective, I felt confident and loved how it flowed and "hugged" my body. Yes, it shows me as I am, but why would that be bad?! It's not like usually I'm hiding my body. In the future I'll try different styles with the slip dress.
Slip dresses are delicate and elegant, so to add an edgy touch, I paired it with a leather jacket, boots and choker. I layered a delicate necklace with the choker, creating more contrast between the feminine and edgy elements.
What do you think about slip dresses? Have you tried one?

Fashion Month has officially started, as you all probably know. In New York first, will be followed by London, Milan and Paris. It will be my first time in Milan during Fashion Week and while I don't have event invites, sadly, I look forward to attending events open to the public.
To celebrate the start of fashion month, I decided to create a playful slightly edgy look. Most of the playfulness comes from the hairstyle, which is meant to look like Minnie ears. Quite fun to wear and it surely got a lot of looks. The back of the crop top offers a kittenish vibe, while the skirt gives a feminine effect. The edgy details are in form of a choker and boots. All of the details help create a complex outfit, even with the minimal appearance.

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.

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.
What do you think?

After styling this jumpsuit on vacation, I've been thinking how to give it a different vibe. The jumpsuit has both horizontal and vertical stripes, off shoulder sleeves, but also slits. To compliment it I went for my Prada bow ballerinas, a delicate choker and round "Ozzy" style sunglasses.
As you've seen, I've been obsessed with chokers and this is one of the newest addition to my small collection. Chokers have appeared since 1798 and have been worn since then by ballerinas, royals and fashionable ladies. They had a huge moment in the 90's and now they're back, being all over the runways and street-style scene.

Yay for internet, finally! You really don't realise how dependent we are on internet until you remain without it for a few weeks. Except the lack of networking, it wasn't too bad. Went outside more, ahahah, but that could also be because I love strolling and exploring the cities I live in. Now, to the outfit:
Today is all about that pop of red we all love, in this case both on my lips and shorts. Red is such a sexy and flirty colour, which I often like to wear, especially on my lips. It's just a "girlboss" colour, that looks good all the time. I'm not the kind of woman to wear bold lipstick only at night, as I'm sure you saw by now on the blog. If I like it, I'll wear it to work, to the market or anywhere I need to be. It's all about the attitude, so if you feel empowered wearing a bold lipstick, be it red, purple, blue or black, it doesn't really matter what others think on the street, now does it?!
This time I paired the red shorts with a structured blouse, which is cropped and loose. It has black floral appliqués on the collar and a black stripe down the middle. Though very minimalist in design, the blouse has beautiful details, which is why I plan to style it more in the future. To go with the black and white theme, I added my zebra loafers. Of course, you don't have to match your bag with shoes and with your blouse, it's just that sometimes it's fun to be matchy matchy.
Do you like being matchy matchy at times?

Today we're talking about work attire. It's not always easy to look cute and still be work appropriate, while still getting the most out of your clothes, so why not combine some pieces together? This grey dress has a minimal design and a midi length, but a lower back which might not make it work in all offices. To make it look more professional, I added a structured cold shoulder blouse underneath. Of course this attire is fine if you work in a creative environment, where you don't have a strict dress code.
Fashion is a creative outlet and I just wanted to be resourceful with my clothing, experimenting with pieces that are already in my closet, which by the way I recommend everyone try. The structured blouse styles up the sporty dress and the statement shoes make the whole look less basic.
Would you wear this to work?
Have a pink-tastic day!
