The in-between jacket
If there is one fashion quest to be pointed out in my life, it’s finding the perfect leather jacket. Why? It serves the multiple purposes a jacket should provide. It keeps you warm, it is weather resistant, it lasts for many years, it goes with all your clothes (actually, it makes even your dullest clothes look just a tad cooler), and it never goes out of style – no matter what type of leather jacket (cause there is different kinds, like the biker, the 80′s, the geometrical, the zipper-and metal-full, the zipper-andmetal-less etc.).
Colorful!
Summer is here now, and all of the sun’s shades as well. This is something that’s really true this year, yellow is hot and orange as well. And any other shade in between! I see these colors everywhere nowadays, sometimes as an accent color and sometimes as a whole garment. This is something I really like as we so often dress in black.
I’m one of those who would love to get dressed in yellow, but I really think that color is really out of my league, I can’t wear it. And me who really wants a maxi dress in yellow. So when I found this dress at my ONLY store, I was really happy, it’s not yellow but it’s a color of the sun, and not only can I wear it, it’s really my style as well. It’s amazing as it is, alone. And with a few details, it can be a really hot party dress as well as a dress for everyday wear. I love the fact that the cut is a bit twisted, and this is how I prefer to style it to get that everyday chic, making it wearable straight from work to the party! (more…)
White is the new black
The fashion rule is broken! White is the new black!
White was dominating the spring/summer catwalks. Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein and Derek Lam are just a few of the designers leading the look. We see a lot of summery white with plenty of linen, eyelet, lace and macrame.
And now white is also in every shop’s display and on the rack and I must say that I love it! That’s why, for this look, I have chosen a white lace dress from ONLY. I love it a lot and I think it is perfect for summer!
And are you a bit scared of wearing all white? Pop it off with some brights to make your look extra trendy, wear it together with neutral tones (nude will do great) and layer different textures to add dimension to your outfit.
It seems that the dark days are over, welcome bright and sunny white!
Make a change
Sometimes you find pieces you really love, if only they were a little bit different. So did I when I found this white dress at an ONLY store. Or it used to be a dress. I loved it, but there was something about it that wasn’t perfect if you ask me. But I bought it anyway since I knew exactly what to do with it. I cut it a little bit shorter, to make a tunic of it instead. And now it’s really what I was looking for.
It’s really often like that, you find something that’s almost perfect and when you do, you leave it. I know I do all the time. Thinking, perhaps I should buy it and make some changes. But it’s seldom I do, most of the time I don’t have the time or don’t know what to do with it. But I should buy those pieces more often, or everyone should, and remake them until they are perfect. It makes things more personal and a bit different, and I like that. It’s so much more fun than when everyone looks the same! (more…)
