Blue is Everything

Blue is Everything 

As many of you can tell when it comes to colours, blue is everything for me. I wear it at every chance I get to wear colour - and yes, even in autumn and winter. These pictures were taken when it was actually sunny, hence my outfit and my sunglasses, but I guess it’s never too late. I think I can still get away with this outfit, plus a big coat and minus the sunglasses. 

Talking of the outfit, I've had this denim skirt for a while now and I actually have no idea why I didn’t even wear it once. Now that denim skirts are everywhere making a huge comeback, I thought it's about that time - when I see something I like and then remember I already own it and start digging in my closet. So that's exactly what I did! 

My look is based around this little blue top I got from Miss Selfridge. I love how it’s over the shoulder, with the flowy details delicately expressing the feminine sexiness of the outfit.  On the other hand, my denim skirt is quite casual and adding these cool sunnies perfectly balanced out the outfit to make it a daytime look.  I finished it off with my new pair of strappy sandals and I love them. I hope you like the look.

Days of Rays

Days of Rays

Hello Lovelies,

I know we have officially stepped in to autumn and trust me when I say I am very much looking forward to wearing darker colours - especially berry lips.  Anyway, looking at the brighter days, one should always take the chance to wear summer clothes for as long as possible and that’s exactly what I do when I see a little glimpse of sunshine. 

These days of rays are not just for bright colours; I think wearing basics in summer are more on the comfy side. To be honest, I do usually go for bright colours for summer days, but for the transition from summer to autumn I decided to go for basics. 

Honestly, no basic department will be complete without a plain white tee and that’s the base for my outfit today. It’s pretty simple as you can literally pair anything with a plain white tee, in my opinion.  I decided go for a black pleather skirt from H&M. I love the A-line shape and anything that comes with pockets is a bonus. And for my accessories, where there is the sun, there is my Raybans. Also, I decided to add a pop-up colour by finishing off with these chunky Timberland look-a-like boots.  I hope you like the look!

Many of you (who actually read my blog) know how much of an obsession I have over the details of any outfit. My belief is that every little detail – whether it’s the texture, print, cut, type or the technique used on the fabric – creates an interesting style, silhouette or statement on any simple outfit. I hope what I am trying to say makes sense? If not here is my latest outfit from Luxemme that explains it all.

Luxemme is a forward-thinking fashion brand that combines Parisienne chic with Manchester cool, all with a luxury twist at affordable prices. The whole concept of combining Parisienne fashion and Manchester street style was interesting enough, but actually seeing it come to life in an outfit was pretty amazing. I literally jumped at the opportunity to select something to style on my blog. 

My outfit is from their Limited Edition and trust me it was pretty hard to choose – I wanted them all…! Anyway, I opted for this ‘The Delphine Eyelet’ – a white two-piece or co-ord set, as you might say. I loved how it’s made of super lightweight material but still keeps that figure flattering fit to it. Also, the lace up detail on the sides came in handy to adjust the fit. The colour, the lovely scallop and eyelet lace up details perfectly expose that elegant luxury look. 

With all the interesting details on the outfit, I thought a bold red lip was the perfect way for me to accessorise this sophisticated look. I also added a black leather bag and black lace up shoes, matching the lace up details on the top, to finish off the look. I hope you like it!

Venice-Gandola

Venice- Gandola

So I finally had the chance to upload the second part of my Venice trip. Our second day started with a very delicious breakfast at the hotel, which ended with a little too many crossiants. I guess it's acceptable because your diet can go out of window when you're on holiday. After that, a quick hop on the train for 12 minutes and we were back in sunny Venice. 

For me, visiting Venice without a gondola ride is like committing a crime - it's just not right. It’s a must do for any visit to this city of canals. Now, call me a ‘typical tourist’ but I didn’t feel like I had truly experienced Venice until I was floating down the Grand Canal in a gondola. Finally there we were on a beautiful, romantic ride down the canal, while the gondolier paddled away through the candy-hued houses and beautifully designed bridges, serenading us with tales of the surroundings. That 40 minute ride was captivating. 

After gobbling up a delicious lunch without having the time to take pictures, we stepped into a water taxi and went off to San Marco. It was pretty amazing standing surrounded by one of the most beautiful interiors and historic buildings. At the same time, it was impossible to escape the crowds of people and all the pigeons(!), but honestly some of the finest views in Venice can be seen there. We went inside the beautiful cathedral and then just sat on the steps that separate it from the water. Here you can look out over the end of the Grand Canal, towards the Salute church or over the lagoon to the island church of San Giorgio Maggiore. It was truly mesmerising. 

As for my outfit, I slipped into my new favourite dress. It was flowy, comfortable and perfect for the sun-kissed weather. The shoulder off detail on the dress delicately expresses the boho vibe and I also braided my hair and added this hand harness for my accessories to put more emphasis on the boho style. I hope you like the look!

Before I start, I just want to say my Venice Part 2 will be up soon and I have more exciting new posts on the way. :D 

When it comes to simple outfits, details are the key for me. As I was clicking away through slides of jumpers on different websites, I came across this navy one, which quickly stood out. That's right, I was totally digging the gold detailing on the jumper, and all of a sudden it was already in my basket :)

I loved how even though it's a crop jumper, the length is just the right amount for me - not too long and not too short. The fit is a little boxy and boyish, which I love by the way. 

As the jumper was the statement piece on this outfit, I built the other pieces around it, which was pretty simple. I went navy-on-navy with my Levis shorts and I didn’t think I needed any accessories as the gold detailing was doing a pretty good job. I finished off with my new lace up heels from New Look, which will be seen in many of my future looks. I hope you like it!

Venice Alleyways

Venice Alleyways

Hey there lovely people, I am back in London after the most awesome and magical time in Venice. Our flight was at 6 in the morning, so we had to leave at 3am to arrive at the airport at 4.  So yes, it was pretty exhausting for me, as I am never in a good mood when sleep deprived! We landed at Treviso airport around 9ish. Check-in at the hotel, which was in Mestre (15 mins on train from Venice), wasn't due until 3 in the afternoon - so we decided to go straight to Venice. Then, one quick stop in a café for double espresso and I was wide awake to spend my first day exploring beautiful Venice.  

One of the best ways to get to know Venice is to simply get lost down its hundreds of alleyways. I can still recall that great walk, from stalls of colourful masks to uncountable restaurants. The weather was perfect so we spent a sunny afternoon walking canal-side, admiring the candy-hued houses, shopping for beautiful handmade jewellery and discovering many pizza and pasta restaurants for lunch. The hotel was beautiful itself and had lots of little spots with water fountains and boats outside, just to relax in the sun. We ended our first day by ordering some gourmet room service. 

My outfit for day one was pretty basic and included accessories like my sunglasses and this black leather cap to cover my bare face and to help protect my face and head from the sun as well. I went for a plain white vest and black tailored shorts. I also added an oversized denim jacket, just in case it got a little chilly, and finished off the look with the only pair of shoes I took. I hope you like it!

Goodbye winter!

Goodbye winter!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. I know mine was pretty crazy and productive at the same time. My food and drink intake has dramatically increased this week though. Well, I can hardly blame it on anything other than weather when it's this good! However, I am planning to keep it in control now because I am flying to Venice next week, which I have been insanely looking forward to. I will also be taking lots of pictures in Venice so stay tuned for that.

I put together today’s outfit as a perfect ensemble to say goodbye to this dark, cold winter and welcome these bright, sunny summer days. Even though my love for the monochrome palette will never fade, I am actually very excited about adding bright colours to my wardrobe. I decided to keep my turtle neck on for one last time, add my key summer piece - this Topshop playsuit - and finish the look with my black knee high boots. For my accessories, I kept it simple with just my Michael Kors watch. I hope you like the look!
