Carla Vadan: Velvet skirt

Weekend Mood - ON

casual November 24, 2017

Sometimes you visit a shopping platform, find many things you love and you realise they are so different from one another, but still work perfectly together. That's what happened the last time I visited METISU: a long wool blend coat in a perfect Glen Plaid, a white turtle neck jumper with embroidered details (which remind me of my friend Larisa - and all the caricatures of each other we used to draw back in high school) and a burgundy button-up skirt in luscious velvet. I knew how nice they would work together from the moment I first saw them: wether for work, breakfast with your bff or running errands in style, this outfit means business. Everything is soft, warm and comfortable. And above all, pretty. And feminine. And quite classy, what more do you need?

I accessorised the look with this mini bucket bag from RoseGal which is a statement bag and works with a wide range of colours, textures, fabrics. As a reminder, make sure to check them out and all their Black Friday deals. My favourite section? Check out the bags and accessories, there are many hidden gems at more than affordable prices.

I'm wearing a big black bow in my hair, but sorry you can'r really see it. We were fighting with the wind during this shoot and it seems like the wind won. Maybe next time, haha. Socks and sling-backs is new to me, but I had this idea and decided to go ahead with it. I honestly love the result, it's a bold and fun way to wear your favourite summery shoes through the winter (I'm talking about the London winter, I wouldn't advise my dear Romanian friends - or those who live in the countries with real winters, to start an adventure in the snow with kitten heels, it would look more than stupid). So that's it for today, I decided to just talk about style today as my mind is racing and I have so many things to do, so a little break from everything is nice every once in a while.

P.S.: No, I didn't go to the church on this day, we simply chose the location because it was nice and quiet and I love its architectural details.

That's How October Feels Like

autumn fashion October 23, 2017

I can't believe that time passes so quickly - it feels like yesterday I was planning my summer holiday and tomorrow is Christmas, you know the feeling? But the end of October and beginning of November they both have a special feeling to them - now that I'm not going to school anymore, haha - they have a peaceful, chill and magical vibe around'em.

It's that time of the year when we start wearing knits again, when we fall in love with hot apple pie, cinnamon, oranges and delicious hot drinks again (hello, mulled wine 🍷), when velvet and wool become our best friends, when animal print looks sophisticated again, jacquard feels magic and we start making plans for the end of the year. For me, it's a time when I love reading even more, start creating Christmas cards (it takes a while to make the illustrations by hand), enjoy layering and love going out for long walks and admiring the perfect colours that Fall brought us.

It's a time when anything is possible, the sunsets paint the sky with a warm gold tone, and the rain and the wind just seem the perfect pretext to stay in and enjoy a good book or Netflix. For today's outfit, I chose a long velvet skirt in the most amazing shade of burnt orange with an interesting lace-up detail, a warm sweater with bell sleeves, jacquard sock boots...another snake-print bag (told you it's time for some animal print), my fav wool cap and a lovely moon necklace (3 in 1). Wearing feminine outfits is fun, as long as you don't do trashy - just keep that in mind. 💗
