Favourite Late Fall Items via NA-KD

fashion inspiration November 23, 2021

There's no secret I love NA-KD, a cool Swedish brand established back in 2015, which I only discovered last year as I was in the search for THAT perfect maxi coat.

If you love high-quality, minimalist pieces with a perfect design, which stay timeless for years to come, look no more. Now you have found them too. And what better time than now, when they have an amazing 30% OFF everything on their website, as they too are celebrating NA-KD Black Week.

What I love most about them?

Their pieces have tall girls in mind too. I've been struggling for ages to find maxi coats, proper length trousers and jeans...so I am truly delighted! They always write the true height of their models in the description of each piece of clothing so this way it's super easy to imagine how it would fit you - and yes, it's true to size.

The fabrics are simply divine, easy to care, and look fab.

As I mentioned, they have tons of timeless pieces and beautiful wardrobe staples that you can dress up or down, depending on your style.

They have lots of great offers all the time, and speedy shipping!

Unfortunately my trousers are now sold out, but here's a link to similar suit trousers on the NA-KD website: cool suit trousers

I am pretty sure you will love this brand as much as I do, and that you will find your perfectd dream pieces here. Enjoy!

3 Spring Looks To Brighten Your Week

Casual look March 23, 2021

Light, airy, serene colours...inspired by nature's rebirth.

Few years back, and actually just until I found these pretty pieces on SHEIN, the green-yellow combo was one to make me roll my eyes. A horrible mix if you ask me. But then again, it's all in the details: the shades of each colour: the serene buttermilk yellow, paired with pastel green is pure perfection.

Indeed, I love the designs too - the asymmetry of this dress, which looks like it doesn't button up properly, is super fun. Cristian, my husband, after a quick first look, asked me what's wrong with it, is it too tight around my chest? As if.

And what's with the pearls on the bag? It's the handle! A beautiful, sophisticated one. Pretty sturdy too if you ask me.

The mules are also SHEIN, and they come in a beautiful shade of merlot, a very very dark merlot, and I adore the subtlety. Despite the high heels, they are comfortable and seem to work their way seamlessly into any outfit. See the second look, where I opted for high-rise straight jeans in white, also from SHEIN, and so is the deconstructed beige top with puffy sleeves - not pictured here as I was freezing outside and forgot to reshoot when came back home. I opted for a bag I'm in love with, which comes in a beautiful shade of bluebird blue (Pantone named it this way), plus golden details.

As I froze to death shooting the second look, I had to rethink my third one so I added the shearling shacket which wasn't in the schedule. But it was so damn windy and cold! Tweed trousers, in a pink so soft and subtle it reminds me of cotton candy, and so do the beautifully blossomed trees on the street near where we live. Pastel pink plus off-white, plus warm caramel shades sound delicious, don't they? Inspired by the cakes I love, obviously. Because inspiration comes from everywhere. And inspiration doesn't mean copy/paste, that's theft and lack of personality. Haha!

Spring to Life with SHEIN

clogs March 04, 2021

I may have overreacted.

The few sunny days we had these past weeks made me think of more than spring, of summer itself! Can you imagine that?

But March is finally here, are so are open shoes, open backs...and open hearts, why not?

My little obsession with clogs was brought to life by SHEIN, once again, with their super cute, vegan-friendly clogs - they are super comfy too as the sole is not heavy wood, but a light foam, made to look exactly like wood. How smart is that?

There's then the eternal blazer, one of my favourite clothing items ever. The good old masculine blazer, which elevates any outfit. I colour-coordinated it with with the belted peg trousers in a gorgeous shade of pastel lilac, which is not super visible here due to the gloomy day we shot these in. What a paradox, no? Gloomy spring days...well, welcome to London.

Then the open back dress, which makes me feel like a character from those vintage Swedish postcards we used to get in the post back in the 90s from my mom's friend living in Stockholm. If you have no idea what I am on about, just google "vintage swedish postcards" and you'll see what I mean.

The off-white jumpsuit in the creamiest shade fo white works perfectly with the white version of the clogs and with the blazer, reminding you of...gelato, what else?

A COLOURFUL MARCH

colourful outfit March 02, 2021

Spring is and will always be about colour.
The rebirth of nature and life around us is a creative force, so inspiring that it gets under our skin, straight into our hearts and minds. Pastels are an old favourite of mine, shades so soft and gentle you could swear they came to life from your prettiest dreams.

SHEIN has some incredible spring pieces, both affordable and excellent quality - see their Premium Line for more, it's called MOTF! The pink dress, cropped blazer and mint blazer are all MOTF, while the other items below are from their newer, regular collections. The pink dress is made of 100% cotton, so are the leopard print jeans, while the other fabrics are a mix of fibres, all easy-to-care and easy to iron (I just dislike ironing so my clothes are never perfectly ironed).

I got creative and made some cool mixes in the outfits below, sadly I couldn't shoot them outside as when we had the time to shoot it was quite gloomy and very cold, and I really wanted for the clothes to be visible, not covered by a huge winter coat as it would have ruined the Spring vibes, which hopefully will be felt outdoors too, through sunnier and warmer days. I know it's England, but I keep on dreaming!
