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!

Look of the Day - Saturday

Carla Vadan July 07, 2018

Definitely one of my favs for this summer, this ultra-feminine white dress is what dreams are made of: a silky fabric, a provocative slit, minimalism, the asymmetric details, all of these make it feel just right for me.

I admit: I'd wish this perfect dress was a bit longer, but I can never find a dress to actually hit the ground. So lucky those who aren't tall, as maxi dresses will actually be maxi.

Some of you probably see it as an evening dress, or a dress that might be fit for a wedding or special occasion. I don't. I love wearing elegant dresses for day, dressing them down to a casual perfection.

I opted for my white leather mules again, my vintage shell bag (I'm in love with these, can't help it!), and this perfect Zara hat that I've been hunting for weeks and weeks.

Of course you can add other accessories and make this dress an evening one, it's just not totally me. I would wear this outfit for evening, with a little chignon, a bold lip and a golden hair accessory. Still on the minimal side, this dress is too pretty to be "ruined" with unneccesary bits.

How would you wear it?

Love,

Pop Art on a Snowy Day

blogger March 20, 2018

Always wear colours when it's snowing. It makes you feel more alive and it doubles the fun.

From my experience of people-watching over the years, I have realised many of the outfits lack colour, power and fun. Especially in the winter. We do tend to camouflage ourselves in the greyness of everything that surrounds us in this urban decor, but wearing colours is always empowering, fun and cool. I love to wear colours when it's snowy when the clouds promise everything is about to be covered in a white layer of fluffy snow. It just makes me feel so alive!

I've had my eyes on this coat for some time now, and having a huge pink box delivered to me by VIP.com meant business. Those who follow me on Instagram (@carlavadan) and watch my Instastories know what I mean - my heart was flooded with happiness and gratitude when I opened the box - the coat was finally mine. I love it so because I adore Pop Art. I fell in love with it through Andy Warhol and his books which I read and reread (yes, he wrote many), which all feel like they've been written by myself, in a past life. I love the satirical, the kitsch and the optimism in Pop Art. After all, it's part of our daily life, even now, almost 70 years after its birth.

So you can imagine how I feel wearing this coat: I feel perfect. On top of its looks - it's a gorgeooous coat, it's also warm and extremely comfortable. It's made from a wool mix and yes, it's printed. Some of you thought I've painted it (yup, I do customise t-shirts or jackets) but not this time. It's a ready-made, haha.

I chose to wear it with primary colours - red, yellow and navy (just like the Romanian flag, but it's a coincidence). It just felt right. I know some of you might think wool - patent leather suede and knits might not work together but have a second look at the photos below. Surprise, it does.

The dress is also from VIP.com and it's a fine knit. I will keep it for the summer though, it would work better, with either a puffy sleeved shirt underneath, either just as it is, on bare skin. I don't have a big chest so I can play around with deep V's and I'm grateful for that. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. 😸

The bag that I'm wearing is an old Asos one, almost vintage - bought it for a pound, and the boots are Sacha London, made in Spain from real suede, they are so soft and comfy. I was lucky to find them in an outlet, as they sell for £225.

Hope you love the look and make sure to check out VIP.com to find your perfect match. I have another wonderful piece from them which I will style up in the next blog post. Stay tuned!
