Cozy sweaters and cardigans are for me the perfect pieces to transition from summer to fall, I wore this outfit for running errands in the city last Saturday and couldn’t feel more relax and comfortable.
BTW, I stopped by COS while waiting for a friend, their F/W collection already hit the store. You gotta check it out because there are so many nice pieces. ;-P

Sweater dress: Lounge Lover, necklace: Marni, scarf: Hermès, arm warmers: Falke, booties: Celine.

A black/white/red ensemble for a musical evening (COS blazer, See by Chloé shirt, DIYed necklace, Miu Miu skirt & flats). It’s Friday, happy weekend my friends! :-D

Green is my mom’s favorite color, she’s got tones of clothes in all shades of it. Unlike her, I prefer emerald green than any other green hues. So I’d like to share my love for green today.
This gorgeous 4-pockets emerald green dress is from H&M (a very well made dress with fabulous cut at shoulders. My picture doesn’t do it justice, it is more luminous and skin flattering IRL. Highly recommended, hehe. ^_*). I am pairing it with a Marni brooch, DIYed necklace and suede ballerinas from Gianna Meliani.
Have a great week everyone! :-)

Couple of days ago a friend mentioned one of my beloved old carres which holds a special place in my heart: Le Jeu des Petits Bonheurs. It is something special for me not only because I adore the design, as its name says: Play of Life’s Little Treasures, but also because it was my very first Hermès carre. ;-)
So I would like to share a carre outfit today (shirt & leather necklace: COS, shorts: Zara, shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo).

Inspired by the beautiful Gaia Repossi, I think I really should wear some beloved pieces from my wardrobe more often. This artistic skirt from Marni is one of them. I’d like to create an office outfit this time.
Pairing it with a navy silk top from COS, Hermès belt and patent degrade sandals by Gianni Meliani. BTW, the necklace is also from COS, I love the raw industrial feeling it offers. Together with the shoes, they changed the attitude of the whole outfit, making it less ladylike but more urban and fun. :-)

I so wish I could change the title of this post to something like “dress for success”, but unfortunately after 2 attempts in 1974 and 1978, the Dutch failed to collect the World Cup for the third time… Again. :-(
Many of my friends know that I started watching the World Cup games in 1994 and have been a supporter for the Italian team ever since. Thank God they won the champion in 2006, it was like a dream come true, so for me the long journey of being an Azzurri fan came to an end. This time I was hoping for an orange victory, because my best friend, who started watching the games together with me since 1994 is a big fan of the Netherlands. It could have all been so different for Van Marwijk’s oranje and it could have been such a wonderful summer for her…Sigh…
Maybe this is how life is, but never give up your hope! Happy weekend my friends (in a cheerful orange mood)!

I actually wanted to try something more ethnic with this gorgeous Carré but end up with a simple white shirt and jeans shorts. A throw on ensemble is more comfy and maybe better for a hot summer day! ;-)

We’ll fly to Paris tomorrow, so it’s time to post another travel outfit. :-)
I love the freshness of blue stripes and the tribal glamour of zebra print, putting them together with a half DIYed necklace. The bead-embellished bib was taken from an H&M tank top (the fashion against AIDS collection). The top itself is in a poor quality but the embellishment is very well made and indeed beautiful, so I bought the top and turned it into a necklace. ^_*
Have a great start to July. See you next week!

It’s been a while since my last post, I hope you are all doing fine (I’ve been busy watching the FIFA world cup games. :-))
Summer hasn’t really made its advent here in my part of world, with a temperature under 20 °C, I can still wear leather skirt and shawls. We have to make the most of the crap weather, right? hehe~~

I’d love to create some different looks with these butter creamy oxford shoes next time. Please feel free to share your ideas! ;-)
It has been very humid and muggy lately, but the good thing is, the temperature goes up too, finally! :-) It’s time for a summer outfit~~

I found the green/purple/white sandals by chance just three days after I posted the “Nature Beauty”. There was only one pair left and they are exactly my size. Pretty amazing, ah? Just like my friend said, maybe they are meant to be mine. ;-)
