A few weeks ago, while in search of inspiration, trends and meaningful examples to share, I ran into this surprising blog. It seemed to have a common approach to post photos of outfits worn on different days, with some links towards the brand websites.

However, while scrolling down something weird just happened to me. Curiosity stroke me and made me discover more and to wait for a new outfit every day. It happens that this “Katie” is not as the usual Katies out there, it actually happens that she is truly a fashionista! I don’t really know if this is a personal blog or something more, but I guaranty that this website will amaze you : What Katie Wore.

Katie is this sweet young girl who “looks good in anything” (this is from one of the posts but I have to admit it’s rather true ! ). No matter how eccentric  her clothes may look, she manages to pull off these incredibly colorful and powerful outfits. As I said in some articles before, we can learn a lot just by watching people with great style. It is actually quite instructive to see how Katie wears neon colored thighs, oversized jewelry or short spring jackets.

There are also tons of other fantastic examples of how to combine fashion forward pricey pieces (Chanel, United Nude, Escada or Bulgari) with urban cheap options (Topshop, Accessorize, Urban or H&M). I even discovered brands I didn’t even know existed so I’m really thankful for that :)

Another things that I love are the unique accessories. Some of them are modern plastic-made, others are vintage (for example she wears this cool unique necklace made from different old watches). Oh, and I totally became a fan of the checkered thighs ! Apparently Katie has dozens of them as well as many casual chic vests or ankle booties.

You can also get an idea of how to wear the shirt dress trend or the harem pants. I love this blog, you can check it out clicking the link above or on my blogroll. I think it’s worth reading from time to time and just getting inspired.

I found this blog that actually makes and sells these fun Eco-booties. They’re made from recycled materials which are not also friendly with the environment but also quite chic and stylish.

They’re even cheap too , you can have them for about $45 and you can choose from a large variety of patterns all full of whimsy and charm.The idea was started by an industrial design student.

I actually like them, they’re fun and light and impermeable and they add something extra to any outfit, a sort of real-life style .

More booties available on the designer’s website : Botas Dacca.

Oh yes, the day to laugh about our passionate madness has come!  The day when all fashionistas will seem rather innocent compared to one big spender :)).

Sophie Kinsella’s book “Confessions of a Shopaholic” will hit the cinemas soon and hopefully it will be a big hit because there are more books and possible sequels to the story. I’ve read the story and laughed a great deal! I fell in love with Rebecca Bloomwood - played by Isla Fisher in the movie - the moment she hid her bank letters into some drawers like they never existed.

The style of the character is “mix and match”, let’s not forget that she  is a sales-hunter and an impulsive shopper, that’s why, Rebecca Blomwood’s sense on style is excentric and somehow extreme.

Isla Fisher wears lots of neons and bright bold colors and apparently all together!  The cinched waist trend is a big hit in the movie together with leather gloves, plaid patterns, fucshia shoes and short furs, as Kinsella’s character is the ultimate trendsetter.

1. Brown Multi Strap Belt - Top Shop 2. Full Cotton Mini Skirt - Top Shop 3. Short Great American Trench - Coach 4. Holdall by Billy Bag - Simply Soles 5.  Jewel Waist Belt - Select Fashion 6. Belted Patent Pumps - Charlotte Russe 7. New Valentine’s Day scarf print Wristlet - Coach 8. Mae West Gloves - Modcloth.com 10. Suede Grey Low boots, Brian Atwood - Collete.fr

I particularly loved this badge that says I kissed a vampire and I liked it, mostly because I love Katy Perry’s song and Twilight so these 2 combined are still cool :)) This outfit is all about making the most of this Valentine’s! Even if you’re single, it doesn’t matter! Just get dressed and get in love. I’ll help you with half of this. :)

The top - Solid washed favorite tank, JCrew. There are lots of tanks out there but if you want to pull a sexy look you should go for a simple bold color tank or even a black sexy one. Remember, less is more and you don’t want to overdress this ruffled skirt.

The boots - High Ankle Boot, TopShop - Everyone must onw some ankle boots by now so it’s easy to find ones. This sexy skirt also looks amazing with sexy peep-toes or some sandals, but you should keep in mind that it’s still early spring.

The leggings - Glossy Open Heel & Toe Leggings, Forever21 - Always feared of wearing shinny leggings, thought they’d look ridiculous on me, but when finally tried them on, they instantly became my favourite leg-wear. They are perfect for the evening, they make you look skinny and sexy and they go well with ankle boots.

The lingerie - Pink flock spot set, Debenhams. Sexy lingerie should be a must even if it’s not Valentine’s Day.

Makeup - Juicy Gloss, Coach . If you plan on kissing much you should replace lip makeup with heavy eyemakeup and keep you lips nude. It’s much sexier and clean. :))

Accessories - Kenneth Jay Lane Silver Star Pendant, My-Wardrobe.com,  Fabulous Flower Clutch, Boden. Try to wear something special, maybe a gift from your boyfriend or some other lucky charm. It will make you more confident and more attached to this night.

Vintage - skirt and leather jacket.The leather jacket is an essential item this spring, that’s why I can’t stop recommending this :). Try a high waist ruffled skirt or a black sequin skirt if you’re going to a club or some drinks in a bar. You can never go wrong !

1. Crazy hat - hot color of the season (left) or vintage Hollywood (right). You can wear a hat with a casual outfit too, like jeans and a graphic tee.

2. Ankle boots - Grey tones vs Robin Hood inspired.

3. Classic Coat -  The blazer look is easy to pull off because you can wear it unbuttoned and so it will mix with the rest of the clothes. Go for a longer blazer this season with one button.

4. The accessories - Opaque Thighs, Scarf, Black Leather Gloves and Statement Jewelry are the right way of looking chic.

5. The leather bag - big clutch or big tote …you choose!

I know you all have these things in your wardrobes, what are you waiting for?  :)

Hey girls!

Let’s say that you are at the point when you should meet your boyfriend’s parents. It’s stressful enough that you have to worry about all sorts of things like what to talk about and if they would like you, so I thought of giving you a few guidelines of how you should dress.

1.First of all, consider simplicity and charisma as your 2 best friends :) I know it has nothing to do with clothes so far but they should be the main starting tips.

2. You want to look fresh and well-dressed but not too glittering or eccentric. Don’t just forget about your style, but take it to a next level, a more serious one.

3. You need to give the impression that you’ve got good taste when choosing things so focus on accessories and try to let them tell a story about you (eg. some jewelry that was in your family for a long time or some special pins - they don’t need to be expensive but unique)

4. You should wear heels. I think you would stand straight and heels also make you make confident and aware of your qualities! I mean it!! It’s tested!

5. Don’t smile too much, don’t talk too much, try to say the right words. Answer questions or ask discreet questions if you want to know more information. Things should be relaxed, try to make them feel comfortable around you. Beauty products are essential here. Wear a classic perfume and natural makeup. Nobody likes to meet a faux-looking girl.

6. Don’t show too much skin. If you choose to wear a dress or a skirt, you shouldn’t choose a top with a big cleavage. Actually don’t choose to show a lot of cleavage whatsoever. Choose something with a classic cut.

7. Occasion is essential!!! Adapt your outfit for the time of day and location of the meeting.

There is the casual get-together where you would go out to lunch or for some drinks. Here you should try to wear comfortable and casual-chic clothes, improvise a bohemian look with a scarf or some hair accessories or try a nice look with some ankle boots and jeans.

1.  Handbag - try something large and suitable for day, this one is Chloe available on BBS 2. Cool Casual ankle boots - these ones are from patent leather Charles David Mingle 3 A nice special top. You can find a wide range of decent unique tops on Forever21 or Oli 4. Skinny jeans - black or something conservative, no pockets, no boot-waist, remember keep skin off limits :D 5. Choose a coat with attitude, go for plaids or something with a good fit and nice buttons.

The Formal Outfit is definitely a more difficult one. Here all the details count and you should be careful not to forget something.

The dress - You can choose a little black dress, or a more special dress. However, for evening-wear black remains a classic. The shoes - Select matching accessories and go for a beautiful pair of stilettos made from a silky fabric, these ones have a velvet bow.  Try to focus on quality of the pumps rather than on the price. The purse - should be a small clutch with a shinny look or embellished stones for an extra glam touch. The accessories  need to be discreet and matched with the attitude of the entire outfit. Choose vintage pearls or a pendant necklace.

Remember, parents have a big word on the way your relationship will grow, so you have to make a good impression. For more tips get informed here and here.

Kisses!
