This is 'leather jacket'

London-esque Look and The Striped Maxi Dress

No, this is not London,…but it’s an equally cool place in Vienna called the Hundertwasser-Haus and it had this red phone booth outside which looks so like London! I am wearing my striped aka. “convict” dress from H&M :)) a leather jacket from Zara which I also wear on top of my Mango maxi dress

The Maxi Dress

Took a nice walk yesterday around the green parts of my city and snapped a few pictures. I really like how when you are close to parks and nature, everything seems more optimistic and alive. I think we should always keep in mind that a short escape in the nature can do miracles for our mood and state of mind.

I am wearing my favorite maxi dress by Mango. I’ve bought this last year when somehow I found clothes at Mango more affordable. This year they have really positioned the products much higher than a fast fashion brand. Anyway, the flats are Zara and so is my cropped leather vest. …oh and I almost forgot about my addiction, the Prada sunglasses.

How to style the Military heel boots?

I really love this shoe style and I think it is so versatile and easy to wear both for casual looks but also it can be dressed up for evening outfits…not to mention that they are very sexy.There are lots of inspirational photos and and street style that you can find to help you get inspired, these are only a few of them that I like and I also made a small obsession over the infamous McQueen shoe.

Most of the outfits that appealed to me are clean and powerful, but the military trend is also suitable as you can work these boots with a khaki cargo pair of pants, an aviator leather jacket or a military coat.

I think that the ASOS ALI Leather Closed Toe Boots are a very cool version for the military boots. They are more of a cold weather piece and I like the fact that they are quite simple. The only thing that pops out is the silver metallic zipper which is pretty much a versatile piece of hardware that can easily match your accessories.

The first look is the most simple. Skinny jeans and tank top and a sweater. Cardigans are also great, you can go for cropped shorter versions or looser longer ones as well, but I really think that the success of this outfit lies in the layering and the way the pieces are put together. Don’t forget some necklaces and a great coat, “the leather the best” :)))

Another outfit that I imagine is one with jeans shorts. Because it is colder now you can wear a pair of black opaque tights underneath and a trench coat. Anyway, I would love to wear this when it’s warmer, I really think this outfit will turn heads :))

The next look is the one I love the most. Black leather pants and military boots, fabulous! Now all you have to do is to soften the look with a silky tunic dress and maybe a blazer. I really love the entire “Lolita” approach and how you can build a nice look even though it has some inappropriate pieces. Oh and the Black and White, always a winner… :)

I would also incorporate them into an evening look as I think they are so hot! A short dress, any type of bodycon dress is perfect! Just get a leather jacket and you’re off to party. Because they are part casual - part dressy, your look will never be too much, even if you choose a sexy dress. Now is the time to find some great accessories and you can also be creative and layer more pieces of jewelry.

Kate Moss Stunning Outfit at TopShop Opening

If you were like me you were just dying for this event to happen. Even though fans were kicking and screaming and lines of people went around and around the corner, you shouldn’t have missed this. Lovely Kate Moss appeared in a flowing sheer green maxi dress (that was absolutely smashing BTW) and just put on a simple motorcycle leather jacket. So cool!

The black leggings were supporting the jacket as black always goes with black. :) I don’t know if it would be appropriate to wear this kind of leather jacket on a formal attire but if you want to blow everyone’s minds, you can sure try. In fact, I never tried this before either but now I have the courage to do it. The next wedding I go to will be my scene!

BTW: How do you find the prices for the US Collection ? I’ve heard there are some differences…

Make Your Outfits Fun This Spring

 

You can start taking advantage of  the spring weather and adjust your wardrobe with fun and playful items. Age isn’t a reason not to enjoy the Hottest Items Of The Season or to step out in a shinny new pair of ballet flats. The navy bag  is already poised to become a really important part of our wardrobes and you can easily pair it with the Nautical Trend that keeps coming back every spring and summer.  Mini Skirts are really hot this season too and even if you hadn’t considered a high-waisted option yet, I think you’ll change your mind this season. I was reluctant to try this trend myself but I love this beige ruffled mini skirt from 3.1 Phillip Lim . Bold colors can also work for this outfit, however nudes and pastels can never go wrong :) 

The graphic tee and the silly cute ballet flats are the fun part of this outfit. I’ve found this website TopMax, that has some amazing Tees and dresses. This one is actually a dress but I’m sure that you can squeeze another graphic tee into your skirt to get the right high waisted look.  The Miss Marc Ballerinas are extremely eye catchy and they look so comfortable and unique. I think they really have that french style and can easily style up any outfit.

So, you shouldn’t worry too much about the accessories. and just go with something simple and casual. I loved this small bottle pendant from DAY Birger et Mikkelsen’s because it reminds me of that movie “Message In A Bottle”… quite a story wasn’t it?

You can wear a short leather jacket or something similar to finish your look. Remember, short is the new lenght for jackets this season :) and there are so many options in the shops out there, this one for example is from H&M.

Flared Jeans Outfits For Spring 2009

I already pointed out the main Jean Trends for 2009 , but we seem to have a new addition :)

I know you all loved the flared jeans when they were cool back in the ’90s, I know I did…Or was I lame?!

Anyway…times have changed and even though nowadays we are mostly breathing  the skinny jeans trend, we cannot help noticing how flattering the flared jeans look. Stars are digging the look too and more and more pictures pop out overnight with flared jeans on Victoria Beckham,Heidi Klum or other celeb trendsetters.

However, the flared jeans have a big problem when compared to skinny jeans : They don’t look good with flats, no matter what ! Heels are a must when styling a pair of flared jeans and you should also consider wearing them dark and with skinny tops in order to keep the proportions of your figure.

I. Casual Chic Flared Jeans Outfit

Tunics are a hitlist item this season and they’re perfect with flared and skinny jeans. Try to get a sheer one or a silk tunic for the ultimate look.  The belt gives an hourglass shape to your figure and don’t forget the heels. Style the outfit with a cool biker jacket, vintage jewelry and a neon bag and you can wear it when around town or when you’re out with your friends. So chic!

II. Wear To Office Flared Jeans Outfit

The sheer tops will be really hot this spring beacuse it is versatile and can be worn after office too and still look fresh and sexy. Try a darker pair of jeans to keep the outfit more formal and neutral while at the office. You can choose booties or platform shoes to pair with the flare jeans but be careful of the lenght of the jeans. Flared jeans can be hard to fit with the shoes so it is recommended to adjust their lenght while wearing the heeled shoes.

Pink Outfit with Sninny Leggings for this Valentine’s

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.comFabulous 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 !
