One of my absolute favourite materials is suede. It has a gorgeous surface, it's soft against the skin and gives a special life to the garment. As suede is one of the big trends for AW there are a lot of things to choose from in the stores, both real suede and faux-suede which is a more economic alternative. Well this shirt dress is just perfect. I can wear it as a dress as I do today, or as a shirt with a pair of trousers or a skirt or as a jacket. I matched it with these gorgeous lace up kitten heels that I got on the sales on Uterqüe.
A wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a lot of denim wear, from skirts to trousers and shorts. This studded denim skirt I have had for some years and I still love it! Denim for me screams comfort for day to day use but it looks just as good for a dinner date or a night out. I just add a pair of heels and I'm ready to go. Another garment that I'm really into this season (apart from the off-shoulder garments) is the romantic blouse with flared sleeves. These kind of blouses are the perfect match with denim as well as leather as they create the perfect balance between romance and rock. As I'm a sucker for details I added this vintage buckle belt.
Even though we are in the midst of summer and the sales are going on strong I can't wait for the new season to start. For AW15 there are several key trends that should be mentioned and I wanted to start with velvet. This gorgeous, lively material with it's shiny and soft surface is a must for the season that comes. In suits, flares, dresses and capes but also in accessories such as shoes and bags all in rich colours. I myself have my eyes set on a pair of Louis Vuitton trousers with zipper detail in front and I can only wish for that the big chains will come up with something similar more fitted for my budget :)
So what are your thoughts about velvet - are you fans of it just like me or do you have a more sceptical approach to this material? Would love to hear your thoughts! Well fan or no fan here are my favourites from the AW catwalk. Hope you like it :)
Även om vi är i mitten utav sommaren och rean pågår så kan jag inte vänta tills den nya säsongen startar. Till hösten 2015 är det flera stora trender som bör nämnas och jag vill börja med sammet. Det här vackra, livfulla materialet med dess glansiga och mjuka yta är ett måste för säsongen som kommer. I kostymer, utsvängda byxor och cape's men även i accessoarer såsom väskor och skor. Själv så har jag spanat in ett par sammets byxor med dragkedje detalj framtill från Louis Vuitton och jag håller tummarna att någon utav de stora kedjorna kommer ha något liknande i deras kollektion som är mer passande för min plånbok. Så vad är era tankar om sammet - tycker ni om det lika mycket som mig eller är ni mer skeptiska till det här materialet? Jag vill gärna höra era tankar! Här är i alla fall mina favoriter from modevisningarna från hösten. Hoppas ni tycker om det :)
Yesterday we had a barbecue at my friends terrace. I love barbecuing and being able to eat outside is so nice. For now we only have a balcony but hopefully some day in the future we will have one to :)
The heat is incredible at the moment and all I want to do is lie in a pool or sit in an air conditioned room. In this weather it's really difficult to know what to wear because no matter what you put on (except maybe a bikini) you feel warm. Yesterday's look is all about sporty elements mixing in this asymmetric skirt to make it look more casual chic. Comfortable, easy going and perfect for a day of running from one place to another.
See you soon :)
Igår hade ve en barbecue hos min kompis terass. Jag älskar att grilla och äta utomhus. För tillfället har vi bara en balkong men förhoppningsvis i framtiden så kommer vi ha en med :) Värmen är outhärdlig för tillfället och allt jag vill göra är att ligga i en pool eller sitta still i ett luftkonditionerat rum. När det är så här varmt så är det omöjligt att veta vad man ska ha på sig för det spelar ingen roll vad (förutom bikini kanska) man drar fram så känner man sig varm. Igår så bestod min look utav många sportiga element och jag bestämde mig att mixa dem med den här asymmetriska kjolen för en mer casual chic look. Bekvämt, enkelt och perfekt för en dag då man springer fram och tillbaka. Syns snart :)
Last season was all about the button-up shirt. For Spring the buttons have moved there way down, taking over the skirts in all lengths. Don't be afraid to play with this detail, opening up to show some legs or let them stay closed for a more sophisticated look. Anyhow this is a piece I'm going to invest in.
I used to be a big vintage shopper visiting second hand stores at least once a week on the look out for that special and unique garment that I would be alone of owning. Well since I moved to Barcelona I have been bad at visiting these kind of stores, mainly because I don't think there is a lot to visit and the prices are much higher than I'm used to. What I frequently visit is the vintage market Lost & found, but unfortunately is only once every three months. This Sunday it's time again and this time it will be in the renovated market Encants and there is were I will be spending my Sunday :) Today's look consist of some of my favourite vintage finds. The boots I bought on Portobello Market in London and I have had them for more than five years and the sweater is from a vintage store in Gothenburg. When I see these garments it really makes me want to take up my vintage hunting again...and maybe I will :)
Almost weekend :) This week has been amazing, the spring has been in the air and the sun shining! There has been no need for coats and I have been taken my lighter garments out for a spin. The suede jacket I'm wearing is one of my favourites. It's from last year but I'm just not getting tired of it. Long gorgeous and playful fringes and super soft, just perfect!
Happy Friday!
