Another one from #LFW

(Top designed by me, H&M Trend trousers, Birkenstock sandals, Acne Studios bag, Triwa watch and Karen Walker sunglasses)

Another one of my outfits that I wore during my stay in London last week. I designed this top myself and am absolutely thrilled about the fit of it as well as the colour. It was a very warm day and so I once again opted for Birks and my favourite pair of loose fit trousers. Also, I recently had a haircut. I really just wanted one that would make it even less necessary for me to brush or blowdry my hair and so voilà.

Silk shirt dress

September has been glorious so far. It's still warm enough to run around in Birkenstocks but the sun is setting early enough in the evening to know autumn is just around the corner now. I'm loving all of it so much. Off to London soon. - Happy weekend everyone!

End of the summer

Started adding extra layers now that we're slowly moving on into the next season. Am now wearing this dress over a pair of trousers and I finish the look with a sweater or, in this case, a simple blazer.

Again with the backpack

On the Vogue Blog Network this week we talk about "outfit repeating". It's a bit odd, of course, because by giving something so normal a term like that it might come across as something special instead. But wearing an outfit only once, isn't that what's really nuts? In the fashion blogosphere I think there are 2 types of bloggers: the ones that constantly keep their readers surprised and entertained by posting new(ly purchased or sponsored) looks and trends and the ones that quite simply just share their own style and everyday outfits. And well, I obviously don't belong in the surprising and entertaining category, I'm just showing you what I wear - what I actually really wear - and what I'm into. And the leather backpack is still what I'm very much into. We go together like Batman and Robin.

All Black and Birks

(Zara top, H&M Trend trousers, Birkenstock 'Arizona' sandals, Céline bag, Triwa watch and Karen Walker sunglasses)

I wore this simple all black outfit on a warm summer evening walking around in the center of charming Ravenna, Italy, last week. This top has a silky front which I think keeps it from looking too casual..
