Boxy

(& Other Stories shirt, vintage Levi's jeans, Zara shoes, Céline bag and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Blue and white will always be one of my favourite colour combinations, it's so fresh. This boxy shaped shirt from & Other Stories is one of the best items in my wardrobe at the moment. I love its thick fabric and mid-length sleeves. The bright orange nail polish is really just a World Cup superstition - here's hoping I'll get to wear it for at least another 2 more weeks! Bring on Mexico!

From Italy

(dress designed by me, Adidas slides, Céline bag, V&D visor and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

I just got back from a week of holiday in Italy and had an absolute great time. Before I show you some snaps I shot throughout my stay I thought I'd share one of my outfits that I wore on a day with temperatures around 35 degrees Celcius. These are temperatures way higher than what I'm used to and my wardrobe is not really prepared for days like that. However, a recent new design of mine, this navy cotton summer dress, appeared to be just perfect for this kind of hot summer weather. The wide fit I originally thought would be great to cover up my pizza-filled tummy, but, in addition to doing that, it turned out to be just perfectly breezy as well. The black visor btw is a favourite this summer, I've been wearing it almost non-stop.

Waisted

(Topshop Boutique coat, Boden cashmere sweater and woolen trousers, Zara shoes, Céline bag and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Apparently I DO have a waist. Thought it would be nice to give my good old oversized Topshop Boutique blazer a fresh new twist by adding a leather waistbelt. This, of course, instantly made me feel a little more ladylike than usual and so I thought I'd take advantage of this crazy "warm" winter weather and complete the look with bare ankles and my favourite Zara heels.
