These are some of my favourite looks from the Milan and Paris Fall 2016 collections! Marni, once again, stood out for me from the Milan shows by showing fantastic colour blocking and interesting shapes. Stella McCartney, Dries Van Noten and Nina Ricci were probably my favourite overall collections from Paris, but Valentino's yellow velvet dress pretty much even topped all of those, I absolutely adore it.

A little overview of the first month of 2016, which I personally thought was a pretty good month, although not wintery enough by far. I am a winter person, I love when the cold slaps you in the face, the days are short and you need three extra blankets to stay warm at night. So the 12 degrees Celcius we've been having these past few weeks are not really doing it for me.
But Awards Season is in full swing and I'm happy to see Leo collecting all his well-deserved statues. 'The Revenant' is the only Oscar nominated film that has impressed me this season anyway, so far. And while the rest of the world seems to be making a big fuss about the #OscarsSoWhite issue, what I really worry about is the fact that not one tv channel over here is even broadcasting the Oscars this year. - I knooooow.
I've also tried to keep up with all the Pre-Fall 2016 collections that have been presented over the past few months and after the spectacle of the Haute Couture shows last week I feel I am now ready for the upcoming Fall 2016 fashion weeks. I don't think I'll have time to attend any myself this season but I am all prepared to have my social media accounts clog up with streetstyle photos again and for vogue.com to bring me my daily dose of fresh inspiration. Naturally I'll share some of it on here later.
As for my own outfits lately - I am in the middle of a big renovation project and so I've been spending a lot of time dressed in my oldest and most comfortable clothing. Usually topped off with a beanie and, more often than I would like to admit, with a pair of Uggs. And I love having an excuse to not make an effort, if I'm totally honest.

Like a kid in a candy store I've been once again trying to pick my favourite looks from the Haute Couture Spring 2016 fashion shows which were presented in Paris earlier this week. Imagining myself being sophisticated enough to pull off a Chanel Couture, dreaming of attending the Oscars in a Valentino (those loose shapes and yummy textures!) and wondering if I would have enough glamour in me to ever rock one of those Elie Saab "Indian princess" looks..?

Velvet, subtle glitter, hints of red, faux fur, statement accessories and, perhaps more often than not, black. These are some of the things I tend to go for in festive outfits! Just thought I'd share some of the looks that I keep in my inspiration folder for the odd Christmas party.

My favourites from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2016. Too many different styles to even mention, I guess! These collections are the ones that will inspire me on all sorts of levels come springtime. But, as you can maybe tell by the selection above, I am particularly interested in adding a bit more romance and possibly even some colour or a floral print to my wardrobe in the new Spring season.
