Statement earrings

http-::www.style.com:slideshows:slideshows:street:tommy-ton:spring-2016-menswear:slides:86This streetstyle picture, snapped by Tommy Ton during the recent men's fashion weeks, I think is so stunning. First of all, her eyebrows look amazing. And secondly, this is the perfect example of how a gorgeous pair of statement earrings can easily take a look from casual to more dressy. And that is my favourite kind of "dressing up", really. credit: tommy ton for style.com [show_shopthepost_widget id="842521"]

Oscar de la Renta earrings

ODLR-earrings-top-sale-pick-fash-n-chips.com-I absolutely love a good pair of large earrings but seeing as it's something I don't really wear every day I think it's best to pick up those kind of items during sales season. And so my SALES top pick of the week: Oscar de la Renta square gold-plated crystal clip earrings, now with 40% off, here. And you can find more designer statement earrings (on sale) below. credit: net-a-porter [show_shopthepost_widget id="806311"]

A bit of sparkle

I guess sparkles don't really exist in my wardrobe - or dictionary for that matter - but with the Holidays right around the corner I thought that for this shoot I could give them a go. Just a little bit. For those of you who know me or have been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that besides not sporting a lot of sparkle I don't really wear dresses all that much either. So this fitted sparkly dress was actually a little out of my comfort zone but worn with my favourite big coat it still felt quite 'me'. - Happy weekend-before-Christmas, everyone!

Look 1: Bastyan dress, COS coat and Céline bag. Look 2: COS sweater and coat, Zara trousers and H&M clip earrings.
